no more worthy project than
that of serving youth in their
efforts to become good citizens

keep boys out of trouble and we
can do it by various types of ac

On Holidays
A list of the holidays on which
Salem stores will be closed dur
ing the next year, between the
dates of October 1, 1946. and
October 1. 1947, was read at
the meeting of the Chamber of

closed. However, a letter from
the fair management was re
ceived which is described as
rather sharp.
Following the fair the bureau
look a vole of its members and

to one vote. It was, however,
made unanimous.
Rent Control
(Continued from Page 1)
Repercussions on the opposi
tion in Salem reached Portland
Thursday when Vincent E. Wea
ver of Portland, national secretary-treasurer
of Yank Legion,
assailed the Salem landlords for
attempting to break rent con
trol. "If there is any one thing the
veterans do not want, it is a
relaxaiton of rent and price
controls," Weaver said.
"Veterans are paying enough
as it it, right now.
"The Salem area has seen a
great influx of veterans and
their families in the last year
and a half, and with houses,
even rooms, almost impossible
to find, rents have risen out of
all proportion.
"Public demand brought
aout the institution of a federal
rent control program in Marion
county. Now a few landlords
are attempting to block it.
"We didn't fight for that.
"Incidentally, we have more
than 200 active members in
Salem alone."
While Salemites enjoyed ideal
fall weather Wednesday and
Thursday, night temperatures
gave warning winter is on its
way. Thursday's minimum was
35 degrees, the coldest it had
been since April 30. Local frosts
are predicted for Thursday
night.
Butler advanced again in Sa
lem, Thursday, retailers quoting
it at varying prices of 95 to
97 cents a pound. Some deal
ers said supplies were more
scarce, while others, said their
supplies were holding at nor
mal. Butter hit the 90-cent mark

Norse Observe
Erikson Day
The interesting history of
Norway, from the time the
Norsemen were hated and fear
ed in early limes as roving pi
rates, until the present when
they have the confidence and
respect of the entire civilized
world, was reviewed by Dr. A.
S. Jensen of Walla Walla in an
address before Tor lodge. Sons
of Norway, meeting at the Mar
ion hotel Wednesday night in
a Leif Erikson celebration din
ner. For over 120 years, said Dr.
Jensen, Norway has set an ex
ample to the world in peace, in
dustry and economy, disturbed
only by the aggression of the
nazis.
Historically, the speaker went
into the period of Norse discov
eries and the founding of col
onies, dating back to the year
1000.
A dinner of turkey and smor
gasbord snacks was served. A
Norwegian folk dance, the "Lci
karing" was presented by a
group of girls from the Sons
of Norway lodge of Portland. In
troduced was Sylvia Nybcrg of
Portland, who was general sec
retary and manager for the
clothing-for-Norway drive sev
eral months ago.
Guests who were introduced
included Justice George Ross
man of the supreme court, Judge
George Duncan of the circuit
court, Congressman Walter Nor
blad and State Treasurer Leslie
Scott.
Announcements were made of
a benefit parly with movies dat
ed for October 16, and a Thanks
giving program and display of
things from Norway dated for
November 20.

the Italian treaty out of the way,
look up the second of the five
drafts before it. He was joined
in his plea for free commerce
on the Danube and free trade
throughout Hie Balkan nations
by British Foreign Secretary
Ernest Bevin.
Bcvin Supports Move
'The task of rehabilitating
Europe is made infinitely more
difficult," Bcvin said, "so long
as there is a barrier between
the west and the east in the Dan
ube area and the commercial in
lerests of the west are met in
Romania by a whole host of dis
criminatory acts."
Bevin said that the Russian
proposal, which sought "to re
strict the use of the Danube ex
clusively to the countries along
its banks, is not only a retro
grade step but a deliberate dis
criminatory action against their
allies."
"It is this policy which gives
rise to a good deal of suspicion
as lo the designs of the Soviet
union in this part of the world,"
Bcvin said.

Salem Views
Shooting Stars
For several hours Wednesday
night Salem residents spent
most of their time outdoors
watching the meteoric display
that had been forecast by scien
tists for several weeks.
Hundreds of the shooting
stars were clearly visible here,
dimmed part of the time by an
unusually bright moon.
Most of the United Slates was
treated to a spectacular display
of shooting stars as meteors shed
by the comet Giacobini-Zinner
burned across the skies in what
some scientists said was the
most brilliant exhibition seen in
America this century.
But dense clouds barred or
completely obliterated the view
for many watchers of the skies
in some sections of the country.
Scientists used radar and for
the first recorded time reported
they "saw" a display of meteor
bevond fog and clouds. Observ
ers from the national bureau of
standards in Washington said
they were sure that "pips" ap
pearing on the radar screen rep
resented metors about 50 miles
from earth.
Other scientists boarded air
planes to get above thick clouds
for a glimpse of the aerial fire
works and Harvard astronomers
in an "aerial planetarium" re
ported seeing metors nt the rate
of about 17 per minute.
Joint army air forces signal
corps observers at Whiteside,
N.M., reported to Camp Evans,
U.S. signal corps laboratory at
Belmar, N.J., that they contact
ed the meteor showers with
radar at varied distances from
45 to 180 miles.
The display resulted as tha
earth came within 131,000 miles
of the spot in space through
which the comet passed eight
days ago.
The metors were shed by tht
comet and formed part of its
tail.
