Scope and content
On May 1, 1943, Salishan, a new 2,000 unit housing development for defense workers, was finally ready for occupancy. Ten families moved in the first day, with 25-30 more scheduled for move-ins daily until the units were fully occupied. The Yorges family, originally from Palouse, Wa., was pictured on moving day. From left to right are 10 year old Janice with the family dog, Mrs. Yorges and Ralph Jr., and Ralph Senior carrying a chair. (T. Times 5/3/1943, pg. 1)
