8ALEM. July U i West
Salem voters approved Tuesday
proposal to merge with the city
of Salem, directly across the Willamette-
river. The vote was 357
to 130,
Salem voters will ballot on the
merger in the near luuire.
The merger, if completed, would
add about 2800 persons to the
present Salem population of about
50.000. West Salem Mayor Walter
Musgrave has been a leader in the
proposal which also had the back
ing of his city council and lead
ing West Salem Industrialists.
Salem Mayor R. L. Elfstxom said
the election results were gratify
ing and promised an early oppor
tunity for Salem electors to cast
bailout on the issue.
The fact that the neighboring
towns have allied municipal prob
lems and are forced to consolidate
their work in major civic plans
promoted the merge move. West
Salem is pesentiy included in the
Salem school district and receives
fire protection and emergency water
supplies from the larger city.

A Drama Of The Road
By FRANK JRIPP
Jean Belasco had a pony act
which played In vaudeville in win
ter. Joined a small circus or became
a tiny circus all by itself in summertime.
One day Jean walked into our
newsroom and told Charlie Barber,
the news editor, a hard luck story.
No work tor long, dull times and
ponies to be fed had exhausted every
penny that he had.
He was at the end of his rope ana
needed a friend. Though a stranger
to us. he sure hit the right guy when
he found Charlie.
Jean's outfit was Intact. His little
tent, gadgets and banners were
packed in the single truck that
transported the entire enterprise.
His ponies trudged behind tor the
short week-end jumps between
hamlets. But there was no place to
go and no money to move the show
if there had been.
Charlie said: "Why don't you set
up and play here for a week, to get
on your feet again?"
"This is a pretty big town for my
little show." said Jean. "I've no way
to let folks know rm here. In
cleaned clean."
Forget it," said Charlie. "Find a
lot on the outskirts and go to It."
I cant buy any advertising." said
the showman.
Well, I still can write a press
notice." said Charlie, "and this sheet
rm working for is soft on show
folks. Its publisher once walked the
ties back home a busted trouper.
Just like yoa
So Jean found a lot and Charlie
wrote some stories about the little
exhibition. Folks went out to see the
show, which was as wholesome and
clever as it was tiny. Jean made a
little suite for himself, thanked
Charlie from the bottom of his
heart and took to the road again.
Belasco drove his own truck from
village to village. He set up and
ballybooed his show: fed. bedded
and groomed his ponies: did it all
with cheap local help as he moved
along. He didn't deserve the heart
aches and the fate which befell him.
It was lore of the life and for his
ponies which made him stick it out.
He was Just making expenses as
he moved southward. He kept his
pony family together and watched
for the telegram which every strug
gling trouper awaits: "Join the fif
teenth: twenty weeks guaranteed
Such glad news was never to reach
Jean. The truck that carried him
on his weary way chugged onto a
railroad crossing in Virginia and
stalled. A train waa coming. Jean
was killed.
It needs be said again and often,
that no kinder, bigger hearts beat
than those ot the world ot make
believe. A good Samaritan of stage
or big top almost always happens
along when a showman Is in trouble.
No one thereabouts knew anything
about Belasco except that he was
an obscure performer and dead.
The potters' field could have
claimed htm. but the Samaritan ap
peared. He was Tex Sherman, itin
erant carnival and rodeo press agent.
That was tine, except that Tex
was in the same fix that got us
acquainted with Jean. He was broke,
too. Nevertheless Jean must have a
funeral: so he told the skeptical
undertaker.
Tex consulted his Billboard, the
showman's Bible. The local tele
graph office got a dosen Identical
telegrams, addressed to as many
performers across the land. All went
collect and they read:

Tex bought Jean a casket, got him

before the service was to begin he

thing." He dashed away and came
back with a bouquet of flowers.
Tex put the flowers on the casket.
