Report Success
Lebanon, Sept. 30 Local
Chamber of Commerce officials
who participated In the Cascade
highway caravan to Portland
were gratified at the response
In the Rose City to the caravan
appeal.
Nearly S00 Portland business
men who had gathered in the
Multnomah hotel ballroom to
hear the case-Davidson CVA de
bate, listened to the Cascade
president, Art Shaffer of Scio,
report on the purpose of the auto
trek.
The Cascade supporters rose
in a body after Shaffer's address
to be met with enthusiastic ap
plause by the luncheon throng.
The members had seated them
selves at different tables
throughout the room, so that all
in attendance were personally
(contacted. Each guest was given
a' brochure of the Cascade High
way association.
After the CVA debate, several
prominent politicos discussed
the highway proposition with
Cascade members.
Charley Parker, chairman of
the Lebanon Chamber of Com
merce inter-city committee, stat
ed: "Our trip to Portland was a
real success, and gathering there
in the Multnomah hotel proved
to be about the most strategic
target we could ever hope to
find for that type of a publicity
campaign. I am certain that we
are going to get the active sup
port of the Portland Chamber of
Commerce from now on.
The local man added, "We
were asked at the meeting by a
member of the state senate com
mittee on roads and highways
to present our prospectus to that
body. Now that Is certainly a
measure of what kind of an Im
pression we made in Portland."
Lebanon drivers included
Parker, Don Henthorne, Clair
Cook and Cortis Stringer.

Dayton Health examinations
were held at the Dayton grade
school gym and 260 students

safety and civilization.
His successful struggle for
survival in one of the wildest,
most remote regions of Alaska
gave new hope to rescue groups
continuing the search for the
fourth member of the party,
bush pilot Francis Brownfield.
The two other members of the
expedition, O'Donnell's wife,
Mae, and Earl Bogel, had made
their way to the sheep mountain
civil aeronautics administration
station September 16.
O'Donnell, who took off with
Brownfield September 5 to
search for better hunting coun
try, said their light plane was
damaged while attempting to
land on a sand bar in the Talk
eetna Suisitna river area.
I never saw Brownfield
again after he took off to have
the plane repaired, saying it
would never get off the ground
with two aboard," O'Donnell
said.
The hunter said he decided to
try and reach civilization on the
third day after worrying about
his wife and Bogel who were
also Isolated in rugged terri
tory.
I started down the Talkeetna
river which cut through deep
gorges in extremely mountain
ous country, sometimes making
only two miles a day, O Don-
nell said.
"I shot one caribou and a
moose and ate berries on the
way. I slept on the ground ex
cept for two nights in abandon
ed prospector's cabins and had
to keep going even after my
feet gave out."
The hunter's first "request af
ter his ordeal was for a cigar
ette. He is now under doctor's
care.

Lebanon, Sept. 30 Appoint
ment of C. E. Brown, Lebanon,

Flax Growers, was told thir
week by Walter Shelby, presi
dent of the association's board
of directors. Brown formerly

department of agriculture for 10
years and also served as county

COVERS ARE COLLECTORS' ITEMS
Tablet covers shown here were collected from old established
companies still in business, among them the firm founded by the
inventor in Pennsylvania. Today, these school necessities are sold
in the multiple millions all through the year and are as widely used
in the nation's remaining 79,000 one-room schools as they are in the
modern consolidated districts. Only a few slates are still in use.
Today's tablet tops reflect current interests. They are likely to
picture movie stars, the latest airplanes, often conservation or
educational messages.

It was the greatest legion of young people

Many young people had in their possession

Subcommittee members will
recommend that the full com

Spokesmen toX the subcom

still to be solved was whether
the committee should set out in
its bill the projects to go for

to list them in the committee
report which would not have
the force of law.
Officials of the two federal
agencies Involved said it is
agreed that work would go for
ward during the three-year peri
od on 13 reclamation projects
and about 25 engineer projects.
The list will not be announced
until the committee takes final
action.
The full committee meets
again tomorrow after failing to
agree today on how to tackle
the Columbia river problem.

Stomach Ache Ends Jaunt
Of Check-Cashing Boy, 14
Santa Monica, Cal., Sept. 30 (UP) A stomach ache today ended
a four-month adventure of Leon Washington, 14-year-old Long
Island City, N. Y., youth who started traveling after cashing a
$270 check for his mother.
Police awaited word from his mother to determine what to do
with the negro boy.
He "gave himself up" to Of
ficer Clarence Hansen with the
complaint that he had a stomach
ache. At Santa Monica hospital
it was learned he was suffering
from stomach cramps due to mal
nutrition. According to the boy's story,
his mother sent him to a grocery
store to cash the check four
months ago. The grocer gave
him $100 and told him to come
back later for the balance. He
did but in the meantime spent
some of the -money. ,

lad said, so he got a bus ticket

A navy spokesman, asked to
comment on Commissioner Sul

"All I can say is that these

in an area that was restricted to
the general public. It was re

"I don't believe the lives of
