Salem Combats Hot Weather With Large Doses of Water j The climbing mercury of recent das made enough people turn showers on themselves and their lawns to boost Salem water use to i some 18 million gallons Monday. r: U A . - " That figure, though twice the consumption of the previous Mon day, is far from the all-time daily record of some 21 million gallon set two years ago.

The city is in "good shape" for the summer, according to Water Man ager John I Geren. - He pointed out that the huge new reservoir on Turner Hill is available to keep water flowing here at a faster rate. Normally some water is being taken out of that reservoir already, but is not required, and it has not been in use during the past week. The pipeline has a maximum flow of 19 million gallons per day. When use exceeds that figure, the reservoirs are drawn on. In the city main reservoir capacity is 10 million gallons, which it is plan ned to keep for emergency use, while drawing on Turner Hilt While use rose to 14 million gallons last Friday, then fell to 12 million daily over the week end, holidayers poured it on" be ginning .Monday, said Gerer:.

P. lines last year. . That much lettuce would! fill a train of refrigerator cars 720 miles long, and constitutes almost four fifths of the total lettuce crop of the country. j That's a lot of lettuce-and so is the Slll,lB7,000 that went into the' pockets of the lettuce growers of S.P.'s Golden Empire. .. , ) Naturally lettuce must be crisp and fresh when it is delivered to every corner of the country, jor else nobody would buy it. ij . j Part of the secret of getting erarroou quantities of lettuce (or any other perishable fruits orfvegetables) to distant markets in prime condition is S.P.'s great fleet of refrigerator cars. (Li OtIOON CAlirOlNIA MIVADA UTAH . AIIZOMA NIW MIXICO t ' fIXAS IOUISIANA Theae cars 38,000 of them --make tip the world's largest "reefer" system. (More than 10,000 rtew'onea have been added since V-J Day.) They operate under the banner of Pacific Fruit Express (halfrowned by Southern Pacific). :--. j . ' t -r - But it takes more than refrigerator cars alone to mar ket the? Golden Empire's produce1 effectively. It also takes S.P.'s swift and flexible scheduling of these cars plus an intricate process known as "diversion," which permits shippers of strategic carloads of fresh fruits and vegetables to change destinations en route at the drop of a phore call, to meet more favorable market conditions. Such service enables the Golden Empire' $ producers of perishables to sell competitively almost anywhere in the country. Thus, S-P. has helped the commerce of the Golden Empire grow by expanding the market for things the area produces. And almost every resident benefits, either directly or indirectly. For proof, let's look at the record: From 1941 to 1950, the average income of the peopleln the Golden Empire rose 184.6 -a better showing than the rest bf the U. S. And jS.P. intends to continue; to promot through servicer the healthy growth of the Golden Empire. t th advantage of everyone.
