Celebrationis
i
Underwritten
For $21,340
Receipts Are Expected
to Exceed $21,000;
Pageant Stressed
By WALLACE A. SPRAGUE
Voluntary contributions are, financing-
Salem's 1940 Centennial
celebration.
Salem merchants have signed
pledges promising to pay up to
$21,340, or pro rated assessments
on that amount should the Cen
tennial program fall, for any rea
son, to pay for itself.
Such was the plan of financing
from the Inception of the celebra
tion, when the Centennial cam.
mission first began to speculate
on the means ot finding the neces
sary backing to make the Centen
nial possible,
Eugene Plan Copied ,
The plan for underwriting the
observance was copied,' in the
main, from Eugene's Trall-to-Rail
exhibition; and so, more signifi
cantly, was the expectation on the
part of the finance eommittee
that underwriting merchants
would hot be required , to pay
more than SO per cent of the
amount which they guaranteed.
Eugene found, for instance,
that in 1928 It spent 130,500 on
its pageant, members ot the fi
nance committee have pointed
out. Total receipts from the Eu
gene pageant were $28,200, leav
ing a totarioss of $4300 to be
made : up from among the busi
ness houses and professional
people who had subscribed te
support the entire undertaking.
Finance Committee Chairman
W. M. Hamilton recently ex
plained that Salem will spend
around $27,000 en it celebra
tion, Including the pageant. Total
receipts, however, are expected to
exceed $21,000, leaving a total of
$6000 at the most to be paid by
original underwriters. Pro rated
on original pledges, this amounts
to about 30 per cent ot the total
Hamilton yesterday emphasised
that in the opinion bf the eom
mittee the excellence of the Sa
lem celebration will attract people
from a wide radius in the Wil
lamette valley, so that receipts
may exceed present expectations.
This will by no means be the
case, however, he indicated, un
less all local people attend the
Centennial pageant and urge
their friends from nearby com
munities to do likewise,
Hamilton indicated that prices
of grandstand seats at the fair
grounds have been copied directly
from those used in Eugene, x and
added that they were by no means
out of line with ordinary admis
sions to football gam ea or other
sports events shown at frequent
intervals.
Costumes for Historic
Pageant Arrive
Costumes tor the Centennial
pageant were being received here
yesterday in preparation-for Tues
day night's dress rehearsal. An
attempt is being made by Director
Doris Smith to insure that they
are truly representative of their
particular periods in the old
northwest ' :
Many pageant costumes are also
being obtained from their storage
places in local homes.
Drilling Units,
Bands and Drum
Corps Coming
