Keizer Fire Protection
District Talked Again
' Keizer, Feb. 21 A great deal 'of agitation for a lire patrol
'i district has sprung up again in this community since the demol
ishing of the Harvey Plummer home between Keizer and Che-
niawa by fire last Wednesday
night. The home and all its
contents were a complete loss.
Several residents and the clubs
of the district are planning gifts
to the family and Shirley Plum
mer's class, the sixth grade,
gave her a surprise gift of sev
eral dollars Friday to help her
replace in part the loss of her
possessions.
:. Last year petitions were cir
culated among the residents of
the district for the formation
of a fire patrol district, some
temporary officers were elect
ed, meetings held and the ' pe
titions presented to the county
court. The petitions were re
turned to the temporary offi
cers to be more completely fill
ed out but up to this time noth
ing more has been heard about
them. :
With the summer only a few
months away several small
groups have met or are plan
ning to meet at various homes
to plan toward another mass
meeting soon to see what must
now be done toward forming
the fire patrol district. It is
hoped the meeting can be held
sometime early in March, the
place and date to be announced
later.

another hot report criticizing the
army for using public funds to
prop a g a n d 1 z e for peacetime
conscription.
Harness will charge that the
Army is continuing its propa
gandizing at public expense, de
spite a report by the House Ex
penditures Committee last July
clearly showing that Brass Hats
were violating the law and had
spent more than $50,000 of the
public's money for lobbying pur
poses. When called on the carpet,
Secretary of the Army Royall
said he had "no personal know
ledge" of the lobbying campaign
and he " h a d no apologies to
make.
Royall was technically right
on the first point, since he be
came Secretary of War in July,
though as Undersecretary of War
he should have known what was
happening and used his in
fluence against it.
However, Congressman Har
ness' second report will charge
that since July the Army has
been sending men from its new
UMT unit at Fort Knox, Ky, to
all parts of the country to make
speeches before Rotary, Kiwanis,
and Lions Clubs; plugging Com
pulsory Military Training.
The Congressman from Indi
ana will charge that these arid
other speeches are made at the
taxpayers' expense.
NOTE Whereas FDR had a
great yen for the Navy, Harry
Truman fondly remembers his
days in the Army. Visiting with
the Reserve Officers Association
the other day, he said proudly,
"I am still, a Colonel in the Re
serve." MERRY-GO-ROUND

"Holly"
Says
It is only three months and nine days until that ever
welcome month of June when men's fancies turn to
Holly and diamond rings. We have the reputation of
setting the stage for more June weddings than that
little guy Cupid himself and when anyone can out
strip that little genius they've certainly reached a
goal of some kind. We do not care so much in having
established the record the real enjoyment we get is
in the satisfaction o' supplying the rings. If you are a
new hand at the project you w'i1 feel right at ease
here. We help you select the right diamond, give you
our honest opinion, the benefit of our years' of experi
ence, our knowledge of diamonds and our exception
ally low prices made possible by our low overhead.
You vill net be urged to buy, this part of our service
we know you will like. Hundreds of people have told
us it is a real pleasure to select diamonds here. It
would be well to come in now and make arrangements
for future delivery.

$3,500,000 Is Too Much
The proposed $3,500,000 bond issue asked for by the District School
Board at Tuesday's election is $2,000,000 more than the amount needed
at this time. Actually, only $1,500,000 is needed to provide for the ed
ucation of our children during the next year or two.
This means that if we vote for the full amount, the people of School
District" No. 24 (which includes Salem, West Salem and the immediate
areas) will place in the hands of the School Board $2,000,000 on which
interest will have to be paid. Moreover, a bond issue of $3,500,000 would
raise the local tax levy to the highest figure it has ever been.
Our present tax structure is an attraction to industries which we
want and which would provide work and wages for the growing popula
tion. If that tax structure is made less attractive, new industries will be
discouraged from coming into this area.
Let's vote against the $3,500,000 bond issue and vote for what is
actually needed, $1,500,000, at the next election. Let's pay as we go and
protect our tax structures and our credit rating.
