Grand Champ Fat Hog
Goes at 5 5 -Cent Price
By CLAUDE STEUSLOFF
Bidding was slow but sale averages were only 12 per cent
under last year at the seventh annual Lions club sponsored 4-H
club fancy fat stock 'auction which brought the annual fall show
to a close last night at the State fairgrounds.
Interstate Tractor company bought the grand champion fat hog
at 55 cents per pound, 5 centsc
more than last year's champion I. . . .
sold for. He was a 180 pound
purebred Berkshire, pasture
grown, finished on oats and corn
by 16-year-old Hichard Schaef
er of Aumsville. The pig gained
1 pounds per day at a feed
cost of $15.70 per 100 pounds.
A. C. Haag & Co. set the beef
division top at 40 cents in buy
ing the reserve champion steer
fed out by Clara Tschantz of Sil
verton. Haag also bought the
grand champion fat lamb for 55
cents, just half the price paid
last year. Exhibited by Pat Hen
nies of Turner the lamb weighed
95 pounds and was sired by a
Southdown ram from a Dorset
Hampshire crossbred ewe.
Safeway took the grand cham
pion steer on a bid of 38 cents
per pound. Last year the cham
pion steer brought 50 cents. Bob
Banick of Brooks who fed out
both animals figured the cost on
his 1940 model was 31 cents per
pound. The steer had been fed
on corn, oats and barley for a
solid year, gaining two pounds
per day in the process.
Twenty-one sheep brought
$640.39, averaging 35.97 cents
per pound; 17 hogs totalled
$902.31, averaging 29.68 cents
per pound; 22 steers, all Here
fords, sold for $5405.84, for an
average of 29.02 cents. Last year
the sheep averaged 37 V cents
per pound, hogs 36 and steers
33.9 cents. The sale total ran to
$6948.54,
Safeway and Valley Packing
company each purchased 10 as
sorted animals. Interstate Trac
tor company with nine, A. C.
Haag & Co., who took eight and
Reiling Slaughtering company,
Silverton, . buyer of four steers
were other consistent bidders.
Mrs. Nancy Peed of Pedee
bought several lambs,
L. J. Allen, state 4-H club
leader, observing the sale with
the nearing State Fair fat stock
sale in mind, said the somewhat
lower price scale had been anti
cipated. He pointed out, how
ever, that 4-H sale stock is of
high quality and feed costs as
well as original purchase price
often runs considerably higher
than normal.
Anthol Riney, county 4-H
club agent, was well pleased
with the sale and expressed ap
preciation for support of outside
buyers. Tom Pomeroy, chairman
of the Lions club sale commit
tee, assisted .Riney on the plat
form. Ben Sudtell, Albany auc
tioneer, who volunteered his ser
vices for the third straight year,
ran through the list in a little
less than two hours. Lane Sud
tell of Salem acted as ring man.
Attendance was 250.

ended Friday night have been
announced as follows:
Herdsmanship: 1 Busy Beef-
HtAP BIG INJUN
Don Smith Likes to Whittle,
And He's Carving Out Career
Just about every American, at some time in his early youth,
loves to play "cowboys and Indians." - , '
Don Smith, who is now 15 years old and lives with his par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Smith, at 310 Kapphanan road, was
no exception. But Don did a much more thorough job of it than
lust ridine broomsticks and
shooting cap pistols.
In fact, Don still finds time to
play Indian occasionally.
Being an Indian isn't entirely
make - believe for Don. His
mother's father was a Cherokee,
which makes him one-eighth In
dian. He has won recognition
beyond Salem and his story was
told recently by the Eugene Reg
ister Guard.
He has been adopted by the
Nez Perce tribe of Indians, who
gave him the name "Lelooska."
That means "the whittlcr," a
title to which Don certainly is
entitled.
"Lelooska" has been weilding
a whittling knife ever since he
has been able to hold one in
his hands. His countless hours of
whittling have paid off in the
pieces of wood carvings and
enough medals and ribbons to
decorate the whole inside of his
tepee.
Don doesn't confine his In
dlon activities to whittling, how
ever. For years, he has been
making an extensive study of
Indian habits and customs, and
can speak several Indian lan
guages. And when "Lelooska" gets in
a celebrating mood, he can dress
up in his bright Indian para
phernalia and war dance, Beat
the drums and utter Indian
chants like an old veteran red
skin. .
.,.
. Don, who stands 5 - feet 5
inches tall and-: weighs 260
pounds, doesn't especially look
like an Indian, except when he
dons his bright -warpaint.
In private life, he's just plain
schoolboy Don Smith. And he's
exceedingly adept in the cap
acity of scholar, too., Don was
president of the Parrish junior
high student body last year, and
established a creditable academ
ic record.
As for his future plans Don
still wants to follow his Indians,
After graduating, from high
school, Don may accept either of
two jobs already offered him.
He may become a display arran
ger at the Smithstonian insti
tute, or join the National Geo
graphic staff as an artist.
He has already proven his
worth as an artist. One of his
pictures now hangs in the Car
negie Fine Arts galleries in Pitts
burg. Don's interest in curios must
be contagious. His father recent
ly sold a service station in order
to open a curio shop in Salem.

Dies of Injuries
Carlton Adolph Ginhold, 40, of
2785 Pioneer drive, died in an
ambulance while being brought
to Salem Friday from Detroit
where he was operating a cater
pillar tractor for Consolidated
Builders, Inc., general contractor
for the Detroit dam.
Ginhold was on a side-hill on
the Linn county side of the San
tiam river when the blade caught
a root and upset, rolling down
75-foot grade into a power
shovel. He was released by Lor
en Johnk, shovel operator, Paul
Mitchell and Paul Gregory, CBI
employes.
A company ambulance after
taking him to Mill City for em
ergency treatment started Gin
hold to Salem and was met by
a Salem ambulance four miles
this side of Mill City and
transfer effected. He died a few
minutes later. Besides a skull
fracture he received a mangled
leg and his right arm was nearly
torn off.
Investigation of the accident
was carried on by John C. Sum
mers, Albany, deputy Linn coun
ty coroner; A. E. Messing, Gates,
representative of the state acci
dent commission, and R. Bates,
safety superintendent for the
contracting firm.
Ginhold is survived by his wi
dow, Mrs. Marie Ginhold, Salem:
a sister and two brothers, all in
the east. The body is at the
Clough-Barnck mortuary.
The world's record for sub-
freezing temperatures is believ

registered by thermometers in

ary, 1892.

Gardner Gels
Big Surprise
Archie Gardner, Salem mink
farmer, was probably the most
surprised man in the country
when he stepped from an air
transport at Logan field in Bos
ton, Mpss. to be met by news
papermen and a battery of ca
meramen. Someone had. notified the
Boston press that Archie Gard
ner was on board. They thought
that he was the "Archie Gard
ner of Duffy s Tavern fame
on the radio and a fitting recep
tion planned for such a distin
guished character.
Anyhow, the Salem Archie
Gardner came in for a two-col
umn picture in the Boston Post
and an accompanying writeup.
He was in Boston to attend the
convention of New England
Mink Breeders' association and
that he believed it good business
to travel 3000 miles to meet with
other breeders.
tfardner got in a good "plug"
for the Oregon industry, telling
the east coast reporters that he
raised about 2000 fox minks on
his farm each year and that he
was a director of the Oregon Fox
and Mink organization.
