New Terminal
Site to Open
PORTLAND - The Port of Port
land's new four million dollar pas
senger terminal building at Port
land International airport opens for
business Aug. 1. Chief Architect
John Schnieder announced this
week.
Construction of the terminal, cen
tral part of the Port's 13 million
dollar airport development pro
gram, started two years ago. The
finished terminal will have more
than 220,000 square feet of floor
space and 16 plane loading posi
tions, and will house the operations
of seven airlines and a number of
other tenants. '
Biggest single equipment install
ation project within the terminal
building is in the Civil Aeronautics
Administration control tower,
which occupies the three top levels
oi the eight-story terminal build
ing. A special crew from CAA's
western states Region 4, with head
quarters in Los Angeles, has been
bi ought in to outfit the tower,'
which will become the airport s
control center when the building'
opens. .
Airline ticket counters and bag-!
gage-handling equipment are also
being put together on the term
inal's first and second levels, and
the restaurant operator is equip
ping the regular and flight service
kitchens. On the lower level, near
the terminal's main exit, the self

be registered before the deadline
to be eligible to cast a ballot.
A special notation is made on the
registration card to show the
change of age which came after
fhe registration books were closed.
Need Not Register
Those persons who voted in the
May primaries need not re-register
for the November elections unless
they have moved to a ' differert
precinct, or unless a woman has
changed h?r name through mar
riage. If both elections were missed two
years ago, a voter's name has been
removed from the county's voting
roster said Mrs. Floyd White, elec
tions clerk.
No rames are dropped from the
roster between primary and gen
eral elections.
If a person has movjd to a dif
ferent location within the same
piecinct, the change in address can
be made on county records by a
telephone -all, Mrs. White said.
People new to Oregon can vote
in the November elections if they
have lived here for six months
prior to the Nov 4 voting day.
It a person has arrived in Oregon
too late to qualify for voting, an
I absentee ballot may be obtained
I to enable the voter to cast a ballot
1 in another state.
Absentee Ballot
Also, persons who will be leaving
Oregon and fail to qualify in an
other state because of residence
restrictions may obtain an Oregon
absentee ballot, Mrs. White said.
If a voter wishes to change party
registration, a trip to the court
house is necessary, Mrs. White
said. The party decision isn't as
important in the general elections
as the primaries, as all candidates
are on a single ballot, she said.
During primary elections only
candidates in a voter's registered
party are on his voting ballot.
Voter registrations will be open
at the rounty courthouse main floor
from 8:39 a.m. to 5 p.m. until the
October deadline.
A citation from the Wisconsin
Council of Safety went to Leonard
Werbie, foreman in a Kenosha
firm, whose safety glasses pro
tected his sight when a grinding
wheel broke and hurled a sharp
fragment into his face. His eye-
sight was saved by foresight.
