pie of the Salem area, made
last month, says in part: "The
task ahead presents a formida
ble challenge. Your council
pledges its best endeavors to
meet this challenge. The path
is a tortuous one and. the going
i wow. in me extremely com
petitivs field of industrial pro
motion, over-night results Just
do not occur. But, with your co
operation, your support, your
patience, inis program, in time,
can bring benefits to all."
Need for Pre-Vlslon
It must be remembered, how
ever, that no steps in human,
material or economic advance
ment, however taken, can be
accomplished without first vis.
ualizing the consequences of
the achievement and, having in
mind the objectives and pur
pose oi eacn step being made by
this Salem Industrial Develop
ment Council. For example, an
architect first builds his struc
ture in his mind, seeing as It
in a vision, the beauty of Its
adornment, the durability and
strength of its construction, the
utility and purpose of its vari
ous features. The more distinct
the mental vision of this ar
chitectural design the greater
the possibilities o; the achieve
ment.
A city like Salem is. in this
respect, like a piece of archi
tecture. It must first have In
the minds of the population, a
complete whole. In other
words, before a city can be
built to meet the highest ideals
as visioned by the city build
ers, and the Industrial Council,
it must have a place in the
minds of the population, and
all of its various elements of
utility and ethical values must
be conceived as mental pic
tures.
No town grows except by
what it feeds upon. If it lacks
ideals, ambitious, hopes and as
pirations among its people. Just
to that degree does it become a
deserted village, an abandoned
camp or a sleepy hollow. Like
wise, the ambitions, hopes, as
pirations and ideals rising high,
the progress of the community
will rise to the same level.
Concentrated Effort an
Essential
But, it should be realized
further that by greater efforts,
greater ambitions and more op
timistic hopes, Salem may be
made to draw to itself a greater
oroDortion of the steady in
crease in population to the Pa
cific Northwest, than the nat
ural factors would bring. This
also would include new indus
tries, new commercial firms
and the expansion of those in
dustrial and commercial firms
already located here.
Community growth spells
prosperity for it means more
building, more capital invested
in the community, s stronger
economy, better homes tend a
broader view of life. Emer
son said in effect: "If a man
makes a better mouse-trap
than anyone else can make,
though he live in a wilderness,
the world will make path to
his door." If Salem's united ef
forts, moving spirits and, the
Salem Industrial Development
Council are given support and
cooperation in heralding to
the world that this city and re
gion offers better opportunities
than are offered by other re
gions and commercial centers,
gions, Salem will grow.
