FAIL TO BACK UP
LOCAL REALTORS
That a main reason why Salem
does not progress more rapidly is
that lotfal business men in the
past have not backed up local
realtors, was the contention ad
vanced at this noon's'-meeting of
the Marion-Polk County Realtors
association at the Marion hotel.
"Things here, for instance, are
very different from conditions in
California, ' said Louis Bechtel,
one member of the association..
Down there every storekeeper
directs you to a real estate man,
knowing that if you buy a home
there and stay, it will eventually
mean business for him."
He related one incident of a
local banker who, Bechtel said,
advised one party who intended
to purchase an apartment here to
wait a year before investing."
"After about 10 days of wait
ing she left for Los Angeles,"
said Bechtel, "and I've never seen
her since, I don't think the bank
er she went to down there advis
ed her to wait a year."
A report was made of the work
of the Multiple Listing Bureau at
this noon s meeting.
The birth of a girl to Mr. and
Mrs. Joseph Michael Brennen of
Salem, was recorded to the office
of the city health officer this morn
ing. The child has been given the
name Marcelyn Jean. Tho birth
took place on December 16. Mr.

POOR DUMPED
ON MARION BY
OTHER COUNTIES
Members of the Marlon county
court are Incensed at the action
of the Tillamook -county court In
railroading Into this county Mrs.
Mary Barnett and her five chil
dren, wife and children of Floyd
Barnett, Tlllamooli county boot
legger who has recently arrived
at the prison to serve a one year
sentence.
According to the Information re
ceived the Tillamook county court
told the mother If she remained
in that county her children would
be taken from her and placed In
public homes. The mother at that
left the county, coining here about
two weeks ago to the home fo her
parents In Woodburn. Her parents
are unable to take on the extra
load of the mother and five chil
dren, and consequently she appear
ed before the county court today
seeking help. Tho court granted
her $10 to keep her in food until
Christinas and the Elks also agreed
to take nn interest in tho case. The
court will see that the family Is
cared for but is outspoken in Us
criticism of tho Tillamook court
in seemingly deliberately taking
such action as would drive the
family out of the county where It
should be cared for into tho coun
ty where the man has been sent
to prison. '
"Marlon county Is often made
the goat . In propositions of this
kind," stated County Judge Hunt.
"Only recently a man was sent to
Woodburn. His home was In
was In Linn county and his family
there. The Linn county court told
the family they must move to Mar
ion county as they belonged In tho
county where the husband and fath
er was In jail.
"We are willing, able nnd do
lake care of our own poor. Other
counties should do the same."
Xmas Plans Spread Out
Free For AH Children
(Continued from Page One)
mas tree will bo gifts for all of
the little boys and girls whom
Santa Claus might otherwise for
get, and who will have no trees
at home. W. I. Needham, exalted
ruler of the Elks, will preside
over the festivities and other
members of the lodge will assist
during the evening.
Today the principal worry of
tho committee in charge of the
Christmas Cheer movement is the
slow response of the public to its
oppoals for funds, which are be
coming more urgently needed as
the time grows shorter. Last year,
with more than $500 contributed
by the public, tho funds ran short
before all of the children had
been provided for and the Elks
mado up tho deficit out ot tu
welfare fund. Investigation this
year reveals that the demands up
on the committee will be fully
as bfavy, if not heavier than last.
Among the volunteers to aid in
tho movement who have been
heard from since yesterday is a
group of girls In tho state indus
trial accident commission ontce,
who have been asked to be allow
ed to play Santa Claus to some
fatherless family of children.

Defending his action B ram well
today showed that the unidenti
fied bank had been under Biir
veillanco ot his department for
four years. Its precurious condi
tion was attributed mainly to tho
fact that it holds Irrigation and lo
cal improvements bonds of the
state of Washington, which of
late have been under fire. Bram

bonds or what the purpose of the
inquiry was. Should the uniden
