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.

In Prison Riot
Santa Fe, N. 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."

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.

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. That
committee holds no regular
meetings, and it is probable that
one will be called soon.
Pennies for the Fountain Governors of wives in all states
and territories head national drive for funds contributed by
school children for a central foundation in front of the Sec
retariat building at United Nations headquarters in New
