Huge Magnet
Pulling Scrap
From Freeway
Two Pounds of Metal
Per Mile Lifted
Off Roadway
Operation of the Oregon state
highway department's truck-mounted
electro-magnet last week on the
Baldock Freeway between Port
land and Salem, gathered an av
erage of tw o pounds of scrap metal
per mile on the surface and shoul
ders of the freeway.
The scrap metal consisted of
items ranging from bottle cos.
wiper blades, bolts and scrcw-
. drivers to breather-caps, a hub
cap, a fender skirt, and an auto
mobile drive shaft, the largest
item.
Provides Driver Safety
Purpose of the magnet. Highway
Department officials explained, is
as a safety measure to remove
metal scrap from the highway
which often causes flat tires and
accidents.
The main highways of the state
arc cleaned methodically by the
road magnet traveling at a speed
of eight to ten miles an hour, at
least once a year. Six trips were
made last year on Highway US99
with an average of one pound of
scrap for every mile.
Loosed Manhole Cover
Driven by a powerful industrial
engine, an electric generator pro
educes 220 volts at 25 amperes which
'gives the magnet a heafty pull. In
one instance. Ihe magnet lifted a
loose manhole cover from its place.
In some areas of the state, where
hauling scrap metal by truck is
.prevalent, the average poundage
of scrap metal is materially in
creased. On highway US30 be
tween Portland and Scappoose
Uiere has been an average of 10
pounds of scrap metal per mile
picked up by the road magnet per
year.

Second Symphony Program in Salem Rated Brigli t Success
By MARIAN' I.OWRY FISCHER
Capital Journal Writer ,
Occasionally through a busy year of many activities, varied
programs and super entertainments there comes along a con
cert in which every minute provides inspiring and beautiful
music. 1
For this season, that rare occa
sion came Tuesday night with the
season's second concert of the
Portland Symphony orchestra here.
It was an extraordinary program.
one that made every individual
sang with the symphony in the
Mozart "Kxsultate Jubilate" Mo
tet, and for her next appearance,
in the final movement of the
Mahler "Symphony No. 4 in G
Mninr"
there feel privileged to be attend- Noteworthy during both sclec
ing. It was one of those programs Hons was the genius of Theodore
in which every number throughout ; Bloomfield. conductor, in keeping
brought completely blissful and , the orchestral accompaniment in
melodious music.
Soloist Said Perfert
Brunette Mazzolini. soprano, was
soloist and a most happy selection
she was. Her soft, pure lyrical
voice was perfect for the numbers
chosen for solo parls. First she
subdued effect that all the more
accented the sensitiveness and pur
ity of the singing. Moreover, the
vocalist is a very pretty and gra
cious individual, "and completely
charmed her audience.
Opening number on the program
was the Moussorgsky Prelude to
Khovantchina. a first perform
ance by the Portland Symphony
this week in Portland and Salem.
Then came the Mozart number,
also a "first" for the orchestra
this week, followed by a most stir
ring performance of the Kodaly
"Dances from Galanta," the latter
also a first performance by the or
chestra this week, as was the
Mahler work..
Conductor Called Back
The enthusiastic audience called
back the conductor and soloist sev
eral times for applause.
It was a nice sized crowd on
hand, but there should have been
more, considering the magnifi
cance of the program and the all
out effort on the part of the civic
minded Salem Symphony society to
promote the orchestra and its bril
liant conductor. Surely the story
will go out about this perfect even
ing of music and there's the hope
the third and final concert on
March 12 will be a sellout.
