Cows Regular in
Habits, Object to
Daylight Saving
Cows keep regular hours
and have regular habits.
They get up mornings, have
their meals, and submit to be
ing milked at the same hours
day by day.
So cows have no use for
daylight saving. And their
owners don't either.
The Oregon Farmers Union
mentioned these things in a
letter to the city council Mon
day night among all the other
inconveniences that daylight
saving causes the agricultural
industry. It just doesn't fit
into the agricultural scheme,
they said.
The letter was sent to the
Portland city administration
as well as to Salem.
Alderman Howard Maple
thought the letter should be
referred to Alderman Albert
Gille with instructions to make
a study of the dairy industry.
It was Gille who introduced
the daylight saving ordinance
last year.
Mayor Elfstrom and the
council said that since day
light saving isn't going to be.
an issue for some months yet
the letter should simply be
filed for future reference. That
was done.
Material for
Census Arrives
Material to be used by cen
sus enumerators in this district
has arrived in the city in 49
large crates and will be deliver
ed at the census office, 1020
Market street, at 9 oclock Wed
nesday morning.
The material is the portfolios
that the enumerators will carry.
The shipment weighs 3552
pounds, and Cornelius Bateson,
supervisor of the census for the
district, observed that "the cen
sus will be taken by the pound."
The portfolio contains sched
ules for count of population,
housing data, agricultural infor
mation and other things.
Upon delivery at the head
quarters the shipment will be
received by Vernon Loel Bartsch
of 1840 East Nob Hill street,
who has been appointed supply
and assignment clerk.
Bateson said the crew leaders
would go on duty March 7 and
9, and the last week in March
will be given to training the en
umerators. They will go to work
April 1.

Sues for $21,605
For Bums Rush
A man who was thrown out of
a beer tavern on November 4
1949, has sued the operators and
bartender of the tavern for $21,-
605 damages. A complaint was
filed in Marion county district
court Tuesday.
S L. Jespersen, the complain
ant, alleges that he was bodily
tossed out of the establishment
by Jack and Minnie Reimer and
Henry D. Palmer. The Reimers
operate the tavern, and Palmer
is employed there as bartender,
The complaint states that Jes
persen received a broken leg in
the scuffle, and that the de
fendants refused to offer aid
leaving Jespersen sprawled on
the sidewalk until a passerby
summoned an ambulance.
Jespersen claims he was forced
to pay $605 medical expenses
as a result of the injury. The
complaint seeks judgment in
that amount, plus $21,000 punt
tive damages.

Migrant Labor Issue
Members of the Salem Junior
Chamber of Commerce were
called upon Tuesday to under
take a project of study of mi
grant labor problems by John
Haukenson, chairman of a First
Congregational church group

The speaker, who contended
that the migrant worker prob
lem affects every person in Sa
lem and Marion county directly
or indirectly, pointed out that
Some 4500 migrant workers are
in this area during the peak of
the harvest season.
He emphasized thatysome 200
families are believed to be in
the area during the winter
months.
The pressing problems of the

housing, winter employment and
a community concern for the
problem, the speaker said.

Oregon Slow
(Continued from Page 1)
A low bid of $72,617 for alter
ations in the bathrooms of the
Eastern Oregon State hospital by
the Weaver-Stafford Construc
tion company was accepted by
the board.
A contract by the California
Oregon Power company to sup
ply the Klamath experiment sta
tion with electric power for 7
mills per kilowatt hour was ac
cepted. The bid was so low that
even State Treasurer Walter
Pearson, pro-public power ad
vocate, was surprised. The state
pays the Portland General Elec
tric company 7.8 mills for
power supplied to state build
ings in Salem.
Solicitation of state employes
for the American Red Cross cam
paign was approved by the board
and Harold Phillippe, in charge
of the accounting division of the
secretary of state's office was
appointed to handle the solici
tation in state offices.
The board approved the sec
ond payment on the 1949 flax
crop to growers contracting with
the state. The payment was $15
a ton for No. 1 flax and $12 for
No. 2, bringing the payments on
these grades to $45 and $36
ton. The board also approved
final payment on No. 3 flax at
$6 per ton, bringing the total to
$20.
Payments were authorized for

Council
(Continued from Page 1)
The Armstrong bill as origin
ally introduced applied only to
the existing I-C or Capitol zone.
But before being passed it was
amended to include the area
covered in the tabled bill.
The other bill that was tabled
provided that the height of
buildings in the Capitol zone
be limited to 45 feet. The coun
cil took the position that the
Armstrong bill would also cover
that.
The council ran into trouble
as soon as reading of the bills
was reached on the calendar
and an attack began from the
audience.
Herman Rieck, who has prop
erty at Capitol and Union,
where he has invested $26,000,
and wants to build a drive-m
restaurant, was represented by
Otto Paulus as attorney. Law
rence N. Brown represented a
business property owner in the

appeared for themselves.
Father T. J. Bernards of St.

the effect the bills would have
on plans for a costly new church
near Chemeketa and Winter.

Yes, the miners probably will

Gl's Ma Perkins Gets
Valentines From Vets
Mrs. Amv Perkins, Australian woman who befriended GIs dur
ing the war in her home country,
including Salem, to visit them, is
Mrs. Perkins was in Salem a
worked in a cannery to help
fectionately known by the GIsp-
as "Ma" Perkins.
She is still on her mission in
America, as the story below in
dicates.
Beaver Falls, Pa., Feb. 14 (U.R)
The Gl's own "Ma" Perkins
from "down under" is up for
more hearts and flowers this
Valentine day.
During the war Mrs. Amy
Perkins extended warm hospital
ity to hundreds of American sol
diers at her home in Brisbane,
Australia. Now, her "boys" want
to repay in kir with American
hosDitality.
One ex-serviceman, whom she
isn't due to visit for another
month, has phoned three times
from North Carolina lust to
make sure.
Curtis Wright assistant pro
fessor of French at Geneva col
lege, was host to "Ma" Perkins
at his Beaver Falls home during
the week-end. Wright first met
her Christmas day, 1943, when he
has was invited to the Perkins
home for a holiday dinner.
Mrs. Perkins staged a one-
woman international irienasnip
campaign.
She always Invited three
American servicemen plus an
equal number of "Aussies" for
the Christmas celebrations,
"All I had to offer was a warm
Australian welcome, a home
cooked meal and hospitality,'
she recalled.
This was the right prescrip
tion for home-sick GIs. They
returned to her home time after
time. Many kept up correspond
ence with her after leaving Aus
tralia.
They urged her to visit them
in the States.
Last June 30 Mrs. Perkins set
out for America because the trip
became "something I couldn't get
out of my system."
Waives Hearing K. J. Bern
ard has waived preliminary hear
ing in Woodburn district court
on a charge of obtaining money
by false pretenses, and is being
held for the grand jury in lieu of
$200 bail.
The government is standing by
with a wait-and-see attitude.
Federal officials apparently
hope that court-ordered contract
negotiations, resuming tomorrow
in Washington, will hasten the
strike s end.

Coast guard vessels were en-
route from Port Angeles and
Ketchikan.
For several hours develop
ments were hidden by military
secrecy. Capt. William Pratt, as
sistant public relations officer at
McChord air base, said instruc
tions not to discuss the B-3S
were telephoned by Brig. Gen.
C. S. Irvine, base commander at
Carswell. Later a spokesman at
headquarters of the strategic air
command, Omaha, Neb., con
firmed that the plane was miss
ing and took steps to break the
blackout of information.
The eighth air force at Fort
Worth said the distress calls
were relayed by another B-36
which also was flying from Elel-
son base to Fort Worth. The sec
ond plane was due to reach Cars-
wen iieia in mia-uiiernuun.
Distress Signals Heard
A military air transport plane,
bound for Seattle at about the
time distress signals were heard,
reported seeing a light flicker
and fade on Queen Charlotte
sound, eighth air force headquar
ters said. 5
McChord air base officers re
ported that the RCAF had been
given operational control of the
search, assisted by the U.S. air
force.
As the search progressed
planes were dispatched from dis
tant bases. Two B-29s were sent
from Fairfield-Suisun air baso
California. Two more were
dispatched from Great Falls,
Mont., where they had been
based in search for the missing

were sent from Spokane air
base.
Fourteen coast guard planes
were also engaged in the search.
