will tell you that the least likely

Bob Waterfield, the pro football
great.
But he Is toiling daily in an of
fice at the Goldwyn studio, making
preparations to film six big pic
tures. The office is done in modern
tones, with black and brown decor.
Does he like the place?
"Even if 1 didn't, there's nothing i
I can do about it," h said.
The dcorator. you see, is his
wife, a dark-eyed babe named .lane
Russell. She is also his partner)
In Russ-Field Productions, as well j
as the company's principal and i
most obvious asset.
But don't get the Idea that she
runs the show. At the office, as in
the home, her lord and master is
Waterfield, the soft-talking but
fast-acting quarterback who first
starred for UCLA and then (or the
Los Angeles Rams. He has been
her boss (or 11 years now, and
that's a main reason why their
marrince has survived the sorrows i
of wedded lige of other movie pro-1

record shows the American peo
ple can wisely and safely entrust
the electric power business to
private enterprise.
In a speech prepared for de
livery to the annual EEI conven
tion, Sammis assailed what h e
called the "unfairness and the in
equities of government power com
petition" with private utilities. -
"Propaganda has been for vears
disseminated skillfully, often by
government officials, creating the
fear of impending power short
age," he said, "or creating the
fear that the job of supplying the
nation's power requirements is too
big for private industry.-. ."
But tne real facts show, he said.
that private enterprise can "pro
vide this country with an ample
supply of power for all needs at
reasonable rates as determined by
regulatory" authorities."
In his talk to the 3,000 utility
executives at the EEI convention,
bammis said the government was
turning out only 3-10ths of 1 Der
cent of the nation's power 20 years
ago. Today the total is 11 per
cent.
Meanwhile, private utilities have
boosted their investment in elec
tric facilities "from a little over
12.S bllion dollars in 1945 to about
26.5 billion today."

THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. Salem, Oregon
Grant School, Built in
1890, Being Replaced
By BEN
Excavation for new Grant school,
designed as a one story structure
costing $277,300 to replace an old
structure built in 1890, is now un
der way on the site. Dismantling
of the 64 year old schoolhouse will
begin shortly after the present
school term is ended.
1
Capital Journal weekly for Jan
uary 1, 1891, mentions that a rapid
increase in population in that lo
cality made replacement of an old
and small schoolhouse there an i
immediate necessity. Just when
this first schoolhouse was built is
not stated but District 24, in 1866,
authorized building a school in
North Salem and this may have
been that early structure.
Plans for new North Salem
schoolhouse of 1890 called for an
unpretentious structure two stories
in height and .containing eight
rooms. Basic cost was to be $10,500
but furniture, furnaces, cost of
plans and supervision raised the
price for the district to $13,278.59.
Seating capacity was given as am
ple for 200 pupils.
In 1891 the faculty at North
school consisted of Prof. J. A.
Sellwood, principal; A. W. Long,
Mrs. M. V. Rork and Mrs. Mattie
Meyer. Pupils registered numbered
194.
New Grant school (the name was
changed from North to Grant
many years ago) will house 360
pupils and require a teaching staff
of 10 teachers when operating to
capacity. The building will be a
concrete structure.
Grant school is the oldest opera
tive school in Salem's system. But
it is not the oldest schoolhouse yet
in existence. That distincton may
go to the structure on South Com
mercial street that houses the Bar
kus feed mill. In 1866 the Salem

of the intersection with Myers. Old
