TWO CHRISTMAS SEASONS
THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. Salem. Oretoa

This Noble fir has teen two Christmas seasons as a Christmas
tree, first being used in 1952 as a green tree and again in
1953 as a modernistic tree in white and silver. Pictured with
the tree is Drew Michaels of Eola Drive, who saved the tree
over from the first year and is now putting it away to save
for the 1954 Christmas season.
One Christmas Tree
Repeats Yearly Service
By MARGARET MAGEE
Most Christmas trees, used
in homes and business firms
during the past holiday season,
have now gone up in smoke.
This is not the case of one
used by Drew Michaels in dec
orating the department he
heads for one of the local busi
ness firms.
Michaels, who himself has a
Christmas tree farm, is putting
the tree away for another
Christmas season, and this is
an old story for the tree, for
Christmas, 1953, was the sec
ond season it had been used.
The tree, a Noble fir, orig
inally came from the Black
Pock area in early December
of 1952. That year red balls
Grid Changes
Are Proposed
Recommendation that two
"legs" of the one-way grid sys
tem be removed will be made
by Mayor Al Loucks to the city
council Monday night.
The legs are those one-block
extensions of one-way traffic
beyond the border streets of the
grid intended to make easier en
trance into or exit from the grid.
For example. Ferry street is the
south border of the grid, but
Church and Cottage continue as
one-way streets an additional
block to Trade. These extensions
have proved troublesoim because
nf additional traffic thrown on
Trade where there is also rail
road traffic, and because of dif
ficulty in handling funeral cor
teges at the Clough-Barrick mor
tuary. So the mayor will recom
mend that these two one-way
blocks be eliminated.
Another recommendation of
the mayor will be the installa
tion of a traffic light at Capitol
and Chemeketa intersection.
Salvation Army

Special services are in prog
ress at the Salvation Army
with Weston Trucker as the
guest evangelist. These serv
ices will continue through
Thursday evening of next

Weston Trucker has recent
ly spent several months in the
Orient with the Youth for
Christ program there.
A Bible study class is con.

irOION MEETING
tn.VFBTnV ntvnn H
Humphreys of Stayton. secre
tary of the Marion County
Council of the American Le
gion, has announced the Janu
ary meeting of the council and

and red bows decorated the
tree.
As an experiment Michaels
put the tree away in his pump
house at his home three miles
west of Salem. Come the past
Christmas season the tree was
removed and transformed Into
a modernistic Christmas tree.
Needles on the tree remain
ed firmly attached, but the tree
had dried out completely and
lost its green luster, turning a
brownish color. A couple of
coats of white four-hour ena
mel were sprayed on the tree
and while the last coat was
still tacky it was covered with
white rayon flocking.
A light dusting of silver
completed, the modern effect
and the tree returned to the
department that Michaels
heads for its second Christmas
season taking its place under a
red spotlight.
Forestry department person
nel, who watched Michaels' ex
periment, confirmed the fact
that Noble firs, which normal
ly grow at an elevation of 2,-
000 feet or higher can be held
over a year and the needles
remain on the tree. They had
only one warning note re
member that such a tree is
very dry and should not be
placed too near a fire or heat
of any kind.

Mink, Fox Growers Bring
New Business to Liberty
LIBERTY Mink ranching it a
growing industry in the Liberty
area. Four thousand seven hun
dred forty mink and 28 foxes
we pelted this year by four
mink ranchers.
"Mutations' are the most pop
ular, not only because they bring
a more lucrative price on the
market, but the manufacturers
are very happy over the diver
sified coloring and tones In the
mutations. Varieties raised in the
Liberty area are the silver blues
or platinums, royal pastels, star
lights, and aleuuoo blues, ana
sapphires.
Stewart pastels and the topaz
are the two newest varieties and
are very much sought after.
The Stewart pastel is a light
coffee color and the to pax which
is an off shoot of the Stewart
pastel is still lighter in color.
To develop these unusual
shades, the local mink grower has
made an extensive study in genet
ics. When one mink of a litter
shows an unusual shade the
rancher seeks a mate of about
the same color to continue the
rare mutation shade. Only a few
of the standard ranch mink are
still being pelted in the Liberty
area. Although the standard mink
are still popular and the fur is
a soft warm dark brown, the
prices of the pelts do not make

Females produce about four
young a year and these little ani
