Newspaper Page TextI Capital' Journal, Salem, Harry Pearcy Vice-President Harry Percy of Salem was el ected a vice president of the Oregon and Washington Nut Growers society at a convention which closed at Vancouver, Wash., Friday. The growers agreed that thev want higher import tariffs on Imported shelled filberts and quotas on imported foreign nuts A memorial resolution hon ored the late C. E. Schuster, fed eral horticulturist at Oregon State college, who was secreta ry of the society for many years. A panel discussion on filbert harvesting was led by Palmer Ton-end of Hillsboro. Partici pating were R. R. Bibby of Sa lem. Bob Hiatt of Hillsboro, E. L. Haynes of Salem and George Croston of Aloha. Robert Warrens of Forest Grove was elected president. R. S. Durkee of Battle Ground, Wash., was elected a vice prej dent and C. O. Rawlings of Cor vallis treasurer. Ohling Lions' District Chief Merrill D. Ohling. charter member of the Salem Lions club has been named district gover nor for District 36R by Dr. Eu gene Briggs of Enid, Okla.. in ternational president, according to a telegram received here from Melvin Jones, international sec retary. The appointment, effec tive immediately, was brought about through the recent death at Astoria of Oliver Pesonen who was elected district governor during last summer's state con vention at Baker. District 36R includes the Wil lamette valley from Corvallis north to Portland, the coast line from Astoria south to Waldport and extends as far east as Mill City. Ohling and Harry Scott are the only remaining charter members of the Salem club which was or ganized In 1922. Ohling served as the first secretary of the club, was president In 1929 and twice has held the position of deputy district governor. Because next year's convention will be held In Astoria, within the district, Ohling automatically becomes chairman of the board of gov ernors. Richard Doyle of Astoria will be named district governor and he will assume much of the re sponsibility of lining up next year's convention arrangements In that community. Ohling attended the interna tional convention In New York City last summer. The 1949 con vention will be held In the same city because It has faciilties for handling the thousands of dele gates who will take part.

One of her highlight Impres sions is of the English people.

Miss Robertson spent a month in England, the first 10 days motoring through southwest England, then two weeks in London, and the rest of the time in other parts of that country. A month was spent in France and 10 days in Switz erland and Italy. The month in France was in Paris. , There one sees the ex treme the very well dressed and the very poorly dressed, but in England every one was on the same level. Miss Robertson reported. In all places visited, however, the people were very courteous and helpful. In Paris, also in Italy, she said those who had the means could buy good meals but the prices were such that the average working per son could not afford the food. One could get an excellent meal in Paris for a little more than $1 in American money, but the exchange is in favor of the American and the Frenchman can not afford to pay the price.
