Into Seclusion
e
On Oregon Coast
Portland OJ.PJ Mrs. Mar-
jorie Smith, acquitted of the
car-bomb slaying of her attorney
husband, was reported in seclu
sion Saturday while authorities
planned the next step in the
prosecution of Victor Laurence
Wolf who has admitted planting
a bomb in3 Kermit Smith's car
last April.
To Confer With Judge
District Attorney William M.
Langley said he would confer
with Presiding Circuit Judge
James R. Bain next week about
Wolf.; The 45-year-old electric
ian, who was the state's chief
witness against Mrs. Smith, con
fessed the crime under provis-
ions of a seldom-used statute
which permits such a plea.
. Langley said he plans to ask
Judge Bain to set a date for a
formal hearing. "My plan is to
present all the facts to the jury
at this hearing, which will be
held to determine what penalty
will be imposed,", Langley said.
Two Types of Sentence
Under the law Wolf could be
sent to the gas chamber or to
prison for life.
Mrs. Smith was reported to
have gone to a beach cottage
south of Tillamook after the
jury returned its verdict Fri
day in McMinnville.
One of th etinies thoofed mam
mals is the mouse deer or Chev
rotain of tropical Asia and Afri
ca. About a foot high, the male
is hornless but has short tusks.

Pioneer Post Office
Said Not Qualified
Portland (U.R) Secretary of
Interior Douglas McKay does not
think Portland's Pioneer Post
Office would qualify for the na
tional park system.
McKay, in a letter to City
Auditor Will Gibson, said "In
the absence of outstanding or
notable events associated with
this building and site, which
would give it national signifi
cance, I am of the opinion that
it would not qualify for inclu
sion in the national park system,
Hope that such federation ac
tion would preserve the old
building was expressed recently
after the General Services Ad
ministration announced the
structure and site would be put
up for public auction.

night.
Every year, before a big game,

things with a noise parade down
through town. Citizens seem
puzzled at first and then realize
what all of the racket is about.
Well-deserved credit goes to
Mr. Wolf's art classes for the
terrific job they did in painting
the signs for the noise parade
floats. Much time and patience
went into each sign and the work
was greatly appreciated.

Two well known Jacksonville
brothers, Wesley and Loyal Hart-
I man, held their annual Hallow-
een open house party at their
home on 404 North Fifth st. for
Jacksonville children Monday
evening, Oct. 31.
The brothers began the cus
tom for the entertainment of
Jacksonville youngsters on Hal
loween in 1931. The idea is an
entirely voluntary one and the
brothers split the expenses be
tween them. Their reason for
having the parties is that they
"just like kids."
This year, in spite of the rain
which kept part of the 'Trick or
Treat' crowd at home, the broth
ers passed out 254 candy bars
and. at one time during the eve
ning had 70 children in the hall
way and main living room, at
which time Wesley Hartman said
he went to the celler and braced
the floor to add extra support.
At 8 p.m. 46 prizes went to
youngsters as well as cans of
peanuts making a total of 64
prizes in all. The Hartmans said
that each year the party gets
larger. This year after counting
122 children they lost count of
just how many did participate.
