Since J 821. livestock exhib
itors at the Oregon State Fair
have been listing their entries
with Mrs. F. W. (Veva) Poor-
nun, Salem.
The livestock office if now
located in a white wooden
building near the large live
stock exhibit building, but
when Mil. Poorman started
working for the State Fair it
was housed with all other of
fices in the old administration
- building.
Located near the railroad
smir at the fairgrounds, the
Id administration building
had windows for the different
entry clerks of all depart'
anents. Oh, yes, there was one
girl in the ticket aepanroeni
then and she handled all of the
tickets for all of the events.
It to somewhat of a "re
member when" session when
- one talks with Veva about her
experlenes at the State Fair.
She was recalling that the
entry clerks sat on high stools
In front of their windows and
there was only one telephone
on the fairgrounds at that
time. That telephone was in
the main office. '
Instead of telephones that
now are found in the various
departments, the departments
had messenger boys who sat
en a bench in front of the ad
ministration building.
"Ella Wilson's boy Dick was
the messenger for the livestock
office," Mrs. Poorman recalled,
adding that he was a good one,
too.
"A. H. Lee was secretary of
the fair board, and Ella Wilson
was his assistant," Veva said.
Then she remembered that
a Mr- 6hearer, who has been
superintendent of poultry at
the Cresham Fair was at the
state fair in those days with
the poultry.
Back in 1921, when Mrs.
Poorman started her work at
the State Fair the livestock
were exhibited In a group of
red barns which formed a
horseshoe and the overflow
went into tents placed in the
center.
There were lots of beauti
ful heavy horses and harness
races at the race track, in
stead of the horse races that
they . have now; textiles and
foods were together and it was
small exhibit; there was a
More Help Now Says

Office help is becoming more

However, the calibre of the
available office help remains on
the low side, added Newall. He
suggested a three point pro.
gram to develop capable work'
ers: 1 Encourage competent
people to go into office work;
S Prevail upon schools to raise
their standards of testing and
curriculum; 3 Management
should develop and utilize prop

fountain In .the center of the
agriculture building with a
beautiful floral exhibit; and
there was a large land products
exhibit," Mrs. Poorman said as
she listed some of the changes
since those days.
Thinking back over those
early days, Veva told how the
police blew their sirens all of
the way through town when
they came to the fairgrounds
to pick up the money. She told
of a close call that Mrs. Donald
(Opal) Young had when one
of the policemen guns was
accidentally discharged.
Mrs. Young and Ruth Grif
fith Stump were working there
at the time and when one of
the police officers guns was
discharged the bullet came
through the partition near Mrs.
Young, missing her only a few
inches.
Among the exhibitors of
those days vividly recalled by
Mrs. Poorman was A. C. Ruby,
who brought Percheron and
Belgian horses to the fair and
whose son drove four Shetland
ponies about the fairgrounds
Youthful exhibitors of those
days, who are now among the
breeders exhibiting, were Tra
cey Anderegg of Portland who
exhibits Percherons and Air
shires, and Edgar Crimes of
Harrlsburg, an exhibitor of
Guernseys. Both were 4-H club
boys back a few years alter
Mrs. Poorman started working
at the fair.
Veva noted then that there
is an exhibitor at the state
fair whose grandfather was for
many years superintendent of
the dairy cattle. This exhibitor
is Ronald Finnlcum of Day
ton, who brings dairy cattle to
the fair, and coming with
him to watch the judging of
the cattle is his Grandmother
Finnlcum.
There were many other peo
ple of some 30 years ago whom
Mrs. Poorman could recall,
but her office is a busy place
and with Judging still going on
were were records to keep and
premium lists to be made for
the awards, for that Is part of
her Job, too.
Lebanon Notes
Hospital Cost
Lebanon At the end of its
first year of operation the
Lebanon community hospital
has treated or examined more
than 4.900 persons, which is
about 3 per cent less than
needed to wake the institu
tion self supporting.
The report was issued by A.
E. Anderson, chairman of the
management committee.
There were 2,563 medical,
surgical and maternity cases,
and 1878 out-patients, the re
port revealed.
Occupancy percentage was
61.8 per cent. Directors and
management determined that
the hospital to be financially
successful, must have an aver
age occupancy of 65 per cent
An average of 30.1 patients
were in the 49-bed hospital
during the year, the stay of
each averaging four days. Of
the total patients, S3 per cent
were from Lebanon and the
remainder represented 72 dif
ferent cities, the chairman ex
plained.
During the year 789 babies
were born there; the doctors
performed 813 operations and
iaDoratory technicians made
365 tissues examinations.
The community hospital
loooth to be built with aid of
federal funds, was opened in
August, 1952. Funds not furn
ished by the federal govern
ment were received from 3200
residents and totaled $558,-766.
The loss posted by the hos
pital during its first year was
foreseen in an article en it in
the Saturday Evening Post. It
stated, "Most hospitals lose
money, and new ones are al
most certain to do so." High
praise was given the Mennon-
ite board of missions and char
ities which manages the hos
pital ' on a nonprofit basis.
Room rates in the local insti
tution are substantially lower
man the northwest average
and, with continued good
management, it is expected
that they will remain lower,
the Hospital officials said,

lack of Materials
Delays Prison Unit
Construction of a new seg
regation block at the state peni
tentiary has been delayed be
cause of inability to obtain
materials. Warden Clarence
Gladden said today.
He said completion of the
block, which will contain about
95 cells, will not be completed
for six weeks. The work, which
was started by convict labor,
is being completed under direc
tion of a Salem contractor.
day, demolishing the house and
injuring its three occupants.
Miraculously, no one was
killed in the crash. The pilot
and co-pilot of tne aircraft
walked away shaken but ether
wise unscathed, although they
were nospiiaiuea vrieuy.
The two place plane, a T33
training version of the famed
Lockheed F80 Shooting Star,
tore through the house and
the wreckage stopped inches
from where six-year-old Candy
Chandler, daughter of the own
er, and a five-year-old neigh
bor boy were playing in the
back yard.
Fire, which might have ex
ploded from the volatile jet
fuel, failed to break out in
the wreckage. .
Injured were John Chand
ler, 35, a retired fireman; his
wife, Helen, and Phyllis Okray,
who was visiting the Chand
lers. They were taken to Val
ley Receiving Hospital where
Mrs. Okray was listed as in
serious condition.
The pilot, Capt. Samuel
Fant, 34, and the co-pilot,
Capt. Howard Rhode, 30,
were given sedatives at the
hospital and then released.
Lockheed Aircraft said the
crash was caused by a "flame
out" while it was coming in
for a landing at San Fernando
Valley Airport after a two-
hour test flight prior to ac
ceptance by the Air Force.
