He sent word here ten days or so ago that in order to drive Sir Laurel Guy, his roadster stallion, at the state fair he would need a four-wheeled buggy, Instead of the two-wheeled sulky he expected to use- So he wanted his office here to get the buggy out to him fast.

Bach Lot Corn Won Attar ds At State Fair Sweet corn winning first prize at this ; year's Oregon stat fair was grown in downtown Salem by Mrs. Murray Wade. ) The corn rows ,were a part of the family garden where the soil has been cultivated for nearly 100 yearS. ; When the stalks were 10 feet tall neighbors from the corn state of Iowa said the stalks were growing too tall to produce good corn, but when as many as five ears appeared on some of the tall stalks they advised taking the tall est stalks to the state fair. With the corn getting ripe, Mrs. Wade tied ribons to the two tall est stalks to take to the fair, and ate, frore or canned the corn from the shorter stalks with fewer but larger and better developed ears. It wss when only the two tall beribboned stocks were left that Mrs. Wade learned the state fair prize was not for the tallest corn or the i stock with the most ears. It was for the 10 best ears. So there was nothing to do but shuck the 10 ears, which she regarded as the poorest corn left, and hope that no competing entries would be made. - Ten entries showed but Mrs. Wade's corn won': the blue ribbon.

E. 32nd avenue and Francis street Three families are involved. He declined to release the names of the families.

The total number of cases in the year totals 26, he said. in spending Marshall plan dollars and open the door of Canada and the United States a bit wider for British goods. The aim is to per mit Britain to earn more dollars and conserve those she has. Cripps, British chancellor of the exchequer, said; the three-power decision ; "certainly" . would halt further dangerous drains on Bri tain's gold and dollar reserves and put the nation in a position to ad vance economically The 10-point program involved four immediate trade concessions to the dollar-short British by the American and Canadian govern ments. The first four steps are: 1. Permission from the United States for Britain to use its Mar shall plan dollars for a "wider range" of products. Britain had urgently requested this permis sion, particularly for purchase of Canadian wheat which it has been buying with its own scarce dol lars. Under present rules Britain must confine its Marshall plan purchases of wheat to the United States, i t. A pledxe by Canada to in crease buying of strategic tin and rubber from British areas and a United States promise to review its stockpiling program to see if it can do the same. The United States also said it is prepared to modify present rubber regulations in order to give Brit ain's natural rubber exports a greater market in this country. 3. A streamlining of America and Canadian customs regulations to eliminate "red tape" which Britain claims has hindered her shipments of goods. 4- An implied promise that the United States might permit Brit ain to : discriminate temporarily against American imports in favor of goods from non-dollar areas. The other six steps agreed upon by the three western allies as "long range" help for Britain are: 1. Overseas Investment A three-nation committee will be set up to outline ways for increasing the flow of private and govern ment bank funds for investment in British areas. 2. Tariff Policy A statement by the United States that its policy is to seek further tariff puts within the framework of the re ciprocal trade act. : I. Further discussion of ways in which Britain could earn more dollars ; by use of Its merchant fleet to haul exports. 4. Mere discussion of plana for Britain to buy oil with sterling in stead of dollars, thus relieving the drain on her 'dollar supply I. A further study of ways In which Britain can handle the $13, 500,000,000 war debt it owes the sterling countries to keep it from interfering with plans for ex panded exports and increased production from her industries S.

City Manager J . L. Franzen assured the city council Monday night. He said preliminary work; with the park advisory board has re sulted in a development plan soon to be detailed for the council's consideration. Since the city became owner of the property, only- cleanup wore nas been done, dux i area eventually will be developed for playgrotnds, sports and picnic purposes, Ffianzen said. AldermentDaniel J. Fry and Al bert H. Gill called for a full re port, stating that the public should be kept informed on the proposed park development. Franzen said the flat area near the new Willamette university athletic field would lend itself to various athletic purposes, 'with ample room for football, baseball, track and other sports. The south east corner between two creeks could become a small children's play area and the wooded sections elsewhere would make good pic nic and general playground sites, he added. Final action on toning of: new area across the river, surrounding West Salem, was deferred when Francis Smith and Jack Olson asked for reconsideration by the zoning commission. Mayor R. L. Elfstrom said he felt the entire zoning plan should await outcome of the West Salem merger elec tion.
