were in play. A juke box fur
nished music for dancing. From
a coke bar high school girls
dispensed drinks and delicacies.
The center has been complet
ed in less than two months of
intensive work, the result of
careful planning. Selection of
the Hyde and Long location was
made January 19 by the youth
recreation committee, composed
of PTA members and high
gchool students. To adapt the
rooms to the needs of the young
people, a remodeling program
was launched, with students
delegated to do much of the
work. Walls and ceilings were
kalsomined; woodwork painted;
floors sanded, refinished and
waxed; lighting fixtures, heat
ing and plumbing were install
ed; a coke bar, tables, benches,
booths and a band stand were
constructed. The walls feature
huge oil paintings, the work
of a student artist.
According to the schedule an
nounced, the center will be
open for high school students
Tuesday, Friday and Saturday
nights. Mrs. Genevieve BeHar
rell, member of the high school
faculty, will be supervisor in
charge. Assisting the refresh
ment committee each night will
be representatives from each
high school class. Wednesday
evenings will be reserved for
junior high school students,
with members of the PTA sup
ervising. Students under high
school age may attend the cen
ter with members of the older
group on any open house night,

McBurncy, 10, of 521 West
Sherman street, Lebanon,, was
instantly killed when thrown
from his motorcycle in an ac
cident occurring near the Wiley
creek bridge between Sweet
Home and Foster Friday eve
ning. After being dragged by the
cycle, he was hurled more than
50 feet over an embankment
into the front yard of Lowell

It is believed that the youth,
employed by Merton Woods,
logging contractor near Foster,
caught his foot in the wheel.
His right ankle was broken and
his light shoes and one sock
were pulled off. His body was
badly bruised and cut, and
blood stains along the side of
the road indicated that he had
been dragged by the motorcycle
before it threw him. The cycle
stayed on the road.
A short time earlier McBur
ney was said to have been tak
ing some children for a ride on
his motorcycle at the Woods
home, and had just left, going
towards Sweet Home. One of
the Woods boys saw the acci
dent at a considerable distance
and summoned help.
The Bowser family was eat
ing the evening meal at the
time and heard the crash.
Their little girl went to the door
but saw nothing until the
crowd appeared a short time
later.
McBurncy was born Septem
ber 7, 1924, at Mill City, and
had been living in Lebanon with
his parents about a year. He
is survived by his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Fred McBurney; three
brothers, Albert of Dallas, Fred
and Ray of Oakland, Calif.; two
sisters, Mrs. Alma Chastine and
Lois McBurncy, both of Leb
anon.
Services will be announced
from the Harry C. Howe fun
eral home pending word from
