Woman is expert in use of ski s
Mrs. R.A. Hughes, who has been
visiting her brother, J.E. Turpin of
Bend, for the past month, made the
first 90 miles of her journey to Bend
on skis, five and a half days being used
in traveling from her home at Alpine,
Idaho, to Cascades, the nearest rail-
road station.
Mrs. Hughes left this morning for
Cottage Grove to spend a few days
with relatives before returning to her
home.
Bend girl unhurt by loss of blood
Miss Mildred Klein of Bend is none
the worse for having given her blood
in a transfusion operation at St. Vin-
cent’s hospital in Portland Saturday,
while her sister, Mrs. Grace Tull, into
whose veins the fresh supply of blood
was transferred, was given sufficient
strength to undergo an operation for
empyema. This was the information
received this morning by the father J.J.
Klein of this city.
Mrs. Tull had become weakened
through long illness a nd before she
could be operated on, transfusion was
deemed necessary by the attending
physicians. Miss Klein took the first
train out of Bend on learning of her
sister’s need.
Mill opening not definite says manager
The outlook for the resumption of
maximum capacity operation at The
Shevlin-Hixon Company mill for
the first half of the year is to promis-
ing. Reduction in prices has failed to
strengthen the demand for pine and
the condition of the market is virtually
the same as in December. Production
cannot be undertaken at a more rapid
rate than the product of the mills can
be sold.
This, in brief, was the statement
given out this morning by T.A. Mc-
Cann general manager for The
Shevlin-Hixon Company, on his re-
turn to Bend from a trip to the Ha-
waiian islands. Before Mr. McCann’s
departure it had been tentatively un-
derstood that production, not neces-
sarily on an maximum capacity basis,
would be started by March 1. This,
however, cannot be, Mr. McCann
says. What the later date of opening
will be he was unable to definitely to
announce. The surplus in the yards,
which it was thought might be shipped
out by March 1, has been reduced but
slightly.
Championship goes to Bend
A whirlwind finish of the 1921 in-
terscholastic basketball season of Cen-
tral Oregon gave Bend the champion-
ship when Coach Horton’s boys took
the long end of a 20 to 16 score from
Prineville last night. The game, played
on the floor of the local gymnasium,
was witnessed by the biggest turnout
of fans this year. Bitterly contested
point by point, the score stood 16 to
16 at the end of the second half. Three
minutes more of play was decided
on by the officials and Brosterhous
and Orwell each found the basket.
Prineville blanked in the extra period
of play.
By last night’s victory the Bend team
is entitled to the trip to Salem the sec-
ond week in March, to take part in the
state interscholastic basketball tourna-
ment, March 10, 11 and 12.

Bend acquires ball diamond
in quick move
Bend today was assured a new base-
ball field, as a result of action taken
last night by the city commission.
Convinced after a survey that
the grounds on which the govern-
ment trailer camp was erected at East
Fourth street and Roosevelt avenue
were suitable, Commissioners Ger-
ald W. McCann and Melvin Munkers
quickly voted to buy the property
from the county. Mayor A.T. Nieber-
gall was absent. County commissioner
A.E. Stevens, who was present, said
that it would take about four weeks to
complete the transaction.
Delegation from the chamber of
commerce, the Jaycees and the John
L. Chute post of the American Legion
were present to urge quick acquisition
of the property and its development.
Likewise the commission had before
it a strong plea from the Elks lodge,
signed by Exalted ruler R.A. Gergu-
son. The Chute post is sponsoring a
junior baseball league here.
Agitation for a new field grew after
reports that the city was considering
using O’Donnell field for industrial
warehouse sites. Representatives of the
different civic and fraternal organiza-
tions were asked to make a survey of
the city for a new baseball field and
they reported the old trailer camp as
the most favorable.
Thirty Bend residents
would ‘adopt’ 1 dog
There were at least 30 local dog lov-
ers who were disappointed today, but
there was at least one contented dog
and a happy owner, Bend police re-
ported. Yesterday The Bulletin pub-
lished a story that the officers were
holding a golden cocker spaniel which
they did not care to dispose of if they
could find it a good home.
Immediately after the paper was out
the police headquarters were deluged
with telephone calls, and they were
still coming in today. Not long after
the paper was distributed Mrs. Clar-
ence Curtis, 205 Hunter place called
and claimed the dog. Throughout the
evening calls came in and the officers
listed 21 of them before they got tired.
Many of those who called expressed
disappointment in not getting the dog,
and asked officers to save them one
should they get more “like him.”
Bushong elected superintendent;
Jewell named Bend High principal
James W. Bushong, principal of
Bend high school, was elected super-
intendent of public schools by the
school board at a meeting held last
night. R.E. Jewell, vice-principal, was
named to succeed to the principalship
of the high school under a one year
contract. The new superintendent has
a two year contract with a renewable
option each year, and takes office July
1, 1946, at the beginning of the next
school year.
Bushong will succeed Howard W.
George, superintendent of schools for
the past seven years, whose resigna-
tion takes effect June 30, 1946. Jewell,
who served as principal the past three
years during Bushong’s period of navy
service, will assume his new duties
July 1, 1946.

Three Bend residents receive
distinguished service awards
Bend boosters were out in force last
night as leaders of the community
honored three persons with the city’s
annual distinguished service awards.
Vince Genna, Wesley K. Price and
Mrs. Iris Ward were given the Senior
First Citizen, Junior First Citizen and
Woman of the Year awards, respec-
tively. The annual awards were spon-
sored by the Bend Junior Chamber of
Commerce.
A near-capacity crowd attended
the awards ceremony, held following
a dinner at the Bend Golf Club. All
three awards were kept a secret un-
til the ceremony. Genna was given
the award by telephone connection
to Washington D.C., where he was
representing the city at a nationwide
“Clean-Up Congress.” As chairman
of the city’s beautification programs,
Genna yesterday received an award in
behalf of Bend from Mrs. Richard M.
Nixon.
“You’re kidding me,” Genna said
as he heard of the award from Bend
Mayor E. Albert Moody. Moody, last
year’s recipient of the Senior First Cit-
izen Award, cited Genna’s continued
participation in American Legion
Baseball and parks and recreation pro-
grams. Genna received the Junior First

Citizen Award in 1955.
Price, an employe of the U.S. Na-
tional Bank, was cited for his “unself-
ish community efforts for the past 7
years,” by Frank Cammack, last year’s
recipient of the award. Price is active
in the Bend Lions Club, and has held
local and statewide offices in the Jay-
cees.
Mrs. Ward received the award from
Mrs. R.B. Dexter, last year’s recipient,
for her “continued efforts in behalf of
a variety of organizations.” Mrs. Ward
was cited as an active member of the
League of Women Voters, the School
District Budget Board, the Central Or-
egon Crisis Service and several other
organizations.

Bend planners ask city law
to preserve historic sites
The Bend Planning Commission
last night recommended the city es-
tablish a procedure to designate cer-
tain buildings and sites in the city as
“of historical or architectural interest.”
In a two-page letter to the city com-
mission, the planning commission
asked the establishment of a system by
which buildings or sites might qualify
for preservation if that preservation
would be “in the public interest.”
The planning commissioners asked
the city to draft an ordinance which
will allow for such a system to “pre-
serve the continuity and unique char-
acter of our city.” In its recommenda-
tions, the commission asked that the
ordinance allow only buildings which
continued to be used to be preserved,
and that special safety and building
regulations be allowed to preserve
them.

Council to rework parking
Bend city councilors, eager to ease
a downtown parking crunch may go
further and faster than a consultant
recommended in some areas, such as a
parking garage and use of a “boot” to
immobilize the cars of scofflaws.
“We’ve got to get tough,” councilor
Bob Woodward said Wednesday night,
urging that the device be locked to a
vehicle’s wheel if three overtime park-
ing tickets pile up. In his report, con-
sultant Dan Brame of Kimley-Horn
and Associates in Portland recom-
mended an ordinance that would al-
low booting for one or more citations,
but a city policy not to use the device
until vehicles have racked up at least
five tickets.
Brame told councilors all of the cit-
ies he knows offer some kind of leni-
ency or tolerance level, since one ticket
could be lost, blown off a windshield
or acquired by a younger driver who
doesn’t pass it on to his or her parents.
A 270-space, three-level parking ga-
rage with retail shops on the ground
floor could cost $3.7 million to $6.1
million, Brame said, depending on if
city-owned land is used at the Oregon
Street Mall location or another site
must be acquired in the downtown
core.
“You’re right on the edge of needing
this,” Brame said, urging that planning
proceed when new downtown devel-
opment adds a need for 50 to 75 more
parking spaces. But several councilors
said parking garage efforts should be-
gin now, and others agreed.
Linda Wood of Legends Public
House on Oregon Avenue said cus-
tomers often complain about finding
no place to park and must circle the
block several times.
No serious objections were raised
to any of the proposals, which include
doubling the overtime parking fee for
downtown visitors from $5 to $10. To
make it a uniform amount, the $25
ticket for downtown employees who
stay too long in one spot would be
dropped to $10. However, enforce-
ment would be stepped up and towing
or booting could occur after 25 days,
$45 in penalties and two warning let-
ter, one by certified mail.
A fee downtown businesses must
pay in lieu of required additional
parking would jump from the current
$500 to $3,000 per parking space to
adequately reflect development costs.
Councilors backed proposals to man-
age parking demand, such as discount
permit rates for prime spaces in park-
ing lots that would be available for
ride-sharing.
Brame said he understood the city’s
desire to move on a parking garage but
urged that some time be given to see
what changes such as moving 30 per-
mit-holders out of the Mirror Pond
lots will do to parking demand and
availability.
