Lebanon Another chapter
In the troubled affairs of cen
tury-old Providence church
was recorded when a deed was
filed at Lino county court
house on Nov. 17, transferring
Joab Powell's Baptist Mission
church to the Conservative
Baptist church of Albany.
This move, which was orig
inally proposed on Feb. 18,
1952 by Benton Arnold and Mr.
and Mrs. Lonard Arnold of
Sclo, three of the remaining
seven members, has been vig
orously opposed by a large
number of Providence resi
dents who use the church as a
community worship center, as
well as many members of
Linn's pioneer families.
The first move to give the
old church away was thwarted

when Mrs. Wayne Davenport
and her sister, Mrs. Effie Peery
of Lebanon, also members of
the church, filed objections.
At this time, there was no
governing church board as the
original chu-'-'i organization
had become inactive and was
allowed to lapse in 1943. The
building, however, has been
kept in excellent repair by res
idents of Providence and has
long been used as a center of
worship by them.
According to the corporation
record, on Feb. 24, 19S2, Ben
ton Arnold appeared at Salem
and filed a re-instatement of
the church corporation with
himself as attorney-in-fact.
On March 20. 1953, another
meeting was called by the Arn
olds who had not abandoned
their determination to transfer
the property to the Albany
church. At this time the pro
posed session received wide
publicity through the press,
and descendants of the pioneer
clans from all sections of the
county came to protest. The op
position was to overwhelming
that no action was taken. Wor
shippers at tho rrovidence
church felt that the matter had
been settled by public opinion.
The deed now on record is
dated May 20, 19S3, two
months after the protest meet
ing. The entire Providence prop
erty, now considered a state
historical shrine, consists of the
church founded by' Joab Pow
ell in 18S3, and the adjoining
cemetery where he and many
members of Linn pioneer fam
ilies are buried. The Provi
dence Memorial association,
foundedin 1938, administers
the affairs of the cemetery. Re
cently the group with a large
state-wide membership, raised
money for a deep well on the
property to fit their long range
plan for perpetual care of the

Mrs. Heady seemed reluctant.
She appeared to bold her
breath. Although she was un
conscious after the first sniff,
her lung labored for two min
utes and 10 seconds after Hall's
body had slumped motionless.
U.S. Marshal William B
Tatman after the execution,
confirmed the two had given
each other a final embrace and
kiss.
"You wouldn't want to de
prive them of that," the mar
shal said.
Hall was puffing on a ciga
rette as they approached the
gas chamber. He passed It to
Mrs. Heady who took a final
puff.
Tatman stepped Into the gas
chamber with the two. After
guards had blindfolded them
and strapped them to the chairs.
the marshal asked: "Have you

Iron Lung Fails, Polio
Victim Wins Death Race
Hamilton AFB, Calif. UK
Mrs. Pe&gy Plnske, a polio in
valid, happily made Christmas
plans with her family today
after a life and death race to
a hospital when her Iron lung
lauea.
The pert, 29-year-old mother
barely won her race against
time yesterday when two
mechanical failures stopped the
lung as she was being transfer
red to her new home here from
Marin County General Hospital.
She was kept alive for the
12-minute return trip to the
hospital by newsmen and at
tendants who fought furiously
to keep her breathing by oper
ating the bellows with their
hands.
Trouble started for Mrs.
Plnske after she and her lung
were strapped in a huge van
for the trip home.
The generator unit failed a
mile from the hospital and the
respirator was without electri
cal power. A hand lever for
the pump was started immedi
ately but broke after two
strokes.
The van attendants and
newsmen, covering the home
coming, jumped to her assist
ance, lifting and pushing the
rubber bellows to force life
giving air into her body.
They almost failed. Mrs.
Pinske began getting less and
less air as the van careened
around corners in its race with
death. I
.Faster, faster." she said. "I
can't breathe."
But they transfered her to a
new lung in the hospital 12
minutes after the accident.
The second trip was success
ful, and Mrs. Pinske will spend
the holidays with her husband
James, an Air Force sergeant,
her eight-year-old son, Michael,
and other members of her family.
