Fear of banks, which men aced business In 1933, was all gone with local deposits probably the highest on record. The credit of the city and of the Salem school district was never 'better despite the large is sues which each instrumentality issued. Rates ranging from 2 per cent to 3 per cent were ob tained on long-term issues, by far the fcpst interest charges the local governmental bodies had ever obtained for their obliga tions. Merchants and manufacturers, city officials and county leaders were quite uniformly agreed as the year closed that Salem and Marion county were to see a bet ter .1936 than 1935 had been and that the depressed years of the first half of this decade, were definitely behind. Paul Jackson to Head School Herd (Continued from page 1) The Chemawa Indian school has- a rated capacity of 750 pu pils. A four -year vocational course with the required aca denrte training is offered for about 30 trades. The graduating class of 1933 numbered 60, rep resenting 30 tribes.

Trial of Relief Plan Scheduled (Continued from Page 1) - employable men who cannot get work on WPA because they were not on relief May, 1935, consti tute a big additional problem for the county, Roy Melson, county commissioner said yesterday. "We have certified these men over to WPA and they are ready to go to work but Harry Hopkins, to date, has not relaxed his rule that anyone who had a job this summer cannot now get WPA aid," Melson said. "I think this is not a fair rule. .These men are en titled to WPA jobs. For the time being, however, they greatly aug ment the load the county and the state will have to carry under di rect relief." State officials are keeping very silent on the matter but there is a possibility that decidedly more than 31,000,000 will be available for relief for the counties in 1936. Official View of 1936 Is Hopeful WASHINGTON, Dec. Zl.-py-Spokesmen for government, bus iness and organized labor speak ing generally in optimistic terms welcomed the New Year tonight with suggestions for carrying for ward in 1936 the recovery gains of 1935. The expressions of optimism, however, were not unqualified. One bnsiness leader sawebstacles should government impose "bur dens" on employers. A labor chief tain was concerned with the fate of new deal legislation in the su preme court. Secretary Roper summarized the government outlook as fol lows: "On the basis of the broad gains recorded In the economic and so cial life of the nation in 1935 and in view of the cumulative strength of the recovery forces, business and industry should now move forward courageously In the New Year with long term programs, looking forward to sound and stable progress." - !
