ans and Junior Chamber of
Commerce.
The Highland park ground.
Mrs. Sam Campbell, president of
the Junior club, told the meet
ing, is already in condition for
Installation of proper equip
ment, and It was agreed that
this be financed on a propor
tional membership basis by the
various organizations. This was
suggested by J. D. Burroughs of
the Lions club.
On the program also for de

are Marion Square, Kay park.
Pringle park, Bush's Pasture

Proper equipment Includes
large swings, kindergarten
swings, merry-go-rounds, horl
zontal bars, and 15-foot wave
slides. It was said that the cost
of properly equipping one play
ground is estimated at $788.
Mrs. Campbell said the sev
eral playgrounds are owned by
the city and are equipped only
to give the children exercise
What is needed, she said, is re
creational equipment.
As the movement takes hold
the club plans to have a cele
bration at each playground in
its turn as a means of adding
to the necessary finances. This
was suggested by A. Lethin
of the Optimists, Wi. said a
carnival could be one ui the
attractions.

Koo Speaks to
Student Body
Be the master of your lives
and when you seek a Job follow
ing graduation look for one
with a mission. This was the
advice of T. Z. Koo, Chinese
worker with the YMCA as he
addressed the student body of
Willamette university during
Thursday chapel service at the
First Methodist church.
Koo spoke of his own experi
ences in reaching an adjustment
within himself. Follow I n g
graduation he spent 10 years
with a Chinese railroad Hav
ing a desire to become an em
ployer Instead of an employe, he
looked around and discovered to
what extent the tobacco habit
had grown. He decided to be
come a seller of tobacco. Even
tually he accepted a position
with the Y at a salary of $120,
in contrast to the one of $330 he
received as a railroad worker.
Out of his life's experience he
said he had learned the philoso
phy of the age old admonition
to "be an attendant and not a
master."
The Chinese visitor will ad

Stop Removal
Of Jap Plants
Washington, May 12 W The
United States ordered a halt to
day in further removals of Jap
anese plants as war reparations.
Maj. Gen. Frank R. McCoy,
the American representative,
told the 11-nation far eastern
commission that even industrial
plants classed as "primary war
facilities" are needed by Japan
to hasten its economic recovery.
The deliveries ordered halted
were advance deliveries of
plants and equipment which the
commission already had ear
marked for removal.
The reparations have gone In
limited quantities to China, the
Philippines, Netherlands for
The Netherlands Indies, and
Britain for Burma, Malaya and
Far Eastern colonial posses
sions.
Diplomatic authorities said It
was a fair inference from the
American action that the Unit
ed States opposes transfer of
any more reparations whatso
ever from Japan.
McCoy Informed the commis
sion the United States is con
vinced that 'there should be no
ceiling on Japanese production
for peaceful purposes.
"The problem facing us Is
not one of limitation of Japan's
peaceful industries but of re
viving these Industries to pro
vide the people's barest wants,'
he said.
Linn Road Fund
Remaining Same
Albany Linn county will
have to get along on whatever
funds may become available for
road repair and construction
work aa the result of a decision
reached by the county court to
ask no special tax.
County Judge E. G. Arnold
announces that the court has
con eluded from information
gleaned through an informal
pool of voters that any attempt
to gain approval of a special
road tax would be defeated at
an election this year and there
fore it would be futile to call
for a special election on the
question of a 5-year '10-miU le
vy that had been proposed ear
lier this year by a group of citi
zens representing farm and civ
ic organizations.
' We are Just going to do the
best we can with the money we
get," said Judge Arnold. This
means, officials pointed out,
that probably less than $200,-
000 can be budgeted for road
work during the 1949-50 fiscal
year, though road damage in
flicted by winter weather condi
tions is estimated at several
times that amount. The county
has nearly 1500 miles of road
way to maintain.

Portland, May 12 UP) "I will

W. L. Josslin, state chairman, in
letter today.
Josslin yesterday said he had

Tanana River
Ice Sill Intact
Fairbanks, May 12 ()
Chances of the latest Tanana
river ice breakup in history
were diminishing today.
So were the size of the award
for the closest guess on the ex
act minute of the ice movement
at Nenana.
Floyd W. Avery, manager of
the 1949 Ice guessing sweep
stakes, reported the amount
would "only" be $164,000. The
earlier unofficial estimate had
been for a "kitty" of $185,000,
The revised figure still will be
$14,000 above last year s pre
vious record payoff in the an
nual Alaska contest.
Meanwhile, water was pour
ing into the Tanana from the
Chena river, 40 miles upstream
from the Nenana' tripod which
records the tell-tale minute of
the Ice movement.
The Chena ice broke at Fair
banks at 6:29 p.m. Tuesday. It
was worth $6,800 to Max Wil
lard of Anchorage. His prophecy
had been for 6:32 p.m.
In 13 of the last 20 years the
Tanana ice has moved at Nena-
withln 72 hours after the
Chena. The longest interval be
tween recorded breakups was
six days. The Nenana ice must
hold until after 9:41 a.m. next
Monday if it is to set a new
late season record. '
Acute Shortage
Of Teachers
Dr. .Louis Kaplan, director of
teacher training at Oregon
School of Education, Monmouth,
informed members of the Salem
Lions club Thursday noon that
the shortage of capable instruc
tors remains acute. He added
that many unqualified persons
who are now operating on a
permit basis must be continued
in the school system but capable
replacements cannot be found.
Dr. Kaplan estimates that be
tween 600 and 700 new teachers
must be found to replace those
who will not return next fall.
In addition 375 or 400 others
will be needed to care for the in
flux of children from other
states.
As against the needs as ex
pressed by the speaker, he said
that about 300 prospective ele
mentary instructors will grad
uate from the three state col.
leges of education and other in
stitutions this spring. Salaries,
Dr. Kaplan said, were much im
proved over the scale in 1940.
The YMCA boys' chorus, di
rected by Wes Bolllger, a Wil
lamette student, provided music
for the luncheon.
