Linn county treasurer and president of the Oregon Asatx-iation of county treasurers said this week that the 1963 state convention would I m * in September. In the past the conventions have tx-en held in November but that is the time of year when th«- •rcasurera should be in their oflce due to the heavy tax ¡mying ume. The recent convention was held in Portland when a num ber of resolutions and changes were made. The Association will make a request to the Bureau of l^ind Management that th«- ch«*cks tor counties of O & C funds be de liverable dir«-ctly to the county treasurer. Many treasurers re- ported instances of several days elapsing before the chrcks reached them, thus losing hun dreds of dollars in potential eamuigs. A committee was ap|x>int«-d to compile a model home rule charter to be submit!«-«! to the next stat«- convention.

Citizens Building Committee To Meet At Elementary School November 29th The Citizens Building Com mittee. made up of some 30 area residents, will meet in room 12 of the main elementary sch«»! building Thursday, November 29 at 7:30 to discuss with the school board what is to be done about the lack of classroom space at Mill City Elementary school. In a news release published Tuesday night in a Salem news paper it stated that this was to be a public meeting. This is not true, and school olficials state there will be a public meeting later on, after this first fact- finding meeting is held. The school board and the school superintendent believe that it is advisable to discuss the plan or plans prior to having a pub lic meeting, as it is easier to work with a small group at the planning sessions in any pro gram. As stated last week in The Enterprise, ample notice of a general meeting will be given when all interested will be in vited to come.

AngeL With tougher competition and the challenge of a new league and teams,emphasis will have to be on hustle, said CoacJi Boroughs. This is one of the most hightly competitive leagues in the state with all the schools being larger than Santiam. Santiam expects to put a re presentative team on the floor and local fans will gets its first glimpse of local hoopsters on December 7 with a non-league game with Amity High school.

Slides On Israel Shown To Lions Lions, their wives and guests were treated to a special pro gram Monday night when Mr. and Mrs. Louis Hom of Sa lem showed slides on Israel. Mrs. Horn is a native of Jeru salem and Mr. Horn was bom in England. He served with the British army in that country so both were well versed on their subject. In their showing of slides there were many scenes of old ruins dating back 2,000 years or more. It was interesting to see the huge walls and buildings which were constructed in the early days, all by hand labor. It is hard to imagine how these feats of engineering were ac complished. The Homs were accompanied by Clyde Huskey. Both men are with the State Industrial Accident commission in Salem. Other guests introduced in cluded Mr. and Mrs. James Wright and Mrs. Gregg Stevens whose husband was recently in ducted into the club. The dinner was served by members of the Presbyterian Women's association. Mrs. Jim Swan had decorated the tables, using the Christmas theme in the decor. Weather, Detroit Dam T A. M.
