The cook- as were made by the individual Foods ClaMs and High-Home was defeated by the Home manage ment classes in committees. Two faculty members judged the deco rations Tuesday and awarded first "and second place ribbons to the winning committee. The foods classes have also made 130 pounds of fruitcake and are already sold.

Faculty advisor to the Home Economics Club is Mrs. Mabel Prentiss, instructor of the Foods classes. Willamette (Contnued from Pig 1) steadily then to the 21-foot crest by Thursday midnight. Cnrvallis locks for a 21-foot level by 4 p.m. Thursday, one foot above flood stage; and Al bany is due for a reading of 21 5 by midnight Thursday. Flood stage there also is 20 feet. A total of 1.42 inches of rain drenched Salem in the 24-hour period to 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, and flooding streets in cities and water over many roads in the countryside were reported throughout the area as the soak ed ground could not absorb the steady rain. Intermittent rain is forecast to continue tonight and Thursday, temperatures to remain mild. And so it looks like a wot Christ mas with Santa Claus needing his biggest wading boots. Meanwhile, new snow 'was piling up in many high Cascade areas. Ten inches fell overnight at Timberline. Highway officials warned mo torists traveling the pass routes to be equipped with chains. A slide at Sardine creek on the North Santiam highway closed that route for a time, but highway officials expected to have the route open by after noon. Some icy spots were re ported on other pass routes. City Pumps (Cnntnued from Pane 1) were unable to carry off the sur plus water. A resident at 600 Fairview avenue reported the wa ter was running down the street, into her driveway and thence into her basement. It developed that there is no ditch alcng the street and that a county crew had been trying to divert the water into a tile line. Another call involved property at 3820 Monroe Street where the owner was unable to reach his front door except through the expedient of driving his car there. An unidentified woman called Commissioner Roy Rice asking if the county was prepared to conduct sandbag operations. The en. tng the variance as the facts that plans for the builajng were drawn but building jerred prior to tl)e establishment of the present code; the declaration of intent to pur chase the Farrar property when it can be purchased and the agree ment to rent parking spaces; the separate loading and driveway which will accommodate four cars and the (act the YMCA is support ed by the entire community through the United Fund and is therefore a comunity enterprise. In the matter of moving the Central Assembly of God Church the commissioners held a public hearing but deterred decision until the exact amount of parking area could be determined. j The Rev. Fred Versolenko, pas tor of the church, explained that by moving it a crowded parking situation at the present location could be eased. He told of sour milk and water from Curly's Dairy backing up in the basement. He said that if the church were moved to the new location it would be modernized. The church pastor also said that some of the persons who had signed the petition op posing the new location of the church had now signed another asking that their names be re moved from the first. The Rev. Mr. Davis, assistant superintendent of the Assemblies of God in Oregon, explained the church would benefit the area and said it would remove congestion from a dangerous intersection. rhnrih Z, '""-duon ! , William T.

The total does not in clude metered mail which con stitutes a considerable volume especially at the state house. Neither does it include parcel post matter. One of the surprising side lights of this year's Christmas mailing the postmaster reports, is the considerable volume of parcel post that is still beina received for out of state delivery. inirtcen hundred sacks of in coming parcel post matter were delivered here Tuesday night. This is about the same as has been the case the past few days. Continued heavy rains have presented difficulties to the overloaded mail men. This is particularly true on Vista ave nue and Peace street, east of 12th where surface water has made deliveries difficult. Murphy Riles To be Friday Funeral services will be held at the Virgil T.
