Salem High School Fund Raiser Talks Himself into Chicago Trip t There's more than one way to raise fifty bucks for a worthy cause. One of the fastest was demonstrated ably by a diminutive high school newswriter before the Salem Chamber of Commerce Monday. The method: Direct approach. The demonstrator and glib-talking talesman:" David Blackmer. The result: Fifty bucks. Young Blackmer, sports editor of The Clarion, baiem nign scnooi paper, appealed 10 cnamoer mem bers in a brief announcement (sales talk) at luncheon in the Senator hotel. v It was this way, said David. The Clarion has won nine consecutive national awards as an All-American-rated school paper, possibly a record for excellence under Na tional Scholastic Press association standards. But The Clarion has never had a representative at the NSPA na tional ; convention, this year in Chicago. The staff decided to remedy this situation and its ad viser, Mrs. Leah Hogue, estimated the traveling expense at $250. The Salem Automobile Dealers underwrote $150 of this, provided the young newsmen raised the other $100. Several solicitations raised the total to $199 over the week . end, but the deadline for getting the money for the conven tion trip was S p.m. Monday. All this Dave Blackmer explain ed, to the chamber. Did anyone want to help out? Presiding officer Russel Pratt suggested . that members wishing to donate could do so in the cham ber office, and the chamber pro gram proceeded along other lines. Ten minutes after the meeting adjourned, young Blackmer made his way to the chamber office, with a fistful of greenbacks. He; was stopped by so many members at the door he had the money collected already. He counted close enough to $50 to consider the mission successful, the trip guaranteed. And just who will represent The Clarion in Chicago? ' David Blackmer, of course.' (He leaves by streamliner today.)
