Early School Days Ended;
Structure Is Dismantled
By ANNA POWELL
.. Silverton As a bit of, news, it might read like this:
. "Ferd Rue of Pratum has bought the Center View school
building, is dismantling it, and building a house on his ad--Inininff
acreaee . . . etc."
Matter of fact, if several other families in the Center View
-district naa nave peen as proline
as Ferd Rue's parents, even un
to the third generation, this Cen
ter View school would still be
a center of education.
Folks like Karl Haberly
whose father and mother, whose
brothers and sisters, and whose
own children attended Center
View in the identical building,
still in fine shape, that was
built in 1878, as well as many
others in that district who can
claim three generations attend
ing school there, feel sort of
homesick that the school build
ing of so many memory stimu
lations, should go the way of
perhaps too modern for mem
ones.
For the past several years
there have not been enough chil
dren In this community of
school ag to have school ses
sions. Attendance be g a n to
dwindle shortly after the first
World War.
Members of the Rue family
parents, Knute and Helen Neri-
son-Rue, and children that at
tended Center View, included
Sylvester (now a minister)
Lawrence, Victor, Ferdinand
LeRoy, Esther, Ruth, Orlando,
Phillip, Waldo and Norman. As
many families in number are
still in the district, but the chil
dren are not to be counted

Hear Baruch, Plea
Of Kenneth Wherry
Washington, July 29 U.R Re
publican Leader Kenneth S.
Wherry asked the senate appro
priations committee Thursday to
hear elder statesman Bernard
M. Baruch before reviving the
administrations foreign aid
money bill.
After four days of heated de
bate, the $5,573,724,000 appro
priation measure was sent back
to committee late yesterday on a
parliamentary technicality.
With an eye to fresh testi
mony, Wherry said he would
like the committee to hear
Baruch, who had some critical
comments on the Marshall plan
when he returned from a visit to
Europe this week. The finan
cier and adviser to presidents
said the foreign aid program is
"not as effective as it should be."
He indicated a belief that
Europe might help itself more
if the United States helped less.
Stewart Named
Polk Official
Dallas, July 29 The final
step in giving Polk county a full
time health officer came when
the county court appointed Dr.

head of the health service. Selec

proved by the state board of
health.
The new officer plans to take
over his official duties August
15 but his first week in his new
capacity will be spent at state
headquarters of the board of
health in Portland where he will
be oriented with the duties re
quired. He will follow that up
with a week of field training
with a county health unit at
some valley point.
Members of the county court
state Dr. Stewart is highly re
garded in the West Salem area.
He has been a practicing physi
cian there for several years and
will continue to reside at his
home on the Orchards Heights
road for the present at least.
