Angel Friday night, March 11, to give a memorial concert in honor of Father Dom inic Waedenschwyler in the school gymnasium on the hilltop, the town wilt owe that honor to fcs moat illustrious citizen, whose musical genius 'aspired the Portland conductor to do Mt. Angel this signal Honor. Father Dominic died almost 17 years ago but r is still a. well-remembered personality to the greater percentage of the town folks, having been pastor here for 25 years. . Father Dominic's music was a part of the town; he composed music for the church; he compos ed songs for the school children; he played .the organ, led the choir, taught singing to the children in school, conducted the secular quartets, trios, etc.; played the wedding marches and the funeral dirges and in between he was a 14-hour pastor to his flock. He treated them all with the same kind consideration. Born In Switzerland Father Dominic was born Feb. II, 1863, in Canton Thurgau, Switzerland, as Paul Waedensch wyler, the youngest of the six children of the village schoolmas ter and organist His father was his first music teacher and later the 'boy continued his studies at the abbey school of Engelberg. His family wanted him to make the most of his talents and choose music as his career, but despite til the urging, he entered the age Id Benedictine monastery at En- felberg in 1883 at the age of 28. Im was ordained to the priesthood tour years later. The same year, 1887, he was sent to. Oregon to help in the newly-established monastery at Mt -Angel. In 1889 he became the first di rector of the Mt. Angel seminary fend later held the offices of rector fef Mt Angel. college and novice Boaster of the. seminary Bent to Europe la 1996 The year 1900 marked an im- Ertant event in Father Dominic's e. He was sent to Europe to stu dy music at the Berlin conserva- gry. His teacher was Zngelbert umperdinck, a puoil of Wagner and the composer of the opera, Hansel and G ret el. Father Domin ie's "Beautiful Willamette," com posed three years earlier, aroused faumperdinck's interest and en couragement and let to the com posing of "Call Of the West- pd Nature's Morning Hymn." Both .were written in Berlin. He was graduated with : hon- Cs from the conservatory- in 07 and then toured Europe. For a short period he studied church Eusic on the Isle of Wight under m Mooquerau, the founder of Solesmes school of plain chant, and then returned to Mt Angel. He was appointed pastor of Mt 'Angel in 1910. Trie beautiful St Vary's Church- was completed un der his .43tettt4m;:mf'tei;i rears . the - present ; 5t Mary's school was built v- ff,';; ; r Bfany Msule Friend , " Among Hither Dominic's better known works are "Haec ' Dies," Missa Solemnis" and "Japanese Lullaby," dedicated and first sung by Madame. Schumann - Heink. Father Dominic had many friends among the musical- great and Ma dame Schumann - Heink was a special friend who .visited him at lit. Angel a number of times. Broken in health by his strenu ous activities, he retired to the monastery in 1931 where he died April 1, 1932. ; - His "Call of the West!, was first presented by the Portland Symphony- orchestra in Portland In 1914 under George-E. Jeffrey and again in 1931 by the Portland Jun ior symphony. His "Ecce Quam Bonum" . was : performed in the White HoUse In Washington, D. C an Christmas eve in lf1.

PubKc Welfare Hearing Set Tuesday Night A public hearing on - the pro posed $50 minimum old-age pen sion bill next Tuesday night is ex pected to steal much of the thun der from formal sessions of the Oregon legislature. The hearing, called by the house committee on social welfare, will start at 7 pan. in the house of representatives chambers. It will be limited to consideration of the pension bill (house bill 436) and is not expected to include riisnts sion of other measures which would place state liens on pen sioners, property. Committee Chairman Joseph Harvey said. An attempt in committee to in clude in the main bill a provi sion barring such liens was- de feated Saturday. The measure to be studied, as different from the so-called Eagles bill from which it grew, leaves welfare under the state commission, instead of it being under a single director, and sets the eligibility age for women at 65, instead of 60. -The changes were made to insure the continued flow of federal funds, sponsors of the amended measure say , The bill as now constituted also makes no provisions for srnings whatever recipients earn, or re ceive from other sources being de ductible from asssitance checks. The measure is more liberal in some other instances, however. It allows a recipient of aid to have $500 in cash, an insurance policy of up to $1000 cash value, and a $1000 car without deductions. The former proposal would have allowed $250 In cash, $500 in In surance and a $750 car. The house voted Saturday to allow the use of its chambers for the hearing so long aa only the galleries were used for spectators. Unauthorized persons will not be allowed at 'the desks of members. Referendum on Housing Sought Recommendation that the peo ple be given a cnance to vote on whether they want housing fi nanced through state bonds came from the legislative committee on housing Saturday. The committee also proposed laws to encourage building of homes and that cities get state-aid from the state for such purpose. The committee included Reps. Harvey Wells and Phil Dreyer and Sens. Thomas Mahoney and Jack Lynch, all of Portland, and Rep. Earl McNutt, Eugene. SALARY BILLS PASS Bills Increasing the salaries of county-officers of. Tillamook, Clat top, lfcCKl lUver.. Croolc andXol ujnU counties -were tsassed-br the house "and sent -to the senate for further action Saturday. . Repeal of Excise Transportation Passes Senate A memorial asking congress to repeal the wartime federal excise tax on transportation was adopted in the senate Saturday and sent to the house. It requests repeal of the? 15 per cent tax on passenger fares : and the S per cent levy on freight and shipments. Sen. Dean Walker, Independ ence, said the freight tax is plac ing an undue hardship on western shippers sending goods to eastern markets. State Asked To Help with Tideland Fight Oregon should join other states in opposing the federal govern ment's attempt to take over tide lands. Attorney General George Neuner told the joint legislative ways and means committee Satur day in asking a $10,000 appropri ation to take part in court suits and congressional action. Rex Kimmell, assistant attorney general, said the federal govern ment was seeking title to tidelands totalling 1510 square miles, extend ing up the Columbia to Bonneville dam and possibly even including Portland docks. He said Gov. Dou glas McKay also wanted to contest the Issue. All lands affected by tides are sought by the federal government; Kimmell said. The attorney gener al of Texas is leading the move to get congressional action reserv ing tidelands for the states. Vets' Preference Passed in Senate A measure to give veterans pre ference in state examinations for departmental promotions as well as in initial employment tests was passed in the senate Saturday and sent to the governor. The new law repeals the 1945 act which extends a 5 per cent preference to veterans taking ex aminations for state jobs. The measure is backed by veteran's organizations. School Bus Bond Plan Approved A bill to allow newly formed school districts to issue bonds to buy school buses was passed In the senate Saturday and sent to the governor. Under the present law new con solidated districts are not permit ted to issue special bonds to buy buses until the next regular school district election. Sponsors of the bill said the existing restriction leaves the new . districts without necessary transportations facili HOW llii VOULL f-IND IT IS WELL WORTH "YOUJ2 WHILE, TO MODERNIZE DOMICILII - aat 'VnaWssWa9aw - i.t"iiiat y , j SL tlf. mi V n.

TOXA1.BW Xi-irA'Nf im f sisriNcrtvi coiots Front & Court Streets Phono 3-1183 Rogue Power Battle Draws Large Crowd The state affairs committee of the house has plenty of words to consider on the proposal to per mit construction of the $90,000,000 irrigataon-power-flood control project on the Rogue river. Nearly 200 residents of Jose phine and Jackson county at tended a public hearing on the question Friday night. The issue is whether to remove the dead line for dams eight miles down stream to make possible construc tion of Lewis dam which is re garded as the key structure of the proposed U.S. bureau of reclam ation project. Most of the opposition came from fishermen who contended the dam would destroy fishing. They also said power could better be developed on other streams and that the area wasn't worth irri gating anyway. The opponents included the state game and fish commissions; ranchers who contended the re sultant lake would inundate their homes, and representatives of the Oregon Wildlife federation and the Izaak Walton league. Proponents included County Judge W. A. Johnson of Grants Pass who said the project would add 1000 new farms and reduce the $250,000 annual flood bill. County Ckmmissioner Robert Ly tic of Jackson county declared the Rogue valley needs indus try and wa are very short of water." Organized labor was declared in favor of the project, as was State Grange Master Mor ton Tompkins. - Senate Approves Non-Partisan Vote For Assessors A bill providing for non-partisan nomination of county tax assessors was approved in the senate Satur day and sent to the house, The measure is a move by the Mill Creek Fish BUI Tabled by House Committee The proposal to set aside Mm Creek fishing for persons under IS years old was tabled Friday, at least temporarily, by the house game committee. Members said they had received numerous protests from persons owning propel t j along the creek, and that thus far it had not been determined whether the proposed bill could be made constitutional if it gave rights to property own ers and barred everyone else over the age limit It was deemed pos sible, too, that property ownets would not even be affected by the measure. Rep. Douglas Yeater, commit tee member, laid Saturday he would attempt to have the legal point : decided, and that ft was possible the committee later might vote to reconsider its motion ta bling the bin. Marriage Validation Measure Introduced A bill to validate illegal mar riages entered into by Oregon re sidents during the past two years was introduced in the senate Sat urday. The measure Is the usual correc tive act to legalize marriages of persons who married outside of Oregon before their six -month waiting period expired. state tax commission to take as sessors offices out of politics. The commission believes the offices would be more efficient if esses sors owe no political obligations. If approved in the house the bd would place assessors on the same status as candidates for judgeships. If an stsessnr received a two-thirds majority in a primary election he would be automatically elected: In case of no majority in the prim aries, the two candidates receiving the highest number of votes would run in the general election. Sen. Thomas R. Mahoney, Port land, opposing the measure on the floor, notified the senate he will move for reconsideration of the favorable vote Monday. AsU Yonr s at-..
