IVClDE.Vr RECALLED apit al AJou nal Eola School Marks Century of Service Salem, Oregon, Wednesday, May 28, 1938 city for handling hard fisted boyi in the first and second grades who refused to shave. Always there was unrestrained hostility between teacher and pupils, some of whom were almost as old and just as strong as tha teacher. Brunk recalled the fighting Hay-dens. Bill was Jim win's most troublesome pupil. One day he decided to make an example of Bill for stomping into the school room with gobs of mud on his stogies.

For a while Bill held his own with the teacher and Estelle, Bill's younger sister, looked on with amused indifference. -Came a moment when Gwin got the upper hand and it appeared that Bill was in for the whaling of his life. Estelle 's indifference changed to fury and she sprang into the affray with feline ferocity. Her heavy slate was aimed to hit old man Gwin between his eyes. But tha blow richocheted and the slata caught Gwin flat on the head.

Splinters of slate flew in all directions and Gwin found himself fixed with a jagged, sharp collar that dug in however he moved. Other pupils, who now comprehended their preceptor's helpless condition, joined the affray and in no time at all Mr. Gwin was out and school adjourned for a pleasant day in the mid-1860s.

at Second and Mill street in Eola. Oregon Territory, to Polk County for school purposes. The consideration was $35. James L. Gwin was first teacher in this second Eola school that would now be 100 years old had not the pioneer building been replaced by the present structure in 1938.

The present schoolhouse, built in late depression times as a W'PA project, cost $12,000. The bell from the 1858 structure was placed in the new schoolhouse, In 1937 Eola School was regard ed as the oldest operating public i school in Oregon. Then there were I 32 pupils in attendance and Mrs. W. G.

He died Sunday after several month's illness. But that's only part of the story. When Lisle, Salem poundmaster, had to quit work several weeks ago because of his illness, he had about seven days sick leave coming. By the time that was used up, fellow police officers had worked up a schedule whereby they took turns working a shift for him. Sometimes it took some rather involved shifting between jobs and shifts but the brass wholeheartedly went along.

So Lisle's paychecks kept rolling in right to the last. Wltk automation.

manager, gave this information in his report, which showed a tonnage increase from 286 tons in 1965 to 1,594 tons in 1957. NEW MEMBERS It was pointed out that the entire increase was not because of an increased tonnage per acre, but partially by the addition of 50 new members. Hansberry suggested refinancing the present mortgage loan over a 10-year period for further improvements. He referred to inshell nuts as "outdated merchandising," and noted the popularity of packaged shelled nuts. The manager urged the coopera- tive to do its own "holding" until the trade can use the nuts, rather than let "scalpers buy up surpluses and hold for higher prices." The auditor for the Nut Grow ers, William G.

Stacy, commend ed the management and directors for their handling of the cooperative in a "difficult year" and said that while the balance sheet was not as strong as they would like to see it, it was stronger than a year ago.

Peterson also told the group that the Nut Growers' mortgage and indebtedness was not "out of proportion." The president of the Nut Growers, H. R. Hildebrandt, told the growers 'that because of the previous year's losses the past year had been the year in the cooperative's history." Erick Nelte, Salem, was elected to the board to replace E. C.
