School Districts
Seeking Re-Vote
i Woodburn Delegates from
the Belle Passi and Hall school
i districts met with the Woodburn
school board Monday night and
i requested permission to re-sub-
mit the consolidation plan to
! the residents of their areas, con
i tending that the narrow margin
of defeat was not decisive enough
i and did not represent the wishes
' of the majority of the people.
J The Woodburn board agreed to
cooperate and petitions are now
; being circulated in the three dis
i tricts calling for another vote in
I the near future.
i The proposal was defeated in
' the Belle Passi district by a vote
of 39 to 38 and in the Hall dis-
' trict 36 to 33. Woodburn, John-
, ston and West Woodburn voted
in favor and will probably be
J declared a consolidated district
i by the district boundary board.
J Union, Grassy Pond and McKee
l also votea Bgain&i me piujeui.
The three districts favoring
consolidation do not have the re-
' quired 1000 school census to
J qualify as a first class district
i having a total of only 871. With
;the addition of Hall and Belle
t Passi, the required number
'would be met.
i Information from the county
' school superintendent's office in
dicates that if a consolidation
i could be achieved before July 1,
J qualifying the merged area as a
i first class district, it could still
stay out of the county rural
t school law set up.

cutting over the Aumsvillc to

Has Stick-up
Lebanon Russell's store on

of a stick-up Wednesday eve
ning at 7 p.m. when a young
man entered the establishment
while the clerk, Vern Weber,
was alone, asked for cigarettes,
and when Weber rang up the
cash, ordered him to keep the
drawer open.
Looking into the muzzle of
a gun, Weber heeded the order,
the stranger then scooped up
cash and checks amounting to
approximately $300 and left
hurriedly in a car parked in
the shadows outside the store,
driving south on the Santiam
highway.
Weber was unable to see if
any other than the hold-up man
occupied the car. He placed the
man's age at about 30 and, ac
cording to police, feels fairly
certain of his Identifying him.
Sheriff H. . A. Southard ar
rived shortly after the robbery
was reported and, aided by Leb
anon city police, began a care
ful check-up In Lebanon and
along the highway south through
Sweet Home.
One suspect was picked up
early this morning, Chief Clif
ford Price reported, and is be
ing held pending the arrival of
Southard.

New Members
Silverton Clifford Almquist,
membership chairman of the Li

tion of three new members into
the organization Wednesday
evening at the dinner business
and social program at Bud's and
Frank's. Received into the club
were Larry Carpenter, Frank
Vlasic and Norris Schorenberg.
Other members to be inducted

Fisher and Bud Hart.

ed with a pin and other articles
designating them as full mem
bers. Dr. A. L. V. Smith gave a

Dallas Fences
Dumping Plot
Dallas A strong board fence
will be erected at the entrance
of the Dallas city dumping
grounds immediately, charges
will be assessed for dumping on
every day of the week but Sat
urday and Sunday and a man
will be on duty to see that the
grounds are properly kept, ac
cording to Nels Fast of the Dal
las City sanitary service who
holds the local garbage hauling
franchise.
These regulations, when plac
ed in effect, will be enforcing
city ordinance passed some
time ago but not enforced after
the death of a previous caretak
er. Misuse of the privilege of
dumping debris on the grounds
has resulted in the present ac
tion, which will be effective on
Monday, Fast said.
Charges will oe made at the
rate of 75c per truckload, 40c
per pickup or trailer load, 25c
for 100 pounds or less, free
dumping up to 100 pounds on
Saturdays and the yard will be
closed Sundays.
Recent discovery of dead dogs
and dead calves lumped right
beside the county road at the
grounds and the blocking of the
entrance way with trash by the
public precipitated the enforce
ment of the ordinance. In the
past it has been necessary for a
bulldozer to be hired at city
expense to Keep the grounds in
condition. However, with the
control exercised by Fast it is
expected that this will not be
necessary and those who use the
grounds will be paying for its
upkeep. Residents of other com
munities have been using the
dumping grounds without ex
pense to them and have been
causing their share of the trou-
ble, Fast declares.
