the compilation of facts and
forms relative to the release of

has been erected in the nearby
city of Astoria, and various en
tertainments , have been pro- "
vided for the service jmen.

approximately 250 men who were
inducted from Salem. Many of
these are needed for employment
in industries In Salem, and a few
have been granted furloughs and
short leaves in order to help out
at home. Most of these have
worked, in fields and orchards of
their parents. ; ;
