State Fair Of f icials Make Plans
For Next Year; Count Records
Broken by Last Week's Crowds
By Winston XL Taylor
Staff Writer. Tb Statesman
Plans for next year's state fair,
emphasizing quality and not quan
tity, were more than underway to
day after last week's fair, called
the "most successful yet," broke
nearly all records. Officials - and
crews will settle down" for the
present to figurine income against
bills and repair and cleaning of
the facilities.
Crowds that were estimated at
17,000, including 1 1,750 paid, were
on the grounds Sunday for the
final events. They brought the
total attendance for the week to
164.181, including 176,201 paid, to
set a new record, topping the
former highs of 220,472 and 157.
454. set in 1946. Each day set an
admission record except the first
and last.
Final day events included "hot
rod" races on the track, attended
by about 4,500, and the Showboat
revue's last presentation. The
Showboat, praised as one of the
best night shows in years, and
the horse show-rodeo prayed to
near capacity crowds very night,
and several hundred were turned
away from the revenue.
While final cash results are not
determined, all the shows had the
highest gross receipts in history,
said officials.
Leo Spitzbart, fair manager,
said this year's experiences show
ed that the public wants a "clean"
fair, and he promised that every
effort would be made to assure
that annually. Realizing that the
event has crowded almost to the
limits of its grounds, now com-

pletely surrounded by homes and
industry, he declared that grow
ing quality would be the aim of
future fairs. 1
Spitzbart said his j principal
hopes for fulfillment by next Sep
t iber are a larger -nachinery
area and continued beautificatioo
of the buildings and grounds. He
expressed thanks to -the Boy
Scouts for daily grounds cleaning.
The midway is to be revamped
somewhat, and additional rest
rooms will be added. One of the
big projects for the maintenance
crew swill be new roofing of sev
eral of the buildings.
E. L. Peterson, director of the
state agricultural department,
called the fair Oregon's "most
successful and he and: Spitzbart
expressed their gratitude for the
widespread spirit of cooperation
among employes and fairgoers.
Only three arrests were made on
the grounds during the! week, all
for intoxication. Pickpockets were
also reported much fewer than
usual. j
One of this year's innovations
will not be repeated, it was em
phasized a fall program of har
ness races. While one harness
event is to be included in each
day's horse races, the trotters did
not attract sufficient interest to
merit the full show, it was felt.
Pari-mutuel betting, in ;spite of a
severe decline on the harness race
day, managed to set new records,
including a week's totat of $367,
124, compared to the former rec
ord of $334,936 in 1947. ;
One of the final day's events
was a dinner given at the Golden
Pheasant by ; Spitzbart land Pub
licity Director Bruce j Williams,
honoring U. S. Sen. Guy Cordon
and State Sen. Douglas McKay.
Other guests were George Jamie
son and Bud Lynch of: Portland,
Peterson, Charles Evans of Inde
pendence, racing superintendent
and president of the Western Live
stock Breeders association; W. L.
Phillips, sr.. and O. Ki Beals of
the state agriculture department.

Gty Council Reverses Policy
Denies Fire Protection, Sign
(Story also on page 1)
Salem city council reversed two of its policies at a meeting Mon
day night in city hall when fire protection was denied for contractors
building the navy reserve armory just outside the city and a proposed
sign in the parking was rejected for Burgoyne Motor Co.
Aldermen defeated a motion to provide the Industrial Building Co.
fire protection while armory construction is in progress near Waters
field and instead passed Alderman
Daniel J. Fry's suggestion that the
aty manager and city attorney
draft a proposal for standby
charges to out-of-city enterprises
seeking fire protection.
Under present policy the city
has agreed to fire protection for
such places as the new' Walling
warehouse and the Columbia
Metals fertilizer plant, with
charges to be made only if fire
trucks are actually called to" the
plants. Fry said he felt a standby
charge should be made, probably
equal to the difference in insur
ance rates by which a plant profits
when under agreement for city
fire protection.
In the request for Burgoyne
Motor Co. at 635 N. Commercial
st City Manager J. L. Franzen
recommended that permission be
given for a sign in the parking.
inasmuch as trees obscure view of
the new business location and the
request was like one which re
suited in similar permision for
Herrall-Owens Co. at 660 N.
Liberty st recently. i
Alderman Albert H. Gille ob-
vacations would amount to about
$6,000.)
Extended for five years the
existing contract with William
Schlitt's Sanitary Service Co.
when Schlitt asked the, assurance
of continuing contract so that he
could proceed with plans to move
his company garage site 'from the
residential area near 17th and B
streets to a new property near
25th and Mission streets in a
$15,000 garage -roject
Passed a bill raising fees for
log and pole hauling to $5 per
month.
Referred to the city zoning
commission a request from Salem
long range planning commision
that city and commission delega
tions present to Southern Pacific
officials the long-range group's
proposal for placing the SP main
line' tracks in a tunnel under 13th
street..
Free Teen-Age
Dance Series
Plan Mapped
Initial plans for a series of free
teen-age dances in the Salem area
were mapped Monday night in a
meeting of Willamette valley un
ion musicians.
David M. Nyberg. secretary-agent
of the Salem union, said that
union musicians who play for the
dances will bepaid from record
recording royalty money received
by the international - union, and
distributed to local chapters. The
Salem union has Just received $L
200 of the funds.
A committee appointed at Mon
day's meeting to map plans for
the free dances includes Nyberg,
Robert Howe, Waldport; O. L.
Robertson. Albany; Lawrence
Hendricks, Stayton, and Glenn
Woodry, Salem.
Nyberg said the union commit
tee will seek the cooperation and
support of churches, fraternal or
ders and high schools in carrying
out the program.
The group will meet again on
Thursday to consider further
plans.
