SILVERTON The inadequacy of the signs placed at the
double corner on the Silvertoh-Salem highway, the reckless
driving of high school students as they come out of Brown 4
street onto North water,, and the lack of proper highway signs
on the city limit approach to East
Hill from the east were all dis
cussed at the Thursday night din
ner meeting of the Silvertori
safety council, presided over by
President Lester Standard.
The signs on the Silverton
Salem highway are without re
flectors and are of no use at night,
members of the safety council re
parted, v
: Dr. A. L. V. Smith, secretary,
was Instructed to write the
county court asking that more
effective signs be placed at this
lication. The cooperation of
the city council and city officers
wfil be asked to curb the speed
ing, of high school student and
the , placement of additional
top signs In proper places.
Referring to the suggested pur
chase of the Fischer Flouring mill
property as acivic center, Les
ter Standard, as president of the
council expressed the opinion
that "it might be wiser, if there
is money to spare about town, to
purchase a prowl car for the city
police." No action on this was
taken, however.
The proposed new city ordi
nance, covering bicycle riding
about town, was briefly discussed.
The ordinance, it was reported, is
now up before the city council.
The meeting was held at
George's cafe and the group voted
to hold the December meeting
there also.

Conditions in Norway during
the past two years, up to two
months ago, were discussed at
some length Thursday night by
Ivan Jacobsen, who had spent
seven months in a Norwegian gest
apo prison.
Jacobson stated that .his reason
for appearing was to tell the epo
ple of this country how nearly
the Norwegian people were blind
ed by the German propaganda in
early 1940, and urge the Ameri
can people not to be likewise
blinded.
He said, during his two and a
half hour talk at Silverton, that
at the time Germany moved in on
Norway, the Norwegian country
had been closer to war with Eng
land than with Germany.
He added that the poor qual
ity of equipment and the inex
perience of the British soldiers
Sent to Norway did not allevi
ate matters at once. The
British he explained were bound
and determined to fight the
war In Norway as they saw fit;
they Ignored .all help which.
Norwegian officers could have
given them.

"Inobody is starving in Norway.
