Bin? out, wild bells, to the wild sky.
The flying cloud, the frosty light:
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind.
For those that here we see no more:
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out a slowly dying cause.
And ancient forms of party strife:
Ring in the nobler forms of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out the want, the care, the Rin,
The faithless coldness of the times:
Ring out, ring out my mournful rhymes;
But ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride in place and blood.
The civic slander and the spite:
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease.
Ring out the harrowing lust for gold:
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
Rin? in the valiant man and free.
The larger heart, the kindlier hand:
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be.

Production of Douglas fir
plywood in the western states
climbed to 3.5 billion square
feet during 1953, establishing
new record for the fifth con
secutive year.
In addition to this British
Columbia mills produced 470
square feet of Douglas fir pan
els. Western pin plywood was

North America.
A total of 155 plywood and
veneer plants operated in west

Douglas fir, pine, spruce and
hardwood plywood in 1953.
In 1954 five more plants
wjll come into operation
Three will be in Orgon, one
in California and one in Mon

versions from veneer plants.
One more veneer plant is
planned in Oregon and one in

Reduction in
Fatalities in
By VICTOR
Traffic brought v i ol e n t
deaths to only two persons in
Salem in 1953 one-third the
number of the. previous year
and a tying record low for re
cent years and the rest of
Marion county cut down slight
ly with an additional 15 deaths
for the year for a county total
of It compared to 21 in 1952.
The low accident death rate
in Salem tied the number in
1949 and 1951 in records kept
for the past several years. Traf
fic accident deaths in the coun
ty have varied in recent years
from 36 in 1948 to 15 in 1949
and 1951.
Salem was in its 11th month
without a traffic fatality and
officials were looking forward
to a perfect record when 58-year-old'
Florence Hodgeson,
2888 Brooks avenue, was struck
by a car as she and a com
panion walked across the Pa
cific highway in the 2600
block of Portland road the eve
ning of November 6. She died
the following day to become
Salem's first victim of the year.
Almost a month later, a two
car collision at the intersection
of Liberty and Columbia streets
hospitalized 47-year-old Lester
Peterson, 205 South 22nd
street, a passenger in one of the
cars. He died a few hours later
in a local hospital to become
Salem's second and Marion
county's last fatality of the
year.

Eight days later, on March
27, a two-car collision at Clax

she died April 6 from injuries
incurred in the accident.

ried 22-year-old Emmett Hen

with a fuel oil truck in April
in the Liberty district south-
west of Salem.
Fred Winburn, 61, Mill City,
became traffic fatality No. 5
when the car in which he and
two others were passengers
plunged 600 feet off the high
way above Detroit lake May 10.
Seven days later, the Boone
road crossing of the Southern
Pacific railroad claimed its
first of two fatalities of the
year when Joseph Allen Ad

in front qf a northbound
freight train, causing instant
death to the driver.
June claimed two victims.
Twenty -year-old Clifford Tib

NEW YEARS
Wrong Man
Held in Jail
Greenriver. Wyo. UP) The
new year has a special meaning
for a 26-year-old railroad lire-
man who spent the past week
in jail because he looks like a
wanted murder suspect.
Although Sweetwater Coun
ty Sheriff Mike Maher had said
he was sure Albert Burns was
not the man wanted in Buffalo,
N. Y., his fingerprints still had
to be checked in Washington.
Late yesterday word came
that the prints were not those
of long-sought Ralph Grubii
ich. and Burns was freed.
Maher said Burns set out im
mediately for Evanston, Wyo.,
to seek reinstatement with the
railroad.
He had been picked up be
cause of a resemblance to the
30-year-old Grubisich, named
by two men convicted at Buf
falo of first degree murder in
the slaying of jeweler Donald
F, Hurd, Dec. 9.
Night Quiet for
Salem Police
New Year's eve was one of
the quietest in years as far as

j In fact, it was even quieter
than most normal nights.
Only 11 arrests were made
from 6 p.m. to 3 a.m. most
of them on minor traffic vicla
tions and no arrests from 3
a.m. to 11 a.m.
Only one driver was found
who failed to heed safety of
ficials to not mix drinking and
driving. She was released on
$250 bail after her arrest on
drunk driving charge.
One person was arrested for
disorderly conduct after he
failed to heed officers' warn
ings to quit brawling at a res
idence where the police were
called. He was treated by city
first aidmen for cuts about the
face from his fight and was
later released on $35 bail.
Another person was arrest
ed on a drunk charge and one
for vagrancy. The other arrests
were for running lights or stop
signs, speeding or wrong way
driving on a one-way street.
City first aidmen had a lit
tle busier night than usual
treating three persons invol
ved in fights and a youth in
volved in a car accident for
cuts about the face.
City firemen had it easy
without a single alarm being
called in in the past 48 hours.

reported a quiet New Year's
eve.

He died about two hours later

Two days later, a pedestrian
became No. 14. Peter Kringen,

when he walked into the path
of a car on the Pacific high
way near the north edge of
Woodburn.
Between the two Salem

Malenkov Sees
(Continued from Page 1)
There was no formal U. S.
State Department reaction to
the Malenkov statement, but
American diplomats suggested
informally that if Malenkov is
sincerely interested in improv
ing relations with the United
States there are ample oppor
tunities in the near future to
do so.
Pravda Attacks West
They cited as one example
the forthcoming foreign minis
ters meeting in Berlin. But
while Malenkov was talking of
lessening tensions, Pravda, the
Communist party newspaper,
yesterday charged that West
ern powers and West Germany
were ganging up on Russia in
advance of the meeting for the
purpose of sabotaging the talks.
Malenkov's statements ap
peared mostly to be reiteration
of past Soviet statements and
did not seem to offer any new
avenues of approach on specific
East-West issues.
