Lady Aerialist Here in 1S93 Miss Hazel Keys
announced that she and her renowned performing monkey,
Jennie Yan Yan, would stage a free balloon ascension
at the fairgrounds. Capital Journal of 56 years ago proclaimed
that this "grand balloon ascension and double parachute
jump would be made by the most daring lady aerialist In
the world. Miss Hazel Keyes, who will astonish all be
holders by her marvelous and graceful parachute descent
from the clouds to the earth." On a clear day, October 26,
1893, 500 or 600 people who had taken the new electric
cars to the fairgrounds gathered for the 3 o'clock event.
Miss Keyes accompanied by Jennie Yan Yan reached an ele
vation of about one mile and descended after a 12 minute
flight about a quarter mile from her take off. Everyone,
ays the Capital Journal, was well pleased with the exhibit
and the performance was repeated on Sunday. The picture of
Miss Keyes and Jennie Yan Yan with the balloon was made
by Trover and the negative is in the state archives.
EXPRESSES PERSONALITY
Woman's Hair-Do Described
As 'Distinctive Trademark'
By JACK METCALFE
Hollywood (U.R) Feminine styles being what they are, there's
an inclination on the part of the little woman to re-model herself
as often as the bank account can take it, or oftener.
Hair-dos a la mode are no exception, but actress Margaret
Sullavan is lending the long-paying men some moral support in
"'ihis department.
Miss Sullavan is an advocate
of what can be called the consis
tent coiffure.
The individual style in
which a woman wears her hair
can really become a distinctive
trademark," Miss Sullavan observed.
If it brings out her best fea
tures, there's no reason in the
world to change just because a
fashion dictator tells her to."
And she practices what she
preaches. Fans who see her in
Columbia's "No Sad Songs" will
look at the same hair style that
graced her classic face when she
made her last movie some 13
years ago.
In the years that saw the page
boy and long bobs and the revis
ed shingle sweep into popularity
and then die out. Miss Sullavan
has clung firmly to the top-knot
that, she says, expresses herself.
"I like it so well I've worn it
in everything since I was in
'The Mortal Storm'," the Broad
way star said. "Some actresses
even wear three or four differ
ent hair styles in a single f,'m.
Not I."
There are the cases of a num
ber of other lovely ladies of the
atrical history who used the
same sane approach to the prob
lem of tresses, Miss Sull , .
said, to help prove her point.
Take Irene Castle, whose
Castle bob became as world fa
mous as the ballroom dancing
star nerself. She still sports the
mode she originated.
And there's Mary Pickford,
whose long blond curls didn't
hamper her career as "Amer
ica's Sweetheart." She has short
ened the tresses, but the curls
still cluster about her head.
And Greta Garbo. Her shoul
dcr-length bob vied for dodu-
larity with her "Ay tank Ay go
nome." it still does.
"After Veronica Lake comb
ed her hair out of her eves."
mused Miss Sullavan, "I wonder
if she didn't have ouite a strug
gle re-establishing herself as a
distinctive screen personality."
Nels Stewart of the Montreal
Maroons scored two goals In four
seconds against the Boston
Bruins in 1931 in Montreal.
Portland's Grid
Plan Held Up Again
Portland, Nov. 12 ) This
city's one-way traffic grid sys
tem in the midtown sector faces
another postponement likely
until after the first of the year.
City officials said traction
company officials report the de
livery of new busses, to replace
rail trolley cars, can't be expect
ed until Jan. 1 or later. The
council earlier had set Nov. 25
as the deadline for removal of
street cars running in directions
opposite to planned one-way
traffic. Streets already have
been painted, however, already
funneling the bulk of the traf
fic along the planned directions
ef one-way routes.
Thanksgiving Set
Nov. 24 by Truman
Washington, Nov. 12 U.
President Truman today asked
the American people to give
thanks Nov. 24 that the United
States has enjoyed such plenty
that it has been able to aid other
nations.
In his formal Thanksgiving
day proclamation, the president
said the times demand more
than the wisdom of man can pro
vide." He recommended a Thanks
giving "plea for divine guidance
of the leaders of our nation and
the leaders of all other nations
in their efforts to promote peace
and freedom for all men."

A SACK OF
Oust Matthews Says
Marine Leaguer
Reno, Nev., Nov. 12 W") Clay
Nixon of Seattle, national com
mandant of the Marine Corps
league, says Secretary of the
Navy Matthews should resign.
Nixon told a league meeting
here last night that Matthews
should quit "regardless of who
is right or who is wrong in the
present controversy over mili
tary unification."
The Seattle attorney declared
"Matthews is an able, honest
and patriotic citizen but he is
not a navy man, and I do not be
lieve he ever will feel the kin
ship to the navy, vital to the suc
cess of his office. If for no other
reason than that, the navy will
not accept him."
He took a crack at the army,
too. He said it was "determined
to abolish the marine corps in
every phase, by the gradual pro
cess of nibbling at appropria
tions, and to render the navy a
mere auxiliary to defensive or
offensive warfare."
No Body Found;
Suspect Freed
Pasadena, Calif., Nov. 12 W)
No body was ever found. So
Edward H. Evans, who police
said confessed a slaying, walked
off scout free.
A murder charge against
Evans was dismissed yesterday
as Superior Judge Joseph A.
Sprankle, Jr., said: "It is un
fortunate that the law requires
the corpus delecti, even though
the police have a confession. But
if it didn't a man might be con
victed in spite of himself."
Evans was accused of killing
Capt. Frederick Moore, deputy
U. S. marshal, in 1947. Evi
dence especially the victim's
body was lacking, the district
attorney's office conceded.
Moore disappeared, police re
ported, after an argument in a
restaurant to which he had gone
in connection with a lawsuit. De
tectives dug and dug in nearby
San Rafael hills, at Evans' direc
tion, but never were able to lo
cate the particular tree under
which Evans told them they
would find the marshal's body.
Portland Unemployed
Jump 48 Per Cent
P6rtland, Nov. 12 (fl5) Port
land unemployment on Nov. 1
had jumped 48 percent above
the same period a year ago.
The state employment office
reported 19,200 persons were
seeking jobs. This was 1200
higher than the month previous.
Office Manager James H. Ba-
gan blamed the decline in food
processing jobs for the month's
jump.
Lebanon The annual father-son banquet sponsored by the
90 and 9 men's brotherhood, attracted approximately 150 to
the Christian church. Rev. Len Fishback, pastor of the Bend
Christian church gave the evening address. Mr and Mrs.
Walter Knaff of Salem furnished vocal numbers, as did
the Lebanon high school male quartet. Rev. Lynnton El
well, of the Lebanon Christian church, was toastmaster.

School Notes
Canada Building Huge Radar
System to Warn of Raids
Ottawa, Nov. 13 W) Canada is building a huge radar system
which would give warning against possible air attack on her
big cities and other vital targets, a government white paper re
vealed today.
The defense paper, outlining Canada's preparedness program,
said the radar system is being
developed to cover "certain vital
approaches and areas."
Radar stations costing from be
tween $2,500,000 and $3,500,000
each were planned, the paper
said, to give early warning of
the approach of enemy aircraft
that jet fighters and anti
aircraft guns could be alerted
toward off attack.
The paper said the fear of a
world war between east and
west had been moderated dur
ing the past 18 months, but said
Canada was continuing a full-
scale defense program. The na
tion's potential industrial cap
acity for war, it revealed, is
twice that of 1939.
Heavy emphasis was being
placed on air power, the paper
said, and orders worth $75,
000.000 had been placed for this
year for planes and parts al
most four times the value of
orders last year.
Speaking of the country's role
in the Atlantic defense system,
the paper said the "defense of
Canada and of western Europe
are ultimately one operation."
The paper, which was sub
mitted to the House of Commons
by Defense Minister Brooke
Claxton, said Canada's plans did
not envisage a dense curtain of
radar such as Britian and Ger
many had during the last war.
But there would be some sta
tions in the vast northern terri
tory. Most will be situated to
protect big cities and key tar
gets.
Other preparations for pos
sible fighting in the Artie were
reported. The paper said the
army had developed new snow
traveling sleds and vehicles, new
anti-freeze and heated caboose
like huts mounted on sleds and
Suspension Lifted on Prof.
Who Spanked 17-Year Girl
Sharon. Pa., Nov. 12 U.R The Hicknrd township board today
lifted suspension of a male teacher who paddled a pretty 17-year-old
sophomore and sulking faculty members agreed to resume
extra-curricular activities.
The compromise ended the "strike" of 30 teachers who ap
proved of Walter McDonald s
irrcgular" method of maintain
ing order.
McDonald, a teacher for 16
years, was removed as senior
class advisor after he paddled
Betty Ann Colapietro, a comely
brunet, in a school corridor be
fore several wide-eyed students.
He claimed she disregarded his
orders to stop jumping up and
down and be quiet. Whether Mc
Donald used his bare hand or an
object to administer the padd
ling was kept secret by the
board.
But Russell Path, a humane
society official who inspected the
spanked area while Betty Ann
was bearing a bathing suit, clas
sified the whipping as "severe."
He said she suffered bruises and
welts.
McDonald admitted he "made
a mistake" at a closed hearing.
The board, however, placed him
on probation with the warning
that only his past excellent rec
ord saved him from being dis
charged.

The faculty immediately jump
ed to McDonald's support with a
resolution relinquishing all dir
ection over shcool plays, radio
shows, assembly programs, pub
lications, class dances and other
outside activities.
The teachers charged indig
nantly that girls held no special
exemption from paddling be
cause of their sex and said they
would "accept equal responsi
bility and equal punishment"
with McDonald.
Mrs. Joseph Colapietro, Betty
Ann's mother, had demanded
that the school board "kick Mc

daughter. But the board said the
"misunderstanding has been ad
justed."
