Keizer Store ClearR
." By THOMAS a WRIGHT
SUft Writer. The Statesman
' You won't find bare bosom
book covers next to the catsup at
Keizer Super Market anymore as
the result of a one-store campaign
to clean out suggestive pocket
editions, comic books and mag
azines. Wire pocket book racks look
almost as bare as the picked
chickens in the nearby meat de
partment, and the magazine and
comic book stands have plenty
of room for what one store em
ploye termed "decent litera
ture." ..-,
Protection of the school child
ren, who flock into the store
from the Keizer School across
North River Road, is store owner
Frank Hughes' prime motive be
hind the culling operation.
So far in a week's "censoring,"
some 600 publications more than
half of the total have been sent
back to the distributors as un
desirables. .
"Stand For God" - 1
Cover pictures and synopsis of
contents has been the basis of
the culling, handled principally
by store checkers Mickey Hick
man and Mary Smith. Hickman,
who censors the pocketbooks and
magazines, says his effort is
. 'making my stand for God."
Public reaction to the censor
ing has so far been good, reports
Hughes who said many of his
patrons - had commented favor
ably on the "clean" look of the
magazine department "Mag
azines are a small part of our
business and it wouldn't make
such difference if they were all
taken out," says Hughes.
, Take them out was what one
supplying agency threatened to
do when the store turned back
the unwanted books, but so far
they haven't made good on the
threat ,
Still on the-stands this week
however were copies of 11 detec
tive and expose' type magazines,
several of them carrying cover
pictures ? and inside photos as
suggestive as ny of the bosomy
covers on th pocketbooks. These

Pocketbook racks at Keizer Super Market were practically denuded this week as result of a "clean
up" of suggestive literature by owner and clerks at the store. Checker Mickey Hickman (in apron),
Baptist deacon who did most of the censoring, says it doesn't worry him now when school children

matter on their way home from school. . (Statesman Photo.)

maneuver headquarters.
He saw the other liaison plane

ing, pull out, hit a tree and crash
into a hillside. The nlann ranohf

the prime mover in the culling
operation. An active conservative
Baptist,-Hickman is young peo
ple's advisor, church pianist and
deacon of the Silvercrest Baptist
Church. Hughes, too, is active in
the Baptist church. .
Hughes said it worried him
when the school kids came - in
and looked at the suggestive
dinance bills ' before the alder
men. The bill fbr renewal of
Salem Electric's franchise as' an
electric power cooperative is ex
pected to be held for further
study in the coming weeks.
Alderman James Nicholson is
sponsoring a bill to raise the city
license fee from $10 to $100 a
year for door-to-door peddlers
using trucks or other vehicles on
their rounds.
Fence Bill
The junkyard fence" bill would
amend present law to. make it
more specific that junkyards
must be fenced to screen them
from view with wood or metal
fencing. As it is now,, the law
leaves the ' type of fence up to
the Council- -
. ; Another . change - proposed - by
that bill would be' to, require a
fence seven feet high. 'instead of
the present 10-foot heighth.
The proposal for switchboard,
radio and clerical' employes of
police and fire departments is
creation of a separate communi
cations department of the city,
incorporating their jobs in it
This would keep these em
ployes outside civil service cov
erage just as it now stands.
Question Raised .
Question has been raised over
these employes' status, because
of recent changes in retirement r
policies and plans. Civil Service ,
Chairman W. J. Entress has in-
dicated they must be brought un-
juci nvii auuiuuiiu pic
sent law, unless the council
designates a separate department
status for them.
The communications center,
which has been much expansion
in recent years, has always oper
ated in the police department,
but the Civil Service Commis
sion never adopted examinations
and rules for communications

Ten to 13 years old, they found
a hotel the high spot of the trip.
There they found that thrilling de
vice, the" elevator. They also were
entr ailed by . the awesome sound
in? vaccuum cleaner. .
Mrs. Del Brown, school teacher,
and Mrs. Katherine Geor?e, school
clerk, brought the children on
on their first trip to the city.
They also had their first ex
