In the Santlam National for est south of Mt. Jefferson, but It really Is a 68 lake district and It ta this tract of more than 100 square miles that the Salem cham ber of commerce has asked the forest service to set aside as a re stricted primitive area. When the North Santiam high way is completed between Detroit and Sisters, Salem will be within a three hour ride of one of the greatest fishing districts in the west. The movement to have this -area set aside for sportsmen was Inaugurated by the Salem cham ber of commerce. Meetings were held with representatives of the forest service and other organiza tions Interested in preserving this district. Sportsmrn's Group United Behind Move Knaoraement of tne idea was given by the Aurora Rod and Gun club, the Marion County Game Protective association and the Bant lam Fish and Game Protec tive association of Albany. Last September representatives from the chamber of commerce, the Chemeketans, state forestry office and other officials spent several days going over the pro posed restricted area and a report is expected soon from the national forest executives as to Just the area to be reserved. Among those who accompanied the chamber of commerce officials Into the area south of Mt. Jeffer son were F. V. Horton, assistant regional forester and F. V. Clea- tor. recreational agent for the United States forest department, and Lynn Cronemiller, state for ester. Senator Charles L. Mc Nary, who is familiar with thi section of the Santiam National Forest expressed himself as in full sympathy with the efforts to preserve this district for sports men. Salem's interest in having this forest district placed into a re stricted primitive area is the fact that when a district in the nation al forest is so designated, there will be no bnilding of houses or private ownership of land. Alluring Section Ranks with Best The area described by nature ; lovers as one of the most alluring sections in the northwest and one that will develop into a hunter nd fisherman's paradise. The district includes Marion lake, Mowich lake, Pamelia, Duf fy. Lake Ann and dozens of lakes well known to Salem fishermen. In all this area only two sec tions of land are owned by lum ber interests and five small filings by homesteaders. There is al ready a law by which lumber in terests could take other land as an exchange for their two sections nd the five small personal filings are In the extreme north part of the district near Woodpecker ereek The proposed restricted area is bounded on the north by the Mar Ion-Linn county line, on the west nd south by the North Santiam highway and on the east by the rest oi the Cascade mountains j jf - And when this area l. nroaerr. d for future generations, Marion and Linn counties will have at their very feet, one of nature's most beautiful playgrounds. Radios Found in Nearly Half oi Residences Here It seems the nearer a city is to eroadcasting stations, the more radios there are.

' Among the many conventions to bo held la Salem daring the vear 19J3. the on that will at tract more than usual attention is that of the annual Grand Army Encampment of the O.A.R., as the meeting this year will probably bo the last of the Oregon branch of the Grand Army of the Repub lic. By next April, it will be 71 years since tho surrender at Ap- pommatox and tnere are but lew members of the Grand Army In Salem. Tho largo attendance during tho Grand Army Encampment, to he held in Salem next June, will bo from the affiliated bodlea of the G-A..R.

The Oregon Evangelical confer ence will meet in Salem this year, with the date as yet not an nounced. The Oregon Congress of Par ents and Teachers association, generally known as the Parent Teachers association, will hold its annual sessions in the city some time during the month of October. Records of annual conventions show that attendance is larger w hen held in Salem than if held in any other city in the state. This Is due to some extent to the fact that people like to come to Salem and also the fact that 75 ner cent lot the state's population is within a three hour drive of the city.

Is an organization of wom en and girls of different apes, oc cupations, creeds, nationalities, races, and Interests who combine their efforts in order to enrich their own lives, to educate them selves In the art of living, and to taka some share in building a bet ter community. The Y. W. C. A. offers member ship to women who have one or more of four desires which they would like to satisfy: To gain understanding of their own problems. To find new interests. To be useful to the young peo ple of the community, and thus to refresh their own Insight by as sociations with other people. To realise some vision of a world as well as of a homo com munity in which life may be more satisfactory for everybody. This is accomplished through the definite activities such as: The swimming and gymnasium classes that are carried on in co operation with the Young Men's Christian association. The Girl Reserve clubs whose program is more than a series of meeting, meetings are only one of the ways in which the purposes of a Girl Reserve program are carried out. Girls join a Girl Re serve club because they like the members; because they want to do things with other girls to talk things over; because they want to find answers to ques tions; because they want to bo in plays, make books, block prints or do leather tooling, to have fan. to pursue their hobbies, to under stand God and to go to camp In tna summer.

Nut Growers Fare Well, Prices Keep Level Comparable to Past Growth in Industry Noted Locally With Output Greatest in History; Total Reaches 480 Tons Among the comparatively few things which Mother Earth pro duced tho past 12 months and which kept a price level compar able to past years Is tho nut. In fact, both walnut and filbert growers In and around Marion county fared wall, or If they didn't it was due to their own inability to keep orchard costs down. The Industry showed a growth locally, with the largest tonnage in its history reported by the Salem unit of the Oregon Nut Growers association, a coopera- each was four and three tenth. In 1930, there were 0788 fam ilies in Salem, according to the government's figures and of this number, 3,111 had radio sets.

From the Salem branch, nearly 4 89 tons of walnuts and filberts were shipped, with this including 75 tons of filbert and between 30 and 28 tons of walnut meats. Only a few days ago, Decem ber 15, a five cents per pound advance on graded stock was made, this totaling 338,000. This represents about one-third of the total growers her will receive for the 1931 crop. The Oregon nnt co-op handled 2000 tons of walnuts from the valley, with th first advance to all growers re quiring $180,000, according to Fred 0. Ewlng, manager of the Salem unit. Ten Carloads of Nuts Shipped Out Salem shipped out 10 carload3 of nut and Innumerable track loads. The grading and cracking season opened October tl and closed December IT. Darin that period the weekly payroll for men and women employed at the plant averaged between IllyO and S1&00. A Quantity of the meats, both filberts and walnuts, were sent from here to Lebanon to be salted and packed in the vita pack cans, a process which keeps the meats fresh until consumed The Salem nut oo-op numbers over 400 members, with 91 new ones gained in 1938. An increase in local nnt pro duction Is expected for next year, with new orchards coming into bearing. New orchard? boosted the tonnage the past year and helped bring about the huge pack in the fact of spotted heavy production. Quality was ex oeptionaily fine throughout. Highest Grades Are Virtually Sold Oat In spite of the fact that nut prices have maintained a nlxh level, offerings of highest gradp large note have already been vlr tually sold oat, the central offic has reported to Ewlng. Cheaper grades hare also sold fast, ao that the only sarplne now is In the medium price stocks. Meats sold freely.
