Beard, president of the Salem
Retail Trade bureau, said the
merchants were planning the
biggest fall opening night event
ever held here.
"But we are informed," he
said, "that the treasure hunt Is
classed as a lottery, and is ille
gal. We need It to get out a
crowd."
Several members thought the
district attorney should request
an opinion from Attorney Gen
eral George Neuner.
The Salem Cherrians have al
ready arranged to have a float
in the Portland Rose festival pa
rade, King Bing Deryl Myers
told the board, and financing
has been provided. The board,
nevertheless, approved $300
which will go to build up a re
serve for the future.
The Chamber of Commerce,
Manager Clay Cochran report
ed, will sponsor a good will trip
to beach places on June 8, and
expects to take a large num
ber and a band. The new Pa
cific Coast Lines buses will be
used.
The board approved a page
advertisement at $100 for a sou
venir 32-page program of the
coming Cherryland festival. Sid
ney Stevens, president of the
festival association, says 3200
will be printed and sold at 10
cents each.
The board again rejected mak
ing a contribution to a raw ma
terial survey of the state spon
sored by the Portland chamber.
President Roy Harland told
the board that letters praising
the work of Clay Cochran as
chamber manager have come
from various sources, including
Senator Guy Cordon, Marsh
Johnson, eastern industrialist, 1
and the Paulus Bros, cannery.
The chanfer membership is
