"Automotive companies are pushing production to the hilt and expect prompt deliveries in the face of short inventories," com mented the national mctalworking weekly. . . "They will make the switch to to new models almost without missing a beat in production. And a roll call of other Industries sh"ws pretty much the same pic ture." Reason for the log-jam is the hort-lived steel "strike" of two weeks ago. Although it was the briefest in industry history, the contract strike "set deliveries back a week to 10 days on some product, Iron Age stated. "Mills are still struggling to get back to the pre-strike production level," the publication said. "It's questionable whether this will be achieved in the next several weeks." Faced With Major Problems Producers are faced with these major problems: 1. The maintenance situation complicated by the strike. 2. A cut in available supply of hot" iron,- because furnaces are shut down for repairs. 3. The usual hot weather and vacation factors which normally slow output. Meanwhile. Iron Age pointed out the steel industry has difficulties on the scrap front. "The scrap market is running wild," it said. "Prices this week jumped as much as $5 per ton in some consuming areas. 'Steel companies are In a bad Elder II. A. Pcckham, new pastor of the Salem Seventh-day Advenlist church, is shown assisting other ministers in the unloading of tents as preparation ior the soon-coming camp meeting are made at Gladstone Park, Oregon. A village of 1300 tents and 400 cabins is made rqady for occupancy as the 74. acre campground accommodates about '6,000 persons on week ends with thousands staying on the grounds for the entire 10 day encampment. way for scrap. The blast furnace shutdowns and attempts to step up production to pre-strike levels have put a premium on scrap.'" Ingot Production Up Ingot production this week is estimated at 93 per cent of the annual rated capacity of 125,800, 000 tons. This is seven points high er than last week. Steel price boosts after the wage settlement jumped Iron Age's composite base price for finished j tomelvist and chiropractor, steel 5.61: per ton to S103.5C. "It now looks as though con sumers are in for another cut in their steel rations this quarter," Iron Age said. "Some mills will be forced to set aside at least one full month's output of some products, such as sheets, to bring, deliveries into line with promises. - "This day of reckoning will In tensify the scramble for steel in the fourth quarter... "There is no prospect of a let down in consurner demand. If any thing, it is increasing in tempo." FOUR-PROFESSION MAN ELLOREE, S C. 1-Dr. M. S. Dantzler holds licenses to practice four professions.

Board Hopes to Reduce Total Insurance Policies The Salem school district car ries some $12,000,000 in fire in surance, involving 89 policies, Sid Boise end C. M. Byrd, repre senting the Salem Insurance Agents association, told mem bers of the board Tuesday night. The large number of policies constitutes a cumbersome ar rangement, the men indicated, and it was suggested that they be trimmed to 10 over a five year period. Before adjournment the directors agreed that a total of 20 would be a good target for the present. Byrd. secretary of the associa tion, suggested that an annual review of the district's insurance situation would be available should the directors so desire. They accepted the offer. The Infer Landscape company, with a bid of $2,381 was given the contract for plantings at South Salem high. Other bidders were Knight Pearcy, $3493: H. L. Pearcy Nursery Co., $3844, and F. A. Docrfler and Sons, $4157. Nob Hill Laundry was given the towel contract for the next fiscal year. The concern submit ted a low bid of m cents per towel. Because the recent legislature advanced the minimum salaries fov teachers, districts find it nec essary to increase the daily rate of pay for substitute instructors. Beginning next fall the rate of pay will be $16.22, $17.84 and $19.46, depending upon the ed ucational qualifications of the in structor. At the same time it was agreed to pay tutors of handi capped pupils $2.50 an hour, an increase of 25 cents. An insurance policv costing $152.75 and covering $100,000 in forgeries will be- secured by the district. This became necessary wnen it was agreed that Clerk Manager C. C. Ward should use a lac similie signature in sign ing approximately luoo checks each month. The board heard Bryan Good enough in connection with a plea of Erie Butler and Lockwood Homes to' vacate either Mader or Halik avenues which dead end against the Morningside school site. The street not va cated would be turned over to the district The matter was taken under advisement. - Upon the- recommendation of SupL Snyder, the directors agreed to continue the present health and physical education program of the district. The re cent legislature changed the law governing this activity. Under the new statute the physical ed ucation program is optional with 11 and 12th grade students and campulsory with those in the 9th and 10th. During the 1955 56 school year the superintend ent may work out modifications of the existing program. Other action taken during the three hour long session: Hired Darlene A. O'Brien an elementary teacher and accepted the resignation of Grace Erick son, elementary music instruc tor who finds it necessary to be with her mother in Iowa who is ill. Decided to replace a water tank at Cummings school with one of 460 gallon capacity at a total cost of $518. Took under consideralinn a request of the Brush College Grange for continued use of the school building. Authorized the repair of a broken steam line at McKinley school at an expense of $600, and agreed to take the shine off the covered play area at Hoover. Coordinated the Brush College and Keizcr budgets with that of the consolidated district. Capita Journal, Salem, Ore., Wed..
