-
night.
Audience reaction left no
doubt as to the first place win
ner. It was accordionist Lanny
Dibbern of 1470 Lancaster drive,
a Salem high sophomore.
While Dibbern was playing,
the capacity crowd continuously
roared approval. He was the
only performer in the whole
show to be called on for two en
cores, and the audience was
shouting for more after that.
There was only one question
about Dibbern's appearance:
Who worked the hardest Dib
bern as he played the accordion,
or the audience as they applaud
ed him?
Second place winner was Car
oline Miller, whose impersona
tion of Beatrice Kay was hilar
ious and a half. Vern Esch, who
sang "You're Breaking My
Heart" and "Dreamer's Holi
day" wound up in third place.
Esch had what veteran show-
goers call "the touch."
Also capturing the particular
fancy of the crowd were Betty
Jean Mullin and Robert Gwinn,
Willamette university vocalists
who teamed up on a couple of
romantic numbers. They work
ed together beautifully.
ihe other performers kept the
show clicking off smoothly all
me way.
Opening act was the precision
dancing of the Neill twins, whose
steps were as much alike as their
looks. Mrs. Elaine Fry, vocalist,
followed. She sang "Because" as
her regular number, then fen
dered a light ballad for an en
core. Her soprano voice was
well qualified for each type of
song.
Patricia Wheelan, whose Scot
tish accent was a definite high
light of the whole show, sang
and strutted "The Highland
Fling." Her encore was a sing
ing and dancing routine to
"Powder Your Face With Sun
shine." Immortal Al "Jolson
took the stage next in the per
son of Diane Bray. Miss Bray
went through the motions while
Jolson (on record) sang "My
Blushln' Rosie" and "You Made
Me Love You."
A debutante dance number
by Mary Kay Brown featured
sophisticated stepping. She
came back for a hula dance en
core, Allen Miller threw var
iety into the show with his as
sorted immitations of animals,
musical instruments, babies and
airplanes. The most serious note
of the evening was Janice Ol
sen's singing of "The Lord's
Prayer."
The Three Dancing Darlings,
a junior chorus line, took the
stage immediately after inter
mission. The little girls' dim
pies were as cute as the dancing
act itself. Acrobatic waltzing,
barefoot style, was presented by
Sandra Lee Allison. Graceful
ness featured Miss Allison's
dance.
Bill DeSouza's orchestra, who
donated their services for the
show both Monday and Tuesday
night and did a whale of a job
of backing up the performers,
did their best on "I've Got a
Lovely Bunch of Cocoanuts,
That wasn't the only special
number by the orchestra Tues
day, but the "Cocoanut" rendi
tion drew the most applause
DeSouza himself donned a wal
rus mustache and acted as co
coanut peddler.
Bobble Christlanson, who has
just turned 4 years old, sang
and danced his way into the
hearts of everyone. The little
sailor's budding tenor voice of
fered "Room Full of Roses" and
the little tike didn't drop a
word.
Mary Bourke closed the show
with a take-off on Sophie Tuck
er. She sang "Some of These
Days" and "A Good Man is Hard
to Find." Old-time vaudeville
fans could have sworn it was
Sophie herself on stage.
It was a terrific show, no less.

Governor Sets
Youth Week
n.-nn nnni. w.lf . t,.,
proclaimed January 29 to Feb
ruary 5 Inclusive as youth week
in Oregon. The governor said:
"Youth of the nation who par
ticipate in the activities of the!
Boy Scouts of America, Camp
Fire Girls, Girl Scouts of the
USA, International Society of
Christian Endeavor, YMCA,
YWCA, and the United Christian
Youth Movement are uniting in
the seventh annual observance of
youth week, January 29-Febru-ary
5, 1950, under the theme
'God Designs Youth Build!'
"I hereby designate the period
January 29-February 5, 1950 as
youth week in the state of Ore
gon and urge its observance by
all persons interested in the well
being of our young people."
Morse Files
(Continued from Page 1)
"The reasons for a bipartisan
foreign policy are plain enough,"
he said. Our basic objective is
to achieve and maintain inter
national peace and security in a
world of free nations devoted to
the protection of human rights
and fundamental freedoms. To
fulfill our obligations as a lead
er among free nations, we must
have a foreign policy that is
clear and consisten'."
Senator Morse pointed out
that the bipartisan policy receiv
ed the solid backing of the dele
gates at the Philadelphia repub
lican convention in 1948 and was
a part of the party's platform
adopted at that convention.
"That plank is still official re
publican policy" he said. "Those
within the party who sneer at
the bipartisan program need to
be reminded that differences
over means of implementing a
nited American position in in
ternational relations do not jus
tify scuttling the principle. Rath
er, the shortcomings which have
developed point out the need for
perfecting the mechanics of co
operation."
Criticizes Procedures
Although he severely criti
cized the habit of presidents and
secretaries of state entering into
understandings with heads of
foreign governments and leav
ing both democratic and repub
lican leaders in congress in ig
norance, he advised discarding
hindsight when charting future
course of action.
He made it clear that a bipar
tisan foreign policy does not
mean that members of congress
should hesitate to criticize any
proposed course of action con
templated by the administration
in the name of a bipartisan for
eign policy.
Senator Morse said that Im
mediate recognition of commu
nist China is not called for, add
ing that he has suspended judg
ment on the question of eventual
recognition of the Chinese com
munist government.
Mistakes in China
He expressed the hope that
America's mistakes in China
have not been such that histor
ians will be able to indict us with
some responsibility for the dis
memberment of Manchuria and
other segments of Industrial
China by Russia.
Turning to the fiscal condition
of the country the senator de
clared it "nothing short of out
rageous to have a $5 billion de
ficit in view of the present high
federal income and the healthy
economic condition pervailing in
this country.
"This is something the repub
lican policy committee can take
a bite into," he said.
Adoption by the republicans
as a matter of policy of the rec
ommendations of the Hoover
commission and the tax report
of the Committee on Economic
Development, was urged by Sen
ator Morse.
Tax Irregularities
He decried the inequities in
the present tax structure, de
claring that taxes should be
based on the ability to pay.
"The gross inequities in the
present tax structure," he de
clared, "is killing small busi
ness in this country." He also
urged repeal of wartime excise
taxes, which he declared were
Imposed for restrictive purposes
and still are restrictive.
Hearings are now slated on the
tax report developed by a group
of business men, tax and finan
cial experts.
"The report was ignored by
both democrats and republicans
in three sessions of congress but
will not be ignored in this ses
sion," he said. "The report is
sound and would provide revl
sion of the entire tax structure
on an equitable basis."
Senator Morse said that he
would be able to spend in Oregon
about one week in every month
between now and the primary
election, having arranged to
"pair" his vote on every import
ant piece of legislation that
should come to a vote during his
absence.
Senator Morse spoke to a large
group of Willamette university
students who packed Waller
hall. The greater part of his
half-hour talk was devoted to
the fiscal policy of the govern
ment, for the benefit of many
of the students present who are
studying economics.
Capital Journal, Salem, Ore.,
Pamphlet to Explain
Needs of Public Schools
Compilation of a pamphlet which will be used in educating
the public as to the needs of the Salem public schools in the
plant department is well under way, reported Superintendent
Frank B. Bennett during Tuesday night's session of the board
of directors.
The pamphlet will contain I
graphs indicating trends in
births and enrollment as well as
considerable explanatory mat
ter. The job is being handled in
the administration offices.
The board sanctioned the pur
chase of 75 robes for use of
the members of the senior high
school choir. The organization
has on hand $530 which can be
applied to the expense and ex
pects a concert in the spring
will go a long way toward rais
ing the balance.
Reports of water damage at
one or two buildings were made
by Director Gardner Knapp.
Frozen down spouts backed up
the water on the roofs, some of
it seeping down inside the walls.
An inspection is to be made by
directors, architects and contrac
tors to determine where tne
fault lies.
Membership in the Slate
School Board association was
authorized although under exist
ing laws no district can pay
dues to such an organization.
Until the statutes have been
changed membership will be on
an individual basis with each
director paying his own dues.
The board would like to see
McGilchrist street from High to
Church improved and author
ized the clerk to sign the
necessary petition.
Edw. A. Carleton, senior high
principal, was granted permis
sion to attend a conference of
secondary school heads to be
held in Denver, Colo, later in the
year. The conference is to be
an invitational affair with a se
lect group of educators attend
ing from over the entire country.
Repairs of damage done to the
Olinger field track caused when
the heating tunnel was exten
ded to Parrish Junior high school
will be made as soon as condi
tions warrant, the superinten
dent said.
Truman to Act

Hallie Hinges
(Continued from Page 1)
Anyway, it was in the early
'70s, and in the First Methodist
church, then a frame building
where the brick church now
stands. Her song was "There Is
a Happy Land, Far, Far Away."
In the '80s and early '90s she
studied under Prof. Z. M. Par
vin, dean of music at Willamette
university. At the age of 18 she
was graduated from Willamette
Conservatory. For a year she
studied in New York, and ap
peared there before critical au
diences. But her education in
music, except the training with
Professor Parvin, was mainly by
her own efforts.
Professor Parvin wrote a song.
"Only Remembered by What We
Have Done." Hallie Hinges sang
it at his graveside, and later at
many other funerals.
It is recalled that in the spring
of 1886 the "Cantata of the Fai
ries" was given by home talent
in the old Opera House. Adults
played the parts of the fairies.
Hallie Parrish and Leona Willis
were in the roles of twin birds.
Leona Willis became the wife of
Edgar B. Piper, late editor of
the Oregonian.
Sang in Oratorios
More mature appearances by
Hallie Parrish were as soloist in
Haydn's "Creation" and Handel's
"Messiah" when those oratorios
were given the first time in Sa
lem. That was in the '80s and
under the direction of Professor
Parvin. Acquaintances of those
days have often described her as
a young woman of rare beauty.
In later years she sang before
audiences of many kinds in
churches, "at celebrations, politi
cal rallies and conventions. Her
musical activity was not inter
rupted by family responsibilities
after her marriage about 1804 to
Dr. Charles H. Hinges.
A favorite with her audiences
was "The Star Spangled Ban
ner" as she sang it in her rang
ing soprano. It was her rendi
tion of the song that caused the
first President Roosevelt to con
fer upon her the soubriquet that
stayed with her through life.
Teddy Roosevelt Charmed
That was when President
Roosevelt came to Salem and
spoke at the state house, where
he was introduced by Governor
Georgo E. Chamberlain,
Only a few months ago Mrs.
Hinges recalled that occasion
and told how she sacrificed a
personal meeting with the presi
dent so she could be with her
baby.
"My baby, Karl," she said,
"was with my mother at the
ex-Gov. Moody house. I was
thinking more about him than
of Teddy Roosevelt. So I didn't
wait to meet the president and
passed up the reception In the
governor's office."
Tho governor was living at
the home of Nina Parrish, sister
of Mrs. Hinges. When the gov
ernor camo home in the evening,
he said to Mrs. Hinges:
'Why didn't you come to the
reception? You missed some
thing good." He told her the
president had asked the name
of the lady who sang, and had
said, "She has one of the most
beautiful voices I hove ever
heard."
"And," the governor added,
he called you the Oregon
Nightingale."
For 13 years she was soloist at
the State Fair with the Cherry
City band, directed by II. N.
Stoudenmeyer, and for four
years, in the summer season,
she appeared with the band at
the Salem Civic Center.
At Chcrrlans' Christmas Tree
She sang "Holy Night" with
Mary Schultz, violinist, and Prof.
Frank Churchill at the first il
lumination of the Cherrian out
door Christmas tree on tho
courthouse lawn in 1913.
For some years she was em
ployed as a singer in the Jewish
synagogue in Portland, and at
other times at the First Congre
gational and Presbyterian chur
ches of Portland, and at First
Methodist church of Salem.
In 1005 when she left for New
York with her mother, a fare
well concert was given for her
at the First Methodist church.
She was the mother of two
children, Karl Hinges, who died
in 1941, and Mrs. George W. Nel
son of Salem.
Surviving besides the daugh
ter are a sister, Mrs. E. M. Cox
of Seattle; four grandchildren,
Mrs. Elizabeth Nelson Adams of
Portland, George Nelson, Jr., of
Klamath Falls, Oregon, Jack
Nelson of Salem and Lt. Nor
man P. Hinges with the U.S. ar
my in the Panama Canal zone;
and two great grandchildren,
Susann and Mlchele Nelson of
Klamath Falls.
Funeral services are to be held
at the Virgil T. Golden chapel
Friday, January 27, at 2 p.m.
with Rev. George H. Swift offi
ciating. Interment will be in the
Lee Mission cemetery.
Present natives of the Prlbllof
