:! i Th OREGON STATESMAN, Saiem, Oregon, Sunday Morning, January 1, 1933 A PAGE SEVEN M for 1932, Not Far Ielou) Normal Figures INDUSTRY KEPT New Sports Champions of 1932 tannery, MKMM BDYS'WELFAHE ROTARY'STASK ON FIRM BASIS . i 19 Packers Limited Production To Demand; Situation Now Held Healthy Salem canneries, like other in stitutions and businesses, have witnessed a curtailment of output the past 365 days, but in spite of general conditions, the total pack is estimated at 75 per cent of the 1931 operations: and as the year ends a surprisingly healthy situa tion on tne marketing end Is re ported. If the usual early year flurry eomes, canners will start the 1933 Reason with a small carryover. However, the "if" Is as much a hope as a prediction, for Mr. Ave rage Man has not yet returned to the wage leyel where canned foods from the grocer's are among the items of his daily diet. This healthy year-end situation exists, however, largely because local canners saw the handwriting on the wall early enough to plan their 1932 pack in accord with re stricted markets and financial conditions. Generally, packers worked to liquidate inventories at the beginning of the season, as well as to pack nearer to the mar gin of goods sold. As near as can be ascertained, the Salem pack in 1932 reached 808,500 cases of goods; in 1931, the amount was 1,078,000. The tanner pack, reached a few years ago, still stands at 1,200.000 cases. Hundreds of Acre Involved In Park Hundreds and hundreds of acres of fertile lands in and adjacent to Marlon county contributed their fecundity to create strawberries, logans, raspberries, blackberries, chen-ies, prunes and other fruits which are handled at the canner ies here. An expert's guess op the pack here on strawberries, places the total passing through hands of the canners at 3500 tons. Of this amount, 2000 tons went into cold pack; and 1500. tons were can ned. A fair proportion of these have already gone out. Berry crops were hardest hit locally, with cherries coming out on top as far as price goes for"both grow er and canner. Only about one-fifth of the lo ganberry crop handled in 1931 was packed the past season, or about 500 tons. A heavy holdover In logans helped to reduce canner needs during 1932. The raspberry pack is placed at between 200 and J00 tons, with about half this amount handled by one cannery alone. On blackberries, less than 00 tons were packed. The can ed prune dal reached about 4," 600 tons, about the same as in 1931. Canned Prunes Are About Cleaned Up Canned prunes were pretty well cleaned up at the beginning of the year, largely because of the merit t the Oregon product and the low price prevailing. The dried prune industry Is not essentially a part of the canners' trade, al though several local canners do some dried prune packing, and the nast year Pau'.us Brothers partic ularly handled a large quantity of the dried fruit. This, of course, 1 not Included in the 4000 tons cen sed. The cherry deal totaled about J, 000 tons, with this sum divided about 50-50 between the canned goods and the brine or barreled product. Royal Annes go into the barrel; blacks pretty generally in cans. An excellent cherry 6eason was experienced, with no loss due to rains. The cherry figures indicate the nly expansion of the year or at least the only solid expansion for there was a decided increase In brining activity. In fact, one Bew cooperative, the Willamette Valley Cherry Growers was organ ized Just at the cherry season and wag operating at the old Ryan Fruit company quarters on Cot tage street in time to handle a sizable portion of the cherries brined. Expansion of the cherry barreling industry is directly due to the increase in tariff. Pear Park Equal To 1PS1 Figures The pear pack reached 6,000 tons, which is fully as great as a year ago. A general increased de mand for both canned pears and prunes has held those in spite of the low prices. The dried prune output for the entire northwest la estimated at between 17,000 and 20,000 tons and while price here, too, Is low, consumption has not suffered greatly because of the greater food value, money considered. Un settled European conditions and the debt disputes have contributed largely to the low price for the dried prone. Vegetable packs by local can neries the past season were con fined to a short intensive run on pumpkins by the Oregon Packing company, this commodity going on the market under the Del Monte ' label, and several hundred tons of carrots put upfby Paulus Broth ers. The outlook for 19S3 is largely a question marl, apparently both in the minds of canners ana grow ers. It. Is believed that canners are makinr no new contract offers, so at least. There has been some Hhdication of efforts to remake contracts, especially on berries, more In keeping with the econom ic status today. The hard freexe of .December may cut down acreage on some fruits, but so far tnere seems io be a division of opinion nere, Alarms that the berry acreage was biiTt are discounted by some rrowers who say the gradual thawing out reduced losses.

One of the newer departments is the orchestra. In this particular work the Y. W. C. A. hag brought to the lovers of music who are Interested in the Hawaiian and Spanish guitar, ukulele and man dolin, an opportunity to avail themselves of instruction upon these instruments in an interest ing and remarkably effective manner. This club work has been organ ized upon the principle of group instruction for the various lnstru- mtnts in which the basic educa- ional practice of individualized and socialized instruction has been applied. The Cadena club, the newest group organized for girls employ ed In household service, has as its motto, "To Share." They de velop" their own programs to meet the needs and interests of the In dividual members, working for personal improvement and efficiency.

It works for higher education, getting a Job, a place to live, proper use of liesure, keeping fit. business ethics, hu man relationships, making home, citlsenship and spiritual adjust ment.

FAIR WELL BACKED More than 81 per cent of the state fair attendance comes from the Willamette river valley.

SINCE 1M4 In 1164 by state vote, Salem wag chosen as the capltol of Ore gon, receiving 79 more votes than Portland and Eugene together. about a 10 per cent increase over 1931, will be cut. as the demoral ized market condition on account of the general situation and a dis astrously large crop brought heavy losses to many on this crop. Asparagus Canning; Experiment Pinnated Neit year will see an experi ment with asparagus canning in Oregon, as plants contracted out several seasons ago by Raid Mur doch will come into first bearing.

Here is something the Salem Rotary club has done for the com munity and it is pretty difficult to figure the value of this service in mere dollars and cents. Here it is: During the past five years, 35. boys who have gotten into trouble. have been paroled by the county court to the boys' work committee of the Salem Rotary club. Now figure the saving, not only to the boy, but to the community. In hav ing thee boys kept out of jail and the reform school. This year and tor years past.

Again, Salem Rotary has aided in the construction of the Y. M. C. A. camp at Santaly. Committee on Job Solving Problems The boys work committee or the Salem Rotary club to which a liberal sum is Included in the an nual budget. Is continually on the job helping in solving real prac tical problems for boys, and this means helping in jobs, helping in ciptheg and visiting homes of boys and keeping them In school. Last February, during the Work Promotion campaign, when $165, 000 was pledged for new construc tion work, Salem Rotary had a large committee on the job that covered its assigned territory most efficiently. This work was in co operation with various other or ganizations in the city. And while the club doe not feature Christmas charity work, there was the usual contribution from club members for charity at the meeting held the Wednesday before Christmas.
