Unemployment
Cost Growing
LEBANON The state employ
ment service U paying more than
$150,000 to unemployed is east
ern Linn county, according to es
timated figure released today by
Charles Wilson, manager of the
Lebanon division.
Wilson said th 1.859 persons
out of work and receiving checks,
averaged almost S23, slightly
above Um state' average of $32.
This was due to the high pay
earned by loggers during the past
year.
The 1,569 persons in eastern
Linn county now out of work
sets a new record and is estimat
ed at 65 per cent of the total
unemployed which is approxi
mately 2,414 persons.
During -past years the roll of
idle began to shrink about Jan.
10 when mild weather allows a
return to work in the woods.
Both the B. F. Johnson mill
and Gilbert-Eaton logging com
pany last week began limited op
erations, removing a number
from the unemployment rails. On
the other hand, the Newberg mill
closed temporarily and 34 persons
were dropped from plywood oper
ations during the same period.
SOUNDS REASONABLE
MEMPHIS. Tenn. (UP)-Five-year-old
Bob Yates couldn't be
sure whether it was a man or
woman who had telephoned his
father. "I couldn't see their
clothes, he explained.
Boycott Providence Church
Since Transfer of Deed
AlbanyDeeding of the, his
toric Providence Baptist church
by two trustees to the First
Baptist church of Albany has
not set well with at least three
of the living members of the
Providence Baptist congrega
tion, nor with the residents of
the Providence eoramuniw.
Adverse reaction bag been
such that there is danger the
church may go out of existence
through lack of attendance at
church and Sunday school.
The situation wu outlined in
Albany Wednesday by R. C
Peery, Lebanon, whose sister,
Mrs. Efiie Peery, is one of the
seven living members. Others
are Benton and Mrs. Gladys Ar-
Lebanon Records
49.79 Inches Rain
LEBANON During 1933 49.79
inches of rain fell in Lebanon, ac
cording to records at the San
tiara Lumber company weather
station.
Heaviest downfall came in Jan
uary when the total wu 10:53
inches. July was the driest month
with no precipitation.
Highest temperature last year
was 95, recorded July 6. On Feb.
24 the thermometer went down
to 25, the coldest of the year.
nold who si sued the deed: Mrs.
Sophie Rhode and Leonard Ar
nold. Scio Mrs. Peery and Mrs.
Mina Davenport and Mrs. Hester
Alley, Lebanon.
Since announcement of the
sale of the 100-year-old Provi
dence church waa made, said
Peery, attendance at both Sun
day school and church service
has declined.
"Residents of the Providence
community feel that this church
which they have supported and
maintained for many years no
longer belongs to them," Peery
asserted. "Accordingly they are
losing interest in it, and many
feel it likely that the church
will be ultimately disbanded."
Peery noted that when trans
fer of title was proposed last
tpring strenuous objections were
voiced not only by Mrs. Peery
and Mrs. Davenport, but by the
more than 100 Providence area
residents who attended meet
ing at which tbe transfer was
nrnnosed.
Peery stated this in refutation
of the statement recenly em
anating from the Albany Baptirt
church that sale of he church
was done "upon agreement of all
living members."
The Providence church has
been ministered for more than
a year by the Rev. R. A. Frie
berg of Crabtree, who remains
pastor but who has not been
directly involved in the trans
fer proceedings.
