He described the news paper clipping scheme and the costly COD package sometimes addressed to a deceased person and containing perhaps a cheap fountain pen. He read a list of fraudulent schemes advertised in a current magazine which in cluded two "write a song ads," five "crooked dice and cards" ads, one "hair restorer, one "love charm," one "detective school" and one "false teeth" ad Other advertisements Col.

The Tummers first visited in Air. Tummers' n a ti v e Holland, his parents being residents of Til burg, and later they were in Belgium, France, Italy, Switzer land, Luxembourg and other countries. They traveled both ways by air. While the Tummers enjoyed their stay abroad very much, they report that conditions in Europe, particularly southern Europe and Italy, leave the trav eler with a deep sense of depres sion. "The people in Italy appar ently are very discouraged, Mr. Tummers reported. "It is said that more than half of the Ital ians do not have steady eniDlov- ment and there is a general air of discouragement. One hears talk of war constantly, and peo ple seem to believe that there is little use of making an effort toward economic recovery since any gains would merely be swal lowed up in the next war. Ital ians have turned to communism because they believe any change would have to be an improve ment," he said. The Tummers were amazed at the extent of the black market activities, particularly in France, and Mr. Tummers states that a tourist can't walk a block with out being accosted by someone who wants to trade in American money or sell black market American cigarettes. These were selling at about $1 a pack, he said. Since the couple operate an inn near Central Point, they were particularly interested in visit ing hotels, cafes and night clubs. At the Club Astoria, in Milan, they were introduced to a num ber of other American travelers, including Errol Flynn, the movie star, and had dinner with the actor. In the good hotels, the food is excellent and service fine, they found, but they were disturbed by the fact that as they sat dining on fine food, beg gars clustered around the doors of the dining room and lined the sidewalks. The travelers picked Rapolla. Italy, as the most delightful spot they visited. Rapolla is a sea coast resort city, about two hours' driving time south of Genoa, and the Tummers were enchanted with the view, the fine hotel and the friendliness of the natives. Mr. Tummers speaks French. German and his native tongue as well as English, and Mrs. Tummers speaks both English' and Italian, so they did not have the language worries which be set the ordinary American tour ist abroad. While the Tummers were in Tilburg, the engagement of Mr. Tummers' sister. Annie, was an nounced. A brother, Hubert, is making arrangements to come to Oregon for an indefinite stay with the couple here. The couple plans to reopen their inn Saturday, the place having been closed during their absence.
