Fire Escape Law
Of '47 in Effect
State Fire Marshal Robert B.
Taylor, in a statement issued to
day, called attention to the
amendment to the fire escape
law enacted by the state legis
lature in 1947 which requires
that all unprotected vertical
openings in all buildings three
or more stories in height in
which people sleep, shall be
safely and properly enclosed not
later than July 5 of this year.
Included among such occupan
cies coming within the scope of
the act are hotels, rooming
houses, apartment buildings, hos
pitals, nursing homes, boarding
schools and the like. The assist
ance of apartment and hotel and
hospital associations as well as
other groups and organizations
is being enlisted by the fire mar
shal to make sure that the re
quirements of the law are under
stood by all who come under
its provisions.
Designed to assist in avoiding
the occurrence of large loss-of-
life fires which have stricken
communities in other parts of the
United States, the act provided a
period of grace of three years
from its passage in order to per
mit the necessary changes to be
made in existing buildings. This
grace period expires next July
5 and Fire Marshal Taylor ex
pects conformity by all affected
structures by that time.

Papas Show Skill Top picture, men prepare to pin diapers
on babies' in a diaper derby at Hollywood theatre Friday
night; bottom picture, it's all over but the bawling. Some of
the earlier finishers hold up their babies to show the crowd
results of their dexterious diapering. Some of the babies can
be seen to be losing diapers already.
Kitzke Winner in Diaper
Derby in 6.7 Seconds
By CHRIS KOWITZ, JR.
A dozen men stand poised for action ... a signal from the of
ficial . . . they're off!
No, it wasn't a track or swimming event. It was the diaper derby
at the Hollywood theatre Friday
on the baby as quickly as possible.
After a wild scramble of fly-
ing elbows, bawling babies and
evasive safety pins, J. A. Kitz
ke of 1177 Court street was ad
judged the winner. He securely
pinned a diaper on daughter Jo
laine in just 6.7 seconds.
Jolaine's diaper stayed on, too.
Some of the other early finish
ers suffered a mild catastrophe
when the baby was held up to
be exhibited to the packed thea
tre crowd.
Second best diaper pinner-
onner was Don Shaff, Salem,
route 5, and son Douglas. Fin
ishing third was the crowd s fav
orite, 12-year-old Willard Vin
cent of 1145 North Fifth street,
who exhibited plenty of exper
ience as he whipped a diaper on
baby brother Terry Lee.
Next, in respective order,
were Chuck Hodgson, 482 North
18th, diapering friend Georgia
Baker; and Fred Landt 465 Co
lumbia, diapering son Ricky
All in all, the diaper derby
brought laughter from the aud
ience, a determined frown from
the papas, and a chorus of as
sorted squawls from the baby
Janes and Juniors.
Also on the Hollywood thea
tre program Friday was the ap
pearance of three of the acts
which are to be a part of the
American Legion s Kiddie Kar
nival next Saturday night at the
high school.
A youthful trio comprised of
Donna Whitacre. Julian Beane
and Thurman Kramer sang
"Dear Hearts and Gentle Peo
ple"; Eddie Syring, 11, played
some be-bop boogie on the piano,
and for a kid hi.', age, Eddie is a
true artist of the ivory; Ken
Tiernan, 5, gave his rendition of
"That Lucky Old Sun," without
dropping a single note

Her husband as well as au

Marquis Childs
Talks on Truman
Eugene, Feb. 18 (Pi Presi
dent Truman no longer has a
group of economic advisers
around him. His council of eco
nomic advisers have become pol
iticians and not real advisers,
Marquis Childs, Washington cor
respondent and noted columnist,
told the 31st annual Oregon
press conference Friday.
Childs said that a number of
noted economists who have been
approached to head the council
have turned down thr job be
cause the role of "yes iran" does
not appeal to them. The colum
nist also lashed out at the grow
ing reluctance of President Tru
man to release information to
tho press.
"President" Truman has come
to feel about the press more or
less as President Roosevelt felt
towards the end of the new
deal," said Childs. This is re
fleeted in a tendency to avoid
press conferences, withhold in
formation i and look upon the
press as intruders and not con
veyors of information to the
public.
The columnist feels that not
enough information regarding
the hydrogen bomb has been re
leased to permit the public to
form an intelligent opinion re
garding its use. He also called
for more interpretive reporting
on the part of newspapers and
less reliance of official hand
outs.
At the annual banquet in the
evening, gold keys, given as
Voorhies awards, were present
ed to eleven publishers or rep
resentatives. Names of the men
who were honored for outstand
ing newspaper service in the
state, appear on the original
Voorhies plaque and the keys
are a new form of personalized
award.
Those honored were Harvey
W. Scott, C. S. Jackson, Asahel
Bush, Amos E. Voorhies, Eric
W. Allen, Charles A. Sprague,
William M. Tugman, Merle E.
Chessman, Robert W. Sawyer,
Gorge S. Turnbull and Verne
McKinney.
Imbedded Windshield
Blade Has Surprise
Stayton The long arm of co
incidence in the form of a wind
shield swipe blade brought an
oddity to the North Santiam
garage this week.
Returning from a trip to Jef
ferson, Louis Scoficld, North
Santiam farmer, had a flat and
took it to the garage for repair.
Marvin Overholts, owner of the
garage, found a four inch piece
of a windshield blade .had be
come imbedded.
Wednesday evening as How
ard Ross was driving the Freres
Building Supply truck from
Jefferson to Stayton, he also had
a flat and brought it to the same
garage. It was with much sur
prise that Overholts removed
a two-inch piece of the same
blade from ' the truck tire. The
two pieces matched perfectly.
Majority Rights Sacrificed
For Protection of Minority
In one of the most logical and convincing talks the Salem Knife
and Fork club has heard during the current season, Judge George
W. Hardy of the second circuit court of appeals, Shreveport, La.,
said "we have forgotten the rights of the majority in our zeal to
protect the minority."
The judge based much of his
discourse on the decision of the
U. S supreme court of a few
years ago which declared un
constitutional the program of re
leased school time for the pur
pose of religious education. That
decision involving schools of
Champaign, III., threw out sim
ilar religious programs over the
entire country.
The court's decision, said
Judge Hardy, might later oe so
construed that a ban would be
placed on the singing of carols
in the schools, or the very men
tion of the name of God.

Search for Lost
(Continued from Page 1)
When weather permits and it
may later in the day air rccon
naissance will be intensified. A
Lancaster bomber from White-
horse, Y.T., is scheduled to join
search planes massed in the Pac-
cific northwest.
The R.C.A.F. here said a U.S.
coast guard aircraft, equipped
with a loudspeaker system, will
fly over the island, broadcasting
the extent of rescue efforts. Its
purpose will be to "lift the mor
ale" of any survivors.
The Cayuga, which was forc
ed to lift anchor last night be
cause of gale-force winds, is
again anchored off the island.
29 Death Toll
(Continued from Page 1
The dead, dying and injured
were piled five deep atop one
another. They sprawled gro
tesquely amid the twisted steel
of the cars, the shattered glass
and crushed seats.
Police said that the eastbound
train ran through a red stop sig
nal as it entered the siding. The
first car had almost cleared the
single track when the west
bound train, coming down dou
ble tracks on the other approach
to the siding, crashed into it at
a 15 degree angle.
The impact of the collision
sheared the leading cars of both
trains in half. The steel sides
of the two coaches were torn
