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.

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.

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.

A tour of the city of Honolulu,
including a visit to the Iolani
Palace, formerly the royal pal

to the otherside of the island
with a visit to the Mormon

Bay. Also included on the trip
is a visit to the famous "Blow
Hole" with its salt water gey
sers and to Kailua and Lani-kai.

will be made to Mount Tantalus,
with stops at the extinct crater,

but arranged in advance for
the Salem people spending Tues

desire will be special tours of
that area.

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.
