Varied Industry
Needed Locally
."This region's best prospect for
industrial development lies in di
versified plants, large, and small,
to give the economy a steadiness
it lacks now because industry is
concentrated on processing of
foods and forest products, Ivan
Bloch, industrial consultant of
Portland, told the Chamber of
Commerce Monday at a luncheon
held in the Hotel Marion.
Bloch said the' engineering
schools should be developing en
gineers capable of developing new
industries. The brains are here,
and the capital can be secured
for feasible projects, he said.
Much progress has been made
in aluminum, Bloch observed, add
ing that there are good further
prospects in light metals fabrica
tion, plastics and electronics. The
big plant which can sometimes be
secured is fine, but many small
plants are actually to be preser
red, he said. A weakness at pres
ent is the seasonal character of
boVth food processing and lumber
ing. This area also needs better
freight rates for outbound indus
trial commodities. It already has
favorable rates for outbound raw
materials but is handicapped in
trying to manufacture here for out
ol state markets. (
Bloch was introduced by Burr

chairman for the Salem Industrial

whose members were seated at
the head table. Willard Wilson

Home Owners
Want Bridge
A group of Salem business men
who own summer cottages along
the south bank of the Little North
Fork of the Santiam River near
Elkhorn approached the County
Court Monday in conection with
the possibility of securing an old
abandoned bridge.
The men stated that an ap
proach to the bridge leading to
their property had washed out
during high water and that they
had no way of geting across the
stream.
The bridge sought is a wooden
span which was replaced last fall
by a steel structure a short dis
tance above the Elkhorn School.
The court said the bridge could
be made available to the men for
the price of $1 if they would re
move the span. The court believes
that the cost of tearing the span
down would just about offset the
amount of available salvage.
The interested parties will en
deavor to secure a bit of help
from the state forestry depart
ment since the bridge that wash
ed out was used by the foreste'rs
to some extent The men pointed
out that their private span was
the only one across the river
from the Meyers crossing up
stream to Cedar creek
