The army called its first organized reserve groups out of here in October. These were the 369th quartermasters with Lt. Col. Homer G.

Lyon, as commanding officer. Reporting for active duty October 15, 1950, the men of the two outfits first went to Vancouver barracks and later in the month were sent to their respective stations. The engineers went to Fort Worden, and the quartermasters to Fort MacArthur, Calif. The first of May, 1951, men another reserve outfit, the 894th army postal unit, commanded by Capt. Styme B.

The navy instead of calling entire units has from time to time been calling to active duty men from the organized naval reserve surface division here and from the organized Seabee reserve unit. Also called to active duty have been a few men from the units training at the Salem naval air facility. With the call to active duty earlier in 1951 of Oregon's Air National Guard units a few other Salem area men were taken from civilian life to serve with the armed forces on active duty.

Also claiming a number for active duty with the air force was the 403rd troop carrier wing of the air force reserve, which is based at Portland, but having a number of Salem men on its roster.

Cherries Come In Fine Shape Given another 10 days or two weeks of weather similar to that which has prevailed recently and the valley will have harvested one of the largest crop of cherries in recent years. Royal Annes are being delivered in "beautiful shape," reports Robert Shinn of the Willamette Cherry Growers, and while much of the fruit is being processed for marischino purposes, a large tonnage is going into cans for the retail trade. The canning is being handled by Hunt Brothers. Blue Lake is handling a modest tonnage of cherries, the fruit going into brine and cans. Very little cracked fruit is reported and the crop is described the cleanest in years.

Blue Lake continues to handle strawberries but this crop is expected to wind up on a commercial basis this week. All concerned report more pickers could be used although no damage from any cause is reported. Pickers who have worked in the strawberry fields are shifting to the cherry orchards. However, most cherry growers prefer men and women as pickers since the moving of ladders is a task that few youngasters are sufficiently strong to cope with.

Col. Carl was cited "for his outstanding contributions to evaluation of advanced-type val aircraft and for a continuously outstanding career devoted to the advancement of art and science of flying." A World War II ace with 18 Japanese planes to his credit, Carl during the last year of the war was assigned to Patuxent, where as a test pilot he was responsible for much of the early test work conducted on jet-propelled aircraft for the navy.

In the period from 1947 to 1949 the Hubbard flier was commanding officer of the marine fighter squadron 122, first jet fighter squadron of the marine corps, and during this time he led a jet stunt team.
