Mayor Champions Cause Of Hot Rods' on Strip The "hot rod" is a hot subject in Salem and about everywhere else just now. And the hot rod boys have a friend In Mayor Robert L. Elfstrom, who is still young enough to have a good deal of sympathy for the youngsters. The question has been brought to the front within the last week with the boys on the short end of an order barring them from driving their souped-up cars on the little-used Aurora emergen cy airplane landing strip in the north end of Marion county. The strip has a hard surface and is fine for speeding the freak cars. "No Trespassing" signs have now been posted against the boys. "Let the boys have their hot rods and let them have a place to drive them," says Mayor Elf strom. "It is important, of course, that they be kept off the streets and highways where they be come a danger to traffic. "I enjoy watching the boys work on their hot rods. Theyt get greasy and dirty and thoroughly engrossed in their work. They do it because they are mechanically-minded, and they produce some remarkable results. I would much rather see a boy working on a hot rod than doing a lot of other things that en forced idleness might cause. And idleness is sometimes caused by too much suppression of the boys in the things they like to do." A hot ' rod is most any old automobile worked over and geared up to a degree where it is capable of high speed. Some of the cars are low-lung with chromium-plated parts, and occasion ally of fine enough amateur workmanship that they are worth good money in the mar ket. The cars are one-seaters. The driver may have his girl friend or a male companion with him, but he hasn't room for a riotous crowd that is likely to cause ac cidents. Arabs Renew Attack On Jewish Village Jerusalem, Jan. 21 (U.R) Arab fighters struck again today at the Jewish settlement of Yehiam, northeast of Acre, in a renewal of yesterday's machine gun and mortar attack which cost 16 lives.

Tito Declares (Continued from Page 1) 'Hundreds of thousands of their companions who live in our midst spy on us from London and Washington through yet un discovered channels," Tito was quoted as saying. "Comrades, these doings must be stopped at all costs." The report then quoted Tito as saying: "I have no wish to interfere in matters of religion, but when priests will toll alarm bells, there will be wholesale insurrection and it must not be overlooked that the farmers are very well armed." Washington Silent Washington, Jan. 21 VP) The report by a Trieste newspaper that Marshal Tito claims Yugo slavia has atomic bombs produc ed the customary deep silence in official quarters here today. Spokesmen for the atomic en ergy commission said that, as in the case of previous similar re ports from Russia and elsewhere. there would be no comment on the Trieste story.

Now Is the time to take care of those needed farm repairs. Here are a few of the many Items we have for all your needs: Lumber Shingles Insulation Paint Builders Hardware Screen-O-GIass Glassweave Tile Board Cement Roofing Masonlte Cedar Posts Wednesday, Jan. 21, 1948 11 20 Predatory Animals Slain County Judge Grant Murphy checking reports on accomplish ments by the predatory animal service In Marlon county partial ly financed by the county with contributions from the state and federal government operating under the government states such reports show that for a six months period apparently 20 an imals have been killed including 13 foxes, two bears, four coy otes and one bobcat. The period covered by the reports Includes 129 days. The county appropriated $1,- 340 as its share of the expense for the year and to date has gent $690 to the state treasurer out of that amount. All of the funds are handled through the state and Judge Murphy says he has no way of knowing Just how much of the funds so far advanced were used in helping to finance the 129 days Indicated in the re port and so it is impossible to tell from the county records just how much the cost per animal would run in killing the 20 ani mals in question. The budget committee for sev eral years has met with an in sistent demand from a large number of farmers for continu ation of the predatory animal control and the county's share in meeting the expense stating it has saved a large quantity of livestock for Marlon county. $50,000 Fire Loss In Town of Merrill Klamath Falls, Jan. 21 (JP) Fire broke out in the middle of the business district of the town of Merrill, 18 miles south of here, this morning and gutted the frame quarters of two busi ness houses before it was con trolled by the combined efforts of the fire departments of Mer rill and Malin.

Darrell King, one of the oper ators of the Billiards, discover ed the blaze when he went to work at 7:30 a.m. When he op ened the front door smoke pour ed out and immediately the place burst into flames. An informal estimate of the total loss to buildings, stock and equipment was $50,000. Brooks Fire District Files Annual Report Nathan J. Kurth, secretary treasurer of the Brooks Rural Fire Protection district, has filed his annual report on financial af fairs of the district with County Clerk Harlan Judd showing re ceipts of $8821.03, including bal ance of $4825.04 carried over from the preceding year with expenses totaling $7521.28 and balance on hand at the end of the year of $1299.77.
