Master Sgt. Massey Celebrates
His 25th Year of Army Service
Army day Sunday means more to Master Sgt. Thomas Masrey,
in charge of the Salem army recruiting office, than to mos: re
cruiters. That day marks the 25th anniversary of his enlistment
in the U. S. army.
Massey, who is still as en
thusiastic about the army as he
was 25 years ago, signed for
duty with Uncle Sam's army in
his native state, New York, en
listing at Fort Hamilton. His
service has included seven and
a half years of duty in Hawaii
from 1933 to 1941.
The sergeant and his wife and
two daughters, all of whom now
live in Salem, narrowly missed
the bombing of Pearl Harbor,
being on one of the last ships
returning to this country from
Hawaii before the Nips struck
there. On returning to the states
Massey was stationed in Texas
then sent to Fort Benning, Ga.
where he attended officer train
ins school and received his com
mission as a second lieutenant
in September, 1942.
Prior to being assigned here
as a recruiter in February, 194b,
the sergeant had had duty in
Oregon. He had been stationed
at Camp Adair as a company
commander at the replacement
depot being one of the men who
came there from Fort Meade,
Md., with Gen. F. B. Mallon,
when the general took over com
mand of the Camp Adair re
placement depot. When the re
placement depot was moved
from Camp Adair, Massey was
transferred to Camp Beale,
Calif., as captain and granted
his terminal leave January 3,
1946. The army, however, called
this veteran of so many years
service and he reenlistcd Febru
ary 6, 1946, as a master ser
geant. Fruit Fly Control
Studied at Meeting
Pending approval of inspec
tors' salaries, continuation of
the cherry fruit fly control pro
gram in mid-Willamette valley
counties was assured Wednes
day when representatives of the
Oregon stale experiment sta
tion, extension service, and de
partment of agriculture met at
Corvallis to make plans for the
1947 control season. Attending
from Salem were Frank Mc
Kennon and Al Fleming, state
department of agriculture, and
D. L. Rasmussen, Marion coun
ty assistant agent.
County agents who attended
were W. C. Leth, Polk county;
Louis Gross, Yamhill county;
and O. E. Mikesell, Linn coun
ty. Charles W. Smith, associ
ate director extension service,
and S. C. Jones, associate ento
mologist, were the Oregon state
representatives.

ber of applications received for
the State Employment Service
Director examination, the Civil
Service commission today an
nounced the extension of the

On Del Monte School
Washington, April 5 (U.B
Son. Warren Magnuson, (D
Wash), today filed with the sen-
ale armed services committee his
dissent to a majority subcom
mittee recotnmendation that the
navy establish a post-graduate
fchool at Del Monte. Calif.
Magnuson said the subcom
mittee report should have made
joint recommendation of Del
Monte and Sand Point, Wash.,
"with preference to Sand Point."
"At jSand Point, the navy is
established," Magnuson wrote;
"at Del Monlo it would have to
become established, with all this
problem entails, financially and
otherwise."

Teamsters Ask
Wage Boost
Portland. Ore.. April 5 lu.fil
The Portland Drayage associa
tion announced today it had
turned down a counter-proposal
of the AFL teamsters' union
local here for a wage boost.
J. M. Scudder, spokesman for
the employers, said the group
felt that its offered boost of 60
cents a day was as far as it
could go.
The union had asked for an
increase of $1.50 a day but at a
recent meeting lowered its de
mands. The union's new pro
posal was rejected at subsequent
meetings of the employers, ac
cording to Scudder.
The union's 1,100 members
have voted 6 to 1 to authorize
strike action if negotiations
fail. In an effort to bring a set
tlement of the dispute, a con
ference has been called for 10
a.m. Tuesday with U.S. Concili
ation Commissioner Guy V.
Lintner.
Scudder said the 60-cent hike
offered by employers would
mean a total Increase of $2.10
a day in the last seven months.

Salem Lions
Offer Award
To encourage greater interest
in the teaching profession among
1947 Salem senior high school
graduates and high school stu
dents in general, the Salem
Lions club is offering a $300
educational scholarship to the
student deemed to have the high
est qualifications to be a teach
er, Edward Majek, Lion presi
dent, announced Saturday.
The winner is to be chosen
from a group of not more than
six candidates selected by the
high school administration and
faculty on basis of character,
scholarship and aptitude.
To be eligible the student must
agree to enter the teaching pro
fession upon the completion of
his or her college training, and
must also agree to repay funds

become a teacher are not fol
lowed through. Details for the
scholarship were worked out by
Connell C. Ward, chairman, and
members of the Lions club edu
cation committee.
The club was motivated to of
fer the award because of the
alarming decrease of teachers in
Oregon, as well as in the United
States, Lion President Majek
said.
"There is a crying need for
more public interest to be shown
in the problem of keeping teach
ers' ranks filled in vhat is one
of the most important, if not the
most important, professions
dedicated to the future welfare
of our nation," Lion President
Majek asserted.
"The Lions club feels privi
leged that it has opportunity to
take part in long range plans
to do what it can for the educa
tional future of our state and
our people," he declared.

Buildings Panelized
Federal works agency has six
contractors equipped with spe
cialized machinery engaged in
panelizing larger structures for
use at Oregon s schools to re
lieve conjection in the program
for veteran training. Recrea
tion centers, larger administra
tion buildings and exchanges
are diagramed and cut apart
with skill saws. A sizeable rec
reation building, for instance,
was cut into 65 panels. It will
be taken to Eugene where the
building will be reassembled in
about 5 days at a saving of 50
to 65 percent under the cost of
new construction. Some 36
buildings are now being panel
