The Salem park board has
completed the planting of a
number of boxwood shrubs in
Willson park. The boxwood re
places the hydrangea which had
apparently outgrown its useful
ness since it had failed to bloom
in recent years. The new plant
ings are around the azalea and
rhododendron beds located be
tween the Breyman fountain on
Cottage street and the Wait Me
morial fountain. William Brown,
pioneer resident of Salem, at
his death left a sum of money
for park improvement purposes.
A portion of this fund was used
to plant the boxwood.

New Courthouse
(Continued from page 1)
ute providing for erection of
new courthouse buildings. He
said that the statute offers safe
guards to the taxpayer that be
fore the county court can levy
funds, it must enter an order
in the journal, then call a pub
lic hearing and that the call
must be at least 70 days before
making the levy and the hear
ing at least 60 days before. Be
tween the call and the hearing
there must be publication of in
tention of what the court is
to do, that the publication must
set up the proposed site for the
building, it must set up the ap
proximate cost and method of
raising the money, as well as the
date of the hearing.
At the hearing it is possible
for remonstrators to appear
with petitions which if suffi
ciently signed may throw the
latter over into an election.
Tomlinson said that the county
cannot go into debt for court
house purpose in excess of $5000
without a vote of the people.
Judge Murphy said that the
court did not set any definite
date for start of courthouse con
struction in the resolution as it
has no idea of the definite date
as to conclusion of the war and
it assumes this will be a post
war project. The money from
the levies will accumulate, it
was pointed out, so that at any
time if the people wish to ac
celerate the building by a bond
issue or otherwise there will be
that much less money to secur
at the time of such occurence.
Murphy safd that to get within
the 6 percent limitation will re
quire some close scraping and
managing but it was pointed out,
however, that 1944 will be the
year for closest scraping. The
county will have a. $721,000
base under the 6 percent limita
tion amendment and taking the
full 6 percent will allow $764,
000 in 1945 and it may go on
progressively greater so after
1944 it was thought there would
be no difficulty in meeting the
$75,000 levy every year and
still have plenty of funds to
operate the regular govern
mental agencies.
Ray Glatt, budget committee
member, said he had sounded a
number of people on the court
house question and the senti
ment among those he had talked
to was they wished as quickly
a way as possible to secure a
new building. Also it is expect
ed a group will meet with the
county court some time next
week to discuss plans for an
earlier construction of the
building. It was pointed out
that the resolution as enacted
would fit into any plan for an
earlier erection of the building,
and that it was sufficiently
elastic to meet every eventu
ality, as expressed by Commit
tee Member Leo Childs.

Spokane, Jan, 21 W) A bold
hold-up man who came back to
the scene of a previous success
ful haul walked into the
Sprague avenue branch of the
old National Bank yesterday
and made off with cash figured
at $8,070 by Manager Frank M.

Graff prevented the bandit

after recognizing the visitor as
the same one who robbed the

the man coming in the door and
raced for the back room two
jumps ahead of him. The bandit
tried the door and, finding it
locked, turned back to a teller

Tompkins Tells
Lions of Britain
The English are deeply grate
ful for the assistance rendered
them by citizens of this country
and they are looking toward the
United Slates to provide leader
ship in establishing a lasting
peace, said Morton Tompkins,
president of the stale grange,
who spent three months in Great
Britain studying agriculture of
that country speaking at a Lion's
club luncheon Thursday noon.
The expressions of gratitude
were so profuse at limes that it
became almost embarrassing to
the American visitors, Tomp
kins added.
Shortly after the war opened
Ihe British government realized
that it was face to face Willi a
neglected agriculture and set
about immediately to remedy
the situation, the speaker as
serted. As a result land which
had not seen the plow in centur
ies was planted to crops which,
in many instances, were highly
satisfactory. This expanded pro
gram was brought about largely
because of the American trac
tors provided the farmers. In
some instances where the farm
ers failed to cooperate with the
over-all plan they were sent in
to the armed forces or compelled
to work in defense plants.
As a means of overcoming the
labor shortage a "land army" of
some 80,000 women was recruit
ed from the cities.
Tompkins spoke of England as
"one huge fortress" with Ihe in
habitants determined to protect
it to the limit.

abeth, No Turning Back
Says Patterson
Chicago, Jan. 21 U.R Robert
P. Patterson, undersecretary of
war, said today that American
industry could not hope to re
turn to pre-war methods, and
must prepare to keep stcp-with
world progress.
"I have no patience with those
who are willing to fight for the
preservation of their preferred
way of living, and then show no
willingness at all to prevent that
way of living from rotting away
afterwards," Patterson told an
nual United States conference
of mayors.
Patterson said that reconver
sion to the pre-war production
pattern was basically impossi
ble, and "if by some magic we
could exactly recreate those
conditions, they would result in
a 50 percent reduction in the na
tional income, extensive unem
ployment and reduced produc
tion capacity.
"Either we will evolve some
thing better, or we will be af
flicted with something far
worse. There is no turning
back," he said,
Patterson warned that it
would take as long to get indus
try back into peace time produc
tion as It did to achieve top war
time output and said the govern
ment should prepare to prevent
an economic collapse during
that period. The possibility of
a "year or more between the
end of the war in Europe and In
Asia will take up some of the
shock of stopping war produc
tion, he said.

flight was made in 1911 by Cal

Russia on Poles
Washington, Jan. 21 P Sec
retary of State Hull said today
the Soviet government has not
yet accepted this country's offer
to act in a liaison capacity look
ing to a resumption of diploma
tic relations between Poland
and Russia.
Hull made that reply when
he was asked at his press con
ference whether Moscow had
responded to Ihe offire. He ad
ded that he was keeping in
close touch wilh "Ambassador
W. Avercll Harriman on the
matter. '
Hull's carefully-worded ans
wer left open the question whe
ther any response might have
come in and also left without
any indicated answer the ques

the offer may be accepted.
Hull announced a week ago
tiiat Ihe American government
had at the suggestion of the Po
lish government offered to use
its good offices in bringing about
a resumption of diplomatic re
lations between the Polish and
Soviet governments.
The offer did not extend in
any sense to mediation on the
question of territorial claims.

insisted on wearing his monocle
aboard ship the admiralty had
to write a new section to the

as il docs not interfere with his
efficient discharge of duties,
