Among the signers from Sa
lem was John H. Scott, 1189
Court street, oldest surviving
member of the former county
judges of the county.
Miss Swart says she knows of
nearly $10,000 that would be
available toward aiding in an
endowment for her plan and
feels much more would be forthcoming.
She hopes to have her peti
tions in readiness before the
courthouse building commission
meets with the state capitol
planning commission next Mon
day to discuss the proposed new
courthouse in its relationship
with the capitol group and the
civic center. She plans to sub
mit them to the county court
and says her campaign is just
getting well under way.
Miss Renska Swart and the model of the Marion county
courthouse she displayed at the Oregon State Fair last week
gathered over 1000 signers to her petitions seeking to keep the
old structure intact at its present location. She would have
most of the county business transacted in a business building
on another site leaving the courts on the main floor of the pres
ent structure and the upper floors used for county museum
purposes. The courthouse model was made some years ago
at the behest of the late C. P. Bishop who furnished the funds.
Many Sign Petitions Calling
For Retaining Court House
Miss Renska Swart has checked the results of her state fair
campaign to secure backing for her plan to preserve the classic
courthouse structure and finds that 688 Marion county residents
signed her petitions to that end and 343 from outside the county.
But all of the 343 were either former residents or had some per
sonal reason for wanting to see-
that the building isn't doomed
The plan she is now advanc
ing is to keep the old structure
in exactly the spot where it now
stands. For county business she
would have the county purchase
a site for an office building, pre
ferably the half block between
Court and Chemeketa on the
east side of Church street and
facing on Chemeketa.
In the old courthouse she
would rearrange the first floor
for court-rooms and the balance
would be turned over to muse
um purposes which she declares
is "so much needed and would
be of great value to the people
of the county." In her original
plan she had suggested moving
the old structure to a corner of
the courthouse block and main
tained as a museum. She says
it may still be possible to move
the court house from its present
location if her other plan is not
deemed feasible and that she has
been in contact with Portland
movers who said the job can be
done.
Her campaign for names to
her petition waged at the state
fair was started on Thursday
and she says if it could have
been started the first of the
week she is sure thousands of
names could have been secured.
She carried it on in the art de
partment with a model of the
present courthouse as a back
ground with a field of stars. The
courthouse replica made from
small blocks of balsam wood
cost $2000 which was furnished
by the late C. P. Bishop and Wm.
B. McGee, artist and University
of Oregon staff member did the
work. This attracted the atten
tion of hundreds to her petitions.
Among the 343 signers from
outside the county was Norma
Bowman Fraser, who for years
lived at the old Dr. W. H. Byrd
home directly across from the
courthouse. She was a nurse in
Salem's first hospital and she
told Miss Swart of the distress
she would feel at dismantling of
the building.
Mr. and Mrs. Lynn Anglin of
Dallas and Mr. and Mrs. Ubrich
H. Neiger of Tillamook were
married years ago in the court
house here and they were eager
signers. C. K. Gabriel, Portland,
wrote after his name "this is
signed to preserve the Marion
county courthouse."

Lutherans at Aurora
Observe Anniversary
Aurora Members of Christ
Lutheran church of Aurora, are
preparing to celebrate the 50th
anniversary of their church's in
stitution with two special serv
ices to be held Sunday, Sept. 18.
Two former pastors of' the
church. Rev. S. F. Goldenman,
now of Mullan, Idaho, and Rev.
E. W. Kasten, now serving at
Wenatchee, Wash., will deliver
sermons at 1 1 a.m. and 3 p.m.
services.
During the noon hour mem
bers and their guests will join in
a potluck dinner in the church
parlors. In view of the large
number of guests expected, a
public address system will be set
up so that those unable to find
seats in the main auditorium
may listen to the services from
the parlor rooms.
A committee headed by the
pastor, Rev. H. Mau, has
combed church records and pre
pared a history of the church
from the time of its founding in
1899 to the present time.

Seek to Oust
City Manager
Albany, Ore., Sept. 13 W
The city council declined to take
any action last night on a peti
tion asking that City Manager
J. D. Baughman be asked to re
sign. Mayor Jess Savage told the
overflow crowd of ISO at the
council hall that the charges
against Baughman were too gen
eral. "I would like to have some
evidence if you have any." He
noted that the petition bore sig
natures of about 300 persons. He
said this was a small percentage
for a city of 15,000 population.
The petition charged that
Baughman, who became Alba
ny s first manager earlier this
year, had caused dissension
among city departments. This re
sulted in inefficient operations,
it said.
City Councilman Raymond
Barrett told the group: "The
city is much better managed
now than before he (Baughman)
came here."
The petition stemmed from
the recent resignation of Police
Chief J. O. Byerley and the dis
charge of Martin Holmes. In
noting this, Mayor Savage read
a letter signed by most of the
city policemen who had served
under Byerley. He said it
claimed Byerley's handling of
the police department had been
ineffective. Seven police officers
spoke in favor of the Baughman
administration of the depart
ment. He has taken over the
work as acting police chief un
til a successor to Byerley can be
named.

IGNORANT OF WHAT'S GOOD FOR HIM
Man Eats in Age Brackets
And Not Too Well at That
Chicaeo (U.R) Man's ignorance of what is good for him to eat
leads him through a series of "gastronomic eras," a nutritional ex
pert says.
Human beings in their span of life go from soft-boiled eggs and
milk to soft-boiled eggs and milk, Dr. Ouida Davis Abbott of the
University of Florida told an
audience here.
Dr. Abbott listed Iter "gastro-
nomical eras" as:
The childhood stage with its
suckers, popcorn and ice cream,
and all-day suckers.
The school age with its hot
dogs and pop.
The college age with its ham
burgers and coffee, plus more
hot dogs.
The post-college age with its
cocktails, bouillon, roast duck
and creamed broccoli.
The business age with its wie
ner schnitzel and cheeses.
But then you're right back
where you started and your diet
consists of soft-boiled eggs and
milk.
There's no reason for it, Dr.
Abbott declared.
For no extra money, people
could eat things that are good
for them, merely by knowing
what to buy, she argued.
She advocated more schooling
in the field of nutrition.
"Even in agricultural col
leges," she maintained, "every
animal under the sun is studied
except the human animal."
Dr. Abbott also blamed the
pace of modern life for man's
ignorance and Indifference as to
what to eat. "This high tension
world" people live in nowadays
destroys their appetities so that
they lack the incentive to search
out what might be good for
them to eat, she said.

Demo Senators
Declare 'Not I'
Portland, Sept. IS W) Four
democratic state senators from
Multnomah county have said, in
effect "It wasn't I."
They were referring to char
ges by Sheriff M. L. Elliott that
two unnamed state democratic
senators had warned he would
have trouble hanging on to his
office unless he used the sher
iff's office in raising a party war
chest fund for a gubernatorial
campaign.
The campaign, Elliott said,
was to have been in behalf of
State Treasurer Walter Pearson.
The state official yesterday said
Elliott s story was ridiculous.
State Senator Jack Bain said
he was positive it wasn't he
who Elliott meant. State Sena
tor Austin F. Flegel, Jr., said he
doubted the whole story.
Senator Thomas Mahoney de
clined to "dignify" Elliott's char
ges. Senator R. L. Neubereer
said "I'm sure Mr. Elliott's sto
ry is untrue."

Get Gasoline
From Shale Rock
By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE
(Associated Press Science Editor)
Rifle, Colo., Sept. 15 (Pi
New cliff dwellers have return
ed to the Rocky mountains the
U.S. bureau of mines men who
have solved how to get oil
cheaply out of shale.
The bureau has discovered
how to assure the United States
of enough gasoline for centuries
by making oil at a cost no more
than petroleum.
The main secret is new min
ing methods developed In the
cliffs.
Instead of using ladders, these
modern cliff men go up in bull
dozers, 30-ton trucks, electric
shovels, compressors that have
12 wheels side by side and tower
trucks resembling fire apparatus.
These huge machines climb
a five-and-a-half mile hairpin
turn road up the side of a moun
tain to sheer cliffs of colored
marblestone shale at 8200 feet
altitude. There they drill a cor
ridor big as a church straight
into the solid rock, and spend
their careers quarrying vast
rooms deep back in the rock.
Many new mining techniques
have been developed. Now one
man produces more than 100
tons of broken rock a day where
