10 Capital Journal, Salem,
Scaffold Aids Workmen Ernest J. Reed, 3780 Pleasant
View drive, believed there was an easier way of installing
sheet boards to ceilings so he proceeded to devise one which
meets his requirements and which also can be used for other
purposes. The board is raised under the joists by turning a
crank on the scaffold. The device can also be used for holding
plaster and Reed demonstrates this use here. A feature of the
equipment, Reed points out, is that it is collapsible and when
folded can easily be carried by one man or stored in a small
place. He will have one of the completed sections on display
at the fair. He says that it has been successfully used in Salem
and that its multiple-purposes open a wide field. The Salem
product is included in the moving pictures "What's New on
Review" to be shown at the state fair by John T. Anderson, .
Portland, patent coordinator, who made the necessary draw
ings for patent purposes.

Only Worry
Weather Now
Officials of the Oregon State
Fair had only one last minute
worry Wednesday and that was
the weather. Manager Leo
Spitzbart reported the 167 acres
of fairgrounds ready to welcome
the largest , crowd in history if
Old Man Weather is in a good
humor beginning Labor day.
There was plenty of reason to
smile in the fair's administration
headquarters this week. All
construction was finished far
ahead of schedule and advance
ticket sales were the heaviest on
record.
Livestock show strings were
arriving on the grounds every
hour and being stalled in the
huge livestock barn. Ed Lewis
of Aumsville and his string of
Red Poll cattle were among the
first arrivals. Lewis' bovines
were prize winners during the
1948 exposition.
Meanwhile, Manager Spitz
bart announced that outdoor
dances would be staged along
the midway for the first time in
several decades. The midway
dances on a portable floor will
be in addition to the evening
dances in the junior exhibit
building with George Bruns and
his orchestra of Portland.
Workmen were busy Wednes
day installing the high wire
equipment of the free midway
show which will be presented
three times daily during fair
week. Final dress rehearsal for
the Helene Hughes revue will be
staged Sunday afternoon.
State police officials have
conferred with Spitzbart several
times during the past week con
cerning the handling of both
north and south bound traffic
into the grounds. Patrolmen
will be stationed several miles
north of Salem on the Pacific
highway to direct northern mo
torists on to Lancaster drive, a
direct route to the principal fair
parking area. Southern visitors
will be routed through the main
Salem entrance on 18th street.

Farmers Want
Water Loans
B. W. McVeigh, supervisor of
the farmers home administra-'
tion offices located at 460 North
High street, Salem, says many
farmers are showing their inter
est in obtaining government
water facilities loans.
Loans for irrigation facilities
include land leveling, distribu
tion systems, construction and
installation of irrigation struc
tures such as syphons, head
gales and drops, and the repair
or improvement of existing sys
tems. Loan for farmstead facilities
are made for drilling of wells
for domestic and livestock use,
installation of pumps and distri
bution systems, and the repair of
existing farmstead facilities.
Water facilities loans bear 3
percent interest, and are made
payable according to the earn
ing ability of the farm, but not
to exceed 20 years.
Farmers home administration
also makes production and sub
sistenee 5 per cent loans to eli
gible farmers who are unable to
acquire adequate credit from
commercial credit sources on
long time payment plans. Loan
funds are used to buy livestock
farm and home equipment, feed,
seed, fertilizer and building re
pairs.
