Elected County
Chest Leader
Dr. David JV Ferguson, Pratum,
former, U. S. Army chaplain and
retired Presbyterian minister has
been re-elected president of the
Marion County Community Chest,
it was reported Friday. ?
A. A. : Atherton was re-elected
treasurer andC. A. Kells, re-elect
ed secretary. Gene Teague was
elected vice-president - for. A ; the
Stayton area and Evan Sutton for
the Jefferson area.' i
Because only $14,402 of the pro
posed $28,728 goal was raised the
chest-supported agencies in this
area received only a part of the
funds they asked for, it was re
ported.
Distributed on a pro-rated share
basis the $14,474 was given out;
$2,970 to Boy Scouts; $1,724, Camp

Welfare Suit
Proposed ia
Legislature
Old age pensioners spokesman
Rep. Joseph E. .Harvey of Port
land introduced a bill in the House
Friday to permit the State Wel
fare Commission to require rela
tives to contribute to the support
of the aged only after district at
torneys file suit.
This in effect would transfer
the matter from welfare commis
sion to the courts. The Harvey bill
also would repeal the scale of con
tributions expected from relatives
under the present law.
This and other current legisla
tive phases of the old age pension
issue will be discussed at public
hearing Thursday at 2:30 pjn. be
fore a welfare subcommittee of the
joint ways and means committee.
Meanwhile the subcommittee
will confer Saturday with county
courts from many sections of Ore
gon on budgets and other welfare
items.
A major issue up for discussion
will be whether the county courts
as members of the County Wel
fare Commissions, favor making
available for public inspection the
public welfare rolls. Records deal
ing with dependent children would
be exempt under the- bill now
before the legislature.
Another question is whether the
county courts favor a bill making
brothers and sisters liable to con
tribute to the support of relatives
receiving public assistance. Only
sons and daughters are liable to
contribute under the current rela
tive responsibility law.
The public welfare rolls could
not be used for commercial or po
litical purposes.
Convicts Give
Blood for GI
From Salem
Because a Salem infantryman
was wounded in Korea, a special
shipment of blood from - Oregon
convicts is going overseas to help
meet military hospital needs.
The wounded man is Pvt. Ken
neth Keppinger, 21, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Harold Keppinger, Salem
Route 2, Box 248. He is hospitaliz
ed in Japan with seven wounds
from shrapnel, suffered Dec. 13 in
combat.
Interested among prisoners .in
his case came about this way:
Pvt. Keppinger's dad is the
Northwest District forester super
vising a tree planting project near
Forest Grove. There work on the
project is being done by 60 State
Prison trusties assigned to South
Fork Prison camp.
When home on leave "a few
months ago young Keppinger went
to the' camp to visit his dad. Pris
oners became acquainted and lik
ed him. When they learned he'd
been wounded the trusties made a
special blood donation offer. Blood
was given by 33 of them. .
KeppingerVparents learned in a
letter this week that their son is
recuperating in the Army hospital
in satisfactory matter. But his. legs
have . not sufficiently mended to
allow him to return to duty.
Keppinger is with the 179th
Regiment of- the 45 th Infantry Di
vision. He entered Army service a
year ago this week. He was a 1951
Salem High School graduate.

Young Driver
Scores Point
In Hearings
Rep. Loren Stewart, member of
the House Highways Committee,
had little comment after fie heard
Wayne Carr, 17, Salem, speak In
opposition to Stewart's bill pro
viding that no licensed driver be
low 21 years of age could instruct
a beginner who had a learners
permit.
Carr told the committee that
parents are busy and dont have
time to instruct youngsters in driv
ing. "If you pass this bill you will
deprive a lot of teen-agers of
driver training," Carr said.
Carr asked why. the . legislature
does not pass a law requiring driv
er training in all high schools. "I
am sure such a bill would receive
the support of virtually all teen
agers,", he said.
, When Carr concluded his re
marks. Rep. Edward Geary, chair
man of the committee, asked Stew
art if he had any comment.
"What can I say,' Stewart
averred .
The committee took the bill un
der advisement pending further
discussion.

Fairgrounds "
Street Project
Being Studied
Salem . city officials are cook
ing up a plan to run a permanent
city street right through the State
Fairgrounds from Silverton Road
to Woodrow Street. -:
Flans are In ! the preumlnary
stage, - it was . reported- Friday
State Fair officials must be con
sulted. f . . : - - - - . . ; . f. , '
' Actually the street would be a
continuation of N. 16th St. which
now ends at the fairground's south
fence line. It would cut across
the grounds and pass through the
grove of oak trees known as the
old camping ground lying be
tween the Southern Pacific Rail
road tracks and the main west
gate to the grounds proper, l
The new 16th St. extension
would be a regular," permanent
city street. City Manager J.j L.
Franzen said there "has long been
a need for such, a street" t r
' Ho said . th : nronaux! tfrMt
would have three immediate ben
efits: ! .' !.
1. It would help alleviate traf
fic problems during fair week by
adding another major traffic route
to me grounds. ; i
2. It "would trovid nurh.
needed traffic route from the Sil
verton Road area to the t&si Sa
lem area and thus to the heart
of the city. It would help serve
several large - maus tries in that
area. Now most traffic coming in
Silverton road passes through the
congested Hollywood district, i
3. It would also give Salem
another nubile nark area. . r
Parties involved in tho land deal
for the street would include the
city, the State Fair Board, Wil
lamette Cherrv Grower A crea
tion, Keith Brown and Lawrence
iM. urown. All except the city
own land along the proposed
route.
If approved the street would
contact Silverton.: Road only a tew
feet north of the present railroad
tracks. The fair bus terminal
in the triangle near Portland" Road,
wouia do moved up to the new
street.
