Phil- canvassers for the opening day, as the council hopes to have Linn county one of the first to complete its quota. five members, four laymen, to be elected by the members, and the pastor of St Mary's, who. auto matically becomes the fifth mem ber of the board. The hospital is to be known as! a Catholic hos pital and the by-laws state that two members of the board must be of the Catholic faith. In a case of extraordinary decision, the archbishop of this diocese and the abbot of St Benedict's abbey at Mt Angel would be given a vote. A membership in the Mt Angel hospital association, which consti tutes life membership for a fami ly, is set at $75. Yearly dues were not definitely defined but a maxi mum of about $35 for a family, was thought possible. The announcement was made that the Sisters of St. Joseph, a nursing - order, have agreed to take over the management of the hospital. A membership of about 2000, which . would mean funds to the sum of $150,000, would be needed to start the project.

All hope today will bring no complications. Riverdale school Had one vacancy when the sun came out Tues day morning but it vanished at a 6 a. m. board meeting of the Kiv erdale district board, Then Mrs. Agnes Booth, county school super intendent, breathed a deep sigh of relief and. prepared to enjoy a carefree birthday. At 10 o'clock a Mehama teacher was taken ill and ordered by her physician to resign the position and the hunt was on again.' It was a busy .birthday for the Marioh. county school super intendents ALBANY Following a motion to make Washington street from First to the highway 99E a through street the city council voted to make Sixth street a stop street on either side of its junc tion with Washington. The latter street at present is an arterial highway from First to Sixth street with a stop sign only on the east where Sixth 1 street Crosses. . The council decided to make; First street a stop street where it; crosses Main street iit East Al bany, thus making this a stop street for either east or west bound traffic. Many accidents have occurred at this latter in tersection, probably due to the fact that Main street from the Santiam highway to First street is a through street. East bound through traffic on First street is passing a blind corner in so far as cars driving north on Main at this particular intersection are concerned. Stop signs are to be placed at these intersections at an early date. ' Late Thursday afternoon a teacher was found for the Mehama vacancy and Mrs. Booth and her co-workers went hme content that once again the stiff was com plete.

We've had our share of brickbats, and we've had bur share of praise. Mostly we've been taken pretty much for granted, like the paper boy or the milkman. ; 1 ' Since Pearl Harbor, though, people generally have regarded Southern Pacific and the other railroads with new understanding and appreciation; Now, when the chips are down, they seem to realize how indis pensable the railroads really are. 1 Because of Southern Pacific's strategic location in relation1 to the war against Japan, we have been called upon to carry an enormous westbound burden. In addition, we are handling vast quantities of raw materials and finished products of greatly expanded western industries, plus an abnormally large east bound movement of foodstuffs. The six facts below may help explain the unprece- dented burden we are carrying, and why our service to civilians is not as good as we'd like it to be: u 1 1 sell -4sssass"CBy''y'"' Iln freight and fassenger volume, South' era Pacific is the third largest railroad In America.
