Parking Meters Considered
By Silverton City Council
Silverton Aside from the members of the city council consid
ering petitions from the junior and senior groups of the Cham
ber of Commerce, at the week's meeting, the requests in the
petitions having been referred to the city planning commission,
the question of installing parking meters as a trial test was
decided.
The council believes the me
ters will solve the congestion
in parking question, and add
revenue to the city.
The parking meter ordinance
No. 384 was passed on its first
reading. Mayor Clinton Weiby
appointed George Christenson
Reber Allen and George Wies
ner as a committee to invest!
gate types of meters used in
other towns and to recommend
the most suitable for Silverton
needs.
The down-town restricted dis
trict would require arount 185
meters, which would be instal
led without cost to the city, as

A six-inch pipe line was or

HARM NICHOLS LEARNS
Man With 251 Women
Has Not a Chance at All
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
Washington U.ra The ladies of the press I love 'em, mostly.
They'll thank you for a coke and then turn around and scoop
you. Sometimes they'll outrun you on a running story. They'll
thumb-tack your ears and rib
you when you pull a boner.
I'll take my chances against
the gals one or three at a time,
but deliver me when the odds
are 250 to one. That happened!
when I was a guest of the
Women's National Press club.
Another guest was Tallulah
Bankhead, the professional
actress and amateur politician.
Come to think of it, that made
it 251 to one, since the deep
voiced mistress of the boards
had done a few little pieces for
the public prints herself.
sledge hammer. A chipped
piece flew Into on eye and de
stroyed the nerves In both.
He learned piano tuning and
the Braille system at the state
school for the blind at Janes
ville, Wis., where he met his
wife.
She used to crack hickory
nuts and leave them on his desk.
He learned to recognize her in
those early days of romance by
her footstep.
Mrs. Wagner has 50 per cent
vision In one eye and less in the
other. Last summer she retired
from Janitor work at White
water State Teachers college
after 28 years.
She has described hundreds of
things for her husband things
which he never had seen when
he had sight.
An airplane," he says, "is
like a big bird sailing along with
a propeller turning like a wind
mill." Some things like trees
and birds, Wagner can recall.
His wife said she had always
been willing to describe things
to him "everything but pretty
girls."
They have three grown chil
dren. One son is principal of
Norwich Conn., Academy; the
other son Is assistant superinten
dent of schools at West Haven,
Conn. Their daughter lives at
Flint, Mich. The Wagners have
three grandsons and three
granddaughters.
Wagner and his wife reveal
ed the secret of their long and
happy marriage on their golden
wedding anniversary day. Mrs.
Wagner said, "Whatever he says,
I say 'yes.' "
Wagner, enjoying one of the
early warm spring days, said,
"Whenever we had an argu
ment, I went for a walk."
Leave for Iowa
Silverton Mr. and Mrs. C. J.
Towe and Mr. and Mra. Ed Over
lund left Monday by car for a
month's stay at Fort Dodge,
Iowa, to visit at the home of a
daughter of the Towes and a
niece of the Overlunds, Mr. and
Mrs. Lacy Harmon (Dorothy
Towe). Relatives of Mrs. Towe
and Mrs. Overlund, sisters, will
be visited in Albion. Nebr., and
Overlund in Janesville, Wis.
Anyhow, the only notes I got
out of the thing were taken
while Miss B. was making a 10
minute speech. My Jottings run
like this:
"Said she was nervous. Chain
smoked while talking, with
leading man acting like jack-in-box
Jumping up to light her
cigarettes. She bawled him out.
Confessed to weighing 135
pounds when 11 years old.
(Hasn't gained much since Ed.)
"Pulled a few good gags; a
lot not so good. Swore a couple
of times. Something's happened
to her southern accent. Affects
Broadway stage talk. Like 'loff
etc. Said she talked back, in a
friendly sort of way, to Dr.
Kinsey who wrote a 'report.'
"Said some kids think all they
have to do to get a midnight tan
under the great white way,
which is Broadway, is go to
drama school. You've got to go
out and do it meaning acting."
I don't take very good notes,
but maybe you get the idea of
what she said in her speech.
After that, Tallulah fired an
other cigarette and took off her
specks. She said she was ready
for a question and answer period.
1 cleared my throat a little
and made ready to shoot a good
one at her. But, as I said, a
man doesn't have a chance.
Before a fellow could spell
Bankhead" backwards, one of
the lovelies asked the lady from
Alabama what kind of shampoo
she uses. There was a chorus of
titters, mostly soprano. Every
body in the room knew that
Miss B. is suing a well-known
soap outfit, alleging that using
her front name in a singing
radio Jingle was causing her em
barrassment. Tallulah got around that rath
er nicely by saying she washes
her hair with another well
known product, which I shall
not mention.
Again, I tried to fire a ques
tion. Again I got side-swiped
by a lady of the fourth estate
who bounced to her feet to ask
