I Log Truckers Demand Raise Lebanon Haulers Advised 1 by CIO Organizer; 8 per Cent Increase Sought . LEBANON la 1 Lebanon's first strike.. l logging truck drivers, 14 of whom own their tracks, have stopped working for the Swanson and i Scott-Gilbert Logging com panies. Their demand for an in crease of approximately g per cent tn the price being paid for the hauling of logs has been refused by officers of the companies, who maintain that they can not meet the demand,: , H. LV Thompson. CIO organiser for the lumber and sawmill work ers union is here and met with logging company represents tires and the drivers' committee, 'who maintain that this is technically not a labor dispute because the matter disputed is not wages being paid track drivers, but the price being paid to truck owners for the hauling of the logs. Both companies , are . operating In the Berlin district and their ogs go to mills in ''Lebanon, Al bany and Salem. , : . - The union organiser speaking for the truckers Insists that he will not compromise and the mat ter is apparently in a deadlock. LEBANON The city - council allotted $1200 for the annual sal ary of an extra city employe. The question came up as to whether an added police officer - or an added fireman wad more- neces sary. At the last council meet ing the matter : of having one man serve as an assistant in both departments was discussed.' This week firemen went on record as opposing such a division. A full time paid fireman would, keep the fire insurance rates 'down, they suggested. Two new members of the volun teer brigade were elected. Claude Durlam will succeed Victor Muet te. deceased, and Warren Walker will take the place, tacated by the resignation of John Summers. ' An amendment to the' constitu tion was proposed' - which would automatically retire ; ar member upon his attaining the age of 60 and which would limit to 25 years, the time which any one could serve. It will be voted upon at the next meeting. LEBANON New uniforms for the high school band will be here by the first of the month.

I OHEGON STATESMAN, Salem, Rose Hitoiy Is ' Told at Meeting Salem Declared Potential Center of World's Best Gardens ! HAZEL GREEN Hazel Xreen Garden dub members heard the reading ef a letter, written . by Father Schoenoar. now. of Santa Barbara, to r the ' Portland Rose society some years ago. V When Dr. Schoenoor was pastor of the Catholic church at Brooks, he spent much time in experimenting with roses, developing . some new ones from sweetbrler. I Sweetbrier, which grows to such heights in the Willamette valley. Is not native, but is the eglanterla Or rubigonosa of Scotland, brought to Fort Vancouver by a Dr. Tay lor in 1824. It .has spread over western Oregon, Washington and lo British Columbia, j Dr. Schoenoor received a spe cial award at the San Francisco fair, 19 IS, on a sweetbrler from this section. His greatest achieve ment was his crossing of . the sweetbrier with a Spitsenburg apple to produce a rose-apple, which looks like the Spitsenburg and makes delicious preserves. This most prized tree ' was de stroyed by the fire that burned the parish house in Brooks about 1922. - Father Schoenoor tried to inter est other scientists, and a noted one connected with Cornell uni versity said, "it couldn't be. done." After the burning' of parish house. Father Schoenoor moved his large planting of roses to Portland. Some years later he went to Santa Barbara, where he has developed new plants. One that Is receiving much attention is a rose developed from Australian stock. He considers the soil near Salem the finest in the world for growing roses and suggests that Salem should hare a municipal rose garden, making a generous offer to give some of his roses to the project. Mrs. Percy Henderson of Labish Gardens told, of experi ments she has been making with red and white roses, trying to de velop a red and white stripped rose that will be a perpetual bloomer. . The club is a member of the KOAC Radio Garden club. Original roses were grown in China 300 years ago, and later in glass houses by Romans before the Christian era. Danlask roses were brought to Europe from Asia minor in 1600. There are 00 va rieties of roses today. The club will meet at the home of Mrs. Zeno Gregg Thursday, February 20.
