Open House at
Terminal Ice
Operations and facilities of a
modern cold storage plant were
viewed Wednesday noon by the
membership of the Salem Rotary
club and a number of others
when the Terminal Ice and Cold
Storage company threw open the
building on North Front street
for inspection. Lunch was ser
ved in a room that contained
650,000 cubic feet of space.
Lowell Kern of the Portland
office of the concern said that
the 1,750,000 cubic feet of
space in the plant made it one
of the largest on the Pacific
coast, all under one roof. It
has facilities for both cooling
and refrigeration, in addition to
the manufacture of tons of ice
for use in refrigerated railroad
cars.
Kern explained that the ad
dition completed last year was
built when costs were high but
the company deemed the needs
of the valley deserved the new
facilities. The plant was filled to
capacity with a variety of foods
lest summer but most of it has
been moved out for public con
sumption. A display of frozen foods in
cluded big plump turkeys,
chickens, squab, shrimp, lobster
tails and barrels of strawberries.
The railroad companies and
truck lines had a number of re
frigerated cars and trucks for
inspection.
The program was arranged by
Harold Robertson, plant manag
er and member of the Rotary
club.

Mrs. Koh Talks
About Koreans
America should be Interested
in Korea for several reasons
mainly because the country is
strongly anti-communistic, it is
strongly Christian, and is in a
strategic position said Mrs. Ben
Koh in talking to the Soropti
mist club's luncheon meeting
Wednesday noon. The speaker
deplored the division of Korea
between Russian and American
zones, saying the larger num
ber of educated Koreans and the
industrial centers were in the
north, or Russian zone, while the
American zone is largely agri
cultural. Because of the anti
communistic feeling many Kor
eans seek refuge in the southern
section, she said, saying it is es
timated four millions have left
the northern part for the south
ern part.
There are several ways Amer
icans may help Korea, Mrs. Koh
stated. Because it has no re
sources with which to buy ma
chinery and equipment and to
keep its government strong, fi
nancial aid could be extended
to the country, but a humanitar
ian way to assist the country
would be to bring many of its
students to this country to study
our way of life, and in return
send our students there to see
the problems, she said.
"If we are to have peace and
democracy we must set up an ex
change of students between the
countries," she commented.
Earlier in her talk, Mra. Koh
traced the history of women in
Korea and the suppression under
which they lived for so many
centuries. Emancipation of the
Korean women did not come un
til the end of the last war, she
said.
Preceding her talk, her hus
band sang several songs in Kor
ean.

Blood Donated
With 97 pints of blood donat
ed. Marion county did not quite
make us goal of 100 pints when
the mobile unit came here Tues
day from the Portland regional
wood center and one reason
the goal was not reached could
be that 12 persons did not keep
their appointments or notify the
Red Cross chapter that they
could not keep them.
The amount was so near the
goal, however, that the day was
a successful one. There were 37
rejections. Altogether, 146 per
sons were on the list for the
day's visitation.
The bloodmoblle will be in
Salem the second Tuesday of
every month. In addition, dur
ing the year it will make six
visitations out in county areas
In late June the bloodmobile
is to go to Mt. Angel, the date
to be set later.
