Everything is going according
to plan at the Oregon State
Fairgrounds in Salem this week
as exposition officials and a
crew of 100 workemn are put
ting final touches to the 167
acres of grounds in preparation
for-the Labor day opening.
Manager Leo Spitzbart re

Helene Hughes, veteran San
Francisco producer, will come to
Salem next Wednesday to su
pervise final preparations of her

be held in front of the racing
grandstand each evening of the
fair. She telephoned Spitzbart
r last week with word that her
v latest show "can't miss."
Meanwhile, the combination
Army-Navy-Marine and Coast

as one of the biggest in state
fair annals. Four military bands
will be on hand throughout fair
week to support the huge dis
play space, which will cover
nearly! 30,000 square feet.
Livestock will begin arriving
on the grounds this week for
a brief rest period before judg

about their newly constructed

youngsters 10 and under is to
be one of the fair's beauty spots
with a new lawn, a white pick
et, fence, and a multitude of
nursery rhyme characters avail
able for juvenile amusement.
The outside gate , admission
charge will remain the same as

North Santiam
In New
' The North Santiam river near
Jefferson was turned into a new
channel about 4 o'clock Satur
day afternoon, nearly 24 hours
later than had been planned.
The delay from Friday after-'
noon was caused by a break
down in equipment.
The diversion will enable
farmers, cooperating in the
flood control project to com
plete a dike that has already
been started. The dike and the
two channels will prevent the
stream from eating away highly
valuable farm land.

Unemployment Grows in
East Sec. Sawyer Finds
By James Marlow
Washington, Aug. 27 W) Charles Sawyer, secretary of com
merce, and some of his staff have
mission.
They've been going around the country, meeting with business
men, labor people and public ot-i
ficals.
The purpose was to find out
what those people around the
country think of the general
economic situation.
The trips were outlined by
President Truman and his as
sistant, John R. Sleelman, and
yesterday Sawyer issued a re
port on his trip to Steelman.
Sawyer's report can be pretty
well summed up in this state
ment of his:
"My most significant impres
sion from these trips and dis
cussions is that people general
ly have an abiding faith in the
soundness of our business eco
nomy. I was reassured by the re
peated expression of belief of
businessmen, labor and govern
ment officials that our business
structure is solid and that our
economy can look forward to
more growth and progress.
Generally speaking, I find
that businessmen consider the
recent decline in prices, sales
and production as l.eing tempo
rary adjustments which were in
evitable as our economy moved
from the inflationary post-war
peaks into a better adjusted level
of prosperity.
What do businessmen want?
They want tax cuts. But it is
definite that congress won't re
duce taxes this year.
Next year? There's no as
surance there'll be any tax cuts
then, either, particularly if the
government runs in the red and
needs tax money to meet some
of its expenses, if not all of
them.
In his travels, especially in
New England and in Michigan
and Ohio, Sawyer found "sub
stantial" and "significant" un
employment. On this subject Sawyer said:
"To a major degree the com
munities which had the most
serious problems were the ones
which are now feeling the after
effects of wartime over-expansions.
... m
"It was pointed but in a num
ber of places, and particularly
in areas of special distress, that
substantial numbers of manu
facturing employes are now on
part-time work, although the re
ports would not show them as
unemployed.
"It was most forcefully
brought to my attention that
being out of work today
wholly different matter from
being out of work in the early
JOs, due to the difference in
the price of food and other liv
ing costs.
"Unless such costs come down
or unemployment payments are
extended, the relief situation in
a number of cities could be criti
cal."
This trip of Sawyer and his
aides covered a good part of the
eastern area of the United
States.
He and his people will go
back on the road again later
and cover the rest of the country.

Snoopy Enjoys
Sunshine Again
Osceola, Wis., Aug. 29 VP)
Snoopy, the 650 pound inquisi
tive heifer, was enjoying the
sunlight today.
She was freed Saturday night
from the sunken silo dungeon
where she had been a prisoner
nearly 80 hours.
A little ingenuity on the part
of her owner, Everett Lampman,
lifted Snoopy to her freedom.
Lampman cut three acres of
corn for silage to dump into the
silo where Snoopy was a prison
er 12 feet below the door. As
the silage was blown in, Snoopy
gradually was elevated toward
the door. Then a push and she
was out.
A slenderizing diet of water
kept Snoopy's figure sleek
and thin enough to get back
through the narrow opening.
About 37 per cent of U.S.
farms now have telephones.
