When regulation W, government limitation of credit contracts to
12 months, becomes operative November 1, business houses doing a
credit business will go back to their own regulations, extending credit
from 8 to 24 months depending upon the kind of merchandise. This
was indicated in a vocal survey of representative credit managers pre
sent at the Salem Credit association luncheon Friday in the Nelson
building,
While the same credit managers
have protested in loud voices lo
these many months about govern
ment regulations, none is anxious
to loosen them to any great extent
the survey indicated. They admit
ted this Friday as they laughed
about being "free again" and heard
President Rex Gilson warn them,
"Government always takes over
when there is trouble, it's up to
us to see there is no trouble with
credit."
A few credit groups will grant
18 to 24 month contracts, depend
ing upon individual credit ratings,
class of merchandise, amount of
the down payment, and in some
cases use to which the article ia

which is unofficially estimated to
be able to muster 200,000 to 250,
000 regulars, were concentrating
on the Palestine frontiers to cordon
off "terrorist organizations and
Zionist forces."
Other official quarters here and
in Palestine declared, however,
they had been unable to detect any
unusual troop movements.
While troop maneuvers were re
ported in progress to implement
a decision of the Arab league of
seven nations, the league council
went back into session tonight to
plan the inext "military precau
tionary actions against Zionism."
Riad Bey Es Solh, premier of
Lebanon, told reporters "our troops
have movied to the frontier," and
Ahmad Sharabati, defense minister
of Syria, said in Damascus that
Syrian troops already were quar
tered on Palestine's northeastern
border as a precaution against pos
sible "terrorist movements and
Zionist espionage." Syrian sources
said important military maneuvers
of the Syrian army. were to take
place tomorrow along the border
Sources in Beirut said they were
informed: that Egyptian forces,

Conservation
District Vote
Set in County
Landowners In the vicinity of
Marion, Turner, Aumsville, and
West Stay ton will vote October 22
on the proposed Santiam Soil Con
servation district, according to
Harry Riches, county agent. Five
hundred ballots were mailed Fri
day.
The purpose of the proposed
district is to provide an organi
zation through which work can be
done on- soil and water conserva-
t i o n . problems, on individual
farms, and also on a community
basis. Riches said. A soil conser
vation district is a group of farm
ers organized to work together
and get Jobs done which effect the
best use of their land and water.
Its business is conducted by five
supervisors who are resident land
owners.
The proposed district would not
have the power to make assess
ments nor to levy taxes. Land
owners participating in a district
program would do so on a volun
teer basis and would be financially
responsible only for work done on
their own farms which they them
selves request.
Riches said the formation of the
proposed district would be of great
value in helping to develop the
farms in the proposed district, and
urged landowners to accept their
responsibility by casting ballots
and reminding their neighbors to
do the same.
