residents of Salem will flock to
the municipal airport Friday to

the great silver passenger planes

Civil aeronautics board engineers went to work less than 11
months ago to design Salem's airport runway system
and arrived at a plan closely approximating one sketched
11 years ago by Lee U. Eyerly, one of the city's early
fliers who, although his aircraft factory has turned carni
val "ride" manufacturing plant, continues to be a leader in
local aviation development. How Eyerly's conception of
what Salem's then year-old airport (in 1930) should be
and today's CAA plan compare is shown by Eyerly's draw
ing above and the insert (lower right) of the official layout.
Heavy black lines in the insert indicate runways and taxi
strips now in use, light lines future runways on which con
struction is expected to begin soon. New administration
building now being designed will rise this winter on approxi
mately the location shown in Eyerly's plan.

spite of the manufacture of air

still the men who had seen army

Do not fill your shrub bor- -ders

less outstanding shrubs. The
camelia is an accent, not only
during Its blooming season, but
also during the remainder of
the year, when the reflections
on its shiny foliage call atten
tion to it almost as much as its
flowers do In their season. To
make a camelia hedge (as yon
