Feeling that concerted action is
the only way to obtain desired re
sults', the Marion-Polk County
Realty association has started a
movement for a community bouse
for the Salem tourist camp
grounds. The proposal was placed
before a meeting of the Salem Fed
eration of Clubs Friday night. The
action recommended by the real
estate association was 6et forth in
two resolutions, with c?rtain rec
ommendations. These resolutions
are as follows:
.w jWhereas, through the immense
publicity ar.d effort which is be
ing put forth by the state Cham
ber of Commerce and the rail
roads serving the northwest, there
will be thousands of tourists vi
Jting the notrhwest and especially
our c ty during this s?asot, and
Whereas, our tourists' camp
ground facilities are inadequate
for the proper care of these
guests, and
Whereas, the city park funds
and city finances are inadequate
at the present time for such im
provements as seem necessary, and
Whereas, a community buildit-g
containing an auditorium and oth
er conveniences for guests is
deemed to be one of the necessary
Improvements, and
Whereas. Salem is singularly
blessed , with a harmonious and
unified civic, business, and labor
organizations, and this unity could
best be expressed to the traveling
public by a permanent testimonial

Be it resolved first, that we

Attractive objects noted by tour

through communities are not for
gotten and often prove to the one
thing by which a city is remem
bered. Proof of this is evinced in a let
ter recently received by Mayor
John B. Giesy from Mrs. J. A. Fe
senbeck, wife of an attorney at
Cloquet, Minn., which requests in
formation regarding the Waite me
morial fountain on the state house
grounds. Mrs. Fesenbeck is now
chairman of her citty's park board
and is anxious to have fountain
similar to the one in Salem In
stalled in Cloquet. Mayor Giesy,

has replied to her request, giving
all information available upon the
situation. The letter from Mrs.
Fesenbeck is as follows t
"While visiting In your city a
year ago I was much interested
in the fountains located on the
grounds of the Capitol. Within
the past year and a half I have
crossed our United States, inspect
ing ornamental fountains in every
city where I stopped, and of them
all, the two "umbrella" fountains
in Salem were the most unique.
As a member of our local park
board, I had charge of the con
struction of an ornamental foun
tain in one of our parks. I tried
through two different channels to
get some information about the
construction of the fountain head,
which causes. the water to flow
out in the shape of an umbrella,
but received no reply to my let
ters. Now I know of no other
way but to appeal to you realizing
that this is only one of many
strange requests that come to a
mayor's office. However, I trust
I may get the information for
which I am seeking.
Will you kindly let me know
whether these fountain heads were
purchased ready made from some
firm, and if bo, where can I buy
one? Or, if they were made by
some plumber, can I obtain the
working plans? Also, if the latter
is the case, would any patent
rights bee infringed if I had one
constructed?
We have a temporary head on
our fountain but it is unsatisfac
tory to me, and I have never been
able to relinquish the idea that
some day we may have an "um
brella" fountain like those in the
capitol grounds in Salem. I assure
you I shall appreciate greatly any
information you may send."

IDEA OF
BETTER HOME PLAN
Movement National in Scope
and Strictly Educational,
in Purpose
That the "Better Homes" move
ment, which was launched by the
Delineator in 1921, is educational
in nature and not for advertising
purposes, is the explanation made
by Mrs. Winnie Pettyjohn, who has
charge of the movement in Salem
in connection with the national ob
servation. Those fostering the
movement had in view the purpose
of bringing constructive thought to
the problems of home-making, to
show the way to more comfortable,
better-equipped houses, and to set
up higher standards of living.
Since its inception, the movement
has been incorporated as a nation
al public service, under the presi
dency of Herbert Hoover, and has
established its own headquarters
in Washington, D. C. Last year
more than 1000 cities throughout
the United States participated.
Official hostesses will be on
duty at all hours, acting in the
capacity of residents, and will be
on hand to greet the arrivals'and
to explain anything that they may
wish to know. Two houses have
already been obtained for the dis
plays here. These will be furn
ished with everything needed to
L-mplete the equipment of a mod
ern home. Efforts are being made
to obtain a third dwelling.
Everything in the homes will be
furnished by local merchants, and
the place will be ready for occup
ancy just as if someone were liv
ing in the home. While none of
the furnishings will be labeled
with cards of the donors, informa
tion regarding any article, question
of decoration and similar problems
that might arise will be explained.
The home will not be different
from any other home, with the ex
ception that no one lives in It.

Oregon Salem and Polk and Marion Counties in particular have concluded to cash
their faith through one progressive selling plan. ..

good people of the Willamette Valley our hope is to make Salem a city of fifty
thousand in exactly seven years. Retaining as it must and will its matchless beauty
its civic pride and its clean and. wholesome people.
To put over this scheme of growth and achievement requires concerted action.

city and country throughout the several states of the Mississippi Valley, using as a
medium advertising space in newspapers which will reach millions of readers.
Our business extends to every form of legitimate real estate transactions but
we especially want large and small fruit ranches and agriculture and timber lands to
advertise in Eastern papers. We can use for this purpose only properties listed di
rect with us. If you want to say a word about your property to the people of the
Great Middle West, LIST IT WITH US NOW.
We make no charge for listing or advertising and unless we sell your property
there will be no expense to you.

We hope through service and honorable business methods to merit your confi
dence and your patronage.
