It was characteristic of the late
Charley' Wilson, long-time secre
tary of the Salem chamber ol com
merce, to keep himself in the back
ground. He always maneuvered so
that some one else, the president
usually, served as spokesman ' for
the chamber. It must have been
that ,e modesty which made
his f irom the world so incon-
spicu ..3. For his many friends
In Sakmregret that news of his
passing, last April came so belat
edly. Businessmen of the chamber
of commerce, the Cherrians and
Hotarians would like to have giv
en Jiim a final tribute;
j Charley Wilson was a very ca
pable secretary of the chamber of
commerce anyone who could
hold down that job as long as he
did, about 15 years, had to be good.
During, his tenure notable expan
sion rame to Salem, the largest
being the -Salem Linen mills. Po
litic in handling people, good at
writing and ; newspaper work, a
care ful and frugal business man
ager, interested in music, Charley
was popular and deserved a real
funeraL But he is probably chuck
ling now in the Eysian fields that
he slipped away without anyone's
knowing, i anyone of : his , Salem
friends. - -
f 'After he retired as secretary of
the chamber of commerce, Charley
went to Portland to reside. I saw
him occasionally and noted that he
was aging. His step grew halting
and his face more lined. But' he
till wanted to be active, wanted
some kind of employment, and did
lake a turn doing a special. edi
tion for the Coos Bay Times; A
.year ago he got the idea of mak
ing a trip by boat down the Mis
sissippi. - He found there was no
passenger service, that he would
have to obtain permission of army
engineers to make the trip. I tried
to help him, but the war was used
as an excuse against granting the
permit So he spent the winter in
stead in Los Angeles, returning to
! a Portland hospital where he died,
three months ago.
