Watchmakers Get Raise GENEVA, Switzerl and-CP)-Swiss watches are likely to become more expensive as a result of an overall 5 per cent wage increase granted to the industry's 55,000 workers. The Swiss Watchmakers' Associ ation recently signed a new wage contract with the unions, granting all watch workers a flat increase of 2 cents per hour plus other benefits, representing an overall increase of 5 per cent. Swiss watch workers are the highest paid industrial workers in the country. The take-home pay of skilled workers, other than fore men and technicians, averages one dollar per hour with the new in Death Claims S. G. Griffin At Age of 91 S. G. Griffin, many years a res ident of Minnesota who had lived in Salem the past six years, died late Thursday night in a local hos pital, a few hours short of his 91st birthday today. Born in Hamilton, OnL, Canada, Dec. 28, 1860, Griffin homes teaded to Minnesota in 1876 when he was 16. He spent most of his life there as a farmer in Detroit Lakes. He had made his home in Salem for the last six years with his daugh ter, Mrs. Thomas Roan at 1896 N. Church St., with whom he had wintered for the past 20 years.

Salem city fire department pro tection to the Eola and Morning- side districts will continue another 60 days, the City Council decided Thursday night at City Hall. Argument flared among alder men as to how long the city should continue to offer free lire runs to outside districts which already had been given an extended dead line of January 1 for the comple tion of their own fire districts. Alderman Robert F. White ad vocated cutting off the service now and entering into no contracts for outside fire runs which would not cost the districts an amount equal to what city taxpayers are charged for their fire department operation. But White and the others went along with Alderman Albert H. Gille's move for the 60-day exten sion. Morningside has organized a district but has not yet contracted j for service or purchased equip ment of its own. Eola is just or ganizing. Taxicab fares were raised 5 cents .a mile by city legislation last night. Further negotiations were or dered with State Highway Depart ment, state .Public Utilities Com mission and Oregon Electric Rail road regarding a warning signal at the OE crossing on Pine Street. City officials reported that OE has agreed to Install the signal within 10 days if the city pays the entire cost. Several aldermen asked for an attempt at cost- sharing with the OE and State Highway Department. City Engineer J. H. Davis re ported that temporary improve ment of rough spots on 23rd, 24th and 25th Streets south of Market Street would be made shortly, but extensive light repair work would have to wait until spring because of the weather. City Council's recommendation on use of the $30,000 Carroll Moo res estate fund for a city pioneer memorial was tabled again, after a special conference on the sub ject was set for January 7 and final action earmarked for Jan. 14. City Attorney Chris Kowitz was ordered to prepare a charter amendment draft In connection with a study of how the city might assess the costs of sewers against property owners in annexed areas. The attorney reported the present Salem charter does not permit such assessments, but most cities do. California produces more tur keys than any other state in the United States.

Immigration Hits Canada OTTAWA -6"P)-A near-r e e o r d number of immigrants reached Canada during 195L. Records dating back to the pros perous 1920s were toppled as im migrants from all parts of the world, including former enemy countries, were admitted to Can ada. The increase in new citizens was partly due to an increase in "the number of ships calling at Cana dian ports and partly to federal government programs under which immigrants were given financial assistance to come to this country. A year ago. Immigration Minister Harris estimated that Canada would obtain 150,000 new citizens in 1951. Final figures for the year were expected to show that his estimate was not far off the mark.
