-2. Our Valley By CHARLES IRELAND J .niwii. Salem Young Republicans may go big game hunting soon. ... They want a big-name speaker for a banquet they are contemplating early m 1955. . . If their safari is successful, the news will blow your hat off. .... And they'll have no trouble dispensing gobs & gobs of chicken, creamed peas and parsley at the proposed $25 a plate. ' .. :;j ''"!'"! j v.. ; 1 ' ' Nothing official yet, but more illumination will almost certainly be added to the Deny Railroad crossing, just east of RkkrealL . . This is the crossing where three fatal accidents have occurred during the past two years. . . A flashing signal likely will be added to the east side of the tracks where there is only a sign at present. ... (By the way, have the railroads finally replaced all those old fashioned signs that read "Look Out for the Cars"? They were not uncommon 25 years ago, but it's probably been 50 years or - more since many people called trains "the cars"). - i ; . Plenty of history will be recalled when Hazel Green dedi-: cates its new $9 J,uw schoolftouse Tuesday night. . . Much oi it. already has been' recalled, , in fact, in a delightful, short history of the school compiled by Margery May Looney. V . She writes that the school was organized the year the Civil War ended ('65) and took its name from the undergrowth of hazel. . . Pupils used to drive deer from the school yard, boys rode work-oxen to school arid sometimes ran home in terror when the tres made a sound like a panther's scream. . . The teachers "boarded around," spending week in each home and moving every : Sunday. !. . As Margery Looney notes, this had its points: ;The teacher got acquainted with the par ents and saw the home 'environment. . . (But where would we put 'em jtoday in these cramped little two-bedroom houses that so many of us are going quietly nuts in?) ; ' " - : fli'f .i - , :-1 !; - More Hazel Green history: One pupil of those early day sur vives Mrs. Louisa Johnson, who went to Hazel Green School in 1876. She now lives with her daughter, Mrsi Robert Beer, in North Howell district . . In those days there was a Literary and Debat ing Society, also a singing school led by George Applegard of y England. . . Many church denominations used the old Hazel Green . School, including Baptists, Methodists, Dunkards and an E. U. B. congregation. . . Spelling matches attracted attention and drew visitors and talent from other districts. . . (Apparently spelling is still stressed at Hazel Green. Sharon McKimmey .of that school won the 1954 Statesman-KSLM spelling contest).

New aces of 1955 will include at least three dairymen, all from the mid-valley. They are, Joe Rogers of Polk County, Arthur Ireland of Yamhill-Wash ington, and, o course, Elmer (The Jug) Deetz Jrom ctacca mas. . . (And maybe Mt., Angel should set up a "milk bar" as its annual entertainment for the legislature?) .

Members, of St. Boniface Catholic Parish (in other (words, practically; everybody in Sublimity will forego family dinners in favor of a full day of festivities at the parish hall. . .

Gillette ' , 'Available' as Dulles Aide WASHINGTON (UP) Lame duck Sen. Guy M. Gillette indica ted Saturday he is available if the Eisenhower administration wants to appoint him assistant secretary of state in charge of United Na tions affairs. ' The 75-year-old Iowa Democrat,? whe was defeated in his bid for reelection to the new Congress wh;ch meets in January, said in an interview: I "Should some such position as that be offered to me, I would, of course, be very much interested in it because of my interest in working for world peace and secu rity." :' r ': . u Gillette1 made the statement when asked about a press report speculating that he or some othe? Democrat might be offered such a post to strengthen bipartisan sup-; port for administration foreign policy. ' He said he had read the report with1 interest, but said no one in the administration has said "any thing Idirectly" to him about that possibility.' Administration officials r-ave in dicated that should a Democrat be asked to take a key State Depart ment post, he would more likely be named a special Democratic ad viser, to Secretary John Foster Dulles than an assistant' secretary of state specializing in some field of foreign relations. Democratic congressional lead; ers have not set up any clamor for formal Democratic representa tion in high State j Department echelons.
