Hood River Apple Vinegar COM

pork and beans. The first COM

The beans at present being used

ever, says that local orchardists
will be encouraged to grow beans.
During the war period it was
found that the sandy soil of the
West Side districts produced a
bean of high quality, and the crop,
it is believed may be developed to
one of profit for orchardists. The

adopted son and held them for
seven hours as hostages for his
own protection against posses, and
was shot and killed by Herman
Pregge, a local noted rifleman,
after Fagan had repeatedly stated
he would kill the two men at sun
down.
Among those who testified were
Mrs. Miller, who appeared to be
suffering from her terrible expert
ences: Herman Pregge. who shot
Fagan, and Marshal Bill Hart and
w. Walters, who played prominent
parts in pleading with the desper-
ado for the lives of the women.
The jury returned a verdict of
justifiable homicide, generating
members of the posse, without
mentioning Pregge's name, and
declaring that Pagan met his
death while defying law and order
and threatening to murder Mrs.
Miller and her daughter.

Recreation
important
Says Worker

Although the minister of the
west is not so hide-bound as the
minister of the east in bookish
matters, according to Mary f..
Samson, head of the recreational
work at the Willamette schools for
city and rural pastors, his mind
should be made more receptive to
new ideas along the lines of recre-
ational activity. And that is what
she is here tod do, she says.
Miss Samson talked a few min
utes this morning before leaving
Salem for work in other fields of
a similar nature to that which
she has been conducting here. She
is officially director of women s
work, board of home missions. and
church extension of the Methodist
church, but in the summer she
puts her whole time and interest
in the cause of supervised play.
II am bit of radical along that
line" she admitted. in a way that
shows her enthusiasm.
"The opportunity to reach the
child is so much greater on the
playground than in the Sunday
school. In the Sunday school he
listens for half hour; perhaps he
is interested or maybe he isn't
But on the playground he enters
into what he does with enthus
iasm, and there is a chance t
teach him honesty and sportsman
ship and to allow him to learn
other fundamental things in the
building of character"
Many ministers are backward in
taking up the support of recrea-
tional work, she stated, some
through lack of interest while 9TH
ers are actually hostile. What
Miss Sampson wants to accomplish
here is to bring the preacher
around to positive attitude on
the matter, so that he will return
to his home ready to support the
work carried on by other organiza
tions or to inaugurate such a
movement through the church.
"The trouble with the pastors
attitude towards the municipal
playground is that it often toler-
ates Sunday baseball and dane
ing. ."
What do I think of dancing?"
she asked in response to the inter-
ruption. when l took up this
work I firmly resolved to stay off
the question as dangerous
ground" she said, although her
manner intimated that she might
not be too stern or scrupulous in
regards to the matter. However
will say this, that with the ex-
ception of the last general confer
ence of the Methodist church there
has been a steady falling away
from the traditional opposition to
the dance" Theoretically the thea
ter has been on par with the dance
as one of the deadly sins, but
churches everywhere are building
stages in their community houses
and are encouraging the drama.
Before going Miss Samson said
that Salem was losing a big oppor-
tunity through the absence of q
playground where the children OF
the city could gather daily. But
the daily vocational Bible school
partly takes its place and is GER
tainly a worthy undertaking." she
added.
