Dr. Jewell Talks On Lincoln While Abraham Lincoln was an uneducated man Insofar as our pre- sent standard of schooling is con cerned, yet those things which made him one of the greatest men of tills country could be taught to our boys and girls with good advantage to all concerned.

Jewell, dean of educa- tlon of the Oregon system of higher education as he addressed the Sa lem Lions club Thursday noon, weaving a pattern in which he com bined a bit of philosophy, humor and common sense Dean Jewell de clared education was comparative Insofar as its effect upon individual persons are concerned. Knowledge, he added, may be used for the betterment of human- ity, and again it may be utilized to take from others what rightfully Belongs to them, Many men were more brilliant than Abraham Lincoln, yet "he wrote with malice toward none and with charity toward all," the speaker pointed out. "Abraham Lincoln was educated in the 'feelings'; today we call it tne appreciations." Dean Jewell said that knowledge and skills are necessary, "yet if I had to choose between knowledge and skills and those things which God made lovely and those he made to hate, I'd choose the latter. The speaker had on display three or four small books which were duplicates of those used by Lincoln during his brief educational pro gram.

Govern- LOW in price I Grapplers Fail To Find Bodies of Drowned Youths Four grapplers In the WlUamette river had not yet been successful in locating the bodies of Kenneth Case, 20, and his brother, Robert Case, 17, who drowned yesterday af ternoon while cruising on the river in a canoe. The boys were sons of Mr. and Mrs. Irving Case, rural route 6. The boys had left their home early In the day on their bicycles, and with their lunch. They had spoken of going on their bicycles to CorvalUs where Kenneth said he expected to enlist in the army and Robert In the navy. Instead, the boys apparently went to the Haln boat house at the foot of Chemeketa and rented the canoe, leaving their bicycles there, Walter Haln said they left the boat house about 9:30 In the morning, taking their lunch and saying they ex pected to spend most of the day on the river. They were about the Talbot Log ging company's log dump south of the city. Later, in the afternoon, Ivan and Delbert Cutsforth, em ployes of the logging company, saw them In the river and saw their overturned canoe. Ivan Cutsforth got an outboard motor boat and started across the river to their res cue, but ran out of gasoline. He re turned ashore for more fuel and crossed the river, but could find no trace of them. He told poUce that he and his brother Delbert searched the river bank carefully, finding only the canoe and the paddles. They notified the boat house and the po lice. F, D. Vincent also was reported as having seen the boys In the river, but was unable to attempt assis tance because he was towing a raft of logs. The grappling Is being done by th sheriff's office and private indi viduals. The boys were identified by check- ing their bicycle licenses with Mrs. Bessie Armour at police headquar ters.
