Vic Fryer Today in Salem J Elmer Deeti, Canby dairy ; farmer who led battle for re- peal of itate milk control law ' i couple years ago and was elect- ed to House for one session ,i was victim of some kind of I hoax or mix-up last week. 0 Registered letter notified the 1 Deeties that a supply of steel ,J was being delivered to their farm for construction of a y swimming pool. The Deeties ,1 had no plans, desire or use for a swimming pool so immediate ly phoned the Portland Steel :l cumpany on whose letterhead y$ the letter was written . and 1 asked what was going on. The company had no record of v auch an order and said maybe ; someone made a mistake. But that wasn't likely, Deetz pointed out, because the letter had .complete legal description of the garm, and the correct address on the envelope. A check with the concrete company that builds the : pools also showed no such order on hand. '-.j At any 'rate no truckload of steel showed up and Deetz doesn't know if the letter was - someone's idea of a ioke or if ' he was supposed to be the mid dleman in an "unordered mer- ; chandise" racket. In the latter legitimate company is ordered to deliver something to an address. Few minutes later another truck picks it up as it was delivered ; "by mistake." Second truck, of course, makes off with free merchandise (a truckload of steel in this case). . Two Portland radio stations have limited disc jockeys to 5 seconds or less for their id '' lib quips between records. Now if music lovers could only fig- ure out some way to eliminate those five-second spots . , , : Longview, Wash., man has de veloped an airplane-car combina tion that has received OK of Civil Aeronautics Administration for flight and of State of Wash- , ington for use on highway. . Wings and tail assembly de- . mount in five minutes and can : be towed or left at airport as .situation warrants. Car looks not much different from some of the ' small foreign can on the road .y except that it sits up higher and '; wheels extend out to sides short distance rather than being : built right under the body. It is - complete with windshield wash ers, headlights, turn signals, etc., required for highway travel as well as aircraft lighting and oth er air requirements.

' WU Meatless Meals To Bring . Meatless meals are going to bring a Hungarian student to the Willamette University campus this fall. By having the student living or ganizations abstain from meat at four meals this spring, the University will use the money saved to pay tuition and books for an Hungarian student. The idea for a money-making project to finance the foreign student grew after an intercol legiate conference on the Hun garian situation. Group Studies Willamette's UNESCO group, acting as a committee to investi gate the possibility of bringing Hungarian students to the cam pus, found that the Salem Coun cil of Churches would provide room and board, and Salem's ' Meier It Frank assured them that LAWN SEED Reg $1 CLIMBING ROSES mm BLEEDING HEART GLAD BULBS A.
