Judge Aids Bailiff in Setting
Up Haven for Alcoholics
Seattle, Aug. 17 U.R After watching a quarter of a million
alcoholics shuffle past on their way to jail cells or back to the
streets, Bailiff Archie McGrath got fed up.
He and Seattle Municipal Judge John H. Neergaard put their
heads together and figured out a scheme for reclaiming hopeless
alcoholics at a cost of $1.29 a
day per head.
The plan didn't work out
quite as expected. The reclaimed
men paid their own way and
also the cost of those who fail
ed. To begin with, the bailiff and
the judge took three basic prin
cipals of human life food,
clothing and shelter, and fitted
them to a theory of their own.
Their theory was that if a
man with a disease gets well,
he'll get restless and want to go
to work.
After operating for 18 months,
McGrath ticked off the follow
ing statistics:
Since Dec. 1, 1947, a total of
384 men have been treated at
what is now incorporated as the
Seattle rehabilitation center.
Of that number, 110 men
have returned to steady drink
ing. But 274 men got started
on a new life. One hundred and
thirty-five of them have jobs
in Seattle now. The bther 139
have spread across the country,
"to Alaska and even Arabia. They
are keeping in touch with Mc
Grath by mail and all of them
have been on the wagon at least
seven months.
The rehabilitation center be
gan with a flat of empty rooms
in a three-story frame building
across from police headquarters
and 16 men who had been drink
ing steadily from three to seven
years. No more.
The rooms were donated by
a bail bondsman who owned the
building. The men were donated
by society, through Judge Neer
gaard. Five members of the local Al
coholics Anonymous organiza
tion raised $800 to fix a leaking
roof and agreed to indoctrinate
the men with A-A procedures.
McGrath got the first consign
ment of food, furniture and
clothing on the cuff.
After the men moved in, Mc
Grath and Judge Neergaard sat
back and waited for them to get
restless. They had no idea how
long it would take a man to get
Fined $1000 for
Stealing $10.90
Wausaw, Wis., Aug. 17 OI.R)
The $10.90 that Peter Knutson
embezzled from the Northwest
ern State bank at Cumberland,
Wis., cost him $1000 today.
Knutson, 56, of Forest Lake,
Minn., pleaded guilty in federal
court yesterday to two counts
of embezzling from the bank
when he was its cashier. Dis
trict Judge Patrick T. Stone
placed him on probation and
fined him $1,000.
U.S. Attorney Charles Cashin
said, however, that Knutson had
admitted that in addition to the
$10.90, he also helped himself
to about $12,000 in bank funds
over many years but paid it back
recently.
Barber Shop Opening

union shop, Paul Carroll, pro
proprietor, announces. The new

back the strength lost hitting
the bottle over a period of years.
In two weeks they found out.
Eight men asked for jobs and
got them. They began paying
$10.50 a week for board, which
paid for their food and clothing
and for the other eight men too.
It also gave them a feeling of re
sponsibility. As soon as one of the remain
ing eight went to work, another
man came out of jail.
There are only two rules for
living at the center: One don't
drink inside. And two if you
drink outside, don't come back.

Long Lasting Articles of
Today Don't Please Some
By SAM DAWSON
New York, Aug. 16 tP! Products good for a life time or a
reasonable facsimile thereof are beginning to worry some folks.
If goods last forever, doesn't it put a limit on the market for
replacements? Can some of the drop in retail sales, production
schedules and raw material demand be traced to the longer life
consumers are getting out of old
products? '
It may be fine to own a neck
tic good for a lifetime fine that
is, if your wife doesn't get the
willies looking at it across the
breakfast table every morning.
But how about the haberdasher?
Even things that won't last a
lifetime, are lasting much longer
these days than they used to.
People don't turn in their autos
for new ones as quickly now as
they did 20 years ago.
And what about The pettycoat
situation? Many a merchant can
remember when his grandmother
wore more pettycoats at one
time than the modern girl has
hanging in her wardrobe for a
full year's supply. Nowadays,
of course, girls go in more for
slips.
So let's look at slips. If we're
to believe the ads, it's theoreti
cally possible now for a career
girl to get by with one nylon slip
and one nylon nightgown. She
washes the gown in the morning
and the quickdrying nylon is
ready to don when she gets home
at night. So she washes the slip
and goes to bed. In the morning
the nylon slip is dry and wear
able. This could go on indefinite
ly replacements coming along
in rythym with the yearly fash
ion changes in the length and
fullness of dresses.
But what about the poor mer
chant? He sells one slip and one
nightgown to a gal who used to
keep at least 'two week's supply
ox each on hand.
Stockings last longer nowa
days, too, they say. Good news
for everyone but the hosiery
mills.
And menswear is not immune
to the trend. Shirts and under
wear of nylon, they tell us, can
be washed even by a clumsy
male, hung up to dry, and be
Postal Unit to

The unit August 1 was chang

would serve about the same
number of men as found in a di

Postmaster Albert C. Gragg and

Stayton Airstrip
Appointment of a special com
mittee to further an airstrip for
Stayton marked another step
in this direction this week when
W. M. (Jack) Bartlett, Salem,
director of the state board of
aeronautics, spoke at a meeting
of the Stayton Chamber of
Commerce. Also on the pro
gram were Ralph Scroggin,
owner of the Lebanon airport
and Floyd Johnson, Troutdale
aircraft dealer.
Oregon now has more privately-owned
planes than any other
state on a per capita basis, Bart
lett pointed out. There are 1400
licensed aircraft, he said.
Scroggin told of the develop
ment of the Lebanon airport in
the last four years with 35
Dlanes now housed in 23 hangars
as compared with two small i
planes when the airport opened.
Establishment of an airstrip
would also place Stayton on the
geodetic survey maps, he said.
Named to the committee by
F. M. Forrett, presiding in the
absence of Fred Camp, presi
dent, were Don Roach, Wilbur
Lesley and G. W. Schachtsick.
