Some Woodburn lady requested the Independent to- print the ten com mandments on the front page last week, giving as her reason that a Woodburn minister had represented to her (when he was circulating a petition for the Sunday closing o f the Woodburn movies) that the owner o f the theatre wished to close his show On Sunday so that he and his wife could have a day off. She signed the petition, but found the facts not as represented. The Independent did not print the commandments, nor even the ninth one to which the lady evidently referred. It would be inter esting to know how many Woodburn people (or those o f any other place) can actually repeat the ten command ments or even tell where they arei found.
