County Commissioner Roy
Rice stated Friday that the re
sealing program on county roads
paved this year has been stopped
due to the uncertainty of get
ting oil. To complete the re
scaling program on the 28 miles
laid out would take six cars of
oil, but two have arrived and
the others cannot get here in
side two weeks at the earliest, he
said. This might be too late for
the work so the rest of the roads
will be resealed next summer.
Those which were sealed over
are the Auburn road, Browning
avenue and market roads 90, 91
and 41 in the Pringle and Lib
erty area. The oiling crew will
be turned over onto striping
highways, cleaning ditches and
general maintenance work.

A. Stocker, state rehabilitation
officer for the blind, and Troy
L. McGraw, assistant state vet
terans representative for Ore

ber of veterans and that their
work was proving entirely satis

there are 300 blind who are
ready to go to work and are
capable of handling jobs in a
capable manner.
At the Salem office it was
urged that all disabled folk who
want to find jobs should call and
talk matters over. Employers
were also invited to take a hand
by offering positions.
The employment office now
has on file numerous positions
for veterans who are not handi
capped.
Specialists in
Cancer Needed
By Paul F. Ellis
United Press Science Writer
New York, Sept. 21 (U.Ri
The lack of trained specialists
is one of the serious bottlenecks
in the fight against cancer.
Research is going forward,
but more cancer centers such as
the Memorial hospital and Can
cer Center here, are needed. In
this center, cancer is detected,
treated, studied in the labora
tory, and young doctors trained
to fight the disease.
Experts who have set the
pattern here believe that if si
milar centers could be set up
in other parts of the country
and throughout the world, one
of the biggest obstacles in the
way of solving the mystery of
cancer might be overcome.
This cancer center itself is
pushed for room and an exten
sive program of expansion, in
cluding new buildings, is now
underway but improvement of
this center alone will not solve
the problem.
The need, cancer scientists
agree, is for more and more in
tegrated cancer centers.
The demand for treatment or
examination at Memorial is ter
rific. The supposedly-well per
son going there for prevention
examination must wait several
months for his turn. He knows,
however, that results are ob
tained in this hospital if the
cancer is caught in time; No
such long delays occur in those
cases of known or suspected
cases.
The same results could be ob
tained in all parts of the coun
try if ' similar facilities were
available, the medical men say.
They believe that when more
such centers are operating and
there is a better distribution of
trained specialists that cancer
will be on the run; at least, its
days may be numbered.
Bordeaux Mixture
Time Has Arrived
With peach harvest concluded
except for the occasional late
varieties, growers should apply
8-4-100 Bordeaux mixture now
to all peach trees which have
been picked, but not sprayed
with Bordeaux during the past
few weeks. D. L. Rasmussen
assistant county agent, notes
that many growers have already
followed the recommended
practice of applying Bordeaux
as soon as each peach variety is
picked.
Peach blight, if not control
led, may cause serious damage
to peach trees. It may cause
damage to the fruit, twigs and
leaves during the growing sea
son and blight the buds and
cause cankers on the twigs dur
ing the fall and winter months.
Applying Bordeaux now will af
ford protection against the bud
and twig blight and canker
stages by preventing spread of
the spores by the fall rains.
Motor vehicle deaths increas
ed 18 percent in the United
States in 1945 over 1944.

Chemawans
Turn Burglars
Four pupils at Chemawa In
dian school, ages 8, 13, 13 and 14
respectively, have been identi
fied as the lads who broke into
the home of J. Olthoff at Pra
tum Wednesday night, ransack
ed the house pulling out draw
ers and spreading out jewelry,
but finally leaving with $15 in
cash as the only loot they de
sired. Deputy Sheriffs James
Garvin and George Henderson
who made investigations at the
house finally traced the job to
the four lads. The boys were
picked up by Salem police on
the same night after they had
done the Pratum job, but were
released and returned to the
school, but at the time there
was no reason to connect them
with the Othoff burglary.
In a statement made by the
older lad he said he broke the
glass in the kitchen door at the
home and shoved his younger
brother through into the house.
The small boy then unlatched
a window and the lads made
their entry.
Of the $15 taken $10 has been
returned. The boys went to a
grocery store nearby and bought
some baloney, ice cream and
candy and broke a $5 bill. An
other dollar went for basketball
tickets which Chemawa authori
ties said would be returned.
High School
Pupils Hazed
The customary hazing of
sophomores at Salem senior
high school that breaks otit each
fall shortly after the beginning
of class work, has been plagu
ing school officials as well as
peace officers during the week.
Instances where sophomore
boys have been "taken for a
ride" by upper classmen have
come to the attention of school
authorities as well as to parents
of the youths who have been
victims of these extra curricu
lar activities.
So far Principal Ed Carleton
has been able to identify but
two students now in school who
assumed the role of hazers. The
opinion has been expressed that
downtown influences particu
larly on the part of graduates
of Salem high, have been large
ly responsible for this week's
outbreak.
The hazing runs the usual
course. The hazers gang up on
a sophomore, overpower him
and haul him to a spot in the
country where he is left to shift
for himself. In one instance the
boy's shoes were taken away and
he was forced to walk home
barefooted. In another case
several sophomores were taken
to a bridge where they were
partly disrobed while the haz
ers took turns at wielding a fair
ly substantial paddle.
Plan Changes in
Mill Cify Road
County Commissioner Ed
Rogers, who was above Mill
City Friday examining improve
ment of a county road which is
being undertaken by Frank &
Etzel Lumber company to open
up some large patches of tim
ber north and east of that town,
will recommend to the county
court a change in the right of
way of the road about a mile
north and west of Mill City
where it is wished to switch
the road into another direction
for half a mile or so, construct
a new piece of road and then
hook onto the old road again.
This is the piece of road run
ning through the Allen ranch
and if the change is approved
the old part of the road will
probably be abandoned.
The road north of the Allen
ranch which has fallen Into
disuse is hardly passable on
horseback for part of the way
said the commissioner, but the
lumber company plans to put
this Into shape for truck travel
and in addition extend the
road about due north until it
reaches the Little North Fork
in the vicinity of Elkhorn.
Red Cross Work
In War Praised
Members of the Salem Retail
Credit Bureau listened to a re
port of Red 'Cross work in the
Pacific ocean area during
World War II from Emmett C.
Forsythe at a Friday noon meet
ing in the Nelson building.
Speaking as an individual and
not as a representative of the
Red Cross, Mr. Forsythe had
only praise for Red Cross work
with branches of the armed
forces during World War H.
"Work was mainly a channel
for communications between
the home front and the boys in
the field," according to the
speaker, who recently returned
from Bcpu, Japan. "However,
the biggest tribute must go to
a solid organization of the Red
Cross at home," he added.
Francis Smith, recently re
turned from a credit bureau
conference in Boise, Idaho, gave
a report on the meeting there.
Smith demonstrated a new wire
recording machine that is com
ing into prominent usage along
business lines.

Alfred Schlndler
Candidates for
Wallace's Post
Washington'. Sept. 21 U.R
President Truman is expected
to act speedily in appointing a
successor to Henry A. Wallace
as secretary of commerce.
It will be a recess appoint
ment since congress is not in
session. When congress con
venes in January, Mr. Truman
will submit the formal nomina
tion to the senate for confirma
tion. Undersecretary of Commerce
Alfred Sehindler will head the
commerce department as act
ing secretary until Mr. Truman
announces Wallace's successor.
Sehindler, who hails from St.
Louis, Mo., and is an old ac
quaintance of Mr. Truman, was
among those being widely men
tioned today for elevation to the
cabinet post. His Missouri con
nections, plus the fact that he
was No. 2 man in the depart
ment when Wallace was fired,
contributed largely to this spec
ulation. Sehindler was on the west
coast when Wallace resigned. He
immediately cancelled plans for
some speeches and headed back
to Washington "to follow the
wishes of the president."
Another Washington - bound
figure and another prospect
for the cabinet job was Rob
ert S. Kerr, outgoing governor
of Oklahoma and a frequent
consultant in the high councils
of the democratic party.

Center Street Lights
Flash Too Quickly
Complaints that the recently
installed "wait and walk" traf
fic signals on Center street at
the Commercial, Liberty and
High intersection do not give
a pedestrian sufficient time in
which to cross appeared borne
out by a check of the elapsed
time. From the time the "walk"
signal is flashed on until it
changes to "wait" just ten sec
onds elapse and unless a per
son is a fast stepper and steps
off the curb at the first possible
moment without beating the
light, the pedestrian is several
steps short of the opposite side
of the street by the time the
signal changes. The "wait" sig
nal is on approximately 30 sec
onds. For the most part motor
ists and pedestrians appear to
be complying with the regula
tions and the movement of traf
fic, particularly across Center
is considerably less hazardous

Capital Journal. Salem, Oregon,
County Gets 3 Way Contract i
For Independence Bridge j
The county court was in receipt Friday of copy of a tentativ
three way contract between the state, Marion and Polk counties
(or construction of a bridge over the Willamette river at Inde
Detidencc to replace the inter- 1 "
county ferry there. The ten
tative form was prepared by J.
M. Devers, attorney for the state
highway commission, who said
in an accompanying letter that
he was not insisting on accept
Btice of the contract in the form
prepared, but asked the court
to examine it, offer suggestions,
and if possible have the final
agreement on the contract
reached in time so the proposal
may be submitted to the stale
highway commission at its meet
ing next Monday. On first exam
ination the form seemed agree
able to the county court, with
exception that it wished to make
an inquiry as to the nature of
the road the highway depart
ment will require approaching
the bridge. The contract pro
vides that the respective coun
ties will construct and maintain
such roads.
Under terms of the tentative
agreement the stale pledges it
self to mnke necessary surveys,
prepare plans and specifications,
prepare and call for bids and
to pay half the cost of con
struction, such half cost being
estimated at $320,000.
Marion county would pledge
itself to provide rights-of-way
for approaches and road to the
bridge at its own expense; main-
lain its section of the bridge,
approaches and road, perform
such construction and improve
ment on the road to the bridge
as to bring it to satisfactory
standard, at its own expense,
and to pay one-fourth of the cost
of construction or $160,000 in
two equal installments, one to
be paid when the bridge is half
completed and the other on
completion and acceptance of
the structure.
Polk county would pledged it
self to provide right-of-way on
its side, bring the road and ap
proaches to standard and when
the bridge is completed main
tain its section and the ap
proach and roadway. Polk coun
ty would pay one-fourth of the
cost in 10 equal installments of
$16,000 each, the first to be
paid after the contract is award
ed by the highway commission
and a like installment each year
thereafter. Provision is made
that as to Polk county that the
county will assign to the high
way commission such sums as
may be allotted to it by the legis
lature to assure the payments
provided in the contract. It is
understood the proposed form
as prepared by Devers varies a
little from the original agree
ment with Polk county which
was lo pay out in 12 instead
of 10 installments.
The contract further says that
the sums mentioned as to cost
of the bridge are understood to
be estimates only and if the cost
varies the sums in the contract
will vary in proportion.

Evenson said the pick-up
truck was traveling 45 or 50
miles an hour, and the train,
according to his estimate, at 50
or 55 miles. The right side
of the engine pilot struck the
left side of the truck, Evenson
said, hurled it into the air and
it came down lodging on the' pi
lot. No statement from any of the
train crew was available. C. P.
Davis, yardmaster for the South
ern Pacific, said he didn't know
exactly what the speed restric
tions are for that part of the
city, but he believed the train
would not have been going mora
than 35 miles an hour.
No Light Signal.
Although the city council has
repeatedly called the attention
of the railroad company to the
poor protection for traffic at the
crossing it is without a bell or
night signal. It is an open cross
ing and there is a street light
at Baker and Madison. Other
accidents have occurred there.
City council records show that
in a city council meeting July
20. 1945. the need of a signal
at Madison street was discussed
in the council. It was stressed
at another meeting of August 20,
1945, in the presence of South
ern Pacific officials headed by
a Mr. Hopkins. In a general
discussion of track maintenance
in Salem Alderman Tom Arm
strong reminded the railroad
men that a safety signal was
"much needed at Madison and
D streets."
