White Announces His
Candidacy for Mayor
Robert F. White, with a back
ground of business experience and1
several years of activity in public
affairs, today made formal an
nouncement that he will be t can
didate for mayor of Salem.
White is a member of the firms
of D. A. White & Sons, and the
Jcnks-White Seed Company. He is
chairman of the Pacific Seeds
men's Association and vice presi
dent of the Oregon Feed and Seed
Dealers Association. In. city affairs
he has served as member and
chairman of the Salem Planning
and Zoning Commission and has
been a member of the uty urna
cil since 1950, representing Ward
7. He holds membership in the
Kiwanis Club and has been its
nresident.
Alderman White said before the
first of the year that he was con'
sidering becoming a candidate for
mayor, so his announcement is
not a surprise.
In his announcement he notes
the rapid growth of population in
Salem, which he considers import
ant in the shaping of public policy
for the future.
"There is yet time," he says,
"for the careful planning that can
give us the benefits of industrial
development without the msaavan
tages of cities that did not plan
for their growth.
"My service on the City Council
has been a challenging and inter
estina experience." White says. "It
has expressed my appreciation and
feeling of obligation to the people
of Salem or the opportunities
have enjoyed here. In furtherance
of my intention to contribute
part of my time and effort to the
community, I will be a candidate
for mayor In the coming election
"Salem is in the difficult and
sometimes painful transition period
toward becoming a major city.
There is yet time for the careful
planning that can give us the bene
fits of industrial development with'
out the disadvantages of cities that
did not plan for their growth.
"The time for far-sighted zon
ing, segregation of industrial areas
and the prevention of such Indus
trial evils as smog and water pol
lution ... is now. Later, the cost
may be prohibitive. If we do not
plan now for metropolitan traffic,
wide arterial thoroughfares and
adequate parking facilities it may
never be done.
A rapid population growth
growth means sudden demands
upon city and county services,
schools, hospitals, and social serv
ices. It produces such problems as

juvenile delinquency and crime
control. It requires that the facul
ties for civic and cultural activi
ties be expanded.
Typical of the need for prepa
ration for Salem's future is the
need for an additiunal water trans
mission line from the Santiam Riv
er. Adequate water is just as es,
sential to industrial development
as power and raw materials. We
should not wait for a critical con
dition that could develop in the
near future and importantly ham
per our development program,
"All of these things cost money
but will cost . less if they are
planned now in an orderly devel
opment. Nothing is more certain
than that the taxpayers cannot af
ford all of these things at one
time. It is my earnest hope that
the people concerned with all of
these various civic activities can
be brought together in a coopera
tive effort to establish a program
ana a scneauie ot priorities."
