Joining Salem
May Be Voted
Acting not Just as the mayor of
Salem but as representative of
numerous residents of the subur
ban areas which might be affect
ed by the move, L M. Dough ton
declared Tuesday that he expect
ed to take first steps soon toward
placing on a special ballot' to be
cast at the time of the May pri
maries the proposal ; to include
within Salem's city limits certain
areas now adjacent to Salem.
From numerous suburban
dwellers, Doghton said, have come
telephone calls to the mayor since
the council meeting Of December
7, expressing interest in the' move
to Include their areas in the city's
corporate limits and the hope that
a committee report unfavorable to
the city's initiation of such a pro
posal would not dim the chances
of such action.
Should the question definitely
be slated for a vote in May,
Dough ton declared last night, ev
ery resident of the areas affected
will be given an opportunity to
hear about and discuss the plan.
"Its no secret," he maintained,
"that many of th conveniences
enjoyed in those areas are guaran
teed their support by the con
tinuous tax income. Yet some of
the residences in the suburbs are
paying more than the guarantors.
It's an uneconomic situation, and
one which might just as well be
remedied now." 4
30 to 50 Per Cent
Oregon Draftees
To Be Fathers
After studying' new selective
service regulations, just received,
based upon the "father draft"
bill recently enacted. Col. Elmer
V. Wooton, Oregon selective ser
vice director, said they would
have little effect upon the pro
cedure In this state, since it has
been the policy to place fathers
at the bottom of the draft list
Wooton said between 30 and 50
per cent of the Oregon draftees
in January would be pre-war
fathers.
The new law requires the re
classification of many men who
previously were rejected for phy
sical reasons. Wooton said only
10 per cent of Oregon registrants
have been rejected on physical
grounds.

US Neighborly
Kiwanis Learns
A new spirit of "neighborli
ness, rediscovery of the Golden
Rule and a "sense of mission in
contrast to previous isolationism
are observable in the United
States today. Rev. Wesley Nichol
son, pastor of the Congregational
church in Eugene, told, members
of the Salem Kiwanis club at their
luncheon Tuesday.
These trends, he said, will help
America to assume- its proper
place in the re-shaping of civili
zation following the collapse of
the old fsensate" civilization, now
under way according to authori
ties quoted by the speaker,
Concern was voiced, however,
as to Americans' ability to over
come race prejudice, just now
strongly in evidence and a pos
sible barrier to the realization of
this . nation's proper world mis
sion. Rev. Mr. Nicholson was in
troduced by Prof. S. Oliver of
Willamette university.

ter .of approval and appreciation
to executives of Warner Bros, the
atres who have made a new coast

unaccompanied by parents from
