Seedlings From Salem
Given Sultan of Morocco
(Editor's mote: The story be
low was written by Bobert
Letts Jones, farmer assistant
pabltaber at the Salem Capital
Journal, now traveling in the
Mediterranean area with his
wife.)
Casablanca, French Moroc
co (By airmail) A (roup of
choice, representative Oregon
forest seedlings has been given
to the sultan ot this northwest
corner of Africa. ,
The presentation was made
by me on behalf of the Oregon
state forestry department and
the lumber Industry al a token
of friendship between the peo
ple of Oregon and Morocco. ,
The sulton, Mohammed ben
Youssef ben El Hassen, was
not in his palace In this thriv
ing coastal metropolis ot 800,
000 population, so I turned the
seedlings over to Santa O'Han
na, the sultan's political ad
visor. : .'
Monsieur O'Hanna, a polish
ed diplomat, assured me Mo
hammed ben Youssef would
welcome the trees not only as
a living expression of friend
ship but as experimental addl
tions to the forests of French
Morocco.
The sultan, he said, would
be interested to see if the par
ticular trees native to Ore
gon would grow in his coun
try. The gift of seedlings con
tained carefully selected spe
cimens of Douglas firs, pon
derosa pines and Port Orford
cedars. ; , .- ,
. In addition was the "carry-ing-coals-to
Newcastle" group
of Atlas cedar seedlings which
came originally Irom the
snow-covered Atlas mountains
in the southern part of this
protectorate of France.
. Suggestions as to the plant
ing and type of region for each
group of seedlings were con
tained in a presentation letter
from George Spaur, Oregon
state forester, of Salem.
Shipment by air was paid
and arranged for by Arthur
W. Priaulx of the West Coast
Lumbermen's association of
Portland. .
The seedlings were flown
by airmail for presentation
during my two-day visit in
this modern, boom city with
its many tall buildings.
My wife, Marguerite, accom
panied me for the simple pres
entation ceremony of the
small trees for the sultan who
traces his ancestry back to Mo
hammed, founder of the Mos
lem religion. J v.
Advance arrangements for
the gift of trees were made
by Slgrld B. Unander, Oregon
state treasurer, who is a per-
sonal friend of the sultan.

THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, Salem, Oregon
While s rvLig with American
forces in Africa during World
War II, Sig Unander first met
the Sultan.
"Lt. Colonel Sig Unander
landed at Fedlah, north of
Casablanca, on November 8,
1942, with the American liber
ation forces and performed ex
emplary personal services tor
the sultan of Morocco and his
royal family in the fight
against Rommell's forces.
In recognition for outstand
ing services, his majesty, the
sultan created the "Order of
Ouissam Al Aoulte" honoring
Colonel Unander and granting
him the status of "Caid" or na
tive chieftain. The medal, a
large diamond encrusted em
blem, is kept under lock and
key by Treasurer Unander.
It is in French Morocco that
five huge United States Air
Forces bases are being con
structed as part of the defense
program of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization (NATO).
It was south of the bustling
1 city of Casablanca that Gen'
eral Mark Clark swam ashore
from a submarine for his fam
ous rendezvous with the French
that preceded the landing of
American troops in the Afrl
can invasion early in World
War II.
It was In the fine Anfa
Hotel overlooking this city
where President Franklin D.
Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Winston Churchill of Great
Britain met -in 1943 with the
French Generals de Gaulle
and Giraud for what became
known as the "Casablanca
Conference."

' After an investigation, the
Salem Chamber ot Commerce
said today there is no founda

been current that Chrysler was

Sometimes the rumor located
the property around the Four
Corners district, and at other
times north of Salem in the
vicinity of Brooks.

Old Coins Recovered
From Willamette River
You can turn on your imagi
nation and' let it run on this
story. i '
It may be a story of tragedy,
or feud, or crime, among the
white men. or of tribal cere
mony among the Indians who
roamed the Willamette vauey
a centurv aKO.
Anyway, it's historical, and
centers around five old coins
lone hidden in the bottom of
the Willamette river and found
only yesterday.
E. A. (Ted) Brown, adver
tising manager of the Capital
Journal, recently got some silt
from the river to put. around
the flowers in his garden. He
was spreading the silt Tues
day when he observed a very
small black disc in the dirt.
"I picked it up and polished
it off," says Ted, "and here's
what lt was:"
He displayed a U. S. three-
cent piece dated 1853. That
makes it 100 year old. It is
silver and bears 13 stars.
