County Treasurers
To Meet Next Sept
Evelyn Downing. Linn county
treasurer and president of the
Oregon Asatx-iation of county
treasurers said this week that
the 1963 state convention would

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

colors"
from some of the

"I've had it.” He and Mrs.
Slaton hav«* gone into the "One
Hour Martinizing" Imsiness in
Albany. Their skigan is "The
MOST in DRY Cleaning." In
talking with the captain it is
easy to gather they are well
pleased with their equipment
and business in Albany.
Ik says "With instant coffee
and a three-minute car wash
and planes that make trips
New York to Ixindon in less
time than it takes many com-
milters to get to their job. the
American ixiblic is fast becom
ing accustomed not to wait
until tomorrow to get his suit
cleaned and pressed.
Captain and Mrs. Slaton ex
tend a welcome to their many
Mill City friends to visit them
at their new shop in Albany.

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.

With tougher competition and
the challenge of a new league

to be on hustle, said CoacJi
Boroughs. This is one of the
most hightly competitive leagues
in the state with all the schools

and local fans will gets its first

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.
