Civic Players Show Versatility
In f Third Floor Back9 Drama
By Robert E. Gangwaro
City Editor. Th Statesman
Salem Civic Players Friday night fit an old play with a timeless
theme into this modern Christmas season, as they opened a two-night
performance of Jerome's "Passing of the Third Floor Back."
The transformation of 11 self-seeking, querulous individuals into
persons of character gave all 11 an
opportunity to display versatility.
Their transformation was accomp
lished by the sudden presence in
their lodging house "third floor
back" of a Christ-like fellow
lodger. Cast in this role almost li
terally as the "deus ex machina,"
George Hall played the good ex
ample with effectiveness.
' The parade of characters, all
"bad'at first, then "good," re
sembles a morality play. The
sweetness-and-light closing strikes
the sentiment of the Christmas
season.
Agnes Drummond made a con
vincing landlady and Helen Lucas
and Barbara Henry handled the
most difficult "transformations"
neatly. The play will be given to
night at 8:15 in the playhouse at
155 S. Liberty st.

SILVERTON, Dec. 17 J. H. Mc
Cullough was brought to the Sil
verton hospital Friday afternoon
for treatment following an auto
mobile collision early Friday in the
Brush Creek area-
McCullough was driving toward
Salem to his work in Independence,
when his car collided with a Wil
lamette Packing company truck
driven by T. J. Shipler. Shipler
was shaken but uninjured. TheJ
McCullough car was completely
demolished.
At first it was believed McCul
lough was not badly injured, al
though he was cut about the face
and the neck. Later shoulder, in
jury and severe bruises were dis
covered and he was removed to
the local hospital.
22 Men Take
Civil Service
Firemen Tests
The largest civil service "class"
since the war took written exam
inations for city fireman jobs Fri
day at city hall when 22 men of
the 23 who had taken out applica
tions were tested under the direc
tion of Alfred Mundt, city recorder
and secretary of the Salem civil
service commission.
In small groups the candidates
will report to the fire department
Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday to
undergo tests in handling firemen's
equipment. Following this, Mundt
will grade examinations and sub
mit a new eligibility list to the
commission.
Few immediate appointments to
the firefighting force are expected,
however, as most of the jobs are
now filled by men under civil serv
ice. An eligible list is needed, how
ever, for the coming year when the
firemen's shorter work week, as
approved by voters, takes effect.
This will require an extra shift of
about 17 men.
