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.)

TJedford POots Take Credit for
Clearing Fog Path for Airliner
MEDFORD, Nov. 20-(tfVTwo Medford men said today that fog
salted" from above with chemicals cleared enough to permit an air
liner to land with passengers on the Medford airport j
Eugene Kooser and Harvey Brandau, who employed I the new
method, reported their success today- They told this story:
United Air Lines flight No. 159 was due from San Francisco with
Medford passengers. The ceiling
only 800 feet. 200 feet low
er than required for transport
landings. Pilots of the transport
were Instructed to proceed to Eu
gene for a langing. The weather
bureau here, however, advised the
pilots to circle Medford to await
clearing weather.
Kooser and Brandau said they
went above the fog and "salted
It with chemicals they did not
identify. .The fog cleared and the
transport landed at 2:41 pjn.
UAL said it was unaware that
Kooser and Brandau were work
ing on the fog, but the company
confirmed that the ship was able
to land , after having been held
aloft by the fog.
The two pilots have been hired
la past winter and summer sea
sons for varied weather clearing
tasks. - Rogue valley orchardists
lave used them to dispel rain
clouds that might pelt fruit crops
with hail or heavy rain. They
were also hired by the Oregon
California Power company to
clear away clouds so ground
around . the company's Tokeeta
dam project would dry out.
' Robert Church, senior meteor
ologist of the weather bureau sta
tion here, had observed the expe
riment and the weather before and
after the "salt was dropped.
"There was no natural ' tendency
for improvement in view of the
rain, layers of clouds and temper
atures of 50 with dew point of 48,"
he said. He declined any comment
on the actual demonstration.
Kooser, who piloted the plane,
said "We .weren't at all sure of
achieving results under such un
favorable conditions. But he add
ed "We have been waiting for
weeks to show the airlines what
we can do. We can do much bet
ter than this. In fact, we've done
it several times this year, on the
Tokeeta dam job." j
