Ex-Con Held
For Robbery
A 24-year-old former Ore
gon State Penitentiary inmate
was arrested In Seattle Friday
night in connection with the
recent burglary of the St. Paul
Market and Copeland Lumber
company in St. Paul.
John C. Goddard, formerly
of Eugene, was arrested by
Seattle police for Oregon state
police after investlgatora trac
ed him to the Tacoma-Seattle
area.
State police Captain Ray
Howard said Goddard and an
accomplice stole a pickup
truck from Newberg the night
of November 17 and drove to
St. Paul, There they entered
the two establishments and
made off with 41 cases of
liquor from the agency in the
market, numerous cartons of
cigarettes from the store and
a quantity of power and hand
tools from the lumber com
pany. They left behind a
spare tire from the pickup.
Near Vancouver they a ban
doned the pickup in a field
and rented a U-Drive truck to
haul the $2,350 worth of loot
to Tacoma and Seattle. There
police have been watching for
Goddard for some time and
spotted him Friday evening to
make the arrest. The Seattle
report did not say if any of
the loot from the burglary
was recovered.
Lt Farley Mogan and Sgt.
Roy Baker left Saturday
morning for Seattle to pick up
Goddard and to see if they
could find any lead! on his
accomplice.
Goddard was released from
the Oregon State Prison last
July where he served a three
year term for burglary in
Lane county. He has. been
living and working in Seattle.
Captain Howard said God
dard would be questioned to
see if he knew anything about

store and liquor agency in Mt.

police believe there li no con

Salem is a city of diverslfed Industry. It hss more than
100 manufacturing establishments producing a variety of com
mercial goods. In showing the important factors that contribute
to the success of industry in Salem lt is Imperative that the
major component parts thst mske up this
industrial structure be brought to the fore.
Too often, perhaps because of its obvious
ness, many residents of a city fail to sens
the importance of industrial operations such
as exist in this city and the immediately sur
rounding region. Foods, paper, textiles in
cluding woolen! and linen, lumber and wood
working products, batteries, hestlng equip
ment, carnival machinery, agricultural ma
chinery, light fixtures, refrigerators, trailers,
garden tools, Irrigation and drainage pipe
are a few of these manufactured products..
The lumber products consist of wooden
boxes, cabinets, Venetian blinds, handles,
furniture, boats, toys and a
ducts. Foods include meat puking, fruit, berry and vegetable
pacaing, wun twelve large car.neries producing some B-milllon
