and by Manager Clay Cochran.
A book balance as of Novem

000, and the chamber's long
range planning commission,
whose operation is described, is
shown to have a present work
ing capital of over $17,000. The
chamber's general organization
is illustrated by chart.
Public approval of the cham
ber's accomplished as well as

ed in the message from Mr. War
ner who expresses appreciation
for co-operation by the commu
nity, for men and women who
have returned from war serv-

bility to see that these men
and women are taken in as an
active part of our community."
rromouon Needs Diligence
Manager Cochran sees pros
perity for the community if dili
gence and intelligence are back
of promotion. Housing he sees
as the No. 1 problem and urges
that every effort humanly possi-

"From many sources," says
Mr. Cochran, "we receive the
assurance that a long and 'en
during era of prosperity is pos
sible if we put into business
and community planning the in
telligence and diligence we have
displayed during war time."

made by C. A. McClure, the
commission's engineer, relative
to railway track relocations,
highway plans and Bush's pas
ture park survey and mapping.
Frank A. Doerfler, director of
the agricultural department,
stresses the Willamette valley
project, but does not neglect the
general agriculture of the com
munity, declaring that "the full
facilities of the chamber were
available to agriculture and
stock raising."

Norblad received 20,832 votes
against 10,129 for the Salem at
torney, who was running as an
independent but was backed by
the democratic party. Norblad
carried every one of the 10 coun
ties in the district seven by
more than a 529-to-one margin
and his home county, Clatsop,
by six-to-one, but he fell down
in popularity in Polk, Marion

by a substantial majority.
