weekly, published without, help
from wire aervices.
Iti newt 'runs heavily to such
items as . neighborhood visiting,
. 'reports on. dog and cat fights,
nesting sparrows, birthday part
. ies, ailing pets and jokes.
Editor of the gazette, which
has more than tripled its circu

in three months to reach a grand
total of 42, is Miles Schlesinger,
Bush School Sth grader and son
of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Settles

Co-editor la Paddy Hutchinson,
who enters school this fall. He
' is the son of Dr. Harold Hutchin
, son, Salem dentist.
An unofficial advisor is neigh'
bor Gov. Elmo Smith, a publisher
in his own right. Editorial office
is in the den of the Hutchinson
home.
In Its first issue the Gatette
wished Its dozen subscribers a
happy Easter and reported the
Easter plana of manv neighbors.
"Mrs. E. Paul Wedell and
daughter will be cleaning the
basement if it rains and it prob
ably will," read one item
An article in the second edi
tion explained why Mrs. Schles

also contained several "want ads"
and a "for sale" item.
The next edition trumpeted
fact that the Gazette had 36. sub
scribers, $2.19 in the kitty and i
brand new gelatine type printing
press.- This last, was a relief to
Mrs. Hutchinson' and Mrs. Schles

the first four editions.

pers the Gazette has had its prob
lems. The May 29 issue apologiz
ed for the lack of news, attribut
ing it to the fact that "one of
our assistance to .the co-editor
(unofficial) got tired of it all
and aome of our news reata at
the bottom of Richards pond."
Apology Issue
An ever-zealous reporter once
brought the governor's wife to
the door in her housecoat "You
who we have gotten out of the
bath tub," an apologetic note in
the next isaue of the Gazette
read," know this apology is for
you. We feel it would be poor
taste to mention names..'"

was ill, hi younger sister, Lynn,
8, delivered the Gszette , and
raced home with eight new sub
scriptions. The paper sell for 3
cents an isaue. A sympathetic
subscriber once offered Miles five
'cents. He refused, saying it would
foul up his bookkeeping.
The Gazette has political opin
ions, too. It support Elsenhower,
Smith and, for Salem city coun
cilman, Dr. A: D. Woodmanse,
who is, naturally, a subscriber.

State Forest
Fire Rate at
Record Low
Only 40 acres of the state' 13
million acres of forest land were
destroyed by fire during the first
six months of 1956, according to
State Forester Dwijjht L. Phippa.
This low figure represent the
best six-moath average in fire pre
vention aince the lands came un
der state forestry department
jurisdiction 43 years ago, Phipps
aaid.
There 'has been 'a total of 146
fires to date this year, but only
49 of them were man-caused, the
"forester reported. "Thi in it
self is an unusual record aince
man-caused fires usually run
about two-third of the total,".
Phipps said. ,
In making the figures known,
however, the -forester cautioned
that "conditions are becoming
hazardous, especially in the open
areas. Vacationists should be
especially aware of the fire dang
er during the Fourth of July hol
iday period," Phipps emphasized..
