'Auntie' Brooks,
For Many Years
Death late Thursday night claimed Mrs. Mazy E. (Auntie)
Brooks, familiar figure to Salemites for many years and a resi
dent of this city for the past 77 years. Auntie Brooks, as she w.is
known by many, had made her
home in a little house at 1320
North Commercial street for the
past 42 years. She died at a
local hospital where she was
taken a few days after celebrat
ing her 87th birthday anniver
sary, February 14.
Born February 14, 1860, at
Columbia, Lincoln county,
Penn., Auntie Brooks came to
Salem at the age of 10 years
and with the exception of a year
spent in Alaska and a year's
visit to her native state after
the death of her husband she
had resided here since that time.
Her parents were Barbara
Yeetls, who was a native of
Pennsylvania, and William H.
Norris who was born in New
Orleans, La.
Following the death Septem
ber 6, 1926, of her husband,
Sammy Brooks, an employe of
the Spaulding Logging company
for many years, Auntie Brooks
returned to Pennsylvania for a
visit and while there visited the
tombs of her mother and father
The friend of many in this
city the little lady kept a close
check on her friends and on
learning of the illness of any of
them was sure to send flowers
to them, often walking a great
distance to deliver them person
ally. An active worker in the
first world war her advancing
years prevented her participat
ing in war work during World
War II. Annually she placed
flowers at the monument on the
courthouse lawn in memory of
the boys who lost their lives in
the first world war,
For a number of years she
raised chickens and exhibited
them at the Oregon State Fair,
receiving many ribbons, among
them one championship ribbon
and 21 blue ribbons. Also ex
hibited at past state fairs by
Auntie Brooks were a number
of pieces of fancy work.
Auntie Brooks was a member
nf hi Fire rhricHan .hoi-tV,
and held a membership in the
Independent Order of Good
Temperance and had at different
times held all the offices of that
organization.
There are no known survivors.

Turner Teacher
(Continued from Page 1)
The report says that after El
liott had amused himself a lit
tle longer he left the school
grounds shooting promiscuously
and then turned the gun on a
passing car. The bullet went
through the rear window of the
car, passed through a side win
dow but missed the occupants
The name of the owner of the
car was not learned. After this
occurrence other residents of
the town stopped motorists from
driving into the road where all
the excitement was taking place.
The boy's only successful shoot
ing was at two dogs which he
killed.
Deputy Sheriff Ervin Ward
who was sent to the scene and
apprehended the boy said he lo
cated him between two houses
and as Ward stepped from his
car the boy took a bead on him
with his rifle. Ward came up
with his revolver and ordered
the boy to drop the rifle or said
he would shoot.
"Do you mean it, would you
really shoot me?" Ward said the
boy asked him.
"Well, it looks like you or me
and I warn you to drop the gun
right now," Ward responded.
The boy dropped the gun. He
then asked Ward, as he was ap
prehended, if he really would
have shot him. The deputy left
no doubt in the boys' mind as to
what he would do. "It was not
only my life," said Ward, "but
there was no way of telling how
many other people if this lad
kept on his rampage."
Ward said the gun was stolen
from a house in Turner but he
has not ascertained the name
of the owner. He said the own
er sent word he worked out of
town and would come in when
convenient to claim the weapon.
Only a small handful of shells
was left from four boxes stolen
with the weapon.
Elliott has been returned to
the state hospital. He origin
ally was committed to the boys'
training school at Woodburn but
from there was sent to the state
hospital from which he escaped
Friday morning.
Rural Voters Must
Re-register to Vote
County Clerk Harlan Judd
has advised that all ot the voters
whose postotfice box addresses
have been changed by the addi
tion of two new rural routes out
of the Salem postotfice will have
to re-register and should notify
the county clerk's office as soon
as possible of their new ad
dresses. It was indicated that their
names will still appear in the
poll books but it is likely they
will not receive election pamp
lets or other literature unless
their new addresses are given.
A considerable number of
precincts will be partly affected
by the new rural routes which
are numbered 8 and 0 and which
will effect changes as to routes
2. 3 and 7.
The clerk said that part of
Salem Heights. Chcmawa, Clag
gett, Hayesville and probably
some other precincts are affect
ed The office force has not
yet had time or facilities for
checking off just the precincts
involved in the changes.
Miss Lenore Headley of the
Marion county health depart
ment, spoke concerning the Red
Cross before the Salem Heights
Women's club Friday afternoon.
Mrs. Ruby Bunnell, executive
secretary of the Marion County

Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon,
5 School Districts Vote for i
Merger; Valley View Rejects It
The district boundary board canvassing the otes Saturday on
a consolidation election earlier in the week held by the six school
districts of Union Hill, Oak Grove, McAlpin, Silver Falls, Victor
Pnint nnrl Vsilliw Vipw fnunH
that all of the districts had voted
favorably for consolidation ex
cept Valley View which voted
10 to 1 against it.
In the Oak Grove district
where the original vote showed
13 to 12 against consolidating
and where seven of the votes
were challenged, the board found
that the challenges would stand
and threw out the seven votes
as not being those of property
owners within the district and
this reversed the decision as to
Oak Grove throwing it into the
column favoring consolidation
by a vote of 1 1 lo 7 in favor, in
stead of 13 to 12 against.
In a letter to the district
boundary board from Walter B.
Winn, chairman of the Oak
Grove district board, he said he
had challenged the seven votes
on the ground that they appear
ed as property owners by virtue
of stock held in the United
States National bank and that
the bank had no property in the
school district. Mrs. Agnes
Booth, secretary of the boundary
board, produced a letter from
David Eyre, manager of the
United States National bank
here, confirming the information
that the bank had no property in
the district and inasmuch as
board members were informed
the seven voters did not appear
on the tax rolls as taxpayers,
their votes were thrown out. In
formation given to the boundary
board was that the seven voters
bought the bank stock just a few
days before the consolidation
election.
. "It is now up to the challenged
voters to institute any proceed
ings they may see fit to estab
lish the right for their votes to
be counted," said County Judge
Grant Murphy, chairman of the
district boundary board.
Labor Congress
(Continued from Page 1)
"Under our form of govern
ment, one national parent body
for labor would fit admirably
and would result in greater ben
efit and security for wage earn
ers and stability for industry."
The former New York mayor
testified as the senate commit
tee made ready to close six
weeks of hearings on bills to re
vamp the labor laws.
LaGuardia suggested that the
proposed American congress ot
labor, consolidating the AIL
CIO and all other unions, be di
vided into four national depart
ments:
1. Transportation, including
railroad, water, air and land
workers.
2. Mining, taking in coal, all
minerals and oil.
3. Professional and entertain
ment workers.
4. All other skills and trades.
LaGuardia coupled his merger
recommendation with a plea
that congress avoid "hasty" ac
tion on labor legislation.
Idanha Shingle Co.
Buys Forest Timber
Award was recently made to
the Idanha Shingle company of
Idanha, Ore., for approximate
ly 732,000 board feet of national
forest timber, Forest Supervi
sor Bruckart announced today.
The timber is located in the
Marion Creek drainage on the
Detroit ranger district, and is
valued at approximately $3,-
445.40. Of this amount 25 per
cent will go to Linn county, in
lieu of taxes, and an additional
10 percent will be used for for
est roads.
The Idanha Shingle company
bid $4.70 per thousand for west
ern red cedar, $5 per thousand
for dead Douglas fir and $4.30
per thousand for western hem
lock and other species, accord
ing to Bruckart.
It probably is no exaggera
tion to say that Marshall and
President Truman, loo, are pray
ing for success of the Moscow
conference. But conference
omens are not good, with the
single exception of Moscow's re
cent announcement that Russia
would waive its objection to es
tablishment of American bases
on Pacific islands seized from
Japan.
The Southern Pacific Railroad
company has about completed a
new drainage ditch along the
south end of McNary field, run
ning parallel to the railroad
tracks. The ditch is expected
to improve drainage on the air
port and carry off surface water
which has been draining over
the southeast laxiway and the
end of the runway.

Critical Months
By Lyle C. Wilson
Washington, March (U.R)
March and April are the months K;
ui Liuia iti mc wuims acciiuu
for peace.
The next six weeks should de
termine whether France, Great
Britain, the Soviet Union and
the United States shall fail or
succeed in putting Europe on
the path toward economic and
political recovery. That boils
down to a question whether the
United States and the Soviet
Union can get together on Ger
many's future.
If the powers are unable to
agree on general principles of
German policy the world situa
tion inevitably will get worse.
If they are able to agree, the
world situation will improve
and, probably, continue to im
prove. The German peace treaty
conference convenes in Moscow
next Monday. By April's end it
probably will be recorded a
success or a costly failure.
Secretary of State George C.
Marshall expects the Moscow
conference to last about six
weeks. If general principles
have been reached by then, the
foreign ministers will assign de
tails to their deputies. Agree
ment on Germany would tend to
ease pressure in Europe and
wherever Russian and American
interests clash, or seem to clash.
