TOUCH OF FAME ON MARKET
'Harry Truman Stood Here'
-Inauqural Wood for Sale
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
Washington, Aug. 15 (u. People will pay for almost anything
' that has touched the person of the great or near-great.
. Bobby-soxers rip the shirts off the backs of the crooners and
sell the pieces to other teeners;
"Washington slept here" places
'charge admission; a gin mill in
North Platte, Neb., gets a big
house from tourists as result of
a sign out front which reads:
Buffalo Bill drank here."
And here in the capital, a
wrecking and building material
company has bought up all the
lumber that was used to seat the
thousands who attended Presi
dent Truman's inauguration last
January
It is 'being resold to private
home builders. Sam Mostow,
busy manager of the Ace Wreck
ing and Building Material com
pany, says business is good.
One family bought planks
from the platform on which the
little man from Missouri stood
when he solemnly swore to
faithfully execute the office of
president and to the best of his
ability to protect and defend
the constitution. ' '
Another family bought lum
ber from the platform where the
president and his vice president,
Alben W. Barkley, stood and
watched the long parade and
sipped coffee and tipped their
silk toppers at each nassing car.
The Ace people know quite
bit about that lumber since
they had the contract to tear
it down after the inauguration.
They bought the whole business
from Skinner & Garrett, who
had purchased it in the first
place and erected the stands.
...
It comes in slabs running
from two by six inches to two
by 12.
In all there was 700,000 board
feet of fine white pine just the
thing for presidential sitting and
standing, and fine stuff to go
into a new home.
The Ace company wouldn't
say what it had to pay for the
lumber, but Sam Mostow grin
ned when he said he didn't
expect to lose any money on the
deal.
Parking Rule Changed
Hubbard Thalia ' Rebekah
Lodge met for a brief business
session. Mrs. Ella Becker, noble
grand presided. An announce
ment was made that the build
ing had been posted to the ef
fect that all automobiles must
be parked ten feet from where
there is no curb. Following the
meeting most of the members
present held a hot cake supper
m the yard of Miss Frances
Weaver and her mother.

cous comedy, "The Taming of
the Shrew," starring Alta Wil
son of Reno Nev. and Richard
Graham of New York.

been delighted with the fantasy
Midsummer Nights Dream,'
featuring 15 youngsters who ap
pear in fairy roles alongside
more experienced actors. An
gus Bowmer, founder and pro
ducing director of the festival,
continues to bring down the
house as the lovable Bottom, the
weaver, complete with ass's
head.

i ole. The revival of the tragedy
"Othello" finds Jane McArthur

Landmark Disappears The historic old John E. Lyle house,
built in 1858, and the old oak trees which surrounded it have
yielded to progress at the corner of Levens and Ellendale
streets in Dallas, as Barham Bros., contractors, of Salem
break ground for the new Lyle elementary school. Descend-'
ants of the pioneer feel that he would have been happy to
know that his place is being used for educational purposes
for he was instrumental in starting some of the first educa
tional institutions in the county. He opened Jefferson insti
tute on the Carey Embree donation land claim in 1846. With
in a year, the modern school, bearing his name, will stand
as a monument to the work of pioneer school teachers. (Abel
