galem, Oregon, Tuesday, December 18, 1956 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL Mission Group Gets Option On Quarters Haven for Homeless Head Tells of Plans To Get Building The Union Gospel Mission, a haven for homeless men in Salem, has acquired an option to purchase the two-story buildings housing its quarters at 345 North Commercial St., Superintendent George Si monka has announced. The purchase price, he said, has bee set at $47,500 wtih a down payment of $10,000 required. Simonka said the down payment on the building is due on March 1 and it is probable that individ uals and groups will be requested to make contributions toward the fund. The mission, which feeds an av erage of 1,215 men a month and provides sleeping facilities for an average of 660 transients, was es tablished lour years ago. Simonka said the mission now rents both the mission facilities and a mission-operated store on Chemeketa street for $220 a month. This, he said, was the equivalent to the monthly payments hich would be required if the building were purchased; once the down payment was made. The mission has been negotiating with Max Gehlar, Salem, owner of th building. Future Looks Bright -gW.. .- ........

Commercial Request Seeks State Share of Federal Power The state water resources com mittee has been requested to aid Oregon in getting its fair share of power from future federal pro jects built in the northwest.
