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

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

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.

sum of $150,000, would be needed

Marion County Teaching Staff
Complete niter Two Changes
Marion; county had a complete staff of teachers in all schools
Tuesday bight although the picture had changed twice during
the day. 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. But all workers are hold
ing their breath and hoping for
the best ; '

tracts are made, flexible, to be
adjusted jto the ; prune j harvest
season that classes may be opened
without warning to jthe superin
tendent's office and without much
previous notice as the prune har

. istration of 323 pupils, 49 more

bbor
Southern Pacific has been a part of western life for
three quarters of a century. 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:
