Salem, Oregon, Wednesday, December 26, 1956 Page 8 Section 1 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL Quiet Christmas Observed in City Church Services, Family Groups " Feature Day It was a quiet Christmas in Sa lem and best of all not a single traffic death reported over the Vuletide holiday period. The spirit of Christmas was ob served by church services, home gatherings, which in many cases brought members of families from alar, and acts of charily bringing joy to some of the more unfor tunate people in the city. . Christmas Dinners Served The first Christmas dinner served at the Salvation Army's Duplex Court Matter Before Planners City Decision of the city planning commission on a request to con struct a court of duplexes in a long, narrow tract on the north side of D street near Park avenue is expected to be made at the meeting of the Salem planning commission Thursday evening at 7:30 p.m. The request, made by Mr. and Mn.' L. W. Schrunk, involves a change of zone to permit the con itruction of the duplexes in the presently single family zoned area. At a previous public hearing ob jection to the proposal was voiced by some residents of the Park avc nua and Icol court area. The zon ing committee of the commission has also recommended against the change but at the last meeting the commission members delayed final action on the proposal. Two public hearings on vari ances to city set-back regulations also will come before the commis sion. One hearing is on the request of the Blue Lake Packers for a set back modification to permit en larging the cannery's office build ing on Patterson avenue in West Salem. Another hearing will be held on Ilia request of the Tidewater Oil Co.'s request for setback relief permitting changes in a gasoline pump island at 17th and Market streets. The commission will also con alder the proposal offered by the Citizens Advisory Traffic Safety committee that signs be reworded so that Children at Play line on present signs will not denoto that children playing In the streets Is condoned. new noMci at I4fi Marion St., saw about 50 homeless men, and a few women, sit down to a tradi tional turkey dinner with all the trimmings. It was creamed turkey for an other group of unfortunates at the Union Gospel mission where the leftovers from a Monday night din ner were converted into tasty dishes. Christmas cheer was brought to homes of persons who had not looked lorward to a joyous Christ mas by groups and organizations, coordinated through the efforts of the Salem Christmas bureau. Lighting Displays Displays of outdoor lighting on many homes throughout the city were viewed by many who "made the rounds" both Tuesday night and Christmas Eve. Noel electri cal displays were noted in many districts, including Manbrin Gar dens in the Keizer area. West Sa lem, Four Corners, in both North and South Salem and in the Can- dalnria district. Many look lime out on the holi day to decorate graves in the city's cemeteries. The practice ol placing Yule tributes on graves is a growing one and is coming close to matching Memorial Day. wot everyone enjoyed Christmas at home, for state and city police were on the job in force, particu larly dealing with traffic while city firemen were at the stations awaiting calls that did not materialize. Hospital staffers, too. were on the job, hut were not called upon to care for any serious traffic casualties. All in all, it was a Christmas which brought joy to the young sters and the grownups alike, and a cheerful homecoming in many aaicm lamiuen. Know Your Pastor Salem Youth.

By MARGUERITE GLEESON Capital Journal Writer A game of golf or an hour of bowling are the favorite forms of recreation for Rev. Joseph E. Van derbeck, pastor of St. Joseph's Catholic parish in Salem. Recreation, however, often has to bow out entirely because of the duties and demands of the 1,3 family parish of which he is the spiritual director. But when pos sible in company with a fellow priest or other friends, he will be found at the Salem Golf club or in the winter months at one of the Salem lanes. The records of the church of St. Louis, Oregon, show of the marriage of his parents and the baptisms of many of his family. Although he was born in Green Bay, Wis., his parents returned to Oregon to reside in Salem when he was two years old. Came from Astoria He went to school at Sacred Heart Academy and at Bethel school, seven miles north of Salem. He made his studies for the priesthood in Wisconsin and California and was ordained m Portland May 21. 1932. He was assistant at the Cathe dral in Portland for five years and went to Oswego parish in 1937 as pastor. In 1943 he went to Astoria where he was until he came to St. Josephs in Salem in late August, 1951. Since coming here he has been in charge of the parish building program which has included a new church, an addition to the paroch ial school, new rectory and gym nasium, at a cost of upwards of J75O.0O0. In the administration of the par ish Father Vanderbeck has the help of two assistants and he is quick to give credit to "these two capable priests", Rev. James Har ris and Rev. Vincent Cunnif. Leads' New Store Father Vanderbeck retains the direction of some of the parish organizations in his own hands, the Altar society, the Parents club, Legion of Mary, Holy Name society and St. Vincent de Paul sc:iety. He has been the prime mover In the recent establishment of the St Vincent dcPaul store in downtown Salem. With six complete services at St. Joseph's on Sunday Father Vanderbeck takes a regular turn. These "shifts" include for each priest the early 6 o'clock mass, the preaching shift, helping with the distribution of communion. hearing confessions before the masses, or the late high mass. Favors Mid-Valley When asked about how he likes Salem, Father Vanderbeck admits he has always been partial to the mid-Willamette valley and "Salem is my favorite city, combining the hominess of the small town with the efficiency of a big city. "I would prefer a smaller parish where there is less administrative work and more time for direct contact with members of the par ish. However the archbishop is the one who decides where we shall be and for how long." Father Vanderoeck has been in Salem for five years and four months and next May will observe the 25th anniversary of his ordi nation. 27 Adults, One Juvenile in Jail On Chris I mas Day The county jail reported business as usual Christmas day although the juvenile section almost greeted the holiday without a guest.

He is part of a check-passing ring that was re cently broken up by county and city officers.' The youth will be 18 Thursday, at which time he would be eligible for a bunk in the adult section.
