Tat man's nomination was unop posed. Elections will be held in August. Tatman Introduced a resolu tion at the convention condemn ing the state liquor commission for the low salaries paid to em ployees.

The convention was also in harmony with William Green's decision to let the mine workers union back into the federation, and agreed on the no-strike during the dura tion policy. .

The program includes schools, road, docks, etc. In Portland also, Tatman at tended the state culinary al liance convention. Snell Predicts Maintenance of Pension Program SALEM.

Spirit of St. Dismas Slips into Poor Tenement Home With "No Strings" Fund By CARROLL ARIMOND CHICAGO. June 29 i-P) The spirit of St. Dismas. patron saint of those whom life has pushed around, slipped into a little ten ement on the West Side yester day and turned a sultry June day into something akin to Christmas. Edward Clemente, his frail wife and their six children found themselves with a check for $375, a fortune to this family that has found lifes highway running mostly uphill. It was theirs to spend as they wished. The money was collected among friends of Dempster Mac- Murphy, late utilities and news- paper executive who selected Dismas as his personal saint and devoted years to publicizing this forgotten inhabitant of paradise. Dismas, the "good thief of the Crucifixion, MacMurphy found, was least venerated among the saints of Christendom even though he was the only one to be canonized personally by Christ himself. MacMurphy called him a mine run thief, "a hoodlum saint who roams the outfield of eternity making shoe string catches of souls. MacMurphy, business mana ger of the Chicago Daijy News, died in 1939. This year one of his wide collection of friends, TiODy berritella, Loop news stand operator, thought both MacMurphy and St. Dismas should be honored by some good deed. Tibby struck1 upon the idea of a "no-strings-to-it" fund to be given some needy person. "What I mean by 'no strings,' " Tibby explained, "is whoever gets it can pay up their bills or bet it on a horse." The idea caught on with MacMurphy's friends and soon Tibby had $375. A-priest, a rabbi and a minis ter scoured the poor neighbor hoods near downtown Chicago and found several nominees for recipient. The Clemente family finally was selected. When a delegation called at the tenement and delivered the money, the children stood in awe for the brief presentation ceremony. Then one shouted, "Hooray for St. Dismas. He's a regular guy." And St. Dismas. accordinz to MacMurphy's many preach ments, is a "regular guy" saint for regular guys. Chemical Concerns .

POST-WAR CHIME I : 1 The block leader council of the Civilian Service corps met at the chamber of commerce Fri day noon and listened to an out line of a welfare project by Mrs. Altha Urquhart, public welfare director. Mrs. Urquhart stated that there is a very definite need for homes for children of moth ers working outside the home in Klamath Falls and the suburban area. There were found to be about 860 women in this com munity who are employed, about two-thirds of whom have chil dren, when a preliminary survey was made some months ago. There are probably more now. The railroads and box factories say that there is much absentee ism due to the problem of care for the children of tnese workers. Airs. Urquhart presented a questionnaire which she request ed the block leaders take into each home to ascertain how many children there were whose moth ers would like to avail them selves of day care, and to list the homes who would be willing to take in children to care for while the mothers were working away from home. Mrs. Urquhart said that even with the present day nurseries and the new nurs ery school that will shortly be opened at Mills school, which is being sponsored by the Soropti mist club, the facilities were still inadequate to take care of all children needing this care. She emphasized the fact that the wel fare department is not encourag ing women who have children to go into outside work, but is making an effort to take proper care of children whose mothers must, or wish to go into indus trial work. The block leader council ap proved this survey as their next project and work will be started on it immediately. Lynn Roycroft made a fervent appeal to all block leaders and all in the Civilian Service corps to work on whatever the head quarters office asks us to do. since it is very , necessary that every household be prepared for emergencies, and have the proper information. He further stated that Klamath Falls is in the cen ter of a veritable tinder box, and that the community should be roused to the fact that. "It Can Happen Here" and if the com munity . is not prepared, . it will be just too bad. CIVILIAN. SERVICE MEET A joint meeting of all Civilian Service corps, including area leaders, precinct leaders and block leaders is called for Wed nesday evening, June 30, at 7:30 at the Fremont auditorium. It is important that all workers be present if possible, to receive in struction on the procedure of the welfare survey. New tires to run without tubes are being built, but they will not be available for a while.
