Polk Suggested As Name for Salem School Polk school has been suggested as a new name for the West Salem school of Salem school district 24. The name was proposed infor mally by school director Edward ek at a recent school board meeting, and other directors and school officials indicated they would sound out the sentiment of westside residents on the name. West Salem school district was annexed to the Salem school dist rict several years ago, prior to the merger of the city of West Salem with Salem. Before the merger issue was de cided, a group of Parent-Teacher association members had recom mended a name change for the school, but. the school board at that time decided any action on its part might appear to be interference in the controversial merger issue. Then and now the claim has been advanced that unity of the Salem- community .on both sides of the river would be served by grad ually removing names identified with the former separate city; The name Polk would have double significance, Majek pointed out The West Salem school is located in the Polk county portion of the Salem school district and, moreover, many Salem schools are named for U.S. presidents. Pres ident James K. Polk played an im portant part in Oregon's early his tory. The Oregon country boun dary was an Issue in his campaign and it was Polk who appointed Oregon's first territorial governor. 60 Families Occupy Farm Labor Camp About 60 families are now oc cupying Salem's farm labor camp, John Chappell, in charge for Salem Agricultural Housing, Inc., said Tuesday. Most of the families spent Tues day in the cherry orchards. Cherry growers here are seeking cherry pickers as the peak of the harvest is being reached. Continuous rec ent sunshine, it is feared, will damage the fruit if it is not har vested in a hurry. The number of families which now occupy about half the camp's total capacity, are about the same in number here as last year at this time. Chappell said that more farm laborers would have come here this season but many were dis couraged by early rumors in the south that most of Oregon s crops were destroyed last winter. Labor camp residents, who did not work Tuesday, spent a quiet July 4th, the camp manager said.

KNOCKS AT SALEM'S DOOR HORACE HEIDT IN PERSON WITH Sigwald The Pepperettes Sbeppard Bros. , AX Hlrt Kmz r . i Stars Saturday Aug. g Bank, Salem Ticket Desk Seed Crops Of Ryegrass Top '49 Mark 1 By Lillie L. Madsen Farm Editor.. The Statesman --Oregon's Ryegrass seed crop this year is up more than. 33 per cent ' over a year ago, the United States Department of Agriculture report ing service stated late Monday. Not only is the acreage larger but the crop yield per acre Is ex pected to be above average. A good snow cover protected rye grass stands during the. winter al though the reports show that rye grass suffered somewhat more winterkill than any other of the winter cover crops'. While the spring was late and ' cold, warm weather during late May followed by warm moist weather during early June provided almost ideal growing conditions for this grass this year. Some experiments have been made here in the Willamette val ley with Western Walth ryegrass, a native of Scotland. This is a biennial and in Scotland it is re portei as giving fiv cops of hay in one season. Growers report a much quicker come-back after cutting and hopes for an excellent late pasture grass is held. However, seedmen through whose efforts the experiments are being made, state that "while it looks most awfully good, it is little early to tell the full benefits of this new grass as yet." Those glowing it report an excellent stand and much more rapid growth than found in the English and common ryegrasses. A record total of 731,500 acres of important kinds of winter cover crops hairy vetch, common and Willamette vetch, Australian win ter peas and common ryegrass have been saved for seed this year in the nation, the USDA crop re porting service shows. This is a 63 per cent gain over the acreage harvested in 1949. jf Oklahoma with 150,000 acres of hairy vetch indicated for harvest representing nearly two-fold In crease over last year, leads all states in acreage. Texas is second with Just half that much, and Ore gon is third with 72,000 acres. In Oregon, the crop came through the winter with a minimum of loss. A total of 101,000 acres of Com mon and Willamette vetch is in dicated in Oregon, California and Washington this year, with 94 per cent of it grown in Oregon. In this, too, average or somewhat above average yields per acre are expected. More Australian winter peas is also being saved for seed in Ore gon this year than last The record total of 197,500 acres for all states is more than twice as large as the 90,000 acres harvested last year. State Highway Department Calls for Bids PORTLAND. July 4 The state highway commission is calling for bids at its meeting here July 10 and 11 on 32 projects, located in 22 counties of the state, and which in the aggregate represent an est! mated total expenditure of $2, 200,000. Bids will " be received for the widening and resurfacing of por tions of Pine, Commercial and Liberty streets In Salem. This pro ject represents, the second step in developing the Salem traffic plan of city streets and highway routes through the city, the first contract for the pier construction of the new Marion street bridge over the w.uJamette being already u.ider way. Bids will be opened July 11 on a project in Amity, on Woodson and Ash j erects between Trade and Nursery streets.

The topic enterea recent discussions ox xno sutie emergency Doara n KnlPtn , t- State Senator Howard Belton mentioned particularly the state unemployment compensation com mission. "Some people down my way have returned home 'awful mad because they were unable to obtain certain Information,' Belton averred. J State Reo. Rudie Wilhelm, Port land, said he also had heard sim ilar complaints ' ' . These comments followed dis cussion of a request to increase materially the budget of the un employment compensation com mission for the remainder or ine current biennium. Belton told fellow members of the emergency board that the 1949 interim -committee on taxes, ,of which he is chairman, has virtual ly concluded hearings and will soon start the work oi lormuiaiing its report to the 1951 legislature. "It is the hoDe of the committee to have the report completed and ready for riling not later tnan November 1." Belton said. The committee has held hearings In several parts of the state. The so-called "Little Hoover- interim committee also is progress ing satisfactorily, members said, with the result that , a number of specific recommendations have been received and are under con sideration. This committee was expected toj suggest several consolidations of state activities. Most previous at tempts to consolidata state ac tivities by legislative action have proved futile due largely to oppo sition by pressure groups. When you step on the toes or any u particular state aepartmeni you are certain to invite protests," a committeeman declared. Changes in the state motor act, under which busses and trucks are regulated, probably will come from the committee on motor rev enues. Officials said an amend ment by a previous legislature originally intended to readjust and increase motor act revenues to the state had resulted In a material reduction in receipts. This act is administered by the state public utilities commissioner. Probably one of the outstanding interim committees is that now considering the elementary i and Runaway Boys Admit Passing Bogus Checks Two young boys who nicked Salem merchants for $150 by sign ing such names as "John Doe" and "Jack Armstrong" to a dozen bog US checks were in dentention quar ters here Tuesday following their apprehension by U. S. immigra tion authorities at th Canadian border. The Salem boys, aged IS and 14, told the city Juvenile officer they wrote and cashed the checks a week ago after they decided to run away from home. They said they got the blank checks at two local banks then made out 12 to )5 of them for amounts averaging $10 and cashed them at stores both downtown and in the Capitol Shopping center. The boys said they never were asked to show identification, even when they cashed one check they had signed "John Doe." They said they used a different name on each check. City 'police Tuesday said they had received no complaints con cerning the checks the boys wrote. After amassing about $150, the boys hopped a bus for Portland and later proceeded to the border where they had $95 left when ap prehended. They were held at Blaine, Ida ho for their parents who turned ihe mover to Marion co'jiiy au thtrities on their return to Salem. Both were held as Juvenile delin cuents.

Cherry Fruit Flv Emergence Tops of 1950 The largest cherry fruit fly env ergence of the 1950 season has been recorded by County Exten sion Agent D. L. Rasmussen who found 24 fruit flies under the two emergence cages in the Lamberta orchard east of Salem: on Friday "This , continued emergence of cherry fruit flies from the soil means that cherry growers must keep a protective' spray or dust cover on their trees; until the cherries have been picked," says Rasmussen. Unless the cherry fruit flies are killed before they reach the egg laying i stage, they will cause wormy cherries and complete loss of the crop. Extra sprays or dusts must be applied by sour cherry growers or sweet cnerry growers whose or chards are late maturing or too large to bt picked in a, few days. Rasmussen reminds growers that the interval between' sprays and dusts should not exceed 10-14 days. (i 1 r TTl only S12P5 brings !)fpW) you a genuine U(&W-IHTOt!

Newbry Terms Auto License Plan Success STATE HOUSE, SALEM, July 4-(Special)-The first month's trial of the new staggered motor ve hicle registration system; based on the expiration- date of June 30, ap parently proved a success, Secre tary of State Earl T. Newbry an nounced here Tuesday. .Approximately 65,000 licenses expired on June 30 with a simi- lar number of renewals due dur ing the remaining months of this year. Actual number of delin quents on June 30 has not yet been determined but checking is now in progress in the state motor vehicle department. State policeheadquarters here reported Tuesday they also were checking car owners whose regis trations, expired in June and have not been renewed. The police tressed that the new '51 tags shall be attached to the regular car license plate and not carried inside the automobile. A substan tial number of arrests were made Monday and most of the persons involved were unable to obtain their renewals over the Fourth of July holiday. Checking of both car registra tions and drivers' licenses are to continue, police said, with road blocks indicated in various sec tions of the state. Newbry said that up to this time his regular motor vehicle crew has been able to handle the license plate renewals and no ad ditional workers will be required through the remainder of the cur rent year. Prior io adoption of the staggered license system it was necessary to employ several hundred additional workers for three or four months starting late In November. , 1 Service also -has been stepped up and there Is no delay in ob taining renewals provided the ap plicant submits the proper infor mation. The new staggering system of license plates renewals was ap proved by the 1949 legislature. "I am. certain the legislature Square, roomy tub.
