At Norse Fair
More than 100 persons at
tended the first annual fair,
staged at the Woman's club
house Wednesday night by Sons
of Norway, to inspect 80 ex
hibits displayed to better ac
quaint Salem people with Nor
wegian character and the crea
tions of that country.
Products of home handicraft
were featured, ranging from
fine, hsrd-woven textiles to
wooden shoes. Relics from the
homeland included a Bible
printed in the last quarter of
the 18th century; a beautiful
example of the bookmaker's art,
and a diminutive, hand-operated
sewing machine at least 75 years
old. A postwar treasure chest
bearing a Rosmall design was
also on display, received as a
token of appreciation for ap
parel se:it a needy family in the
homeland at the close of the
war. This chest was received in
Salem by Mrs. Carrie Wolf for
whom the clothing had been sent
to Norway by Mrs. Karie Bjorn
rud. Mrs. Inga Aspiness of Inde
pendent displayed a 200 year
old butler and cheese press made
of wood but constructed with
out use of nails.
T. G Nelson, president of the

members, was fair chairman.
Mrs. Louise Arneson served as
social director. Mrs. Louise Ru

costume of the homeland.
Next program arranged by

Taught to Speak by Frog
He Now Makes
M. T. Nix, Woodburn farmer,
has been taught to speak by a
teaching seven frogs to speak.
iting tl.c Capital Journal office
by having the little green tree
frog that he carries about say
"Margaret Magee," "Frank Per
ry" and "Helen Yockey."
The frog doesn't have to learn
to speak like a parrot. He isn't
an imitator. Mr. Nix simply
gets the little reptile in the
proper mood, inserts it into his
mouth, and it will speak any
thing that its owner wills.
When Nix was four years old
he had infantile paralysis and
his voca! cords were paralyzed.
That was at Mason City, Iowa.
His mother used to put him ou:
in the yard to amuse himself as
best he could in his crippled
and speechless condition.
"I almost prayed that I could
speak again," he said. "I listen
ed to the horses, and the cows,
and the frogs, or any animals
that miidit be around, and knew
they had a way of speaking to
each other. I wondered why I
couldn't.
"So I began playing with
frogs. I discovered that if I put
a small frog in my mouth, and
placed my tongue against its
tongue a.nd made the vibrations
for any word, the frog could
speak the word. Of course it
took some training and a lot of
patience.
"One day I was elated when
I was able to talk a little with
out the aid of the frog. I went
into the house and spoke to my
mother. She fainted."
Nix, row 34 years old, and a
resident of Woodburn for nine
years, now speaks normally
without the aid of the frog. But
he always has a frog around for
demonstration. His arms are
still crippled from the polio.
Partial Eclipse
Of Sun Saturday
Portland, Nov. 21 P) A par
tial eclipse of the sun is due
next Saturday at 8:14 a.m
but it's very doubtful that any
Oregonians will see it.
The eclipse, covering about 8
percent of the sun's expanse,
will be caused by the moon. But
local astronomers said a photo
graph negative or smoked glass
would be necessary to spot it
and the sun will probably be
blanked out by clouds or rain,
anyway.
For those who miss it, John Q.
Stewart, Princeton university
associate professor of astron
omical physics, pointed out
there would be another similar
eclipse next May 20.

Byrnes' chief aims in those

Aroused Populace Hunts for
Lake Como's Sea Monster
Como, Italy, Nov. 21 u.R Lake Como's "rose-colored" sea
monster developed "gleaming red eyes and green scales" today
and intrepid hunting parties patrolled the eastern shore deter
mined to do him in with pitch-
forks and shotguns the next time
he appears.
Three fishermen said they
spotted the marine mammoth
Wednesday. They said he had
"gleaming eyes, green scales and
black stripes."
"We were terror stricken,"
said two of the fishermen, with
the third nodding an anxious
assent. The exact size of the
monster still is unsettled. Some
say he's about 100 feet long.
Others say he's only 12 feet
long. All agree, however, that
Lake Como is no longer a place
for fishermen. The firemen have
taken over.
Firemen from the nearby vil
lage of Lecco have joined wor
ried citizens from Gero. Colico,
and Poina. Together they pa
trol the lake shore day and
night, armed with weapons
ranging from shotguns to pitch
forks. The slightest ripple on
the blue water attracts their
attention.
Dredging barges cruise along
the eastern lake shore. One
fisherman claimed he wounded
the colorful monster with a rifle
shot. The barge operators said
that might help them to capture
the beast.
Whether this new giant of the
deep is the same one an Italian
journalist said he sighted six
years ago has not yet been
established. The Italian journal
ist didn't say anything about
"black spots or great horns"
on the head of the monster he
saw. Villagers can't remember
whether the Italian Journalist's
monster had green or red scales.
"We were going to Varenna
in a rowboat. ' one of the eye
witnesses said, "when we saw
on our left a strange, foaming
wake. My companion remarked
how strange it was because the
lake is always so calm. We
turned and saw an enormous,
frightful head.
"The monster opened its
mouth and we could see big eyes
and black spots or bumps on Its
head. It swallowed some wa
ter, plunged and re-emcrged
with the fins on Its body show
ing. We started to row away
fast and when we looked back
it was gone."

Food Poison
Continued from Page 1)
Ed Thomas, owner of the
North Salem motel, insisted on
closing the rooms until it is de
termined whether anything
about the cottages could have
caused the illness. When the
condition of his guests first be
came known to him he feared it
was gas from the cottage heat
ing equipment, but it was soon
found this was not the cause.
The two couples came to Sa
lem Wednesday. They intended
to go to Portland Thursday, and
then on to Tacoma.
Grover Ritchie went to the
motel about 4 p.m. Wednesday
and registered for all four. They
all returned to the motel about
9 p.m. and went immediately
to bed.
One of the men showed signs
of illness Wednesday night, the
others not until Thursday morn
ing. Their condition was dis
covered by Mr. Thomas when he
heard one of the women calling
for help. He immediately call
ed for police and first aid, and
a doctor was hastily summoned.
Jay Ritchie's condition ap
peared to be the most serious.
He was having great respiratory
difficulty and an oxygen tent
was taken to the motel before
he was removed to the hospital.
Difficulty was found in get
ting hosnital accommodation be
cause of crowded conditions, and
efforts were being made to find
nurses for the two remaining at
the motel.
At the hospital Thursday aft
ernoon it was said the condition
of both Mr. and Mrs. Jay Ritchie
was serious, with Mrs. Ritchie
in the bttter condition.
A fire alarm from the States
man office was turned in just
before noon Wednesday. It did
not prove serious.

formerly had fish racks on the
place but where the county
wants to set up would not in

commission wishes to reinstall

Rice. The site is about three
miles this side of Detroit and
would provide the shortest haul
