In a room designed as the

Rather than build for the pres

population more than double that

SPRINGFIELD Along Spring
field's Main St. they have the
election year Jitters: everybody's
talking about who is going to run
for the three council seats and the
mayor's gavel, but only one man
has filed.
The sole exception, real estate
man Arthur McChesney, has filed
tor the council seat from Ward
Five to be vacated by Carl Lewis
this year.
Council Vacancies
Other council vacancies Dec,
31 will be those of Ward Three's
Jack Larsen and Ward Six's Gil
Shoush, All three councilmen have
announced they have no Intention
of running again.
ine Iield for the ton city job
is wide open; Mayor Claude Ger-
Jach has expressed himself Quite
plainly several times as being out
of the race.
Since there Is no primary con
test Involved in a non-partisan
ballot, candidates only need de
clare themselves available a little
over two months prior to general
elections.
Little Time
The result, local soothsayers say,
is a hotter and shorter race with
little time for debate on anything
Dut concrete public issues.

A building permit for the con
struction of the new First Church
of Christ, Scientist was issued Fri
day to Julius Johnson, Portland
contractor
The $156,000 permit does not
represent the full value of the
building to be erected at 1300
Pearl St. inasmuch the church in
tends to provide its own seating
facilities and carpets, and electri
cal and mechanical costs are not
covered by the permit.
Burns, Bear and McNeil, Port
land architects who designed the
new church and who handled let
ting of the contracts on competi
tive bids, have reported that the
actual worth of the completed
edifice will be over $196,000.
Postoffice Gets
Stamp Vendor
An automatic stamp-vending
machine to dispense stamps at
face value has been placed in op
eration in the lobby of Eugene
postoffice.
Acting Postmaster Ethan New
man said the new machine would
spare patrons the delay of stand
ing in line during rush hours. In
addition, it will make possible the
purchase of stamps on Sundays
and holidays and at other hours
when the stamp window is not
open.
The machine will issue five one-
cent stamps for a nickel, two five-
cent air mail stamps for a dime.
and five three-cent stamps for a
nickel and a dime-
The machine was developed for
the postoffice department by a
New York manufacturer of mall
room machines and office machin
ery. Other machines have ap
peared in larger cities throughout
the country, but Newman said
this is the first one in operation
In the upper Willamette Valley.

avowed candidate, has expressed
himself little publicly on Spring
field matters yet. He is considered
to be waiting some Identification
of his opposition in the Ward.
How To Run
Any registered voter, who can
commandeer 23 signatures of reg
istered voters In hit ward, can
run for the council vacancy; any
registered voter who can gather
50 signatures in the city at large
can join the line for mayor. Pet
itions may be obtained from the
city recorder and the deadline is
Sept. 1.
Tightest issues ahead are likely
to be the traditional ones.
Water; the lack of pressure in
pipe lines, the poor service in
summer months, and alleged in
action about it will "undoubtedly
provide" meat for many a rostrum
gabfest.
Sanitary Sewers: long time poll- ;
tical football in Springfield, the
efforts to evolve plans for 100 per ;
cent sewer service with low cost,
will be "on the top" of debate
agendas.
Storm sewers: another money
problem; the man with the pana-,
cea here may well walk away
with any of the policy making jobs
he wants, prophets say. Too many
people walked through too much
water in this year's floods to allow
this question to go unmentioned.
Streets: What to do about the
city streets is a question for a fin
ancier find one, c h a 1 1 e n g e
Springfield officials.
Sidewalks: what are they and
let's have them, say Springfield
residenta, but "cheaply" they cau
tion would-be officials.
A "possible" top level topic may
stem from the Aug. 23 hearing on
methods of financing the state
required sewage disposal plant;
voters crowded the council cham
bers last Monday night to protest
the raising of assessments on
home owners on sewer lines to
support revenue bonds for the
project.
Lota of Needs
However, even the most hot
blooded of the landlords acknow
ledged in leaving that possibly
Springfield needed so much,
"every avenue of financing open
under state law should be used."
As City Recorder Kenneth Giles
said this week, "Come and get
the petitions; we have them in the
city hall," if you want these problems.

11. It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with
Him, we shall also live with Him;
12. If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him; if we
deny Him, He also will deny us;
13. If we believe not, yet He abideth faithful; he
cannot deny himself.
15. Study to show thyself approved unto God, a
workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly
dividing the word of truth.
