Big Turner Reservoir
Emptied for Repairs
Salem's Turner reservoir
was nearly dry Thursday be
cause of failure to close a 10
inch construction drain prop
erly with a concrete plug aft
er its use during excavation
work by Stevenson Construc
tion company.
The reservoir has a capa
city of one million gallons. ,
Salem will have plenty of
water while the repairs are
being effected, however. The
regular supply of water piped
from the North Santiam river
was considerably . more than
enough to meet the present
demand, reported water Man
ager John Geren.
Overflow on nearby prop
erty led C. R. Mudgett, owner
of the property, to notify city
water officials.
The old drain was closed
properly Thursday and an as
phalt patch was added. The
reservoir will be refilled dur
ing the next week.

Crow, commanding officer of
the 487th Fighter Incepter
squadron at Portland Air
Force Base, was the principal
speaker, discussed the- psy
chological aspects of flying
fighter planes, and showed a
20-minute Korean combat
film. .
Conrad, who has been fly
ing to each of the state Capi
tols in the past three weeks,
had trouble with his Tripacer
plane yesterday and will not
arrive at Salem until 4:19 p.m.
today.
Conrad will present several
scrolls to. representatives 'of
the state board of aeronautics,
the Civil Air Patrol, and the
Junior Chamber of Commerce
in ceremonies at the capitol
building. '
Col. Crow, who was a fight
er pilot in the early days of
the Korean war, declared that
we didn't get anywhere in
Korea. "It was costly ef
fort and a waste. Each hole
we made in tne ground wnn
our bombs eost the American
taxpayer about $1,000," the
colonel said.
"It was something we don't
want to see in aviation a
backtracking," Col. Crow con
tinued. "About the only good
the conflict did militarily wise
was to create a nucleus for
an effective air force. We
went into a 1031 . war with
1941 tactics."
CoL Crow explained that
what kept the American
pilots inspired in the Korean
conflict waa the aense ef unit
integrity, psychological read.
iness and the competitive
spirit.
The colonel concluded his
talk by stating that "we could
bank on the American spirit."
'Tell the pilot where he's
going, give him something to
go with, and then Just rely
on the American fighting
spirit," the colonel conclud
ed. "He'll get the ;b done."

this year compares with 71,200
acres In 1882 and the 10-year

large reduction from last year's
