Salem Adult Night Classes Bring
High School Diplpma to Woman
Salem area adults who lack a high school diploma, want to im
prove working skills or just want to pursue a hobby can look to Mrs.
. W. Estes of 1973 N. Capitol St. for encouragement.
Mrs. Estes completed work for her high school diploma after
four years of evening study with the Adult Education Department
of Salem Public Schools. And in the meantime she operated her home
with a son in high school and held
down a full-time job as office
manager for a Salem tire shop.
The new high school graduate
was one of 681 persons complet
ing a variety of courses offered
in the fair term by the night school
at Salem High, 14th and D Streets.
The enrollment was a record for
the adult branch since it was
started in 1946.
About the same number are ex
pected to enroll for the winter
term beginning Jan. 7, staff mem
bers said. The 33 courses offered
range from training in business
skills through homemaking arts
to a variety of hobby pursuits.
Director George D. Porter an

to go on taking night school cours
es she had by-passed to speed her
High school diploma, take college
level courses also offered evenings
by the State Department of High
er Education at the high school
or just to take it easy, education

tion repairman. Their son, Robert,
is a sophomore at .Salem High
where he is preparing for later
studies in music education at Col
umbia University, she said.
She completed her Salem High
comercra stud es but ncTuded I
sorTothers required for her di- i
requirements with a major in
ploma. For those, some special
classes were arranged for her by
the staff, she said. Mrs. Estes came
to Salem from Spur, Tex., with
IVz of the required 16 units for
graduation.
Credit was given to her family
for patience and consideration in
helping keep the home quiet dur
ing her study periods.
Enrollment for the classes is
open to any person 16 or older and
high school credit may be arranged
in some courses, Porter said.
Most classes are held Mondays
and Wednesdays in two-hour eve

Persons Get
Social Security
Under the new Social Security
law, most self-employed persons
are now included under federal
old-age 'and survivors Insurance,
according to R. C StfflwelL mana
ger of the Salem office of the So
cial Security Administration.
He said that the self-employed
owner of a grocery store or of a
gasoline station, or the person
who works for himself and has
his own trade or business will now
have the same protection for him
self and family under Social Se
curity as do workers in business
and Industry.
To be covered the self-employed
person must have a net annual in
come of $400 or more, beginning
with Jan. 1, 1951. The law, how
ever, excludes' some occupations
from self-employment coverage
mostly in the skilled professions.
When a self-employed person
files his federal income tax return
for 1951, a special Social Security
report form will be a part of the
income tax blank. Further infor
mation is available at the Social
Security office in the Courtway
Building here.
PopejBlesses
Men Locked
In PW Camps
VATICAN CITY (iP)-Pope Pius
XII Sunday broadcast his bless
ing to the legions of men held in
the world's concentration camps
and prisons. Those suffering in
Communist countries and youthful
prisoners drew the Holy Father's
particular blessing.
He said the prisoner's fate "is
much more painful in many coun
tries because they suffer innocent
ly due to unjust laws . . . whereby
the service of God is a crime.
Speaking in Italian, the Pope
quoted from Matthew, saying:
"Blessed are the meek . . . blessed
are they that hunger and thirst
for justice . . . blessed are they that
suffer persecution for justice's
sake . . blessed are ye when they
shall revile you . . . for My sake."

Pen SMie,
Grid System
The week-long prison strike. Sardine Creek fire, start of the
one-way grid system and the record-long legislature won top em
phasis for Salem area news stories during 1951.
Most news play of the year went to the legislature which ran
its 118-day -course through a myriad of obstacles including the
veterans bonus, highway bonds, milk control, fireworks ban and
the equally explosive oleomar
garine bilL
Beginning early in January,
legislators had to race to finish
their session in May. In the same
period Leo Spitzbart was fired
and rehired as manager of the
Oregon State Fair, Rex Hartley
was sworn In as county judge, a
strike of Southern Pacific switch
men tied up rail traffic, the five
children of Francisco Gutierezz of
Sweet Home were burned to
death, Carl Hogg resigned as
chairman of the State Liquor
Commission, Salem High School
lost the opening game of the state
high school basketball tourna
ment. Heavy Snow
Busy spring activities also con
tributed a belated March snow
storm which piled nearly 11 inch
es of snow on Salem, closing
schools and causing serious traf
fic tieups throughout the valley.
The Burlingham-Meeker grain
plant at Rickreall burned with a
loss of $50,000. Daylight saving
time was ordered by Governor
McKay despite a legislative bill
against it and an April dry spell
started a premature forest-fire
season including a blaze in the
Tillamook burn. The Statesman
celebrated its centennial with a
special anniversary issue.
Summer brought on the first.1
of near-constant agitation at the
Oregon State Penitentiary which
led ultimately to the hiring of
Virgil J. O'Malley as the new
3 garden and the naming of War
en George Alexander as super
intendent. August brought the
six-day strike of inmates, and the
start of the Sardine Creek forest
fire which spread over thousands
of acres, died down, then sprung

gold and Detroit evacuated when
the blaze threatened the commu
nities. State Fair Opens
The Oregon State Fair, annual
ly a big story in Salem, grabbed
additional play by starting on
Saturday preceding Labor Day for
the first time in history. The day
after Labor Day state police re
ported the tragic story of the
fatal shooting of an elderly Linn
County recluse by two teen-aged
youths he had befriended. One of
them was later sentenced to life
in the state penitentiary. Early
September also recorded the un
successful escape attempt by
Wayne Long, waiting execution
for murder. Halloween night, two
months later, Long was among 20
prisoners who were thwarted in
another attempt to escape. The
20 included such desperados as
Omar Pinson, William Benson
and Dupree Poe.
Also in October Salem drivers
ran up against a new experience
when the one-way couplet traffic
system went into effect on Capi
tol, North Summer, Marion, Cen
ter, Liberty and South Commer
cial Streets. Worried engineers
and police were relieved when
the changeover took place with
no more major hitches than an
occasional motorist driving the
wrong way on one of the one
way streets.
Thus went news in the mid
Wiallamette valley during 1951.
The tragic and the comic, the
expected and the unexpected,
progress and reaction, all took a
place in the chronicles of history
during the last 365 days.
