Bentley, Seattle postal inspector, told a Chamber of Commerce audience Monday at the Hotel Marion. This hoary old fraud is still bilking American suckers and shows no signs of letting up, Bentley said, adding that some of the victims suffer physical violence as well as loss of their money. The letetrs they get are virtually identical year after year and the something for nothing lure still works. Bentley told of numerous other frauds worked through the mails, many of whose perpetrators are now behind bars, through postal in spection activity. Bentley said the postal depart ment was the largest non-military branch of the federal gov ernment with over 500,000 em ployes. It has 41,000 post of fices, 32,000 rural routes, serv ing approximately one and a halt million miles every day, while over 50 billion pieces of mail were transported in 1953 by the department and there were over 900 million transactions, He said (he postal department bearing the Marine Corps had one of the largest saving blem, for his cooperation I while it was estimated that for j04 mere would be approxi matcly 53 7-10 billion pieces. Bentley had figures to show the 'growth of the Salem post office, comparing the 1B43 fig ures with those of 1953. Listing tne ltM3 figures first they are: employes, 93, compared 174; revenue $33,351, compared to $78,9b7; payroll, $14,778 and $78,967; receipts, $433,504 and $985,543. Speaking briefly before Bent ley was a newcomer to this country, Hans Kiessling, who only recently arrived in Salem from Germany. Kiessling told of the help given his country by the United States through the Hoover plan and the Marshal plan and of how his people appreciated- this help. Especially mentioned was the Berlin Air lift with tribute paid Gen. Lu cius Clay and the pilots who flew the lift. Before conclud-. ing his talk the German remind ed that since the 1953 election his country was the only one in Europe without communism rep resented, The program was arranged by the Marine Corps League and during the luncheon Postmaster Al Gragg was presented a plaque , em-and Girl Scouts to Sell Cookies Girl Scouts throughout the Santium area council will be knocking on doors and settine un downtown booths March 12-27 for their am.i.al cookie sale. The sale Is being started tills year on the founding date of the tzna year of Cirl Scouting in the United Slates. Girl Scout Week is being recognized this year Maren 7-13 with the theme, "Know Your Neighbors Know Your Nation." The Girl Scout program neces sitated drastic cutbacks this year as a result of failings in the 1953 Community Chest fund drive. Without the funds, cer tain vital portions of the program will, by necessity, have to be eliminiated. The 8-ounce box of cookies purchased in this community may well mean the difference be tween a program and no pro gram at all. In the four counties of Mar ion, Polk, Linn and lienton (comprising the Santiam area council) alone there are over 1,800 girls, and more than 600 trained adults assisting.
