gates who plan to attend and all
homes in the community are being
solicited and everyone fs asked to
take care of as many of the young
people as they can. Response over

convention.
This will be the first time the
state sessions have ever been held
in this part of the state, which is
the former-home of Its interna tion
'al president, Dr. Dan Poling. Dr.
Poling was born In Portland, Oregon,
and as a young man attended

Christian Endeavor societies ev
erywhere will observe this year as
the 59th anniversary of the organi-
' zation of the First Christian En
' deavor society, which was organized
In the Congregational church in
Portland, Maine, by the pastor,
" Francis E. Clark, on February 2,
1881. The first Oregon society was
organized in Forest Grove In 1884,
: only three years after the organiza-
tion of the first society. In 1886, an
.' other society was organized In Cor
, vallis under the leadership of Rev.
' George Lee, who is still an active
1 pastor in Portland.:
The first state convention was
; held In Oregon City in 1889, after
a few more societies had come Into
existence, and conventions have
. been held regularly since that time.
Only once during this time has
: Oregon been host to the Interna
', tlonal convention of Christian En
. deavors, that being in 1925 In
.Portland. At that time, Dr. Pol
; lng was made president of the
' society, replacing Dr. Francis E.
. Clark.
The convention will be held at
the old Polk county fairgrounds
' and the buildings are being put Into
shape for the event. The local com
mittee on arrangements is headed
by Bruce Spaulding, general chair
man, and Rev. O. D. Harris, exe
cutive secretary.

soms left to remind one of the four acres in bloom the past
month, Mr. and Mrs. Harlan Pearsall of this community are
looking forward to trie secona nar-i-
vest, the ripened bulbs. While bulb
raising on a small scale has been
carried on here for sometime by
Walt Welnert, with sale of buds a
sideline, the Pearsalls are rapidly
Increasing the sales In both lines.
For the past four years they have
been shipping thousands of buds,
last year's total of 50,000 being
topped this season by 20,000 or
more.
During the rush season of bud
picking, a crew of three or four Is
employed. The buds are picked
while still green and immersed in
water for three hours. After re
moval from the water, they are
placed under a drying machine, to
dry the stems and avoid possible
mold loss while en route. They
are then packed In bunches of
thirteen and placed In large paste
board containers. A holder In the

REQUEST NUMBERS A SPECIALTY
center of the box keeps them In a
fixed position. Room Is left on
either end for the buds to expand
as they bloom out In 72 hours, the
time it takes them to reach their
destination, Chicago, via San Fran
cisco. All the buds are shipped to
San Francisco with about half of
the total relayed on to Chicago.
While the Pearsalls raise a varie
ty of bulbs, three of the four acres
are one variety, the King Alfred,
which Is the only variety used for
bud sales. They are used exclusive
ly because they stand well under
the shipment and arrive in perfect
condition. The sale total mention
ed does not Include the thousands
of blooms sold in Salem and else
where, when the buds advance too
rapidly to be shipped.
All this sounds like easy money
for the growers, and there Is also the
sale of ripened bulbs to local deal
ers and private parties. However,
bulbs cannot be grown successful
ly for more than two years on the
same ground. Constant rotation
must be observed and every three
years the bulbs must be treated to
a boiling bath In formaldehyde
for three hours In order to keep
them free from disease. The
ground must be kept In excellent
condition by cultivation and other
methods.
The Pearsalls raise a variety of
small fruits, gooseberries, currants,
etc., and have an acreage of fil
berts, walnuts, prunes, pears and
other fruits.

Safety Council
Discusses Walks
And Pavement
Silverton Dr. A. L. V. Smith, past
president, was in charge of the
Thursday evening meeting of the
safety council at the city hall in the
absence of Norman Naegeli. Les
ter Rue served as secretary. .
Lester Standard reported the rock
bed and alignment of the sidewalk
project over East Hill underway.
This will eliminate the necessity of
pedestrians walking on the narrow
pavement, where serious and fatal
accidents have occurred in the past
months, when the sidewalk is com
pleted.
The churches, Immanuel, Trinity
and Methodist, were said to not
have placed signs for one side of
the street parking only during Sun
day and week evening services.
The officials will again be reminded
that this has been legally ordered.
Al Wieckert brought up the sub
ject that has been considered for
several years, that of slippery cor
ners on McClaine street during wet
weather. He urged the council to
use their influence to have the sur
face roughed. Just off McClaine on
James. avenue Is "pot hole" for a
half block. Efforts will be made to
have the gravel road scarified and
rolled.
A resolution was formulated and
passed to be presented the city
council, favoring wide yellow safety
lines for pedestrian crossing of the
street in the vicinity of the South
ern Pacific depot. Sidewalks alter
nate from either side of the high
way at this point and when any af
fair Is held at the new senior high
school In the evening, or when the
students are on their way to and
return from school, this place has
long been felt to be a dangerous
zone. Better lighting was also ask
ed at this corner.
A member of the council report
ed the unnecessary speeding of cars
on Mill street approaching Oak
street and suggested state police aid
in correcting this as the local police
have no car service and are help
less in a case of speeding.
Cards will .announce the next
meeting to all organizations. . A
speaker from the office of the sec
retary of state, Earl Snell, will be
present at the meeting the second
Thursday in May.
