Check Usage of
Parking Meters
A survey to determine usage
of parking meters in fringe areas
of downtown Salem will Degin
the week following the Ameri
can Legion convention in Salem,
Police Chief Clyde A. Warren
disclosed Saturday,
The first study will be made
on a block basis by checking
the amount of money taken in
by the meters. Chief Warren
suggested that additional studies
would be made with sections of
each block if the original infor
mation failed to be conclusive.
The study is to be made to
find an answer to questions
which arose when the city mana
ger applied for additional funds
for the purchase of new meters.
At that time, it was suggested
that meters in certain fringe
areas were not being utilized to
the fullest extent.
In line with the proposed
study, the chief disclosed a
change in department schedules
which will enable one man to
conduct the survey.
Under previous arrangements,
the city collected parking meter
cash and cared for the timing
mechanism by detailing night
patrolmen for the work.
Under the new budget, a re
lief employe for the radio de
partment will spend three days
each week working with the me
ters and the other three work
ing days with the radio room
In the past the relief worker
was hired on a part-time basis
three days a week.
He will wind the meters on
one day and make collections on
the other two days devoted to
that phase of his employment.
Befs PaldOff,
If Didn't Rain
Waynesburg, Pa., July 30 ()
Waynesburg s citizens ruefully
hung up their umbrellas today
and started paying off bets they
made that it would rain as usual
on July 29.
It almost always rains in
Waynesburg on July 29. But yes
terday, for the sixth time in 72
years, there was nary a drop of
moisture.
Everyone waited for it all day
long. And no one waited for a
rain cloud more eagerly than At
torney John M. Dally, official
"rainmaker" for this little west
ern Pennsylvania community of
8500.
Daily has a traditional bet
with Vince Johnson, Pittsburgh
(Post-Gazette) newspaper col
umnist that when the 29th day
of July rolls around, there'll be
rain In Waynesburg.
Daily lost his hat to Johnson
for the second straight year yes
terday. But Rainmaker Daily
didn't give up through the
whole sunny day.
At nightfall he even talked
the city council into ordering
daylight saving time suspended
for an hour at midnight. That
gave him 25 hours to save his
hat and an old Waynesburg tra
dition. But it wasn't enough.
"I'm dog tired and discourag
ed," said Daily.
"People have been kidding me
a lot why I've had 'phone calls
from all over the country."
Daily had plenty of support
during his fruitless rain vigil.
Some 3000 . persons crowded
borough streets in a last minute
"rain carnival." But they loin
ed Daily In paying off debts at
midnight.
Dally called the rainless day
"a temporary bad break.
"Sure," he said, "I'll take all
comers next year we 11 have a
downpour."

Friday when $375,000 bonds were voted by the district. The

Woodburn Approves School
Bonds With Record Ballot
Woodburn, July 30 Voters of the Woodburn school district
approved a $375,000 bond issue for a school construction program
and also selected a site at a record breaking vote Friday.
The bond issue was approved 432 to 301 and the so-called
Henry Miller site 408 to 261 for the Lenners track. Nearly 750
ballots were cast, some not vot-1
lng upon both questions,
The vote upon the site is not
binding and was merely advis
ory, having no legal weight.
However, members of the board
Indicated today that unless there
are unforeseen circumstances, it
will be guided by the wish of
the majority of voters.
The preferred site is on the
Newberg-St. Paul highway at
the junction of the Boones Fer
ry road and just outside the city
limits. The Lenners track is lo
cated between the Legion ball
park and the highway.
While voting was brisk during
the day, it increased as the clos
ing hour approached with many
remaining in line for 20 minutes
before they could mark their
ballots.
The new building is designed
ultimately to provide a recon
structed elementary and junior
high school, a new high school
to accommodate 300 students
and a trial farming project. The
program is to be completed by
September 1950.
The new building will be one-

New Farm Bill
Washington, July 30 (IP) Sec
retary o f Agriculture Brannan
has promised senators full coop
eration on any farm price-support
plan they draft.
But he also has ruled out any
"compromise" on his own plan
to let prices of certain perish
able farm products find their
own market level, with farmers
getting treasury subsidies if
necessary.
Chairman Elmer Thomas (D
Okla) of the senate agriculture
committee gave a reporter a co
py of a letter from Brannan. It
spelled out Brannan's views on
the farm legislation situation.
Brannan's letter indicated ir
ritation at r e p o r ts by Thomas
and other members of the com
mittee that Brannan has had no
new proposals to offer.
After the house overwhel
mingly defeated even a trial run
of the Brannan plan last week,
the secretary was called before
a closed session of the senate ag
riculture committee for sugges
tions. Most senators who attended
this closed session, including
Thomas, quoted Brannan as
saying he felt "frustrated" by
congressional rejection of his
proposals. Senators said they
pressed Brannan for alternatives
without success.
The next day Thomas, after
another closed session, announc
ed that a seven-man subcommit
tee headed by Senator Anderson
(D-NM), which held public
hearings on1 the Brannan plan,
would draft compromise legis
lation without Brannan's help.
