Phyllis Eagy Is Salem's Own 'Queen of the Mile' By CHRIS KOW1TZ; JR. Salem has its own "queen of the mile." She is Miss Phyllis Eagy, a comely blue-eyed blonde who lives at 768 State street, and no feels as much at home in the water as she does in a parlor arm chair. As Phyllis crawled out of the YMCA swimming pool late last night, she became the first girl in Salem history to qualify for the YMCA's national "ten mile' club. To be eligible for the "ten mile" club, a contestant must swim a mile each day for at least 10 days during the annual 12-day "down the Mississippi" nation-wide YMCA swimming contest. Phyllis has been churning her way up and down the length of Don Lee Radio Empire Sold Los Angeles, Oct. 21 (P) The far-flung west coast Don Lee Radio Empire was sold today to the First National Bank of Akron, O. It brought $12,300, 000. The bank bought it as an in vestment for the retirement plans for General Tire and Rub ber Co. employes, for which it acts as trustee. By going to the record figure, the bank topped as required by law the previous bid of H. L. Hoffman Radio Corp. by 10 per cent. Previous high for sale of a radio network was NBC's dis posal of its old Blue network, now the American Broadcasting System, for $8,000,000. Sources close to the negotia tion said the Columbia Broad casting System joined with the bank in the deal. But they said CBS is interested only in KTSL, the Don- Lee TV station. Co lumbia is the FCC's choice to broadcast color television. The network, wholly owned by the estate of Thomas S. Lee, was up for sale in the second major disposal of its holdings. The Don Lee automobile agen cy was sold to Cadillac Motors last month for $1,600,000. Lee, who inherited the radio and auto business from his father when the latter died in 1934, plunged to his death here last January. It is being handled by the pub lic administrator's office because Lee named as his sole heir an uncle, Dwight Merrill, Seattle lumberman. Under state law, out-of-state heirs must operate through the -administrator. teelhammer Nails Flegel State Senator Austin Flegel, democratic candidate for gover nor, laced the republicans for passage of the seasonal clause in the unemployment compensation bill, which deprived cannery and mill workers from drawing unemployment benefits. Flegel made his attack at a political meeting in Woodburn Friday night. Rep. F. Steelhammer, who was awaiting an opportunity to speak, stopped Flegel as he was leaving the meeting and invited him to remain, telling the demo cratic candidate that he intended to say something about Flegel. But Flegel said he had other appointments and left. When Steelhammer's turn to speak came he told the crowd that the seasonal clause had come to the house and senate with the endorsement of both the employers and representa tives of the CIO and AF of L and that Flegel had voted for the bill. "Isn't that right?" asked Steel- hammer of an AF of L represen tative present at the meeting. , "It is," was the answer. It was not until after the close of the legislature that it was dis covered that the bill intended to cover itinerant farm workers ac tually went a great deal further. It will probably be amended at the coming session of the legislature. the YMCA pool night after night. That's 88 lengths of the 20-yard pool. She usually turned in a few extra laps just for good measure. One night she totaled 110. a : And though Phyllis has thus accomplished something never before done by a Salem girl, no body in the YMCA administra tion was surprised to learn that she had done it. Phyllis, you see, has always been a busy body (both literally and figuratively) in the water. She serves as life guard dur ing women's swim night every Tuesday and during family swim night every Friday. In addi tion to that, she teaches a girls' swimming class one night a week, and attends a water bal let class herself. Phyllis, whose 5-foot, 3 'i -inch frame carries just the rght proportions, doesn't remember exactly when she learned to swim. For the sake of the record, she isn't contemplating a try at the English channel. Schools Offer Bunyan Show The Salem public schools are sponsoring the Williams Mar ionette show, "Paul Bunyan and the Adventure of the Wood en Hotcakes," which will be pre sented in the Parrish auditorium (D street entrance) the evenings of October 25 and 26. Admission prices will be 25 cents for students and 50 cents for adults. Proceeds from gate receipts will be used to purchase special art equipment for the Salem schools. Paul Bunyan is the hero of the only all-American legend. Following a natural trail from the logging camps, through the hands of the poets and profes sors, the stories come to the pup pet stage with a new freshness and color. The puppets becom ing the characters of the stories as only puppets can, will hap pily do their part to keep Paul's memory forever fresh. Robert and Edith Williams are well trained for their work having studied both in America and Europe. They design and make all of their puppets, and with a talent for marionette ex prcssion that has carried them through 21 years of successful puppeteering, brings a charm and living reality to their pup pets that is rare indeed. Dorcas Meeting Held Monmouth The D o r c a i lociety held its October meeting in the Christian church parlors last week with a pot luck dinner served during the noon hour. Presiding over the business meeting in the afternoon was Mrs. Nellie Smith. Mrs. Emma Parker acted at secretary. A comforter was tied as "busy1 work for the day.

Fete Dallas Patriarch On 90th Anniversary Dallas Eugene Hayter, grand old man of Dallas, reached his 90th birthday Mon day, and although he had to spend the day in the Dallas hos pital where he is undergoing medical treatment, he said it was one of the happiest days of his life. Dallas firemen remembered the occasion and sent him a prettily decorated birthd a y cake. Nurses gathered to sing Happy Birthday" and then shared in the cake. Many cards and flowers ar rived to wish him many happy returns. Mr. Hayter, one of the oldest native born residents, is also one of Dallas' most prom inent citizens. He has been ac tive in business, church and civic affairs since his youth, and is a former county clerk of the 1890 s.

Prison Official Wins Praise For Risking Life to Save Con Jackson, Mich., Oct. 21 U.S A heroic prison official won praise today for risking his life to save that of a convict trapped in scald- i lg water in a sewer during an escape attempt. But when officials and guards of Southern Michigan State pris on congratulated assistant deputy warden Robert Northrup for jumping into the hot water ant pulling the screaming prisoner to safety, he brushed them aside with: "It's all in a day's work." Life-term Police Killer Reece A. Lawson, 49, squeezed into a dead-end conduit and became trapped in the steam-filled tun nel. Several hours later, guards heard his screams barely rising above the roar of the pulsing generators above and Northrup leaped in and pulled him to safety. Lawson was rushed to the prison hospital where doctors said his condition was critical, but that he probably would sur vive. They said he suffered mostly from shock and burns, although Lawson stabbed him self in a suicide attempt when he believed he could not escape from the searing water. Prison officials said the knife Salem Party to See Rose Bowl c,p ' j0U ' s ' 0rtgnn' y' ' 21, mn3 And Honolulu with United Samples at Dietetic Convention Cover All Phases of Eating By MARGARET MAGEE Come the New Year a group of Salem people may find them selves soaring through the clouds via United Air Lines DC-6 Mainliner headed for the Rose Bowl lootoati game and then for Hawaii.

KDSON Washington, Oct. 20 W If some of the people around this town look a little more paunchy than usual these days, there's a reason. The American Dietetic association is holding its annual con vention, and its exhibitors are handing out samples. The exhibit, held in the huge wound below his heart was not serious. Guards, led by Northrup, dug through 10 tons of coal before they could get to an outlet in the sewer. Then, Northrup jumped into the water and tied a rope around Lawson's waist and helped lift him out of the water. national guard armory, covers almost every phase of eating there is, including a few you possibly haven't even heard of. Take the first booth at which I stopped. This is the latest way to have sweetened food without sugar," said W. E. Mueller of the Ab bott laboratories, Chicago. "It's called sugaryl. Here, have a cookie." I had a cookie. "How does this differ from saccharine?" asked a fellow muncher. It doesn't have the same bit ter after-taste," Mueller said, and is stands up under cooking, unlike saccharine, which breaks down." Making my way past the mince pie, the olives and the orange juice, I stopped at the watercress booth. Miss Mabel Stenger said the C. E. Dennis people have been peddling watercress for 75 years. In the summer they raise it in Martinsburg, W. Va.; in the winter in Huntsville, Ala. Miss Stenger said watercress is simply loaded with vitamins Oddly, she never tasted the stuff until she went to New York J That's because she was raised in South Dakota, a great non watercress country. She's been making up for lost time, though. "I eat a bunch every day," she said loyally. "Here, have some." I had some. I passed by the peanut butter and the peas, and stopped be fore a display of paper cups. Miss Hulda Kloenne said she represents 16 different manu facturers, who make paper cups of almost every size and descrip tion. All Miss Kloenne had to offer was a water cooler and paper cups to drink out of, but she said she was competing okay with the givers of goodies. 'A dozen times a day," she said, "someone says, 'Thank God for water. Here, have some." I had some. Very tasty. Residences Shuffled Dayton One move makes many in Dayton vicinity last week.
