Boat Season
On Willamette
Gains Impetus
This week's hot weather has
given impetus to the widening
local interest in pleasure boating
on the Willamette river, and a
big boating season lies ahead for
this summer, in the opinion of
Salem waterfront observers.
As Salem Boat House rushed
construction of its second dock
and other improvements on the
riverfront at the foot of Chemek-
eta street, some 52 boats already
were being kept at the docks
there and the first cabin cruiser
of the season put in its appear
ance this week.
Willard D. Taylor, proprietor
of the Boat House, Salem's only
docking and waterfront boat sales
and servicing establishment, es
timated interest in boating this
year at ' about five times that in
any recent year. He said his firm
alone has sold about 200 ' new
boats in the past 14 months.
The new cabin cruiser, first
all-metal boat in this area, is the
new property of Adolph C. Nel
son, Salem business man. The 25-
foot craft draws 30 inches - of
water and will sleep four persons.
In anticipation of a busy boat
ing season, Taylor has com
pleted a riverfront drive from
Chemeketa to Court street and
has undertaken the new dock con
struction to increase docking ca
pacity to at least 50 boats. A
government dock adjacent to the
Salem Boat House soon will offer
hoisting facilities, Taylor has
been informed.
Atom Bombed Fish
Still RadioActive
SEATTLE, May ZS-iA-A small
fish from Bikini lagoon set a ra-dio-activitiy
-meter" clicking
wildly at the University of Wash
ington today.
The finny sturgeon, which once
took its own picture on an X-ray
film, still carries a radio-active
"kick from the algae and other
submarine food it consumed after
the atomic age in bomb form
came to the lagoon last summer.
The radio-active fish showed in
mild form, said Dr. Stafford War
ren, dean of medicine at the Uni
versity of California at Los An
geles, the contamination which he
warned would bring the world
wide disaster in any future atomic
war.
