High Birth Rate
To Hit Schools
The tremendous rise in birth
rate figures for Marion county
immediately after World War
II will create a critical shortage
in public school classroom space
in a few years, unless additional
building and larger teaching
staffs are secured, Frank B. Ben
nett, " superintendent of Salem
schools, told Salem Lions club
members in their regular Thurs
day noon luncheon at the Mar
ion hotel.
Bennett said that in this
school district alone 908 babies
were born in 1947. He compared
this figure with the present
first-grade enrollment of 636.
This means that when the
1947 babies become of school
age, there will be an increase of
250 first-graders over the pres
ent number, Bennett pointed out.
He said that such an increase
will require ten additional class
rooms and ten additional teach
ers. The 33 classrooms completed
in the last two years will not be
sufficient; they were built to ac
commodate the "war babies,"
who have already started their
schooling.
More congestion will result
when the 1947 babies enter the
middle grades in the elementary
schools in 1955 and 1956. At that
time, Bennett said, the elemen
tary school enrollment will be
larger than it ever has been be
fore in history.
Summer Homes on
Santiam Planned
A major summer home devel
opment on the little north fork of
the Santiam just below Taylors
Grove above Mehama is pre
saged in the filing of a plat with
the county court for Sylvan
Park, a stretch of about 3000
feet of river front along the
river and immediately adjoin
ing Taylors grove.
Floyd Siegmund, who filed
the plat for Roy S. and Edna
L. Lively, owners, Salem, said
that a proposed road to be
known as Santiam Way will
skirt the tract for entrance to
the homes, the tracts to lie be
tween the road and the river.
The plate shows 27 tracts pro
posed for development, each
100 feet wide and 200 feet In
length between the proposed
road and the river. The land to
be devoloped lies across the
river from the "Y" camp.
Salem Man Tells
Why He Gives to
Hospital Fund
The plight experienced by
John U. Plank, 565 North 17th,
when he was injured in an
accident convinced him of his
ability to give to the Salem
Hospital Development pro
gram. Plank told the story when
he dropped into campaign
headquarters, 335 North High
street, to make a generous
contribution Tuesday.
"I was taken to one hospital,
then to the other before a
room could be found for me,"
he said. "After that I figured
I couldn't afford not to give."
And he signed his pledge
card.

President Laughs
At Hoover's Fears
Washington, Aug. 11 IIP)
President Truman laughingly
observed today that he does not
believe this nation is driving
down the road on "the last mile"
to collectivism.
Mr. Truman gave this view
when a reporter brought up the
fears expressed by former Pres
ident Herbert Hoover last night
about government spending and
taxes.
Mr. Hoover's name was not
mentioned at the news confer
ence by either the reporter or
the president.
The reporter wanted to know
if Mr. Truman thought "we are
on the last mile on the back
road to collectivism."
The president laughed, said
he thought It was funny, but
didn't know what that meant.
Then he said he didn't think
so.
