New Facilities for Crowds
Arranged for State Fair
By C. K. LOGAN
With the 84th State Fair opening less than two months away,
the grounds are already the scene of activity as preliminary im
provements are well under way.
The "greatest show in Oregon" opens September 8.
Rest room facilities are being Increased and new accommoda
tlons available for patrons of
the horse show In the stadium.
A new rest room for women
is being completed in the south
west corner of the stadium
which can be shut off from the
outside during the evening
shows and be made available for
those within the building. Spe
cial rooms above are being
equipped to permit out-of-town
horsewomen to change their
clothes on the grounds instead
of dressing at private rooms
downtown. A rest room, minus
the second floor arrangements,
was opened for men at the
northwest corner of the build
Ing last year.
Rodents Eliminated
With new additions the
grounds now have more than
100 toilet bowls and in addition
the Oregon fair is one of the
few shows in the country, par
ticularly where racing is offered,
where linen towel service Is pro
vlded, according to Leo Spitz
bart, manager.
After three years of concen
trated effort John Yrika has suc
ceeded in eliminating gophers
and moles, particularly at the
race track. Should one stray on
to the grounds, it Is quickly
spotted and eliminated by the
alert Yrika, who kept track of
the casualties until several hun
dred had been killed. At times
it was literally possible to jump
from one mound of dirt to an
other in many parts of the
grounds.
New drinking fountains have
been installed beneath the
grove" of three large oak trees
just west of the main stadium
entrance and the area is being
mapped for the exclusive use of
youngsters.
Since last fair TO acres of
parking space have been plow
ed, smoothed and planted with
a mixture of English rye and
alta fescue grass. Increase of the
parking area is Impossible due
to the location of the grounds
which are now surrounded by
suburban properties or the high
way and railroad tracks.
Raee Course Superb
Race men who have visited
Lone Oak track pronounce the
racing and ground conditions as
excellent. The outdoor stage,
upon which the night ahows are
presented in front of the grand
stand, will have an entirely new
setting this year.
Attention will be given short
ly to the outdoor area utilized
by exhibitors and the entire
space within the race track, with
the grass cut and to be heavily
irrigated.
Sufficient men have been em
ployed to take care of things
until shortly before fair open
ing date on September 5, but
applications are now being re
ceived from men who wish posi
tions as ticket takers, sellers and
for the parking of automobiles
on the grounds.

Better-Built Bathing
Suit Sought By Star
Hollywood W) Actress Vir
ginia Mayo is hunting for a
better-built bathing suit today.
She says the one she wore the
other day was peeled off by an
Inconsiderate wave, in the surf
near Malibu, leaving her attired
only in salt water and embarr
assment. Miss Mayo was rescued by a
friend, Mrs. Audrey Kirsch
baum, and a beach towel. A
photographer happened to be
near by and got two or three
pictures of the scene, after the
towel was in place. Press agents
at the actress' studio vowed
they had nothing to do with the
accident.
PRIEST OFFERS EXPLANATION:
Farm Home 'Disturbances',.
Due to 'Guardian Angel'
Lively Grove, 111., July 11 (U.fi) Mysterious "disturbances" at
the home of farmer Tony Greten were described by a Roman
Catholic priest as the work of the "guardian angel" protecting
Greten's son, Jerome.
The Rev. Edward Dahmus, theologian and parish priest at
nearby St, Llbory, said that-
from the evidence he has gath
ered, he believes the manifesta
tions are caused by an "angelic
spirit" assigned to guard 10-
year- old Jerome from harm.
And from the crytlc messages
written on paper in Jerome's
room, Dahmus said he believes
"that the angel at one time in
his long existence probably had
assumed a human form."
see
Dahmus said the last "spirit
manifestation" at the Greten
home took place last Sunday.
Previously they had occurred
17 times, starting on May 1.
All the manifestations were
witnessed by Greten, his wife,
and at least eight of their 10
children, ranging in age from 10
to 20 years.
The office of Bishop Albert
Zuroweste at Belleville, 111.,
who assigned Dahmus to con
duct an Inquiry into the unusual
occurrences, said it would await
a complete report before issu
ing any statement, if at all.
Dahmus said the fact that the
manifestations centered around
Jerome, plus the spirit's written
statement that it loves "Mary,
the Mother of God," indicates to
him that it is the boy's "guard
ian angel."
Dahmus said he was there a
number of times when they oc
curred, and neighbors in the lit
tle cross-roads community were
present at others.
e '. e
The priest said that on Tues
day, May 31, he asked the spirit,
in the presence of the entire
Greten family, to write its name
on paper placed beside the boy's
bed. A large "X" appeared on

the paper written with the
crayon that had been left near
by. Dahmus said that from pre
vious replies which the spirit
had written In responce to ver
bal questions, he Interpreted
that toemean the question was
acknowledged but refused.
Dahmus asked: "Did you ever
have a human body?"
The answer on the paper was
"X Yes."
Dahmus said he thinks the
"X" represents refusal to answer
at first and the "Yes," written a
brief moment later, indicates
that at one time the spirit was
sent on a mission to earth in
bodily form.
see
Dahmus said all the questions
were verbal, repeated by Jer
ome, who placed the paper on
the floor between his bed and
the wall each time. A green
crayon was left on the floor and
the answers were written with
it.
The priest said the boy would
lie quietly in the center of the
double bed after placing the pa
per, while the others in the room
kept their eyes either on the
boy or on the space between the
bed and wall.
A number of times, Dahmus
said, the crayon was thrown
across the floor, beneath the bed,
in response to what the priest
said he later came to regard as
smart aleck questions."
