Air Marker Atop Building on
Lana Avenue Identifies Salem

As soon as the final .coat of paint is applied, alem will be added
to the list of 27 Oregon communities which have installed air markers
on building tops this year. And that puts the communities on the
"thanks' list for many pilots, who have been oriented by the bright
orange sign below them.
, Salem's marker, for which the
primer coat has been applied, will
be on the Bonesteel building on
Lana avenue, north of the high
way underpass in north Salem. It
, Is being put on by Salem 20-30
club.
A few other communities have
secured the markers through the
efforts of service clubs, according
to William C. Hill, airport engi
neer for the state department of
aeronautics, which provides the
plans and the materials. Civil air
patrolmen have put in two, a
farmer one and an aeronautics as
sociation another.
The work on the others this
: year, of which all but Cottage
; Grove's is complete, was con
tracted to Ralph Long, Salem
painter. Four more were installed
by the federal civil aeronautics
authority, working to the extent
With the hoDes of netting a
marker to identify every com
munity and provide more fre
quent aid for the lost flier, the
department budgets the project
out of its funds, which come from
a one-cent per gallon tax on all
aviation fuel sold in the state. An
estimated 300 are needed, irrclud-
ing this year's and 79 put in last
year, said Hill.
It is hoped also to place arrows
. and latitude and longitude desig
nations atop all forest lookouts.
The signs include the com
munity name, latitude and longi
tude figures, between which runs
n arrow pointing north, an air
port symbol with a directional ar
row and the number of miles to
that field.
Communities gaining signs this
year include Astoria, Drain, Su
therlin, Seaside, Gilchrist, Tilla
mook, Cottage Grove, Sheridan,
Newberg. Oregon City, Canby,
Amity, Monmouth, Independence,
Albany, Adair Village, Monroe,
Junction City, Eugene and Mar

ranged from $3 per night m cer

Expenses for meals were held at
a maximum of $3 per day.
Other rules laid down by the
court order are that hotel receipts
must be shown, and that dinner
expenses ($1.50) are not to be al
lowed if the traveler could have
returned home by 6 p.m.
Judge Murphy said combined
traveling expenses among Marion
county officials and employes are
below $100 er montn.

Marines Hear
CapL Jones at
Salem Dinner
Salem marines, marine veterans
and reservists with their wives
gathered Wednesday night in Le
gion hall in celebration of the U.
S. marine corps' 173rd birthday.
Striking the keynote of marine
strength in this country's past, pre
sent and future, Capt. Robert L.

sistant publisher of the Capital
Journal, made the principal af
ter-dinner talk before the crowd
of 259 which overflowed the hall's
dining room.
First Landing In IS It
Jones said the marines have
been active in the Pacific north
west since 1818 when a landing
party hit the' mouth of the Colum
bia river. He added that present
marine activity here is widely re
cognized, with a Salem recruiting
program aggressive enough to fill
its quotas and help Portland meet
its quotas, and with a marine re
serve battery of some 150 men in
regular training.
In a pageant climaxing the eve
ning's festivities, 23 members of
the marine reserve portrayed rep
resentatives of the principal bran
ches of the marine corps whose
wartime service helped win World
War II. Sgt. Dwaine O'Harra ar
ranged the pageant and most of
the participants were actually vet
erans of the units they represent

ment counselor and blinded ma
rine veteran of the recent war,

er.
Mayor R. L. Elfstrom gave the
city's greetings and Maj. Leonard
G. Hicks, commander of the local
marine reserve, read a birthday
message from marine corps head
quarters. Special recognition was accord
ed local marine leaders and visit
ing representatives of military or
ganizations. Among those intro
duced were Col. Carl Nelson, Lt.
