LILENQUIST MOTOR COMPANY Washington U.F0 I got a pleasant surprise package in the mail this morning, a crystal radio set 1 That carried me back to the early 1320's when it was good sport for small boys to make their own radios. For almost nothin.g you could get some wire and wind it around .an Harmaa Hicnou oatmeal box, ground it, aerial it ear-phone it and have yourself a radio set. I was a little awkward at wire-winding, but a buddy of mine in Farmer City, 111., patched one up. I'll never forget the thrill we had when we jiggered the wire finger to the crystal and caught an old-time band called the Kansas City Night- hawks, masterminded by a cou ple of boys named Carlton Coon and Joe Sanders. too Oregon Cited for Pedestrian Safety Salem U.R) Gov. Paul Pat terson today held a special cita tion given the state of Oregon in the 14th national industrial protection contest. Patterson received the award from former Gov. Charles A. Sprague, representing the Ameri can Automobile Association and the Oregon State Motor Associa tion. Oregon's citation resulted from the reduction in the number of pedestrian deaths in traffic acci dents from 89 in 1951 to 81 in 1952. The citation also was a reward for the excellence of the record made by the state traffic safety division, headed by Capt Walter Lansing and the work done in the division by James R. Banks, assistant director in charge of the pedestrian protec tion program. Joe Poggi Held As Burglary Suspect Salem U.R) Joe Poggi, the man recently released from Ore gon state penitentiary after serv ing nearly 20 years illegally, was back in jail today. He was arrested after he was seen leaving the Cottage street grocery store here about 10:25 p.m. yesterday by the owner, po lice said. Police booked Poggi on a burglary charge. Nothing was reported stolen from the store. Poggi was released from the penitentiary recently after Mar ion county Circuit Court ruled he had been sentenced illegally as a habitual criminal But who would think that 50,- 000 of these delicate little sets are sold each year, and that more than a quarter of a million crystal sets now are in use throughout the world. . The package I got was by courtesy of WRC, the Washing ton outlet for NBC. WRC is cele brating the beginning of its 31st year on the air. To think that there still is a demand for. these little sets is remarkable in these days of tele vision, the multiple "D" per formances, and color TV. Good Demand WRC quotes the Philmore Manufacturing Company as say ing that the demand for crystal sets is greater than ever before. Only two outfits still make the sets. Who buys them and why? They are much in use in the rural areas of the United States which still have no electricity and where people can't afford a battery set ' The . crystals also are used : among the workers in the cot ton field camps in the South. Patients in hospitals finds them nanay after . lights out Boy Scouts are among the huvm nt the sets, too, and use them to provide entertainment on camp ing and field trips. Our government is rmnrtMi buy large quantities of the sets to drop behind the iron curtain ror propoganda purposes. .ME nsnmc at its best. . m &Kt taiyuk eter loaiel-27S pounds oftUtxrbUe btoMtjl That' Ukingatti$beUlm Whiskey stits Bouthoh Whiskey .... niijj-fflii '27,., isswr- fiomKsnfvel J 45 Qt.
