Silvertonls
and Sane'
SILVERTON The old -time
cry at Silverton. of enforcement
officials for a "sane" Fourth was
unheard here this season and
unneeded, with "scarcely a sound
emitted' during the three-day hol
iday.
Only the OPA and the post of
fices were open in town on Mon
day. The city hall doors were
locked late Saturday night to re
main locked until Wednesday
morning, and only the city swim'
ming pool gave competition to
government offices. Even, the city
park, tnecca of hundreds in the
old days on the Fourth of July,
was quiet over the holiday period
with only a few scattered pic
nickers gathering on Sunday.
