Hale Talks on
Naval Academy
The first year at the U. S.
naval academy at Annapolis,
Md., is far from enjoyable, ad
mitted Paul Hale, Jr., as he spoke
of his experience during Tues
day's luncheon of the Salem Ki
wanis club. A "plebe" has scar
cely any privileges or rights and
is the victim of a course of haz
ing prescribed by members of
the first year class. A seat on the
"green bench" is one of the fa
vorite tricks imposed on the
plebes" by the upper classmen.
The victim sits with his back to
a wall, with nothing beneath
him until he is permitted to
arise.
Sea cruises to foreign lands
constitute a part of the future
officer's training and in this
connection young Hale has been
privileged to visit Portugal and
countries around the Mediterran
ean. A trip aboard the Consti
tution, largest land based plane
in the world, was made by Hale
with stops being made at Seat
tie, San Diego, Dallas, Texas
and other points.
The final year at the academy
before graduation is devoted, to
considerable extent, to sum
ming up the three previous years
and to . acquiring leadership
Hazing of the "plebes" is not
forgotten, either.

mart, local realtor, plans to

Reported by Ireland
A sudden spurt in automobile

115 Youth for
Red Cross Camp
Some 115 boys and girls from
various parts of the state will
go to Camp Silver Creek Wed

including one of evacuation of
residents from an area threat
ened by forest fires. The Red

New Schools
Ready in Time
Assurance has been given by
the contractor that the eight
class room grade buildings now
under construction in the Capi
tola and Four Corners districts
will be completed in time for
occupancy when the fall term
opens Sept. 12. The school ad
ministration, however, will be
hard pressed to equip the rooms
with the necessary furnishings
by the time class work starts.
Personnel for the two buildings
has been secured.
A discussion of the situation
is expected to develop during
Tuesday night's meeting of the
board of directors, the last re
gular conference before the fall
term opens.
A special election is slated for
Sept. 12 when voters will deter
mine whether the Hayesville
district, north of Salem on the
Pacific highway, will be incor
porated in the Salem district.
Hayesville's school population
has grown to such an extent that
enlargement of its facilities is
necessary. However, construc
tion work is being held up pend
ing the outcome of the special
election. Consolidation would
mean that a portion of the pu
pils could be cared for in the
Salem schools.

Forests Ablaze
(Continued from Page 1)
In Maine more than a doz
en fires burned in brush slash
and timberland. Austin H. Wil
liams, deputy forest commis
sioner, said the state was fast
approaching the extreme
drought conditions of 1947. In
that year forest fires in Maine
cost 16 lives and $30,000,000
damage.
as new tires flared, weary
crews continued their battle
against days-old fires in other
mountainous western states.
In Idaho, some gains were
made after wind driven fires
roared out of controy over 14,
000 acres in the Payette national
forest.
Crews also reported progress
against a series of fires in Yel
lowstone park, but three other
fires still burned out of control
over 1,700 acres.
Near Shasta, Calif., foresters
put the torch to 3,000 acres of
grassland, hoping to back-fire
and slow a 7,000 acre forest and
grass fire. The main fire zone
there was in timber and graz
ing land of the Shasta and Mo
doc national forests and the Lava
Beds national monument near
the Oregon-California border.
This fire, which injured one
man Saturday, was being fought
by 700 men.
In Idaho, gains were reported
against a 7,500-acre fire in the
precipitous Hell's Canyon gorge
of the Snake river along the
Idaho-Oregon border.

Early Action Sought
On Mill City Road
The request of the county
court to the state highway com
mission for immediate construe
tion of the proposed new section
of the North Santiam highway
between Mehama and Mill City
on the Marion county side of the
river will get before the state
commision at the earliest pos
sible moment.
Such is the assurance given
the court by Secretary Glayser
of the commission in acknow
ledging the court's letter trans
mitting the request.
Secretary Glayser says he will
put the matter before the com
mission at the earliest opportun
ity. The letter in question called
the commission's attention to the
urgent need for the road with
discontinuance of the railroad
track into the dam area and the
need for an adequate road for
handling of heavy traffic to be
developed by the new North San
tiam highway as well as hauling
tne huge quantities of heavy
material which will be needed
in connection with construction
of the Detroit dam.

Adjustments
Fpr Principals
The establishment of new
buildings in the Salem school
system has brought about an ad
justment in the supervision of
the elementary division. As a
consequence a distribution of
the principalships has been
made so that several elementary
principals become the supervis
ory heads of more than one buil
ding.
Miss Gladys Tipton has been
designated as the principal of
the new Washington school lo
cated in the Capitola area and
of Middle Grove. Mrs. May
Smith will be principal of Gar
field and Grant schools while
Arthur V. Myers will be in
charge of the Lincoln building
being erected in the Four Cor
ners area and of Swegle and
Auburn. Miss Mathilda Gilles
will be the administrative head
of Richmond and Pringle and
Marion Miller will direct Salem
Heights and Liberty.
iach principal will have as
sistants who will assume con
trol in the absence of the ad
ministrator. Because of these
extended services it has been
found necessary to provide some
secretarial assistance. Secreta
ries are being sought who will
serve on a part time basis not
only in some of the schools men
tioned above, but also in some
of the larger elementary build
ings where enrollment and num
ber of teachers have increased
in recent years. Additional in
formation in this connection may
be had at the administration of
fices on North High street.
Army Buying
(continued Irom Page 1)
Hunt is the management coun
sellor whose activities led the
senate investigations subcommit
tee to order a general inquiry
into "five percenters" persons
who get government contracts
for others for a fee, usually five
per cent.
Feldman's Letter Read
Francis D. Flanagan, assistant
committee counsel, read two let
ters into the record. Both were
written by Feldman.
One letter was to Hunt. Dated
July 23, 1947, it accompanied the
information on army buying
plans. Witnesses earlier in the
hearing had told of this letter.
The second letter was to Brig.
Gen.. Wayne R. Allen. This letter
was dated November 19, 1947
when Allen was chief adminis
trative officer and purchasing
agent for the quartermaster
corps at Los Angeles. Feldman at
that time was a brigadier general
in the corps in Washington.
Feldman suggested that Allen
"drop a note to Colonel Hunt.
letting him know what the prob
lems of the county of Los Angeles
may be, for I am sure that he
could be of considerable help
to you if you can interest him."
New Cell Block
(Continued from Pnge 1)
Governor McKay said that the
question should be investigated
before any definite decision was
reached.
Newbry's Proposal
Secretary of State Ncwbry
suggested that the contract be
awarded this year without bids
and that dealers be notified that
next year the board will ask for
bids.
Decision on a site for the new
office building in Portland as
well as selection of an architect
is being made Tuesday afternoon
at an adjourned meeting.
Capitol Cooling System
The board authorized J. Don
ald Kroaker, heating engineer,
to submit estimates for extending
the cooling system, now being
installed at the capitol, to all of
fices on the first floor. The con
tract given the Western Engin
eering company did not cover
the entire first floor It is esti
mated that the cost will run be
tween $6,000 and $11,00 for the
additional installation.
Authority was given the board
of higher education to permit
lOo cars used by members of the
agriculture extension staff to
keep state cars at their homes.
A request that the staff members
be permitted to use the state
cars for "limited" personal use
was denied.
Payments were authorized of
$29,164.73 to Malarkey and
Moore for work performed in
July on new buildings at the
Girls' school and $3,398.41 to
Viesko and Post, architects, for
