Land Session Report Given The recent conference ot t h e Western States Public Lands as sociation held at Las Vegas, Nev., was one of the more interesting meetings held in recent years.

TO CHRISTMAS Yule Buying (Continued from Page 1) but that he was sure the total busi ness in Salem is ahead of that nf previous years, although some businesses were behind a little. Doug Yeater, president of the Downtown Merchants Assn., said he believed that this week will prove to be the biggest week for business the downtown area has ever had. He too agreed that some stores might be losing ground in the changing retail sit uation but thought the overall pic ture was excellent. As one downtown merchant put it, "We're tired, but happy." ehanis were also ootimistic and one leading merchant there said I he believed all of them would at least equal last year's business In other shopping centers, busi ness leaders felt that generally business would equal last year's. More Expensive, Practical Gifts The trend in giving this year is a seeming self-contradiction. Shop pers are buying more expensive gifts and more practical gifts, merchants say. But it really isn t a contradic tion, businessmen explain. For while the average buyer is spend ing more per gift this year, he is also demanding more quality and more practicality in his purchases. The "frills" are less popular. One clothine store manager gave an example of the increased cost of gifts. "By keeping count of the number of customers and dividing it into the day's business es, we figure the average amount per purchase. Last year, it was about $8. This year, its $10." Clothing Stores Up Clothing stores generally felt that quality sales were up this vcar. although one noted that there was a bigger demand for less expensive suits. Furniture stores said business was good in small items and children's furniture and that even television sets, upholstered furni ture, etc. was moving well. Florist shops indicated the flo wer business was holding its own with last year although Christ mas is not normally considered a big floral holiday. The indication is, it seems, mat everyone should have a Merry Christmas this year. Board Authority Told The state Parole Board doesn't acquire authority over persons placed on probation by the courts unless the courts ask the board to assume such jurisdiction, Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton ruled Tuesday.

Korea Waifs (Continued from Page 1) U do anything until he could become better acquainted, Mrs. Flatt said Takes Life Easy Meanwhile, little Rhonda Faith King, "eight months, was taking life easy at the Harry A. King home, Rt. 4, in the Rosedale district. She's too young to know either Korean or English, Mrs. King said. but smiles when talked to or played with, and likes to cat. Rhonda joins Billy, 3, and Rcva Joy. 5. at home. The Kings also have two other children ot their own who are married. Mrs. King said they decided to adopt one of the Korean-American youngsters "because we like children and thought this was a chance to also help someone else out." Boy Got Airsick And at the McKeon residence a mile west of Stayton, John Michael McKeon was just beginning to en joy his new home. Unfortunately, he was subject to airsickness on the flight from Korea and San Francisco, his new father said, and he also has a cold from which he is just beginning to recover. The McKeons have no children of their own, but hope to adopt an other Korean-American to live with John, McKeon said. An appli cation to adopt a girl at the same time they got John was lost and a new application was too late to get one this year, he said. How ever, they hope to. get a girl if the refugee act Is extended by Congress lo allow more youngsters to enter this country.
