Airport Problems Pondered
To Assure Saleni Adequate
F(icUities in Postwar Years
, ., - , JT . ..
. " : ' ' By 8. Boyd Hilton . . ."
-. The older generation may be convinced it has made a mess of
things for the present generation, but the postwar thieving of Salem's
air-minded oldsters would seem to indicate no mistake will be made
about an aerial setup to be enjoyed not only by the youngsters of today
but by their children's children. ' .'
' This was brought forcibly to the fore in a recent meeting (covered
partially in a period story) in the Salem chamber, of commerce rooms
when a, group representing bus!
ness, airlines, fliers, public offi
cials and Just plain' listeners
outlined plans for today, tomorrow
and 50 years hence.
Watchword Is Foresight " - :
Foresight was the watchword.
When Jack 1 Reavey, district engi
neer of civil aeronautics authority
for the states of Oregon and Wash
ington, calmly told Alderman Tom
Armstrong, chairman of the meet
ing, "that many obstructions would
have, to be eliminated at McNary
Field, there was a noticeable un
easiness among the group. Then it
was explained. -that trees as far
away as two and three miles con
stituted obstructions.
Reavey predicted the present
McNary Field would be enlarged
to include aprons on both I sides
of the field as well as hangers, all
army built, "if the army proceeds
with its present plans." Although
he could; predict no definite time
when the- army would elect to re
linquish its lease of the port, he
cautioned that when it does the
city win find on its hands a prop
erty which .will require mainte
nance. ;--;
Will Pay Own Way
For a few years," Reavey said,
"the port will probably operate at
some cost to the city but eventual-
it will pay its own way, make
money, and bring business to this
Alderman Armstrong, who is
shouldering responsibility for the
field by virtue of his chairman
ship1 of the city council's aviation
and . airport committee, asked
Reavey and other such experts as
E.S. Maroney and L. N. LaPointe,
both of United Air Lines,! "about
how much will it cost the city?"
None ventured and answer but
Reavey said it would be necessary
for the city to have an experienc
ed port manager whose qualifi
cations should include administra
tive ability, salesmanship, knowl4
edge of flying and the ability to
delegate work to a crew of men
efficient in a particular-line such
as maintenance, care of building
power,, etc v j' !
Developments Watched -..-" '-.
; Lee Eyerly, superintendent of
the airport before the war,, ex-
hibited at the meeting a drawing
which: he had made in 1930 and
which, after 14 years, ; is ,some4
what akin, in a photo of the port
today. Eyerly is still an authority
on the port grounds. He hasf seen
the army develop the port "along
lines which- were his 'only in
dreams and on paper. Weak run
ways have been reconstructed un
til they can bear the brunt of
rough treatment , L '
Alderman Armstrong, charged
with development of a postwar
plan of building at the port, had
ittler success at the meeting try
ing to get a solid estimate of what
the city should prepare for at the
port i , .
When ' he asked . Maroney -m
your opinion, how many lines will
be operating here five years after
the war?" he got back the answer
in the form of a question from
Maroney addressed to Postmaster
Henry P. Crawford: "How much
will your air mail- increase in five.
10 or 15 years?' All the postmas
ter could answer was '"It's doub
ling, every year." .? h
Three Firms te Operate , , - !
Maroney did ; say, concretely.
that at least two, possibly three
air lines would operate here after
the war. He informed those pres
ent that 24 companies were ap
plying for certificates to operate
in the northwest but believed they
would be chopped to a fraction
of that number.
"Salem," he-said, "is sure to be

It is just possible there ,; will be

there may' be some feeders in
from' nearby cities. How . much
business , Salem gets," how. many
planes alight -here and how much
benefit the city gets from its air
port will depend, on the decisions
it makes now."
"If no mistakes are made In
planning," he said, "and the city
builds big enough, and in an effi
cient and safe operating manner
it will attract planes and when
it becomes feasible for planes to
land in Salem in preference to a
less likely port, the future of this
as a plane base, an aerial business
center, is established.
By moving ' the administration
building from the east to the west
side of the field Reavey advised
local planners they could save the
cost of . building a new control
tower, installing sewage and oth
er utilities and also give the ad
ditional facility of a teiup with
the railroad,' a spur already being
located on the west side of the
field.

ONtheHOME FRONT
By BAEEL QUIDS
Some women wouldn't take it
as a compliment, but I do (at least
to my taste in men) that the "stag"
parties inwhich I sometimes find
myself are invariably made up of
men, who treat me like one of
themselves. ' .
,;v:Sv.f yt:,v.::V
Those '-groups Vary toony men
gathered because they have a com
mon fraternity or lodge; a com
mon religion or scholastic Inter
est, a common profession or trade
or similar business interests, and
they, once talked of those things.
But it seems to me that since
December, 1941, their very ex
cellent conversation ' has had a
common heart And as winter
stretches its first fogs and frosts
into the valley, almost all of them
are beginning to discuss one thing.
Two. years ago in October . one
of them said and I can still hear
his voice with its tinge of doubt
"It's possible, you know, that my
boy will be given a leave, so I'm
waiting to enlist until after Christ
mas." Last fall their friends talked
hopefully of the possibility of men
of the 41st receiving furloughs.
Last week, .with confidence, and
cheer, two fathers at such a din
ner meeting told me their boys
woaM be here to help drag in the
yule logs. -
At first, I thought I was hear
ing echoes of an old,, old state
ment.'V- - -out of the trenches by
Christmas', and then I wondered
if the whisper couldn't be trans
lated into a still older phrase, "If

Aged Teacher
Of Music Dies
In Home Here
Mrs. T. J. Amspoker, resident of
Salem the past 10 years and vice
president of , the city's federated
music clubs, died Saturday follow
ing an illness which had kept her
bedfast less than two weeks. ,
Although she was more than 80
years of age at the time of her
death, Mrs. Amspoker had retain-
ed her interest in civic affairs and
her determination' to work. "She
was a music teacher, with, a class
of 20 piano pupils, and was teach
ing when she collapsed Monday,
October 9.
Her husband preceded, her in
death by several years and the fos

her, John Carle, Southern Pacific
freight agent here, died last De

With members of her family she
regularly attended baseball games
here when Western International
league was flourishing in pre-war
years . and was at , various times
rated the city's "number one base
ball fan." :
The sportsmanship- of flying.
she said, attracted her as much as
the speed and convenience and
she was the first Salem resident
to purchase a ticket and was a
passenger on the first flight of
United Air lines out of Salem. -
Mrs.' Amspoker was a graduate
of Oberlin college conservatory, a
member of the Salem music teach
ers' association and of Women of
