Talks on
Books
. On Saturday afternoon the
- Chemeketa chapter of Daughters
ef American Revolution met in
the home of Mrs. Edwin Jozy on
Hoyt street,; ;.
Miss Eleanor Stephens spoke
on some recent books which give
emphasis to the fact that our free
life is not an accident but an in
heritance. Among the titles men
Honed were: "When the French
: Were Here, by Stephen Bonsai,
Toung'un", by Herbert Best;
We Stand United." by Stephen
Benet; "My Country.jby Russell
W. Davenport; "Westward the
Women," by Nancy Wilson Ross;
'Immortal Woman." by Irving
Stone and "When Johnny Comes
Marching Home," by Dixon
Wechter.
In the business meeting, pre
sided over by Mrs. Charles A.
Ratcliff, a letter was read from
the president general, Mrs. Julius
Young Talmadge, about the new
war projects which the surgeon
generals of the army and navy
submitted to the society for ad
option. One of the projects to
cheer patients in the Mayo Gen
eral army hospital at .Galesburg,
Illinois, is for the purchase of a
wired program distribution sys
tem costing $60,000, one of the
latest miracles in radio. Every
service man will have head
phones, a row of five buttons
will give him choice of five pro
grams including the main speaker-system
of the hospital.
The other two projects concern
the navy. One will provide mo
bile x-ray units for six new hos
pital ships. These units can be
moved to various parts of the -ship
and are so constructed that
they can be taken ashore to be
used in isolated places. Each unit
will cost $19,000. The third war
project "will provide another type
portable x-ray unit for use on
navy hospital ships. This type
can be moved to any place in the
wards and private rooms. Each
portable costs $900. They will be
installed on the seven navy hos
pital ships now in service and
on the six new ships now being
built. The government does not
provide these portable x-ray un-
its.
Mrs. E. A. Jory, chairman of
genealogical records told of com
pleting the copying of tombstone
inscriptions in the Odd Fellows
cemetery in Salem. Her 83 typed
pages will be bound with the
manuscript of tombstone inscrip
tions compiled by Mrs. Robert
Morton in 1941 and presented to
the state library last November.
This book, giving the records of
all cemeteries in Marion coun
ty, will be placed in the genea
logical archives of the state li
brary. Mrs. J. D. Fontaine, chairman
of conservation, reported the dis
tributlon of six dozen cork
corns received from the nation
al chairman of conservation. As

new industry in this state.
