White powder taken from three
of 86 two-ounce cans found re
cently in a ditch along side the
Pacific highway near Toncalla,
Friday, was identified as a plant
tissue used for medicinal pur
poses.

A. W. Hunter, 19, Port Angeles,
Wash., who directed state offi
cers to the cache is under arrest

rancy.

loss to figure out why anyone
would hide a harmless powder In
a ditch.
Dance Halls Get
New Restrictions
Two new restrictions were
placed on the issuance of dance

cation from Clare Byrne tor a li
cense at Pioneer hall on the high
way In the Labish district. The

SF Fair Exhibit
Coal of Realtors
Efforts to make arrangements
for a Marion county agricultural
exhibit at the San Francisco
world's fair were launched by the
Salem. Realty board Friday when
this lack was pointed out by Ar
thur Foster who is in charge of
the Oregon display. A committee
of the realty board was appointed
to look into the matter. Marion
county will be represented along
with others in an exhibit of flax,
Foster explained, but most Oregon
counties are furnishing their own
agricultural exhibits.
Foster paid tribute to the Wil
lamette Valley association for aid
in getting an emergency appropri
ation, the 193? legislative appro
priation being sufficient only to
rent space at the exposition. He
said Oregon's exhibit would be ex
ceptionally attractive. There will
be four big plate glass revolving
refrigerators for the display of
perishable products. The state
highway department also will ar
range a novel attraction.

European Fanner
Uses All of Soil
Intensive Cultivation Is
Seen on Wilson's Trip
He Tells Realtors
No soil that can possibly be
farmed goes t waste in most Eur
opean countries, Charles E. Wil
son, former manager of the Salem
chamber ot commerce, told mem
bers ot the Salem Realty board at
their luncheon Friday noon. In
many of these countries, the re
turned traveler pointed out, the
farmers lire in villages and thus
there are no signs of home life on
the farms; but where homes are
situated on farms, the houses are
mostly of stone.
Fences are also mostly ot stone.
Wilson said, and about the only
place he saw any barbed wire was
on the German-French border.
Ireland like Home
Rural Ireland looks much like
the Willamette valley, the speaker
said, with northern Ireland most
Intensively cultivated. He was also
reminded of home while traveling
through England. The soil of
.France is not so good but is even
better tended; vegetation is thick
er In the lowlands ot Holland. He
found farming carried on even
higher up on the Alps and on the
slopes of Vesuvius where lava will
flow again sometime.
Germans take greater pride In
their homes and make them more
attractive than the other peoples
of Europe, Wilson said. In some
parts ot Europe he found terraces,
miles long, utilized in order to
cultivate mountain sides which
otherwise would erode.

America Cheerful
As 1939 Appears
Shadows Abroad Countered
bj Security and Hope
for Bright Year
(By the Associated Press)
In a newly-born aura of op
timism and cheer America pre
pared last (Friday) night to cele
brate the new year.
Through the deepening pall ot
International tragedy that over
cast the world, the light ot se
curity and hope at home shlned
brighter.
The Indications were many. It
individually small. The stock mar
ket continued its upward climb.
Forecasts of the new year cele
bration were for the greatest
spending since the boom days.
Holiday week acuvmea in new
York broke records ot many years.
Entertainment reservations hit
new highs. Business leaders
throughout the nation predicted
bright days ahead.
But above all was the spirit
of confidence. People felt better.
In New York, the world's larg
est city, celebration facilities were
"booked solid" to their $15-per-person
top, and estimates circula
ted that the .festivities would
bring out 10 to 15 million hidden
dollars the greatest spree since
the boom days. Reverting to the
earthy Yankee tradition, the "City
of Tomorrow" prepared to wel
come the new year with a monster
fireworks display "the greatest
since Dewey came back from
Manila."

The Gervais sales under Mrs. Can

A substantial amount to be re
ported from Silverton today will
put the drive over J 4000 and of
ficials confidently expect last
year's mark of $4500 to be
reached soon as only half of the
regular subscribers have returned
their seal envelopes.
Rotunda Pictures
