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.
Bradley, local Insurance man. Brad
ley has been experimenting with
reflecting telescopes for more than
five years and has designed and
built five of them, three being for his
own use. 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.
Bradl eyhopes to make a study of
the details of the surface of the moon

machine. He Is building an observa
tory with a 20 foot revolving dome
to house the new telescope at his

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.

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

dren as well as to adults.
The paper assured children that
If their parents turned them out of
their homes for disobedience, they
would be protected by the Young
Communist league. It Implied that
parents who turned children out
would be prosecuted.

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.

If I Smart
Page and Skiff
Want Deeper
Drainage Ditch
U. S. 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.
