Need money for
the little things in life?
Raising a family often makes it difficult to raise
money ... for such things as medical bills, clothing
and other expenses. For temporary assistance,
many families turn to HFC, where they find they
may borrow with complete confidence. Household
Finance is America's oldest and largest consumer
finance company, providing a modern loan service
to more than 2,000,000 people each year. So when
you need money to kci-p your family a going con
cern, turn to nil,
These two cities would be
replaced by a pair of strong ma
jor league farm clubs from other
minor loops.
The Coast league would re
ceive a share of radio and tele
vision money which the major
teams get when beaming their
games into PCL territory.
"We think some of that money
belongs to us," O'Connor said.
He would not disclose what
farm teams were under consid
eration nor the percentage the
PCL thinks it should get of a big
league club broadcasting take.
But he indicated that he thought
that coin-in-the slot television
was coming and this has been
mentioned as one of the big lures
for the proposed twin move by
New York and Brooklyn.
All PCL teams were represent
ed yesterday except the Seattle
Rainiers. General Manager Dew
ey Soriano, who last Wednesday
said his club would seek three
million dollars in indemnity if
the league folded, was away in
Alaska while President Emil
Sick was detained by other busi
ness. O'Connor said indemnities
were not discussed, although it
first was announced that the
matter would be brought up.
"We'll go into the matter of in
demnification if a transfer is
made and the big leagues don t
go along with our proposition,"
O'Connor said
O'Connor denied that the
league either was approaching
the majors "hat-in-hand or issu
ing a warning.,
"We are just outlining the
problem which they brought
about, and are asking them to
help us solve it," O'Connor said
"We want to continue open class
ification besaball but don't see
how it can be done under present
circumstances, if some of our
territory is taken."

heritage is "the political and

The former California gover

Warren also said the greatest
challenge to the young gradu

equal to the conquest of the
scientific and technological fron
tiers. A highlight of the program
was presentation of Notre

to Clare Boothe Luce, former
U.S. ambassador to Italy. The
medal is presented annually to

Edith Green Acts in
Behalf of Children
Portland HP Rep. Edith
Green (D-Ore ), came to the res
cue of two German born Ore
Ron children who face the
threat of possible deportation.
The two children, Fleur Irene
Partridge. Bonanza, and James
Thomas Burch, Cave Junction,
both age 12, have resided in Ore
gon nine years.
They were brought here by
Mrs. Carl Hugo Goss, wife of a
Vale minister, who adopted them
in Germany. They were later
adopted by their present parents.
The difficulty arose when
Mrs. Gross brought them into
this country as her own children.
The children never received sta-
I tus as permanent residents and
inns were legally excludible be
cause they did not have proper
documents.
Mrs. Green said she will, if
necessary, introduce a bill in
CfiRjfrtis to prevent any injust
ice V) the ch'Jdren. .
As with any completely redesigned automobile, there
were some early-season production delays on Mercury57.

margin basis. This, plus your
present car's higher trade-in
value, means that now is the
time to make the year's best net
deal on your new Mercury57.
And what a beauty she is ! Clean, functional styling
unlike any other car on the road. Size? Comfort?

tures. Enjoy the fun of owning
