VANDALS SLASH TRAINING PLANE Youthful vandals, who almost nightly commit depredations of one kind or another in Salem, have done extensive damage to an army transfer airplane at the Salem high school grounds, says a police report.

Cannon, 247 South Cot tage, the instructor, said fabric and some interior parts of the plane had been slashed with a knife. The case is added to the list of damage done by vandals who have broken many windows and damaged flower beds, gar dens and other property. Norwegian Technician Seeks Ideas for Canning in Salem By Margaret Mage Industries in countries occupied by Germans during the war suffered great setbacks, but today are making comebacks and looking to the United States for new methods in the fields and in the plants. No: exception to this was the canning industry in Norway, according to Rolf .Aschjem, canning technician for i the Tonsberg Brewery & Can ning company at Tonsberg, Nor way, here this week to com pare American methods of food preservation, including canning and freezing, with those of his company, the largest food pres ervation plant in Norway. The Norwegian, trained for his job as a technician for con trol methods with two and a half years of work at a canning technical school at Bramsch were, Germany, in pre-war days, and connected with the canning industry for seven years, made his first contact wth the canning industry here through Ingvard Martin, treas urer of Hunt Bros. Canning com pany, with whom the Norwe gian counsel arranged for his visit. He visited California plants before coming here. While in Salem he not only stu died the methods of processing in the plants but with Warren Baker visited in the fields, watching the harvesting of crops. Machinery Did It Declaring that "America has much to give the world in ideas," the Norseman gave his stamp of approval to canning in this country, observing that J his plant's methods are very similar. It was in the harvest fields where peas were being prepared for the canneries that he saw the great progress made in this country, with machinery doing most of the work. "That "is why you won the war," he said, and amplified this by ex plaining that "not only was the machinery an aid itself in the victory, but it made possible the release of more men for other tasks. It was not until this year that such harvesting equip ment found its way to the fields of Norway. Previously the work was done by hand." -: Oregon attracted the atten Pre-War Service on Watch Repairing Diamond Setting JEWELRY Manufacturing 443 State St Bet. Liberty and High Streets Store Hours: 9:30 to 5 p.m. at the Masonic temple in Woodburn, Mrs. Richards will be one of the two remaining charter members of the chap ter to be honored. Other 50-year member is Frank W. Settlemier, who has served as senior past patron of Evergreen and is also a past grand master of the Masonic grand lodge of Oregon. Under the age limit of 18 when she became a member of the Order, Mrs. Joseph W. Ri chards was then the wife of Captain O. D. Henderson, a prominent Mason. When the chapter was formed in 1896, no one questioned her age because she was a married woman. It was not until after she became a member that the discovery of her age was made. Many Posts Held Mrs. Richards was first Es ther of the chapter, later be coming associate matron and at the age of 21, matron, serving as the youngest matron in the history of the chapter. Serving as past president of the Fast Ma trons club is only one of her U.S. Not Biting For Pacific Island Control Washington, June 21 (U.R) Australian Foreign Minister Her bert V. Evatt is still trying to get the United States to agree to an overall, regional defense arrangement for postwar use of Pacific bases. The- United States, in the words of one official, "isn't biting," yet. It wants to work out a series of bilateral ar rangements to obtain postwar rights on certain Pacific islands where it built naval and air bases during the war. Key to the discussions with the Australians is the base on the island of Manus in the Ad miralty islands north of New Guinea. Except for several small islands south of the equa tor over which Britain and the U. S. dispute sovereignty, tion of the technician because "its climate in the spring and summer months is similar to my native country and many of the same crops are raised. Norway is famous for its strawberries I and they are the best in the world none others being as tas ty." His plant freezes berries for use in hotels, he said. "Very few of them are ever found in the stores while fresh, for the farmers sell them only to their friends.." Also preserved by the Tons berg plant are all kinds of veg etables, including peas, beans, spinach, graimkaal (a green similar to cabbage), pears, ap ples, plums and all kinds of berries. Cauliflower is frozen as are some of the berries. "The five years of war were losj time for the Norwegians. It was hard for individuals as well as for industries with young people unable to go to school and university students sent to concentration camps in Germany, where some were forced to work for the Ger mans." Union Labor Plan Differs Queried about workers' un ions in Norway, the cannery technician said: "The unions are so organized that the workers know the problems and projects of the plant as well as the employer. Under their set-up, which has come into being since the war, in each plant a council pro tector meets weekly to discuss the business and problems con fronting both the employer and employees. Comprising this group are two workers from the production end of the plant, two office workers, the president and his assistant.

Beginning her work as secre tary in 1901, Mrs. Richards ex cept for a total of 12 years, has held the post until the present. Once, in 1921, thinking that it was time for a change, she re fused the secretaryship.. But at the end of the year, she was again in charge of the books, and so she has been uninterrup tedly until the present. And there is no indication that the chapter will release her from her duties. Daughter- of the late James Gibson, pioneer who came by ox train to Washington county In 1847, Mrs. Richards was born near Hillsboro June 20, 1878. She has lived in Woodburn since 1898, but for three years in Monmouth. Teaching music and being a law office secretary were among her early vocations. She served four years on the Woodburn draft board. For the past 20 years, she has been agent and reporter for the Capital Jour nal in Woodburn and vicinity. For 11 of those years, she drove an 80 mile paper delivery route which her husband now hand les. They have two children - -a son, Norman K., and a daugh ter, Mrs. Rose Magnuson, both of Woodburn - - as well as four grandchildren. And with all of her other duties, Mrs. Richards has found time to cultivate a good game of golf. Yet on Plan Manus is the only base on an allied island which the joint chiefs of state have recommen ded for inclusion in the U. S. defense plans. Evatt had a long discussion on this subject yesterday with President Truman, Acting Sec retary of State Dean Acheson and other officials of the state department. Both he and the president declined to comment. The president said Evatt did most of the talking and that no understandings were reached. The United States has not yet determined its policy over the Japanese mandated islands which were captured and are now held by the United States. There appears to be no ques tion and no opposition to U. S. control of them in the fu ture. Russians Emphasize Standard of Living Portland, June 21 The goal emphasized in all Russian literature is not world conquest, but a standard of living equal to or better than that of the United States, the Northwest Institute of International Rela ions was told. Bert G. Mitchell of Washing ton Technical Institute, ,w h o spent six years in Russia as a YMCA organizer, said fear rath er than aggression is behind Russia's actions. That nation feels the Anglo-Saxon countries are "ganging up" on her, he declared.

Plant owners also have an organization with central headquarters." Norwegians who have come to America have created the im pression that folk dances are the dances of Norway, whereas Mr. Aschjem, who has seen only the modern dances in his native land was more than a little em barrassed when asked to partici pate in his country's folk danc es here, having never done so before.
