2 Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon, Tuesday, Nov. 21, 1950 " 1 As In Biblical Tlmei This Thanksgiving booth in the church school room at Jason Lee Methodist church is as nearly as possible a replica of the booths made by the Children 'of Israel in the times of Moses, and still made by the Jews when Jesus was a boy. Children at the Salem church observed "The Feast of the Booths" Sunday. Friday night, together with children from other Methodist churches, they uttended services at Salem's Jewish synagogue in accord with the command ment of old. Methodist Children Synagogue Guests in Thanksgiving Study It was long. Ions ago that the Lord God, through Moses, com manded the Children of Israel to observe Thanksgiving. But it was the foundation of the present American Thanksgiving day. And it came to pass that in Salem, Oregon, the children of the fifth grade of Jason Lee Methodist church school went, last Friday night, to the synagogue, as did the Children of Israel and as the Jewish people were doing when Jesus was a boy. The Methodist children and their teachers attended the rcgu lar Friday night service at Sa lem's Jewish synagogue. Their number was increased four-fold when they invited to go with them children of similar age from the First Methodist church, Leslie church, and the Methodist church at Albany. About 100 youngsters were in the group. They report that they greatly enjoyed the beautiful Jewish service, and the congregation at the synagogue welcomed them, and urged them to come again. As literally as possible the church school children at Jason Lee are carrying out the Thanks giving of old. "Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thiok trees, and make booths, as it is written. So the people went forth and brought them, and made them selves booths . . ." And that's Just what the Meth odist children did. A booth was set up in the church schoolroom nearly to the letter as pos sible. It was explained to the children why the Jewish people used booths, all symbols were ex plained, and the old songs were sung as in the youth of Jesus. Gifts of fruits and other foods were brought to the church Sun day morning, in observance of The Feast of the Booths." In the afternoon the service was repeated at the Old People's Home on Center street. It was all part of the regular study course of the children. Their teachers at Jason Lee are Mrs. M. w. Ready and Mrs. Rob ert Klempcl. Club Named For Linneaus The Llnncan 4-H entomology club was organize Saturday un der the leadership of John E Davis, entomologist, state depart ment of agriculture.

M., Nov. 21 P Authorities sought today for the cause of yesterday's state prison riot which injured six guards, none seriously, and wrecked two offices and the prison canteen. Warden Howell Gage ruled out attempts to escape and re bellion at alleged mistreatment. "I know definitely that any alleged mistreatment is not the reason," Gngc said yesterday Ho added that "it definitely was not an escape attempt." He said the hour-long upris ing behind the penitentiary walls may have been connected with one prisoner "who was out of line." About 100 convicts armed with razors, knives, crude blackjacks. chains and pieces of pipe roved through the prison, overwhelm ins guards In the exercise yard. administrative office, canteen, laundry and tailor shop. Prison guards and two dozen state and city police armed to the teeth quelled the revolt without firing a shot. Brand Likely io Be New Chief Justice The new chief Justice of the state supreme court, who will serve the two years beginning In January, has been chosen. But Chief Justice Hall S. Lusk said today that the name of the new chief won't be announced until the middle of December. The new chief is expected to be Justice James T. Brand, who now is acting chief Justice, which means lie serves in the absence of the chief. The high court's custom has been to promote the acting chief to chief. Still Trying to Save Building Persons Interested In preserva tlon of the old Marion county courthouse are spiking a rumor that they have abandoned the effort to save the building for a museum. "We are still putting forth every effort to save the struc ture from destruction," said one of the committee members. "Anyone interested in the pro ject can send donations, memor ial funds or $1.50 in dues to Join the Marion County Historical society, to any of the officers or members of the society. The officers are: President, Miss Merl Dimick, 606 Market street; vice president, Harold Wynd, Jefferson; secretary, Her bert J. Salisbury, 269S Hulsey avenue; treasurer, Miss Mirpah Blair, 87S Marion street; or to any of the following members: Mrs. A. E. Austin, Wood burn; David Duniway, state archivest, state library, Salem; Murray Wade, 8S2 North Liberty; Hugh Morrow, Salem public library; Miss Renska L. Swart, 738 North Front street. Highway Crew Surveys Route Highway survey crews are surveying a route which is ex pected to be the ultimate truck by-pass highway east of Salem. Under the Baldock traffic plan, it is proposed to pave Lan caster road from the Hayesville school to a point at Four Cor ners for use of trucks now util izing North Capitol street. The Lancaster route would be used for some years to come but eventually it is planned to use the new route being surveyed, as a four-lane freeway highway. The route under survey would be routed as follows: Beginning southeast from the Pacific highway at Hayesville school (just north of Salem) the proposed route would lie about one-quarter mile west of Lan caster drive. It will pass just west of State street Four Cor ners. From there, in a wide arc it will go almost southwest and connect with the Pacific high way about five miles south of Salem. At its northern terminus it passes along just east of Holly wood avenue and west of Fisher road. It crosses State street about one-quarter mile west of Four Corners and then swings a bit easterly to lie west of the Sa- lem-Aumsville highway south of Four Corners and just east of Paradise Island farm. The route then swings south and west again east of Hillcrest school for girls, crosses Boone road about one-half mile east of Pringle school and connects near its intersection with Reese road south of Salem. Freight Rates on Autos Ordered Cut by ICC Washington, Nov. 21 P The interstate commerce commission today ordered an average 12 per cent reduction in railroad freight rates on new automobiles. Officials estimated the dated to become effective Fh. 20. will involve savincs of Sin I and up for new car purchases. The retail price of new auto mobiles traditionally includes the rail transportation charge from the manufacturer's head quarters factory to the home city of the purchaser, regardless of how delivery is made between these points. Thus the revision in the basic rail rate will be reflected In the local sales tag, in amounts varying according to location and the weight of the car.

BEEF STEAKS Select Grade A. Only Other Delicious Dinners SENATOR HOTEL DINING ROOM i Kiwanis Hears layman Preach A sermon by layman that would do credit to the clergy was delivered during Tuesday's Kiwanis club luncheon by John C. F. Merrlfield, supervisor for the Connecticut Mutual Life, Portland, and chairman of the eighth province of the Episcopal church on layman's work. Merrifield declared that there was too little development of the spiritual life and too much stress on materialism. He asked that the two sides be brought more closely Into balance. Too little time is spent in the house of God, said Merrlfield as pointed out that most communi cants thought of their physical comforts while making plans to attend worship. Schools Give For Fountain Salem school children are join ing others of the nation in con tributing the money that will build a central fountain in front of the Secretariat building at United Nations headquarters in New York. In Oregon the drive is headed by Mrs. Douglas McKay, wife of the governor.. Other wives of governors of the states and of Al aska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico are also leaders. The national chair man is Mrs. Arthur B. Langlie of Washington state. Locally, assisting Mrs. McKay in the collection of pennies, nick els and dimes, is Rex Putnam, state superintendent of schools, who will supervise the organiza tion of the schools. Linn C. Smith of the United States Na tional bank is treasurer. The Schools are urged to make their contributions before De cember IS. Belluschi Asks for Courthouse Details Pietro Belluschi, Portland ar chitect who is designing the new Marion county courthouse, has written the county court asking j information on certain details to be included in the new building. Belluschi requests informa tion on the type of clock system desired, type of fire alarm sys tem, whether or not a night watchman check-in apparatus is desired, what kind of light con trol for the jail cells is pre ferred, etc. Members of the county court said they would bring the mat ter up at the next meeting of the building committee.
