Reserve Unit
Plans Drive
For Recruits
Plans for an intensive rebuild
ing program, for the 929th Field
Artillery Battalion in conjunction
with the Army Reserve program
passed by Congress was an
nounced Saturday.
Maj. Thomas P. Bays, com
mander of the Salem reserve or
ganization, said the unit would
begin immediately to seek enlist
ments, particularly among quali
fied non-commissioned officers, so
as to have a strengthened program
underway when new trainees are
assigned.
Under provisions of the reserve
bill which was sent to the Presi
dent young men will be allowed
to sign up for a period of six
months of active duty and then
will serve out a 7-year enlist
ment in the active reserve. Men
already on .active duty may be
discharged early providing they
take an active part in the reserve.
"It will be several months be
fore we see any benefit here from
the law." said Bays, "but those
months will give us an opportunity
to build a strong nucleus of offi
cers and key enlisted men." "Va
cancies exist in almost every
grade, and previous artillery ex
perience is not necessary for qual
ified men to take advantage of
them,' be said.-
Earlier this month Salem re
serve units, including the 929th,
were boosted to weekly pay drill
status. Reservists draw a days
pay for their grade for the two
hour drill period held each week.

Hayesville Junction 'Fingers'
Confusing Sight for Drivers
Breecfnf along Portland Road
just north of Salem, the motorist
today sees fingers of asphalt and
new concrete bridges that show
black and white against a busy
construction scene.
This is at the Hayesville traffic
interchange site. The motorist
would have to stop, take a good
look around and consult any three
engineers handy to figure out who
goes where and what the finished
interchange will look like.
The final engineering product
will be completed in the coming
months, but it can't be put to use
until the four-lane expressway is
finished next year from Hayes
ville north to WUsonville Bridge
on the Willamette River.
Separate Routes
Hayesville interchange will serve
primarily to separate with over
pass structures the present route
to Portland from the new route
the East Salem bypass connecting
wit bthe Sad em-Portland express
way, i
Until the expressway is finished,
heavy traffic from the south will
continue using present Highway
99E north from Salem, reports W.
C. Williams, deputy state highway
engineer.
But Williams said the highway
department is still hopeful that
the lower end of the expressway
will be far enough along to open it
this fall to light traffic. Consider
able traffic is already using the

Company to
Incorporate
Salem's Yellow Cab Co. becomes
a corporation Monday, announces
Kermit Stewart, president of the
newly-formed group. -
The company has operated in
Salem since October of 1934 and
the new move, in which eight driv
ers will operate their own cabs,
is aimed at providing better equip
ment for the convenience of Sa
lem, says Stewart City Council
has given its approval.
Drivers' names will be printed
on their cars and Stewart says
this is the first time in the valley
outside of Portland that a cab
firm has operatod on the basis of
drivers sharing profits made by
cabs they own.
The corporation will be called
Salem Yellow Cab, Inc.
The plan will employ IS drivers,
with driver-owners leasing their
cabs to another driver for subse
quent shifts, providing cabs on
the streets at all times.
Bernard Stewart, Kermit's broth
er, is secretary-treasurer of the
corporation and Samuel Anderson
a director. Both are from Salem.
Other members of the corpora
tion are Percy Gorton, Robert Er
win, Percy Dezotell, Sandy Clark
and Nelson Pack, all of Salem.
Meanwhile, the firm announces
that two new 1955 model cars will
be pressed into cab service for
the Oregon State Fair here.

At the time the interchange is
opened next year, a curving sec

A second overpass, just to the

Despite the size of this sprawling
interchange, little Hayesville local

Another son, Darell, 1, was
slightly injured but is in good con

Salem Party Stakes
Harney A-Ore Sites
A group of young Salem men
have found what they believe to be
an "encouraging" uranium de
posit in rugged Harney County,
some 150 miles southeast of
Burns.
The find made in the Steens
mountain area, came as a climax
to months of prospecting with gei
ger counters in Nevada sod South
eastern Oregon.
Eagerly awaiting tests of
samples from the deposit art John
Langrell Jr., William Bowenand
Fred Kucera, all of Salem, and
Frank Bradley of Pennsylvania.
"Tests with Geiger counters
bring hopes this Harney ore might
register .25 uranium content,"
said John Langrell Sr., father of
one of the prospectors and a man
who has devoted much time and
research to the matter of uranium-hunting.
Richer Strike
As a constrast, a recent stike in
the Lakeview section tested .66
uranium content or about $100 a
ton. The much-publicized deposit
in Utah more than a year ago also
averaged about .66.
Measurement of .2S would bring
around $45 a ton under present
prices. A deposit, to be of commer
cial value, must have a content
of about .10, according to the el
der Langrell.
Samples Seat
Samples of the Harney discovery
have been sent for testing to the
Oregon Department of Geology and
Mineral Industries at Portland.
Obviously, the four young pros
pectors are holding their breaths
until the report comes back.
The party made its find ap
proximately two weeks ago and
