Landslide Vote Predicted by j County Oerk A landslide vote in Marion coun ty at Tuesday's election is predict ed by Marion County Clerk Harlan Judd who bases his estimates on the record numbers of sample bal lots being taken by Voters. Over 4,000 sample lists had been given out at his office by Thurs day night. Judd has ordered 3,000 more and predicts they will go in a last-minute rush Monday. Those given out over the counter in the clerk's office are in addition to the 20,000 sample ballots sent out in ballot boxes to each precinct and delivered to towns over the county. Only I 900 sample ballots were given out during the May primary elections from the clerk's office, Judd said. Judd ! indicated that possibly 70 per cent of the 41,558 registered voters will actually cast their bal lots on election day. Usually only about 60 per cent of the registered voters reach the polls, he said. Fiddlers Gain Contest Finals Five finalists were selected on Thursday night to compete for the title of state champion fiddler at the armory contest and dance, be ginning at 8 p.m. tonight About 23 old-time fiddlers were entered. John Belding, Grants Pass, Dick Barrett, Eugene, Albert Liechty, Silverton, August Olson, Albany and William Ainsley, Fullerton, Neb reached the final round after the preliminary competition. A tune-up contest was held on Wednesday at the Montgomery Ward farm store. Tommy's West Coast Ramblers from Chemawa will furnish the dancing music for quadrilles and waltzes at the finals of the contest Friday. Also featured will be Johnny Reese, Salem, on the drums. fTune Detective u Proves f Music Is Fun9, at Knife, Fork Dinner Take it from a man who -takes music seriously but not hard," music is fun and anyone can make a little of it for himself. That was the theme of Dr. Sigmund Spaeth, the "tune detective," who lectured lightly with his own handy accompaniment on a piano before the Salem Knife and Fork club Thursday night. More than 300 attended the dinner meeting in the Marion hotel. Spaeth did some tune detecting, showed how to play a piano in five minutes, recognized the im pact of radio, movies and records on music appreciation and main tained that "the classics" are far less foreboding if considered, more simply, as "permanent music." Jazzing the classics, said Dr. Spaeth, is not the heinous crime some highbrows would indicate, for through such versions of "per manent music" the casual music listener may find greater enjoy ment and, eventually the real thing in music. Anyone can have fun at the pi ano, according to the music lec turer, starting with a simple chord which provides the accompani ment for an easily-hummed tune. This he considers a better start than picking out a tune itself with one finger. In any event, said Spaeth, if the newcomer finds he likes it (just like a duffer at golf) he might want to take lessons to further his interest. Mat. Daily From 1 p.m. NOW SHOWING!
