Stanton ; The problem of "postal garbage" was discussed in this column yesterday, with reference to the chiseling attempts of so many concerns to obtain advertising benefits through free mention in the news columns of the newspaper. I pointed out that the editor of a newspaper is placed on the spot daily by requests and demands for publicity which should go into the paid advertising columns. I said also that it frequently is difficult to define the exact line between news and advertising. A good example of the type of borderline publicity is found in a weekly release from the Chamber of Commerce at Yachats, Oregon. Here is an outstanding example of the science of publicity. Each week newspapers recieve from the Yachals Cham ber of Commerce a news story tellinir of conditions and events at the popular beach resort. There is no question of definition. . The matter is strictly advertising. It is designed to draw more people to Yachats for th! benefit of the business interests of that community. Consequently, it should be paid for at advertising rates. Yet, many people are interested in knowing what is going on at the coast, when the tides are right for clamming or fishing, what fish are running, and other such infor mation. Furthermore, a Chamber of Commerce is a non profit organization and isn't expected to have an advertising fund sufficient to cover all Oregon newspapers. Material Artfully Presented Most intriguing in' this material from Yachals, how ever, is the style in which it is presented. Consider this gem, for instance: As wa look out tha window tha hail from tha last squall is pilad high on tha sill, and tha sun is shining warmly. Tha ocaan. is angry and rampaging in ona diractlon and living up to its name, tha blua Pacific, not far away. Saa tha spindrift sail high on tha . saaward wind, like a fkaat of toy catboats. Batwaan timas tha saa may ba a pool of asura with wavalats which say no mora than "plop." Tha swallows ara back and wandaring why. Daffodils bloom brilliantly, looking vary summary whan tha sun is shining and vary brava whan tha sky turns gray. Within a faw hours thara may ba mist ar a downpour, sunshina, hail or slaat or snow, gentla itohar, a gala, romping gusts, or no wind at all, changing from minuta te minuta. It Is a sorry sport who lots tha waathar dictata his mood; who anjoys nothing which Is not blassad with sunshina. A water proof It tha most sarvlcaabla garment for tha baach; it shads rain bul.lt also braaks tha wind, and It Is light to carry whan it Isn't naaded. Coma and anjoy April with us its laughtar and its tear. Cut it out, Swanie! It you don't I'm apt to find myself wheeling the family jalopy down to Yachats and, like the swallows, wondering why. WESTERN RECION. "A SMALL AMOUNT'' Most of the pulpwood used by the nation's pulpwood industry comes from small ownerships and farm woodlnts, reports the American Forest Products Industries. Al though the industry spends some 514-million annually in management of its own forest lands, approximately 4.220 000 owners of small woodlots furnish the major part of the raw material. Tulp companies, owning or leasing only six per cent of the nation's commercial foresllands, will always have to buy millions of cords of pulpwood annually from fanners, even after their own lands reach capacity production some 25 years hence. In the Appalachian region GO per cent of (he pulinvood supply comes from smnll landowners. In the South 70 per cent; Northeast 30 to 50 per cent; Lake States 50 per cent, and, from the Western Region, says American Forest Pro ducts Industries, "a small amount." Pulp and patier production does not yet figure mater ially in the timber usage of the Pacific Northwest. Other regions have gone through their stage of primary man ufacture and have turned to pulp and paper to utilize new growth. Eventually this stage will be reached in the North west and in Douglas County. The farmer and small land owner, providing woodlots are properly managed in the meantime, will then hnve a real asset.

Many state and Bill Requires Payment For Property Damages SALEM il The Senate passed and sent to the House Wednesday a bill to make counties pay pron erty owners damages caused by changes in road and highway grades. The state already has to pay such damages. The bill was 'ought by Multnomah County commission ers, as it would affect the county's j plans for the proposed Mnr.'ison Street bridge reconstruction.

Doctor Says Stronger Wine Wouldn't Cause Alcoholism MJo,j(e 1 SALEM ii A physician who has treated alcoholics for 13 years said Wednesday that . alcoholism wouldn't be increased by sale of fortified wine in grocery stores. Dr. John It. Montague, Portland. I old the House Alcohol Committee that the amount of alcohol in a beverage "has no relation to what an alcoholic will drink, 'w'tioes' are a small proportion of the number of alcoholics." "If a man is an alcoholic. tl ioesn't make any difference to him what he drinks. And making it easier or harder for him to gctj alcohol doesn't change the situa- tion." The bid would allow retail sale of wine with 21 per cent alcohol. The ! limit now is 14 per will. Gerald Meinill. spokesman for the Wine Council of Oregon which in troduced the hill, said there has been a great change in public .ventinienl since passage of the 1!U1 law banning retail sale of more BY A.

Such wine now is sold only i,i liquor stores. Before the 1944 law was passed, wine sales in Oregon totaled 683, 000 gallons a year. Now, Meindl continued, the amount has dropped to 156,000 gallons. George Woodworth. attorney for the Sta'.e Liquor Commission, said passage of the bill probably would take the state out of the wine bus iness. The state stores, be added,' make litt.c profit on wine while i carrying a big inventory.

Canadian Town Faces Typhoid Epidemic 1MNCIIEK Cltl'.KK. Alta. :.n This mountain town 40 miles north of Glacier Park. Mont., has taken itriii'U'f.t measures to curb an oil' break of tyr.hoid. Three known and two suspected typhoid cases have been reported, and authorities said a number of other persons have an ailment t''at may be a forerunner of the disease. Dr. Norman Basler, a provincial health officer, said the water sup ply is suspected as the source of the outbreak because P i n c h e r Creek has no purification plant. All residents have been ordered to boil drinking water. .Milk sup plies also are being tested, and workers in fowl handling estab lishments have taken blood tests.

Sen. Geddes Clarifies Statement On Voting Age SALEM I was very much in terested in reading the fine letter to the editor from a student in Roscburg Senior High School, Brad j Wiles. I was very glad to receive his reaction to the proposed hill to grant the vote to eighteen-year-olds and I was not surprised to have him take offense at the quo tation which purportedly was made by me to the effect that young people that are not con cerned with much except pursuing the opposite sex. I Unfortunately it is not an un usual thing for a news story to give an entirely wrong impres sion by the omission or addition of : a few words. In discussing this bill before the . Senate l told the legislators of the hearing which had been held on the hill. I told them that the group of teen-agers who aopearcd : to discuss the bill presented ihe most thought-provoking and well ; organized discission that I had ever been privileged to hear a,t ; any hearing. I also told them that several of those leen-airers did not ! favor the hill and that in their j words they felt that "most eighteen j vear olds were more interests ! in chasing members of the oppo I site sex than in taking part in po i litical activity." I would like to have all young i neople in that bracket re.ili.'e thai l I have not in any wav wished to belittle their qualifications, and I do reali?e that that age group to dAy is probably far more serous and more capable of taking nart in governmental activities 'han : they were a few decades ago. It was pointed out bv the group ' at the hearing that our laws will not allow persons to serve on jur ies deciding controversial quc i lions until they are twenty four years old and certainly as much maturity is needed to decide on i matters of government as on per ! sop.il differences. 1 have not con tended 'hat there was any lick in intelligence or willingness, hut only in maturity in some of those in this ge group, PAI L E.
