Salem Oregon, Monday, Salem Spends Above Average On Education A government report released recently revealed that Salem is spending more money to educate its children than the average American city of its size. The statistics showed that Salem expenditures per pupil are well above the normal. The findings are based on the government's bien nial survey of education in the United States. Comparative data in the study, including years up to 1955. shows the amounts devoted to instruc tion, administration and mainten ance. It includes information on 3,568 independent public school systems throughout the country. Expenditures for fulltime pri mary and secondary schools in Sa lem came to $2,497,000 during the year. This amount included the sums spent on teaching, supervi sion and maintenance of school property. It does not include cap ital outlays. Breaking this figure down further this amounted to $282.10 per pupil. This was nearly five dollars above the average city of Salem's size, which was $277.37 per pupil. It was also well above the average of $276.52 per pupil which was the norm among cities of all sizes in the country. $150 Added To Hungary Relief Fund Although snow and freezing tem peratures kept business at a mini mum, four Salem area service stations reported a profit of ap proximately $150 in their "Fill Up for Freedom" drive Sunday. The money will go to the Red Cross Hungarian refugee fund. The four stations, which were manned by five Hungarians and several volunteers from the Salem 20-30 club, reported that business for the day was slightly below av erage but attributed it to the weather conditions. Brown's Shell service, 1115 Wal lace Rd., reported a profit of about $60. The other three stations all took in between $30 and $40 for the refugee fund. The other three were Sears Shell station, 12th and Mission streets; Capitol Street Shell. Capitol and Market streets and Robinson's Shell service, 680iDietz. Center St. The five Hungarians who helped out at the different stations, help ing pump gas, were two pairs of brothers, Joe and Alex Fejos, and Carl and Lasklo Panczel, and Bill Borok. The five were recent arri Yals in the Willamette valley. - Sunday's campaign was directed by James Keys, Marion County Hungarian Relief chairman. Schools Open Despite Snoiv Radio reports indicating school closures brought a rash of calls to the administrative offices of the local district Monday morning. However, hopes of youngsters w ho had anticipated an unexpected holiday wore dashed when it was determined that classes would be held as usual. In fact, at no time, was there serious thought given to closure since all of the roads were open to traflic. Later, it developed that the radio reports dealt with some of the schools in the Portland area. Receipts Decrease SHERIDAN (Special) A drop of $535.86 in postal receipts dur ing 1956 was announced by post master Clilf Bride this week. The 1955 total was $22,866.08.

The proposed merger, between United Growers of Liberty and Producers Cooperative Packing Co. was put off when a group of Pro ducers members asked time for further consideration. Some 70 growers attended the meeting. If the election had been held, a two-thirds majority of Producers Coop's 178 members would have been necessary to carry the mer ger. Final step of approval would come from boards of directors of the two companies. Alvan H. Randall, general man ager of United Growers, said it is still hoped that the merger will be in effect by the time the busy season arrives. Randall said the merger is de signed as an economic step to cut down overhead and operating costs. Under a merger, Randall said, both canneries would use facilities of the United Growers plant at Lib erty, with the Producers building at Importance of Told in Talk "The most Important thing men's garden club can do for its community is to see that the en trances to the city are beautiful and inviting, whether an airport, railway station or highway," said Stanley Grove, manager of the Sa lem Chamber of Commerce in an address before the Pacific North west Men's Garden Clubs at the Hotel Senator, Saturday night. Grove explained that first im pressions were, usually, the last ing ones and that "good architec ture, good landscaping and good planning are contagious and set a city apart from the others. Too, your own activities in maintain ing your home premises and keep ing them attractive rubs off on neighbors, public officials and oth ers. Groves said in lauding the activities of garden club members in developing better sites through their activities.
