After 40 years in cement work in England. Central America and Sa
lem, W. II. Clowes, 1365 Mill st, is continuing his work by turning
his hobby of making rustic wood fences into a vocation. Clowes is
shown above with one of his reinforced concrete rustic fences which
so resembles log and tree stamps that close inspection is necessary
to discover the true composition of the fences. The fences are very
realistic and will last long after the real thing has fallen into decay.

Inflation Scales
New Heights in
Shanghai Mart
SHANGHAI, Saturday, Dec. 25
(JP)- Commodity prices were on a
dizzy climb in Shanghai this
Christmas day.
xIt can be best explained by
these comparative figures:
On Labor day Sept. 6, 20 gold
yuan were worth 5 U. S. They
would buy three cartons of Amer
ican cigarettes.
Today 20 gold yuan will buy
one package of cigarettes.
The black market rate for gold
yuan has dropped to a low of
95 to $1 U. S.
Commodity prices go up as the
yuan rate goes down. Some went
up as much as 100 per cent yes
terday. Rice, the main staple of food,
was getting dearer. It cost 480
gold yuan to buy a 165-pound
bag. Yesterday the same size bag
cost 360 yuan.
Greeting Received
From Stayton Man
STAYTON Ed Forrette has
received a Christmas greeting
from Brig. Gen. A. J. Funk from
Stuttgart, Germany, mailed No
vember 29. Perhaps the highest
ranking military officer who is a
native of Stayton, he is a cousin
of Forrette an other Stayton res
idents. General Funk was born and
educated in Stayton. He attended
grade school with Floyd Crab
tree and Leo Rock, who now live
in Salem. He graduated from
Stayton high school and Oregon
State college and has made the
army his career. The Funk family
home was the one now occupied
by the Raleigh Harolds on West
Washington street
He was captured on Corregidor
in World War II.
The greeting card carried a pic
ture of the former Stayton man,
who said he was welL
Ants, bees, wasps, saw flies,
gall-wasps and ichneumon flies
are all members of the same in
sect family: hymenoptera.
Stayton Adds
Yijle Displays
For Christmas
STAYTON Many novel out
door Christmas displays and store
windows are in evidence about
Stayton.
An outstanding Christmas scene
is that at the. Louis Freres home
on East Jefferson street where
Santa Claus and his reindeer
drawn sleigh ride the rooftop.
Realistically painted in gay
Christmas colors Santa waves to
passersby. The reindeer have
been motorized so that they seem
to be galloping across the roof.
- Freres cut the figures from ply
wood and used them at Christmas
time last year. This year they
have been painted and action has
been added, along with flood
lights. Trees In the dooryard have
been given colored lights and
blue lights outline the eaves. A
tree decorated in blue shines
from a front window.
Other attractive displays about
town include those at the homes
of Conrad Neibert, Herman Dar
ley, Julian DeJardin, T. G. Freres,
Bill Nielson and Walt Bell.
Downtown the stores have also
been given their holiday attire,
and nearly every place of busi
ness has its tree. One of the first
to decorate was the Lancefield
and Burmester store with its dec
orated tree and snow scene.
The window of the George H.
Bell real estate office, which Mrs.
Bell decorated, has a tree with
gaily wrapped packages beneath
it. Streamers of silver and green
foil form a decorative back
ground.
The window of Kay's Dress shop
features gifts amid a snow scene
with lamplight. Snowballs gleam
in the blue light which floods
the window.
An attractively decorated tree
adorns the office window of
Schlies Bros, garage on Water
street.
In the windows of Baldwin and
Stangeby are a fireplace and a
choir singing, drawn in crayons.
