Rickreall Location Chosen
For Polk County Fair Site
Dallas. Feb. 17 Purchase of a 23-acre tract of land at Rick
reall as the future site of the Polk county fair is announced by
the fair board through Joshia Wills, secretary.
This step will move the fair from its Monmouth location to
Rickreall sometime after this year. Plans are going forward to
hold the fair at Monmouth dur-'
ing the coming summer because
the new site will not be develop
ed in time to hold it at Rick
reall
The new site is located just
south of Rickreall on the east
side of highway 9BW. The tract
was purchased from Harry
Dempsey of Rickreall and eight
acres In the east end of the prop
erty was traded to George Esau
for eight acres belonging to Esau
located on 99W. The trade gave
the fair site considerably more
frontage on the highway.
Purchase price of the site was
$7500 and the trade was nego
tiated at no extra cost.
Wills stated that development
of the site would start after plans
for layout and buildings were
completed. Architects at Oregon
State college will be consulted
on the arrangement of the
grounds, he said.
Representatives of Granges
and Farmers Union voted some
months ago In favor of moving
the fair to Rickreall if a suitable
site could be found there. The
board acted in accordance with
their wishes and also feels that
the new site Is centrally located
to the bulk of the county's popu
lation. .
On the fair board are Eldon
Riddell, Monmouth; L. M. Mc
Bee, Liberty; and Clarence Prim
us, Independence. Wills, al
though secretary, is not actually
member of the board. The
Monmouth fairgrounds are own
ad by a Monmouth fair committee.

Shortage Is Found
In Census Takers
Albany Preliminary work
on the 1850 census here got un
der way this week as federal
officials began setting up an
organization to question every
person in Linn county between
April 1 and April 21.
Ray Feves, a census bureau
official of the seven-county dis
trict office in Eugene announ
ced -Wednesday that a total of
more than 50 workers will be
needed to cover Linn county.
In Albany 35 staff members
will be based, and 15 more will
work out of Sweet Home, he
said.
School for enumerators will
be conducted at the chamber
of commerce office here for a
week starting March 27, a simi
lar school at the same time
will be held at Sweet Home.

Logging Community
Served by Railroad
Dallas The logging commun
ity of Valsetz will have to de
pend on the Valley and Siletz
railway for communication with
the outside world for several
days at least.
This was evident when Judge
C. F. (Jack) Hayes said that the
county court had closed the Val
setz road from Falls City. The
thaw has so softened the road
bed that further travel would
ruin the road, he said.
Judge Hayes said that the
court closed the road after an
inspection trip over it Monday.
Places where heavy rip-rap
rock had been worked in last
year were holding up well, but
other spots were very soft.
The Valley and Siletz con
nects the logging community
with Independence. Length of
time that the road will be closed
depends on the weather, the
judge stated.

Discovery Points to Method
To Foretell Arterial Hardening
By RENNIE TAYLOR
Berkeley, Calif., Feb. 17 UP) A discovery which may lead to the
development of a test that will tell whether a person is going to
have hardening of the arteries was reported today by a group
of University of California medical researchers.
In the blood of 101 out of 104 persons who had had attacks of
coronary thrombosis, a frequent
result of arterial hardening, the
experimenters found three kinds
of giant molecules which were
either scarce or lacking in the
blood of normal people.
This single finding does not
yet form sufficient basis for a
specific test, said Dr. John W.
Gofman, who headed the re
search team, but it may point
the way toward one. The re
port will be published today in
the Journal Science.
Doctors have no way of telling
definitely in advance whether a
patient is destined to have arteri
al hardening.
Given advance warning, doc
tors might be able to combat
the disease more effectively. Or,
a blood test might eventually
yield Information on the cause,
and in turn give medical science
Fred Allen Wins
Battle of Taxes
Boston, Feb. 17 W.I9 Comed
ian Fred Allen won his tax bat
tle with the state of Massachu
setts Thursday,
more chances to produce an ef
fective treatment or even a cure.
The research team examined
more than 600 humans.
In the blood of women under
40 the three suspicious kinds of
molecules were either scarce or
entirely absent. In men under
40 they were found in about
every third individual. About
half the people over 40 years
old had them. They were found
in large numbers in diabetics,
in whom arterial disease is com
mon. In the 101 coronary
patients the concentration was
relatively high.
All the people except the coro
nary patients and the diabetics
were in ordinary health. The
extent to which they harbored
these suspicious molecules
agreed closely with the statistics
which show arterial disease by
sex and age groups. This is the
tipoff that the discovery may
lead to a Diood test.
State Tiz Commissioner Hen
ry F. Long officially but grudg
ingly Informed the Cambridge
born comic he's not a resident
of the bay state, but New York.
That meant Long couldn't col
lect the $90 yearly from Allen's
trust fund if the one-time jug
gler died. Long is a revenue
hound who seldom lets a tax
dollar slip by.
But the news was sweet music
for the 53-year-old Allen, who
staged a comic-opera battle with
Long last December to show he
hung his hat in New York,
though ht was bred In Massa
chusetts.
Alien wai women buuul a
two-state fight over the Inherit
ance taxes from his estate after
his death. So he petitioned
Long more than two years ago
to change his legal address
