New Fire Truck
For Albany
Albany According to word
received by City Recorder C. R.
Ashton from the war production
board, signed by J. A. Krug,
deputy director general for pri
orities control, Albany has been
denied a new fire truck. Krug's
answer came after the Albany
city council and mayor asked
for permission to purchase a new
fire truck.
Krug's letter stated: "Un
questionably you could use ad
ditional fire apparatus to ad
vantage. However, the informa
tion presented in your letter in
dicates that you have far more
fire protection equipment in re
spect to the general character
and size of your city than many
municipalities throughout the
United States. Therefore it is
deemed advisable to recommend
a rating on th.i equipment you
propose to purchase at this time.
"We are attempting to reserve
ratings to industrial areas where
there is a definite shortage of
equipment, until such time
there is an improvement in the
available supply of apparatus

Lebanon Will
Extend Street
Lebanon The city council
this week entered into a contract
with the Oregon Electric rail
road company for a right-of-way
across the railroad property for
an extension of South Williams
street to join with Milton. The
proposed route would be used as
a trucking lane, using Milton,
Williams and Wheeler streets,
through the city.
In the agreement Williams
street would be moved 20 feet
west, co that the railroad and
city would not be using the same
road base. As compensation the
railroad would pay $1,500 to re
imburse the city for additional
lands to be acquired for the
street, and the cost, not to ex
ceed $450, of moving buildings
and making new connections for
lights, water and other facilities.
In exchange the railroad was
granted by franchise the exclu
sive right to use the easterly 40
feet of Williams street between
Elmore and the present south
erly terminus of Williams street
as right-of-way for 25 years. '
An ordinance was passed by
the city council Tuesday night
approving the contract. The
city will pay the cost of the new
street construction, but the state
highway department has agreed
to maintain Milton street from
U. S. highway 20 to Williams,
Williams to Wheeler street, and
Wheeler to the highway. '

Jefferson Every family in
Jefferson and surrounding dis
tricts is urged to begin at once
to gather up scrap for the big
salvage day to be held here on
Saturday, September. 26.
Farmers who have been de
layed in gathering up their scrap
because of the busy harvest sea
son, are urged to load their
trucks with junk found around
the farm, bring it to Jefferson
on Saturday and receive cash for
it. It is urged that only good
practical items be brought- in.
Included in this list is solid pie
ces of iron or steel, ruber, zinc,
brass, copper, lead, old burlap
and rags. Such items as old wa
ter boilers, shell metal and tin
cans and other articles that are
bulky with little weight, are not
needed at this lime as there are
no facilities to compress them
into flat blocks for shipment.
The junk rally will start Fri
day evening with a show at the
Jefferson theater with admission
being a piece of junk. Ten
pounds or more is the amount
suggested needed.
The members of the casualty
station are planning to serve re

Chaplain Advise
Church Group
Albany Churches, of Albany
should not only extend them
selves to make as pleasant as
possible the lives of Camp Adair
soldiers who may visit here, but
they should not discriminate no
ticeably, between the whites and
the negroes, Chaplain C. . O.
Churchill from the cantonmeiQ
told delegates to the annual WiP
lamette Presbytery at the close
of the two-day conference, here
last week. ,
Chaplain Churchill urged
that, while it might not be pos
sible for local people to enter
tain a large proportion of the
Camp Adair soldiers on leave in
their respective homes, dinners
and parties in the churches will
answer well the purpose he pre
sented. The visiting -chaplain said
that the soldiers here and else
where are a cross-section of the
entire United States, including
men who are good, bad and in
different. " .
"They are just boys like Al
bany is 'sending into the army,'
Chaplain Churchill said.
The chaplain spoke similarly
of the negroes, whose plight, bm
said, is less favorable than thW
of the whites because they are
naturally restricted in their so
cial activities through absence
of others of their race among ci
vilians of this area.
"But you must remember,"
Chaplain Churchill said, "they
are not here of their own ac
cord, but because their govern
ment sent them here."
