Perby Course Director To Meet Committee By RON GEMMELL SOAP BOX derbyV Don't forget, you faithful Soap Box Derby committeemen, we have a meeting tomorrow night at the Douglas McKay Chev rolet company 5 10 North Comme r c i a 1 street. A new re cruit, who is going to be director of the course on Derby Day Chet Stack house, Willamette University's Director of Athletics and who has done an outstanding job of directing the Willamette Re lays, is to be with us. Les Green, topkick of our in spection committee and boss of the bookkeeping department of the Chevvie agency, tells that over 100 sets of wheels have been sold and we've got to get some more. He also says that he and Bill Page, of the city police depart ment, have it lined up so in spectors, in sets of two, will be coming around to look over the "bugs" you kids are building. One thing you race-builders aren't doing, however, is to get over to McEwan's photo shop at 245 North High street to get your pictures taken for free. I'kjEwan's are making some fine ptyotos of the few of you who have reported in there, but a lot of you racers haven't been in yet. And what do you know! The J. R. Taggart Construction com pany, out at 761 Wallace road, has volunteered to provide the carry-all we need to finish the basic construction of that Bush Pasture park course that you guys will be flying down come July 13. Jack Taggart, bossman of the outfit, and City Engineer Harold Davis, are getting together to day to set up the job. Looks like everyone in the Salem area is going to get into this Salem Derby, that will send some lad to Akron, Ohio, for the race of champions in August. Salem Academy to Crown Queen Friday Queen Evelyn I will be hon ored In ceremonies held Friday at Salem academy. The annual May Festival at the school will start at 9 o'clock in the morning with open house at the school. From 10 to noon an inter class track meet will be held and following this will be lunch in the cafeteria. A baseball game will start at 2. Queen Evelyn will be crown ed by Rev. Henry Turnidge, su perintendent of the school. The queen, a senior, is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Fisher, route 6. Her two princesses are Shirley King and Renabelle Dyke, both members of the jun ior class. All were chosen by vote of the students. The Grand Canyon of the Col orado is 278 miles long with a maximum width of 13 miles and depth of 6,000 feet . Second Story Plea Rejected After hearing a protest from George Weller, 945 Shipping street, the city planning and zoning commission Tuesday night recommended against V. J. Osko being permitted to add a second story to his office building at 1465 North Capitol. Weller said it would cause traffic congestion and probably result in reduced residential property values in the district. The recommendation will go to the city council which has final say in the matter. The commission gave its ap proval to the city council for a zone change to permit the erec tion of a two-story business building on the Giles Smith property on the south side of Center between North Capitol and 12th streets. Miss Mildred Christenson was given tentative approval for a zone change permitting an apartment duplex on Jud son street three blocks west of South Commercial. A public hearing will be held June 17. Mayor Al Loucks has ap pointed George Grabenhorst Sr., and James B. Young as con sultants to work with the com mission on revision of the zon ing code.
