(AP Wlrephoto) Salem Area Job Prospects Good Seven Big Building Projects Near By RISSELL BIEHAl'GEL Staff Writer, Tbe Statesmaa It looks like a busy year ahead for the Salem area with most everyone working now who wants to work and seven large building projects on theN verge. t Employment is high, with unemployment compensation claims 31 per cent lower than a year ago. But no labor shortage is anticipated wbrn the pending w 3MUE3 mum The recent discussion over the quality or lack of quality in read . ing material offered in paper ' backs stirs memories 'of literature of former days. They are excited . even more in reading that Frank Merriwell is coming back, not by way of the "Tip Top Weekly" or the Street k Smith paperbound reprints but via television a 90 minute NBC spectacular in color. That will be a production to bring oldsters in from the golf links to thrill again to the exploits of the irredoubtable Frank Merriwell. There never was such an all round athlete as Frank Merriwell. who was at the same time a model of virtue. Not only did he win his games with a mighty show of individual prowess, he licked the bullies and disarmed the thugs. In an age when Little Lord Faurftleroy was the model for 4he parlor set, wearing his wide-collared velvet suit, Frank Merriwell was all he-boy, but his creator always kept him strictly on the side of virtue. No smoking or drinking for this star at Vale at the turn of the century. The author was Gilbert Patten, who wrote under the pen name of Burt Standish. Born in 1B66. Pat ten started turning out fiction at the age of 16, and from 1896 to 1916 turned out 986 consecutive in- atalmenls of the Frank Merriwell books. These were reprinted by Street Smith in 208 volumes which certainly attained a wide readership among the nation's youth. Many parents, however, acorned them as "dime novels-' once all fiction was under tabu in (CwUnued editorial page 4.) Fair's Lure Too Strong for Tot; Keeps Returning COLUMBUS, Ohio W - Mike Mosi keeps coming back like a mi:-addressed letter. Mike is four years old. He lives across the street from the Ohio slate fairgrounds. And? Friday, out of 86 lost children the fair had to contend with, Mike made up four of the total. He simply wanders into the fairgrounds, becomes lost, then starts crying' at the top of his lungs. Ohio national guardmen. who are handling the fair's police du ties, know just "hat to do. Around Mike's neck is a metal "dogtag" with the message: "Mike Moss-please deliver to Gate 12." "Mike and I had a talk after his last visit," said Col. Oliver H. Gibson of the guard's police force, "and he hasn't returned since I threslened to paddle him if he shows up again." BANNERS PLUG STATE FAIR Banners and hunting advertis ing the Oregon State Fair were hung over downtown Salem streets early Saturday. The Kate air opens here Sept. 1. w .-y; - '- -.--T- - - ' - -- !; ... , 'i .-, - building boom cuts loose because there is a lot of slack in the pres ent construction situation as work ers move from small job to small job. - So far, this summer has been the slowest in It years for construc tion workers, according to Alfred F. Olivers, Building Labors Local 441 business representative. That means 10-15 per cent of some 1.200 carpenters and laborers are out of work at any given time, although all electricians, teamsters, paint ers and cement finishers and all but a few plumbers and plasterers were working Friday, The situation is similar in can neries, where employment is spotty at the moment because some plants have run out of beans. Here, how ever, only a "comparatively small number of extremely seasonal workers" are affected much, ae cording to Raymond L. Rolow, Can nery Workers Local 670 business representative. GMd Slaee July Although beans are giving out earlier than usual, on the whole the season has been "as good as or better than normal ' since July, when cherries from the north did not show up in their usual quan tities, he said. Srawberries were a little short," he admitted, but hourly pay is higher, corn "looks very good," a "fair crop of prunes is expected and several plants are planning expansion and new pro ducts next year, he said. Although cannery employment was reported down statewide, a mid-month check showed 6,900 em ployed in Salem, Woodburn and Stayton, which compares "very favorably" with past years, accord ing to Harold 0. Roessler, local of fice manager for Oregon Employ ment Service. Overall employment in the Mar- lon-Polk county area is perhaps as high as ever," he said. Unemployment indicated by 275 rlaims the past week is "as low as it has been in recent years and about as low as it possibly could geU" Roessler said. "There is al ways a certain number out of work at any given time." Legging Active There is "very little, if any, un employment in logging," he said. But. while employment "seems to be" high, work has not been as teady as in some years, especially in canneries and construction, he admitted. Projects anticipated by construe- i tion workers in the next few months arc a large Marion Hotel addition, fnur-story addition to the Pacific Telephone It rclograpn to. on State street, state detention home for boys southeast of Salem near Cottage Farm, Slate School for the Blind administration build ing, two junior high schools and a North Salem high school addition. Several church projects also are in the mill but dates of construction cannot be anticipated accurately for them, Chivers said. Today's Statesman Pago . .11-13 1-8 . 25. 4 See. ... II ... V ..IV ...

Another 10 days of good weather and the prunes should be ripe for!nas annnunred picking. However, chances are, growers said, that Sept. 10 will be nearer prune picking time than Sept. 3. Prunes are problematic, when it comes to picking times, the growers added. You can't set Ihe picking date very fur ahead. However, every indication is that the hanfest time will be consider ably in advance of either of the past two seasons, which were amnne the latest on record for a i number of years, tirnWers of long time standing report that they can , types of marketing now being tnv rerall when picking didn't begin ' orc,ri.
