Good use will be made of it Doug Seymour, the C-J city editor has a hobby involving such mailed advertisements and I have taken to turning all such mail over to him. Doug, it seems, got fed up some time ago with getting dozens of such solicitations from book clubs, magazine firms, political groups, etc., along with offers of samples or special rates on everything from disposable diapers to head ache pills. In reprisal, he now lakes the literature from one such outfit, stuffs It In the postage-paid en velope from another place and drops II In the mailbox. Occa sionally, he even drops In a few newspaper clippings to make it overweight so the company can. pay the postage due when It ar rives. Doug heartily recommends the practice to everyone. He figures If the advertisers have to pungle up the extra dough for postage each way, they'll look for a less expensive way of advertising and quit loading up the mall with un wanted literature. Our advertising department got a full-page play in latest Spotlight, H. J. Heinz Co. magazine, for a baked bean advertisement. The ad, which ran in a fall is sue of Salem papers, heavily fea tured new brand of beans in full page grocery promotion. In center ol page was picture of two hunt ers seated on log alongside guns and decoys, enjoying can of beans over a campfire. The "lake" In the background Is actually the barrow pit at Sa lem by-pass and Mission street, hunters are two Heinz represen tatives and the one real duck In the picture was found alongside the highway as they went to take the picture, reveals Larry Baer, brains behind the ad.

Elmer Mortojison is in favor, of allowing teachers more leeway in the use of corporal punishment. The fatner of 13 children, he says it would be impossible to livo at his home without corporal punisnment. Presumably Oregon teachers are already checking the list of Ore gon legislators for someone with 13 children to take up the cudgel for them here. In Passing: "HI," said the mlndreader as he met a fellow seer on the street. "You're fine. How am I?" Kucknian Named To Fescue Group Gov. Robert D. Holmes today appointed Tom Ruckman, promi nent Union county seed grower and warehouse operator, to Ore gon's Chcwings and Creeping Red Fescue commission. Ruckman succeeds Sen.

Few Problems Here, Hardy States to 140 Lecturer Speaks at Leslie, Shows Movie Salem Is a good place to live and work. The city has few prob lems common to a growing city of its size but will have to keep look ing forward and continually plan ning if it is to maintain the pres ent pace, David Keith Hardy, noted traveling lecturer, told a Sa lem audience last night. Some 140 persons heard Hardy and viewed the film, "Our Living Future," at Leslie. Junior high school. Hardy said" he has seen few cities "with problems so mini mal as Salem's." But he warned listeners that this is the time of greatest danger. "Necessary public action to com bat city decay is less likely in a community such as this where problems aren't so great." He cited septic tank open drain age aging homes and poor sewage that will have to be cleaned up locally or will become a blight on the city. Basically, he said, the job In Sa lem is to hold the line. He urged that the downtown area be made more "beautiful if it is going to keep up with suburban stores."
