Cushman Like
Fiction Hero
Truly that old author, Horatio
Alger, could have replaced
many of his heroes with Austin
T. Cushman, who is the vice
president of Sears, Roebuck &
Co., in charge of all west coast
operations.
Cushman, who is a native
westerner, was born and spent
his early youth in Albuquerque,
New Mexico. He attended the
New Mexico Military Institute
at Roswell and later the Univer
sity of California at Berkeley.
He began his Sears career as
an extra clothing salesman in
the Oakland store in 1931. One
year later he was made mana
ger of the San Francisco store.
He continued to be given inter
esting retail responsibility in
California.
In 1042 he was made super
visor of a group of stores in
California, Nevada, Arizona and
southern Oregon. He took over
the management of the Los An
geles retail district in April,
1945.
The Pacific coast territory
which Cushman now supervises
as vice president embraces the
states of California, Oregon,
Washington, Arizona, Utah, Ne
vada and Idaho.
Fire Near Baker
Under Control
Baker, Aug. 10 W) Firefight
ers last night had surrounded the
fire on Pedro mountain, about
30 miles from here, and if pres
ent cool weather continues will
keep it under control, according
to S. R. Bennett, district grazier.
An exceptional climb In hu
midity, from a reading of 7
Thursday, when the fire broke
out, to 57 today, helped control
the fire which has burned over
2000 acres of grass, sage and
timber holdings.
The grazing service official
said today that as far as he
knows no homes, human lives or
cattle have been lost in the fire
which, at its height, demanded
the attention of 200 firefighters
and 10 caterpillars.
The fire started Thursday
night in an area north of Pedro
mountain near Durkee. Fingers
traced a pattern over 15 miles,
mostly private acreage, although
the fired area was never a solid
mass of flame.
Anthony Brandenthalcr of the
Burnt River Lumber company
has estimated that the blaze may
have cost his firm ten million
board feet of lumber.
Father-Son Signal
Links, R. R., Plane
Denver, Colo . V) Passen
gers on the United Airlines'
flight from Denver to Cheyenne
nave noticed a train far below
them winking its big headlight
in the night. Passengers on the
8:15 p.m. Colorado and South
ern between the same two towns
have on more than one occasion
spotted the huge airliner flying
parallel to the track, systemat
ically blinking the lights on its
wings. This has been going on
tor tnrce years now.
The engineer of the train and
the pilot of the plane are father
and son. The blink-blink of the
lights is 64-year-old Clarence
Chapman's way of saying "How
re you, boy?" to his airborne
son, 31-year-old ,Capt. Leroy
unapman.
Ocassionally the senior Chap
man fancies-up his nocturnal
liello by lighting a red railroad
flare and holding it out the win
dow of his cab. "I'm right proud
of my boy," Clarence says. "And
I just like him to know the old
man's still up and around and
on the job."
Change in Billing
Cuts Postal Receipts
Lebanon Postal receipts
slumped at the Lebanon office
during July, dropping below the
54000 figure for the first time
since September 1947, when
they amounted to $3,505.13
July's figure was S3.997.13.
July sales in 1948 amounted
to $4,055.83, higher than this
year's by $58.90. The number of
parcels handled through the
cancellation machine, however,
was higher this July than last
year, amounting to 116,900,
compared to 105,775 during the
same month in 1948.
Postmaster Mcrril Smith ac
counted for the loss in revenue
by stating that many local bust
ncss firms and public utilities
had changed monthly billing
forms from the letter form cost
ing three cents postage to the
ready-print postal card style
vnich is mailed for one cent.
Postal receipts for the first
seven months this year arc
ahead of last year, pointed out
Clarence Roy, assistant postmas
ter, $32,621.98 having been re
ceived as compared to last year's
tigure of $31,924.96.
The present-day method of
simplifying the installation of
small clay tiles by mounting
them on large strips of paper is
very similar to a technique or
iginated in Asia Minor in the
13th century.

Auditor Shoots
Salem People
T. R. Stook (Ted to you), who
has been with Sears since 1941,
uses a reverse twist on the old
desire of many people to shoot
the auditor.
Ted, who lists photography
among his many hobbies, won
the grand prize in a contest last
year. So far this year Ted's shots
of local people have won two
weekly prizes.
Besides managing his office of
twelve employees and spending
his many hours in his dark
room, Ted finds time for soft
ball and tennis, and while he re

never a bride as far as badmin
ton is concerned, he has been

Youngsters ifsually like a sal
ad if it has raisins in it. Here's a
raisin-carrot-banana combina
tion they'll really go for. Pour
boiling water over a cup of
seedless raisins and let them
stand about five minutes, then
drain them well and chill them.
When you're ready to serve put
the chilled raisins in a bowl
with a cup of grated carrot and
a cup of diced banana, and en
ough mayonnaise to moisten;
mix lightly so as not to crush
banan. Serve on crisp lettuce
leaves to six hungry young people.
