June 15 -UPV "They're smarter than I think" should be the name of disk jockey Robert Swartz' radio program. The music and chatter man dreamed up one for his station KHQ matinee fans that he was sure would confuse them. He ran a recording of a popular record backward and defied his listeners to put the correct name on the garbled rendition. "If you're right." he told his fans, "I'll do any odd job around the house you say." Eighteen music lovers picked the right name and disk jockey Swartz has his choice of an as sortment of jobs. One newlywed bride wants him to help iron shirts. A man needs help with a new roof. A high school student wants a leaky fish pond mended. Strawberry patches need picking and lawns need mowing. Even this black cloud had a silver lining one of the win ners just wanted Swartz to go fishing with him.

The new system starting July I will mean a change from route-and-box-number addresses to the street-number type for those who live in that area. The post office and city engi neering department have been working on the street numbering system, and considerable progress has been reported. New street markers will be up soon on streets that have not been identified in the past Officials say Kingwood and Cas cade drives have been a source of much confusion in the area. Street signs indicate that Kingwood drive begins at the foot of the hill a bit past the railway crossing. Actually that is Cascade drive, which is partly within and partly outside the limits of West Salem. It runs up the hill to Gehlahr road and continues on. Kingwood drive, which is all within the annexation, departs from Gehlar road in a westerly direction from Cascade. Both Cascade and Kingwood drives follow a winding course.
