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

' 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"). -

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?) ; '

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). I
If the expected bid for new milki legislation develops
at the approaching Oregon Assembly, dairymen unit have .a
built-in lobby in the Houie . I . 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?) .
' If you'd like to' eat Thanksgiving dinner in pilgrim style,
tyou might consider! going to Sublimity Thursday. . . 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. . . And, while a
nominal price is attached, Father Joseph Scherbring. reports
that the public is welcome, too. . . ThereH be worship services
In the morning, games in the afternoon and a dance at night.

made sausage at 11:30 a. mjand'a sort of mop-up operation
' at 5 in the afternoon. I

Sen. 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. The present assistant
secretary in charge of U.N. affairs
is Daiv Kee, 54. a career diplomat
who was called out of retirement
to take the post only a year ago.
