anxious about your life, what you shall eat, nor about your body,
what you shall put on. For life is more than food, and the body

' why are you anxious about the rest?
t Consider the UUes, how they grow; they neither toil nor
spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not
arrayed like one of these. If God so clothes the grass which
' Is alive in the field today and tomorrow is thrown into the
oven, how much more will he clothe you, O men of little

"Do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink,
' nor be of anxious mind. For all the nations of the world seek
these things, and your Father knows that you need them Instead,
seek His kingdom, and these things shall be yours as well."

Editorial Critic J. E. 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. "That may be good or

Oregon Flax
Fibre Market
Marks Rise
The Oregon flax fibre market
has showed marked improvement
during the past few months with
the demand increasing steadily,
Henry Crawford, chairman of the
Oregon flax and linen board re
ported here Friday.
Crawford said members of the
board would meet here next week
to discuss the entire flax situation.
Improvement In the flax market.
Crawford said, was due largely to
a shortage of flax fibre and seed
in foreign countries. Reports re
ceived by Crawford Indicated the
1950 Belgium flax crop was badly
damaged by recent storms.
"Virtually an of the Pacific
coast Cax fibre has been sold.'
Crawford said, and eastern buyers
still' want more of the product."
Crawford predicted a prosperous
future for both the state peniten
tiary flax Industry and the co
opertive flax plants in Oreroo.
Salem linen nulls were reported
well protected so far as raw ma
terials are concerned.
Lignite Is a low-grade coal.
