THANK YOU The growers of string beans and the canners and freezers of string beans in the Salem area are deeply indebted to the citizens of Salem and the vicinity for their splendid response to their appeal for bean pickers in the recent emergency. The canners. freezers, and groivers also owe a deep debt of grati tude to the School Board for deferring the opening of the schools until the picker emergency had passed. Without this splendid cooperation from the School Board and the aid recei from the citizens of Salem and vicinity, in the neighbor hood of S2.000.000 would have been lost to this community. This tre mendous loss would have directly or indirectly affected every enterprise and nearly every citizen in the Salem area. As the growers representatives and as canners and freezers, we sincerely thank you. California Paoknj- Corporation i ' Blue Lake Packers, Inc.

Wilson to get back on the Salem police force was turned down Wednes day by the Salem: Civil Service commission wnicn ruled it no longer had any jurisdiction.

But at the recom mendation , of the civil service group, the city administration hired him to work at the city shops. Commissioners said Wednesday that they could not consider an appeal fte,r 30 days following a decision, under provisions of the city charter. They recalled they naa asicea wuson to resign or take extended leave rather than a dismissal order. Wilson told the commission Wednesday he is now physically fit for police work. In otrr action the commission restored to duty Fireman Earl Benz alter .sic: leave. and accept ed former patrolman Russell H, Shaffer's withdrawal of a bid for reinstatement following his re signation. The commission voted to allow nredit for past service on promo tional exams to police or fire de partment men who might be re employed after a layoff due to re duction of the departments. The policy was prompted by a reqaest from Fire Chief E. L. Smith who mentioned the five firemen re cently dropped in a city budget cut.

As shown by this map, KPICs contemplated antennae will be directional to the point of reducing power to the forest lands east of the tower site and concentrating most of it to the north, south and west in popu lated areas. The KPIC antennae is t be "tilted." both physi cally and electrically, to achieve the end sought By such means the ERP (effective radiated power) will be more than doubled in the circles in dicated. Nearly all of the area in the inside circle is expected to get a perfect picture, with the same also anticipated for the second circle with the ex ceptions of scattered areas lo cated beneath promontories preventing them from being in line-of-sight from the entennae miles Southeast of Silver ton. And much of the area out side the circles, extending to portions not shown on the map, are expected to have fine recep ; tion so long as they are In a fairly open line with the tower including parts of the coast line and south well into Lane County.

A Sol'ear Dream Coming True ! He used to stand on the curb in front of his father's house and watch the Cadillacs sweep majestically by carrying fine ladies and gentlemen on happy excursions. That's when the dream started in his heart and refused to leave. Six times, before today, he has signed his name to an application for a motor car title and, on every occasion, he knew it was a compromise. But not this time! He is taking the keys to a beautiful 1953 Cadillac and his 30-year-old dream is coming true. - And what a fulfillment it will be, as he rolls out into the highway and takes the longest way home! First of all, he'll get those quick glances of approval which tell him the dream he dreamed for so many years is still in the hearts ofjothcrs. And then the car's great performance will begin to unfold itself. Silence almost complete silence just the soft sound of the . wind slipping by ; . . the quickest, easiest response to the accelerator he has j ever imagined . '. . steadiness and readability and handling ease that remove all but the merest effort r . a irom managing tne car. . j And, oh, what marvelous comfort! It's like sitting in the easiest chair conceivable and moving smoothly, and effortlessly through space. : And then, almost before he knows it, hell be home and in the driveway with the family rushing out with the final voice, of confirmation. Man this was worth waiting and working for! ' And, of course, the years and the miles will add their proof as to the wisdom of his choice: depend ability long life economy of upkeep and oper ation and unusual resale value. , Yes, there is every practical reason for owning a Cadillac as well as every personal one. m Better come in and see us today. It'a probably easier than you think to make your dream of Cadillac ownership come true. DOUGLAS McKAY CHEVROLET CO. 510 N. Commercial Street Salem, Oregon
