Navajo Indian Boys Pick 13 Tons of Beans Statesman News Servie CHEMAW A Fourth and fifth year boys, enrolled in the Special Navajo Program at Chemawa In dian School answered the call to pick beans to the tune of about 27,000 pounds, and with consider able profit to themselves. By arrangement with the sup erintendent of the Indian School, 43 of the boys attending the school here from their reserva tion in Nex Mexico and Arizona were transported to the Werline Ranch and Mission Bottom area by bus. Supervision of the boys during working hours was done by Mr. Ora Moore, of the Navajo vocational staff. Miss Winifred Kiske, leader of the Special Navajo Program, has pointed out that many of the boys had no opportunity to earn money for themselves during the summer, and that this activity has provided the boys with money to meet personal needs. Further, such participation in a commu nity emergency fits well with the overall aims and objectives of the Navajo Program. Silverton Visited By Robert Alfred Statesman Newi Service SILVERTON Robert Alfred, a junior at Willamette University, was a guest of his grandfather. Itatcimaa Ntws Servlc SILVERTON Eight bids for laying 900 feet of 14-inch pipe to replace 'he old main water line from Norway to the city reser voir, were opened Monday night at the regular council meeting and left for the city manager to figure before a contract is let Much of the old pipeline was built in 1297 and fear of using the pump on the end of Norway Street because the line might not hold, has prevented much use of this water source during the sum mer. Bids varied from 93,000 to $5,0000. Carl Swenson who lives on the east end of Paradise Alley was rt the council asking for an ex t -i of the city water line to his place where he plans, to raise chickens, about three-quarters of a mile from city limits. He of fered to pay for having the line built There would, he said, be three customers on the line. Swenson did not receive too much encouragement from the council which indicated the place was too far out and there were many situations in town which needed to be conquered first Five new street lights and two , replacements were authorized at the meeting. First of the re quests, which were granted Mon day night, had been made in 1951. Included in the new ones are South Center at West Main; 124 Cherry St, 525 S. Second; 158 Fisk at North Second and Coon and at Third and Park. Communications showed that Silverton's new fire truck was expected to be here by Sept 29. At request of Postmaster Hen ry Aim, permission was granted to place a flag pole on the side walk in front of the new Post Office, as architecture of the building is such that placing the pole on top of the building was impractical. Announcement was made of the League of Oregon Cities meeting in Portland Oct 25 to 28 and plans were made for City Manager R. E. Borland tj attend the session. Some of the council members, including Mayor Harry Carson, also plan to attend. A special meeting of the city council will be held shortly to accept a waterline pipe bid. m mm i 1 MkM HUTRl-TOHIC The permanent for borne use endorsed by BEAUTICIANS through use T. B.
