Civil Air Board Reveals Reason
Salem Granted Regular Service
The growing industrial importance of Salem and its 1 sur
rounding metropolitan area including 113,000 persons is related
in the official decision of the civil aeronautics board in granting
United Air Lines permission to inaugurate regular airline serv
ice into this . city. ' . " C ;
The official report said there
was a 17.7 per cent increase in
population in Salem darinf the
; past 10 years and that air mail,
passenger and air express serv
ice would result in important
saving of time. ' ,
Travel time from Balem to Port
land 'will .be speeded up by 1
present air stop to the south, by
annriwimotol w nina hmire Rorv-
ice into Salem' is expected to be
gin within the next few months.
The civil aeronautics board in' its
official decision said:
"Salem, the capital of ; Ore
ton, is located about 50 miles
south of Portland and has a
population of 30,908, which rep
resents , an increase of 17.7 per

Methodist Women
Hold First Meet
WOODBURN The Woman's
Society of Christian Service of
the Methodist church held its first
fall meeting at the home of Mrs.
Frank Settlemier Tuesday after
noon. At Mrs. Settlemier's request
Mrs. J. Melyin Ringo acted as
hostess.
Mrs. Charles Jones presided
during the, business session, and
the devotional service was led by
Mrs. Eva Coleman. The Rev. R. E.
Smith offered prayer.
'Several Salem women were
welcomed to the meeting. Among
these were Mrs. C. F. Breithaupt
and Mrs. J. A. Mills, - both of
whom gave talks. The closing
prayer was by Mrs. A. E. Austin
i Refreshments were served from
the attractive lace covered table
centered with a crystal bowl of
choice roses. Mrs. A E. Austin
and Mrs. W. D. Simmons presided
at the urns.
Assisting hostesses were Mrs,
Eva Stuckey, Mrs. E. A. Lytle
and Mrs. Ivan C. Beers.
cent over the 1930' firures. The
population of the area within a
25-mile radius of Salem Is about
113,000.
"There is some industrial activ
ity in Salem consisting principal
ly in the production of wool prod
ucts and fruit and vegetable pack
ing, while it is the center of the
hops industry in the northwest.
Portland is the nearest airline stop
to Salem and provides connee
tions to all major points in the
country. Frequent raU schedules
provide two-hour service . between
Portland and Salem and under
the schedules suggested by Unit
ed Aid Lines, a saving of about
1 hours over the fastest raU
service would be made possible by
the inauguration of direct airline
service to Salem. ,
"As indicative of the impor
tance of Salem from a mail
standpoint, evidence was intro
duced showing the results of a
seven-day count by the postof
lice department of mail re-
eeived and dispatched. The'
count discloses that during this
period a daUy average of 625
pieces of air mail totaling- 20
pounds was dispatched, while
644 pieces totaling 20 pounds
were received.
"During the same period a to
tal of 21,059 pieces, weighing 439
pounds of first class maU, was
dispatched from Salem. The post
al receipts from this city for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1940,
totaled $352,456.
"Salem is located on a direct
line between Portland and Med
ford and inauguration of the
service proposed will not result
In any additional flight mileage
on route No. 11. Hence, the only
costs which United would incur
as a result of the stop at Salem
would be those incident to the
maintenance of a station at that
point. v
"The record shows that the
north course of the Eugene radio
range and the south course of the
Portland range bear in a general
direction of Salem and would fur
nish full radio guidance to that
city and that, therefore, no addi
tional aids would be required for
day and night contact operations.
In order to permit an unrestrict
ed day and night operation the
record indicates that a low powered
radio station would be required at
an estimated cost of $20,500 to the
government, involving an annual
maintenance cost of $3500. If such
a station were installed by the
government, the capital expendi
tures estimated by United would
be substantially reduced since
provision was made in that esti
mate for a radio station. . .
"The record is convincing that
sufficient additional passenger
traffic will be developed by the
inauguration of service at Sa
lem to offset the cost of main
taining service to that point.
Furthermore, since no addition
al mUeage Is involved it does
not appear that under present
rate-making methods the pro
posed service wUl involve any
cost to the government in the
form of mail compensation.
"WhUe governmental expendi
tures for airway aids would be re'
quired in order to permit United
to provide an unrestricted day
and night operation, as we have
heretofore pointed out in several
opinions, the installation of such
facilities would also benefit pri
vate and mUitary fliers. . .
"Under the circumstances we
find that the public convenience
and necessity require the In
clusion of Salem as an Interme
diate point on route No. 11."
