ONLY REAL ESTATE
MEN WITH LICENSE
MAY COLLECT FEES
Carl Y. Tengwald, member of
the state realty board of exam'
lners, said today the state su
prema court ha unanimously
upheld a decision written by
Justice Arthur D. Hay that no
person can get a commission for
selling real property unless he
is licensed by the state as a real
estate broker.
The decision was a reversal
of Circuit Judge J. R. Green in
an appeal from Deschutes coun
ty, Tengwald said.
Tengwald cited a case in
Deschutes county in which J. N
Hunter, acting a agent for the
late Mr. Emily F. Gilchrist
Wells, claimed $29,062 in com
missions for finding a buyer for
$990,000 worth of her timber.
The lower court granted his
commission but the supreme
court ruled against him, Teng
wald said.
NO MAIL GLUT AT
LOCAL POSTOFFICE
Requests urging public coop
eration in mailing Christmas
cards and packages .early
brought a good response from
Medford citizens, according to
Postmaster Frank DeSoUza, who
stated today that while the load
Is naturally heavy, there la no
glut in the local mall situation.
The outgoing mail peak has been
passed and receipts are now
lighter than In previous years
four days before Christmas.
Last Monday was the largest
day in the history of the local
postoffice, in stamps sold, war
bonds purchased, and packages
received for mailing, the post
master says. De Souza attributed
the early mail clearance partly
to the fact that many persons
sent packages to soldier at a
distance, and also many lent
gift boxes of fruit, which go by
express.

nounced today. A survey made
by the Chamber of Commerce

maining open in the evenings the
latter part of this week, but no
general policy could be agreed
upon, due to the shortage of mer
chandise in some stores.
Many courthouse offices will
hold gift exchanges Saturday
afternoon, and the county clerk's
office has a decorated tree.

Railroad shares rose 1 to 2
points today to new high since
August 31, 1937, on average and
lifted the whole stock market
higher on increased turnover.
The betterment came when
the recent decline was arrested
and a small amount of purchase
orders found offerings absent.
The pressure lifted in all sec
tions of the carrier group on the
theory the longer war will help
the roads further to improve
their financial position.
Rails led in volume. Baltimore
& Ohio topped the group. Other
active carriers included New
York Central, Northern Pacific.
Baltimore St Ohio preferred, and
Delaware, Lackawanna & West
