sized audience, In fact, the din'
ner was the best attended of any
year with placet for nearly 300,
. which doubled last year s crowd.
Secretary of the Interior and

of honor and the Secretary talk

National Automotive Fibres com

eted: and also a feature were
. . r . i w. I-! .
tne nama xrora vaucj x-am
Company, of Salem. Lots of
' "ohs" and "ahs" were heard as
awards were made and the va
rious tables gave plenty of ap
plause when any individual ia
; ble waa represented by win
ner.
Statue at the Capital drew
some ISO persona all that
could be accommodated in the
hall along with the United
States 'Army Band, whieh
played for the ceremony. Dr.
Bart Brown Barker, speaking
on "Oregon, the Unique Prize,
showed hi thorough grounding

by Mr. and Mrs. Henry R.

ton. Secretary and Mrs. McKay

waa made up of cabinet officials,
top Congressional leaders, high
military personnel, and their

week was the American plan
ning and Civic Association
event, at which Secretary and
Mrs. McKay were guests of hon
or1. It was an interesting eve
ning and because the Associa
tion has many relationa with the
Interior Department, we had an
opportunity to become better
acquainted with some of the De
partment officials in a more In
formal way as they, too, were
guest oi the Association. More
