Fryer Today in Salem A new calendar has been pro posed that Is even more ad vanced than ihe so - catted "World" calendar. The latter would have each quarter of the year Identical, with the one ex tra day as a world holiday (two extra days In Leap Year). The new calendar, proposed by the York, Pa., Craftsmen Club, would have the week end on Mon day to make that day more bear able. An extra week would be added to each month to give plenty of time to get out those last-minute rush jobs. The 1st, 10th and 25lh of the month would be eliminated, thus ridding us of most of our bills. This idea has merit.' x Telephones in cars, trains, etc., are pretty commonplace any more but one Salem conveyance that probably Is unique In hav ing a phone Is the elevator in the Oregon building. Nope, It's not for passenger's use, says operator. It's for use of main tenance and building personnel. San Francisco University basket ball fans found Saturday night that when OSC officials ask that fans stay off the floor, they mean it. In the 1956 NCAA regional finals. announcement asked for fans to stay off the playing floor after the game. But San Francisco group poured onto floor after their team won, disrupted post came cere monies and possibly marred the smooth basketball floor with cleats and gritty soles on their shoes. Last Saturday, Just before game ended, , the same announce ment was made. But San Fran cisco group (which for other reasons will probably never win any sportsmanship prizes, any way) was poised to jump onto floor. As they left the bleachers, however, they found themselves met by solid line of husky Beav er athletes. A few tried to slip through or around the end of the line but were quickly collar ed and put back on the outside of the line. Another interested city heard from in connection with sponsor ing a Soap Box Derby.

STONE Capital Journal Associate Editor The plan for a multi-purpose ouhlic building for Salem, located on the Oregon State Fairgrounds, that has been developed by trie Oregon National Guard in consul tation with the Chamber of Com merce, city officials and other lo cal interests.was presented at City Hall Tuesday night for general discussion. The plan would give the city and the state a building costing an estimated $8?2.0B9. Of this the federal government would share something like $347,197 from funds now available. Source of Funds This would leave $524,891 to come from Ihe slate, the city and Mar ion County. Very speculatively, Senator Lee Ohmarl told Ihe meet ing, the stale might appropriate $300,000 or $225,000, leaving about $300,000 to be provided by city and county. Federal interest in the proposed project is that ihe building would he for mililary usage. The stale's interest is Ihe same, and addition ally that it would ho used as an exhibit building for women's ac tivities during State Fair week. The city and county interest is that the building would include an auditorium with seating capacity of 5,000 and would serve multi purpose usage, such as public pro grams and sports events. Plan Described The general plan was described by Ma). Gen. Thomas E. Rilea, adjutant general, who said he would prefer that the building be ! known as a community center in-1 stead of an armory. Senator Ohmarl said Ihe Marion County delegation should have a sounding of local sentiment on the project wilhin 3 days lor guid ance in t-ikmg it to the legislature. ! Claude A. Miller, president of the. Chamber ol Commerce, who called the meeting, said he would appoint a committee for that purpose, i Mavor Robert F.

At the outset of the campaign the Marion-Polk Medical Society obligated' its members io assist only m ihe first round of immu nizations. The Society met Tues day night and no opposition was voiced against proceeding with the program.

Gams Guilty Of Mail Theft PORTLAND un ' Russell B. Carris, 56, one-time Grants Pass resident, Tuesday was convicted of mail theft by a jury in U. S. district court here. Judge William G. East sentenced him to 3i years in prison alter saying, "In view of your past rec ord I must consider you a men ace to society." Garris has a record of six fel ony convictions since 1925. The prosecution said Garris took some letters while calling at a house where he went in the hope of locating -his ex-wife. COST is approved, a special election should be called on a money-rais ing measure, or if it could wait for the next regular election date in May, 1958. General Rilea indicated that haste was not necessary and the plan could be held m abeyanco a year or two, although for armory purposes a building is an immedi ate need. He said he would not ask this session of the Legislature lor an armory appropriation unless Ihe community accepts the pro ject as presented. Leo Spitzbnrt, State Fair man ager, expressed himself in favor of the project, hut was unable to speak officially. Hoy Rice, counly commissioner, expressed doubt that the. counly would want to participate in (he project because 'of miiiage taxes necessary for rural road biiildinir.
