Postal Jobs;
' Rush Now On
i Checking postal receipts for
this month against those of De
cember, 1932. authorities at the
Salem postofflce yesterday esti
mated that Christmas mailing Is
paralleling that of 1932.
Addition of five extra helpers
Wednesday brought the total of
holiday special employes to 20.
Heaviest work of the p re-Christmas
rush In sorting and carrying
mail is to begin today when in
coming man will probably take a
big jump.
Either Salem residents are not
mailing aa many intra-city greet
ings this season as formerly or
they are slower than nsnal; post
office officials agree that this por
tion of the business has not ap
proached that of previous years.
Warning that flood conditions
in this state and Washington as
well as storm troubles elsewhere
will considerably check mail
transportation and delivery. Post
master John H. Farrar is urging
that parcel and greetings even
for nearby points be mailed at
once.
Although lines at the parcel
post and stamp windows of the
postofflce yesterday and Tuesday
were, shorter than those of Mon
day, when ths crowd could not be
accommodated within the build
ing, clerks were kept constantly
busy and most of the day at least
10 persons were standing fei line.
Farrar said he expected approxi
mately the same business today.
A. C. Anderson, president of
th-e organization known before
and daring the recent special
legislation session as the Farm
ers and Truck Owners' Protec
tive association, last night an
nounced that he and ' his msny
associates would keen their ot-
up Intact and continue to serve
truck operators as an Informa
tion nurean. The association's
name, he charged, was recently
appropriated by another truck or
ganisation which has filed for in
corporation. "We are urging our members
to comply with the new truck
law, which we feel has worth
while changes from the old. and
send In reports of their mileage
rrom October 20 as agreed with
the state supervisor of transpor
tation," Anderson added. "Onr Ia.
gal staff will assist our members
and we will give them all the as
sistance in their nroblema v ran
at my office, 545 Chemeketa

blackface skit. Pauline Zoa Cham
bers and Buddy Sewell danced
and sang in the finished manner
which Salem andiences hare come
to expect of them. The Elks' chor
us directed by Dick Robertson,
was pleasing- especially in Its
lighter, comedy numbers, "Big
Bad Wolf" and the "Lazy Bones
Specialty" in which the Alpha
Phi Alpha trio also had a part.
Piano Trio Outstanding .
One of the unusual numbers
was a piano trio, Clarence Wen

Grant's orchestra furnished sev
eral distinctive numbers and: its
accompaniment to the entire
show, together with the work of
Dr. Armln Berger as master of
ceremonies, lent an admirable fin
ish .'to the entire performance.
A selo by Dick Barton, several
numbers by the Elks trio. Robert
son, Max Alford and Barton, a
spectacular skating act by Lane
and Campbell and the comie ada?
gio by Clara Hurley and Elmer

and between shows.
The show will be repeated to

Schools Rush for
CWA Money; Sales
Tax Income Eyed
Schools throughout the county
are making plans to modernize
their plants and to provide- em
ployment throagh the use of CWA
funds, Mrs. Mary L. Fulkerson.
county superintendent, reported
yesterday.
She said that a number of
school directors were busy figur
ing the amount of funds they
would receive if the sales tax be
comes law. Quite uniformly the
rural districts are discovering
their receipts would be much
greater under this tax than under
a direct levy on property since
the richer, more populous dis
tricts would be forced to distrib
ute their surplus portion of the
tax on sales to th poorer areas.
