T. Mackenzie, vocation director of the Balem schools. This device has been constructed by member of the vocational ma chine shop classes at the high school for its owner and designer, B. L.

About two years ago he attempted an eight Inch reflector and called upon the high school machine shop to help make a ma chine to aid In grinding it. During the past year machine shop students, under C. A. Ouderian and Floyd Sicgmund, instructors, have been designing and constructing a mounting for the new 12 '4 inch re flector which Is to reach the final assembly stage this week. Later the boys will make up a mount for their own eight Inch telescope, the re flector for which Bradley has ground and presented to the school shop. These reflectors must be finished accurately to within one millionth of an Inch of perfect. The 12 Vj model to be displayed at the voca tional exposition Friday Is mounted In a steel tube 14 Inches in diam eter and 13 feet long and Is capable of making visible the rings of Saturn, the satellites of Jupiter and brings Into view stars which are 3,005,425 times less bright than the brightest visible to the naked eye.

Labor Fight to Supreme Court Coqutlle, April 20 0P The court fight between APL and CIO lumber and sawmill unions of Coos Bay to determine ownership of a $5000 fund, set up by the Coos Bay AFL local before the CIO rift was taken to the Oregon supreme court to day. The CIO. losers In a case heard last December by Judge J. T. Brand, in the Coos county circuit court, served notice of appeal. Judge Brand's opinion was widely her alded as one of the first in the nation on the subject of ownership of union property. In the case, the current AFL local contended It was the original AFL local and that its Identity had not been changed by the CIO secession. The CIO contended It was the ori ginal local and that a vote had been taken at a regular meeting of the old AFL local to change af filiation to the International Wood workers of America, CIO affiliate. Judge Brand held the current AFL local is the same one in effect before the split, that the same char ter applies and is In effect, and that property of the old local belongs to the AFL. The $5000 fund, set up before the split as a special relief fund, was taken over by the CIO and is im pounded In a Marshfield bank. The AFL filed suit to recover. JZZ V - Wesf 7 DEALER SEE ANY Pirate Gold Well Done by Lions Troupe More than 100 amateur thesplans gave a professional touch to "Pirate Gold,' a Lions club sponsored pro duction at the senior high school auditorium last night. The more than 1000 persons who witnessed the first performance were spread ing the word and as a result a ca pacity crowd was expected tonight for the final showing. Arrange ments were being made today to place chairs In the balcony in an effort to eliminate the hanging of the SRO sign. Like all amateur productions "Pi rate Gold" had a few rough spots, but these were more than offset by the sparkling performances of oth ers. Colorful costumes and bright scenery gave a pleasing aspect to the production, especially the scene on board the good ship "Jolly Rog er" where a group of black faced end men, rich male voices and a group of well proportioned young women "stowaways" put on a show reminiscent of the days when min strel shows were a feature of Amer ican entertainment. The work of Warren Randle in his Imitation of a dog fight was particularly out standing. Captain "Hike1 Ohling handled the part of the interlocutor with ease. Solo numbers were well handled as were those of the entire "crew." The fore part of the performance, given over to a number of "gems" was well received by the audience, especially the dance unique of Lu cille Shannon, whose acrobatic ma neuvers and balancing were of a high order of perfection. As a whole the performance Is a credit to the director and to the ability of the amateurs who work ed day and night over a period of two weeks to make it possible. Holders of unreserved seat tickets were being urged to show up early for tonight's performance. The cur tain goes up promptly at 8:15. To avoid a parking Jam on "D" street. It was suggested that pa trons of the show tonight utilire the parking space to the rear of the high school. Entrance to this area can be gained from "D" street. Soviet Children Told to Disobey Moscow. April 20 (JP Soviet chil dren were authoritatively advised today to disobey parents who at tempt to send them to church next Saturday with the traditional East er cake and cheese for priestly blessing. The orthodox Russian Easter falls on April 24. Believers customarily send a cake called "kalich" and a cream cheese with raisins called "paskha" to church to be sprinkled' with holy water the Saturday before Easter. A boy wrote to the official news paper of the Young Communist league asking what to do If his parents asked him to take the dain ties to church. The newspaper answered that such an order would free the child of obligation to obey his parents hrsiie (t would violnt- the contl-' jyr. iju - II: ;vwfTT 4 .

Cops Blossom In New Caps White-topped hills in the valley are bursting forth in all their glory and not to be outdone, the Salem police department is following suit. The post-Easter headgear made its, appearance on the streets today with the caps of two types solid and perforated to permit the sum mer breezes to cool the cranium to make up for hot pavement under pedal extremities. Right now the perforated has some drawbacks, as Officer Atlee Wintersteen learned when he don ned his new chapeau and made his first morning tour. The cool breeze whistled beneath the top of his cap and not only cooled, but, he admit ted, chilled the top of his head which Is as shiny as the badge of office that adorns his cap.

Page and Dr. Mark Skiff who own property In the Labi&h section today appeared before tht county court to discuss the matter of deepening the big main ditch of the Lablsh drainage project and the lateral ditch from the Chemawa school to where It empties into the main ditch. They told the court that the ditch hadn't been cleaned out for the half century which It has been in existence and has filled In to a point where it doesn't carry the water as it should and especially under the high water of the last winter has caused a bad condition on the adjacent highly valuable beaverdam farms of the area. The primary purpose for the visit was to ascertain whether it would be feasible for the county to sponsor a WPA project for the ditch deep ening. The delegation told the court that one reason for the higher water was the ditching of the Chemawa road which they said was done in such a way that It turned onto the farm lands the water from the county roads which Increased the water flow very materially. County Engineer Hubbs was In structed by the court to view the , entire project and report back with his recommendations. The delegation said that about 40 years ago or so there was a drainage district In the section but as far as they knew this was allowed to lapse so that work done now must be done at the expense of the pro perty owners or possibly with WPA assistance. The Indian school su- f perlntendent who is Interested In the proposal because of the Chemawa drainage ditch, they said, had sug gested they take the matter up with the county court as to sponsoring a WPA project Inasmuch as the chan ge in ditches on the county roads had resulted in a diversion of the water flow. It was thought, however, that tha work might be done more cheaply under contract with a digger and also the feasibility of hand labor in the ditch was discussed. What is proposed is to lower the bottom of the ditch about two feet. In addition it Is proposed to slant the sides of the ditch so they won't cave in. With the lowering it would probably be necessary to lower a big culvert on the road into Che mawa and also to either provide a new bridge or a culvert on another county road. At this point, stated the delegation, the road crews in grading the road have pulled the gravel off Into the ditch and built the bottom up at this point two or three feet. An Iron pipe culvert it ft was thought would obviate this in the future. The work proposed Is from the Chemawa school to the main ditch for deepening the lateral ditch from the school. And also a three mile stretch in the main ditch from the Pacific highway to a point on the north river road where the ditch crosses the road. The ditch runs past the McNary farm and empties Into Cleartnke. re the ri,i, niMl 1"P',, ,""nin col, ' " -wl n . arm .1.1. ' " 'K-'tv'"a"r-N.rt I" nt, "". to Go Modem uitb Cm.
