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. Christ

higher by 74,000 to 73,605 in 1955.

Merger Vote
30 to 60 Days
LIBERTY (Special) A vote on
merger of two Salem cooperative
canneries was postponed Saturday
for "30 to 60" days.
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

"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.
Paul Leach, Seattle, a director
in the national organization, led
