Plan Christmas
At Indian School
Chemawa Indian school pu
pils, the majority of whom are
not able to return to their homes
for the Christmas holidays, will
be provided with a program and
treats Wednesday night by the
Salem Lions club.
The club has performed a sim
ilar ceremony for a number of
years. Owing to the increase in
enrollment at the school some
607 pupils being registered, the
project this year assumed large
proportion. This is especially
true as far as the treats are con
cerned. More than a dozen men
worked last Sunday sacking the
candy,- nuts and oranges tkit
comprise each of the 670 bags.
Children of the employes of the
school will also receive the
treats.
Although senators, congress
men and governors of the states
from which the Indians come
have been extended invitations
to attend the program, it is not
anticipated any of them will be
present owing to the distance
they would have to travel.
The program will include mu
sic by a brass ensemble from
Leslie junior high school, a girls
vocal trio with accompanist
from Montgomery Ward; ven
triloquism by D. D. Dotson and
magic by Jack Spong.

Chief Warns for
Careful Driving
Recalling the threatening traf
fic conditions of the holiday sea
son last year, Police Chief Clyde
A. Warren went on record Tues
day with an appeal to Salem mo
torists to pledge themselves to
careful driving this year.
The dip in temperature and
icy streets this week were com
parable to conditions which
struck Salem the day before
Christmas in 1948. At that time,
several serious accidents were
reported in the area.
"We should remember that
Christmas is the time when we
want to extend our best wishes
to our friends not our sympa
thies," the chief said.
"Pedestrians should be given
the greatest consideration, and
those on foot should cooper
ate by not jay-walking and by
waiting for signals. Reports on
several pedestrians hit by cars
in Salem this month state that
many of them wore dark cloth
ing. This, combined with wet
pavement, results in poor visi
bility for the driver. Persons
so dressed should conduct them
selves with extra caution.
"The now trite slogan "if you
drink, don't drive" and vice
versa still tolls the story. Those
who do should be sure there's
someone else behind the steering
wheel.
"Records indicate that Salem
is on the brink of its best post
war record in traffic safety. All
we need is the cooperation of
every motorist and pedestrian
to go over the top."

Life Lost, Two
In Valley Fires
An elderly farmer was burned to
destroyed in separate fires in the Salem district Monday.
Zide McCashen, 74, received fatal burns about 4 o'clock in th
afternoon when a fire broke out in a farm home he had recently
purchased a short distance west
After his burned body hady
been removed and Scio firemen
left the scene, the fire broke out,
again and demolished the build
ing.
Though all the possessions of
the family were lost, Mr. and
Mrs. Gene Bronson and two-year-old
son, escaped injury
when their home was destroyed
in the Halls Ferry district ear
lier in the day.
The Scio fire was discovered
by Mrs. Carl Warren, of Scio,
who was passing. She roused
Mrs. Floyd McCashen, a daughter-in-law
ill with pneumonia,
but it was not until the fire de
partment arrived that it was dis
covered that McCashen had fall
en into the fireplace and had
burned.
N, S. Fulton, Linn county cor
oner, reported that the family
told him McCashen had recently
suffered heart attacks and it
was presumed he nad been
stricken and fallen into the fire
place or else had struck his head
on the mantle and tumbled into
the flames. His wife and son,
Floyd McCashen, were In Al
bany at the time. The family
recently moved to the Scio com
munity from Medford and had
purchased the rural home.
After the fire department had
returned to Scio the flames
broke out again and could not
be subdued, with the dwelling
razed. It was believed that the
fire had smouldered between
the ceiling and upper floor.
Besides his widow and son,
McCashen is survived by two
daughters, Mrs. Henry McDun
nah and Mrs. Gordon Toulouse,
both of National City, Calif.; and
three grandsons.
The Bronsons were asleep
when the fire broke out but
were unable to save anything,
including money and valuable
papers which were lost.
The property was rented from
Mr. and Mrs. Herbert E. Barker,
parents of Mrs. Bronson, who
live nearby. The family recent
ly returned to Salem from Cali
fornia where he had completed
a three-year enlistment in the
army. They are temporarily
making their home with the
Barkers.
