Putnam Hail and Hearty cis He Marks 92nd Birthday at Keizer Home By Lester F.'Cear Valley Editor. The Slatnman (Photo on Pa Re 1) KLiut, uec. b j. r rumam, neuer resiaent wno has con tributed letters to newspaper editors for 75 years, observed his 82nd birthday reading The Statesman from cover to cover and listening to radio newscasts. Putnam, wno lives wiin ms Salem route 2, is one of those unusual newspaper readers who turns to the editorial page before thum bing through to find the comics. 'I always read the editorial page first," Putnam told The Statesman reporter who called to extend con gratulations Friday. "Evaluating editorials has been a hobby with me since I was a boy." Putnam was born at Clarendon, Mich.. Dec. 8. 1858. and moved to the Dakota territory in 1871. He migrated to Colorado in 1903, and came to Salem in 1932. A musical instrument salesman most of his life, Putnam recalls traveling his route by horse and buggy "when pianos were scarce and organs were all the rage." Still in excellent physical and mental health. Putnam recalled Friday that he began sending let ters to editors when he was 17 years old. " Iread an editorial in a Michi gan paper that I thought deserved some comment,' Putnam recol lected. "I sent the editor a letter and have been at it ever since." During his long career as an avid newspaper reader, Putnam has contributed letters on count less historical events. He watched as most of the western territories were admitted to statehood. He read accounts of a half dozen wars including those with the Indians and Spanish. Now, he is watching with keen Interest the current con lief in Korea which threatens to throw the entire world In World War III. Since arriving in Salem 18 years ago. Putnam has been a steady contributor to The States man's "Safety Valve," the column on the editorial page which per mits readers the right in print to agree or disagree with the edito rial or news columns. Statesman readers, old and new, are familiar with Putnam s sagacious and con structive comments. Putnam attributes his longevity to his morality, the fact that he has never used tobacco or liquor and his love of living out of doors. He is a member of Jason Lee Methodist church, and until re cently was active in the Keizer Grange. His wife, Grace, died on Nov. S. 1942. at the agetf 83. "I hope you live to be 82." the nonegenarian commented as your statesman reporter bid him good bye Friday.

Crawford said members of the board would meet here next week to discuss the entire flax situation. Improvement In the flax market.

"Virtually an of the Pacific coast Cax fibre has been sold.' Crawford said, and eastern buyers still' want more of the product."
