Letter Racket
Probed in
San Francisco U.R) Ptostal
inspectors today were woriking
at breaking up a chain letter
racket that offers a trip to Uru
guay for $1 but profits; its
sponsors 390,625.
J. H. Van Mete, assistant post

Montevideo. ,
San Francisco residents have
been getting airmail letters from
there reading:
"Uruguay, South Amerfican
Riviera is awaiting you . . . this
most wonderful trip is all gicurs
for just $1." i
The letter tells the receiwr to
mail a check for $5 to the com
pany and sell four accompany

friends who go through the-,same
process. 1
"When the process is .com
pleted seven times," says, the
letter, "your coupon is automat
ically worth a free round-tinp to
Uruguay." r
Meanwhile sponsors of the
chain letter would have received
replies from 78,125 persons' and
collected $390,625.
TABLE ROCK
Many Cattle Wintering Here
By R. E. NEALON
Table Rock In checking over
the different feed lots and pas
tures in this district, we find that
there are between 1,800 and
2,000 cattle, counting calves,
being wintered here. This is
causing quite a drain on hay
stacks and ensilage silos. It is an
all time high, almost double the
usual number. Although some
come from other parts of the
valley, most of them belong
here. The number of cattle in
Jackson county may have some
bearing on local prices which
have been showing a downward
trend for some time.

Darling says they are getting
along fine so far. They start

Lot of Steel Needed To Be Potato Grower
New York (U.R) It takes
more than know-how and nerves
of steel to be a potato grower
it takes a lot of steel.
To keep Americans eating
more potatoes than any other
vegetable, almost all -phases of
potato output have become me
chanized in Aroostock County,
Me., which produces 90 per cent
of the crop that has made Maine
potatoes famous.
Steelways, publication of
1 American Iron and Steel Insti
tute, says the extent to which
Maine potato farmers rely on
steel is reflected in two statis
tics. There were 672 pieces of
major steel farm equipment for
every 100 potato farms, each av
eraging 24 acres, in 1951; the
latest year for which figures
were available. In that same year
each acre averaged 445 bushels,
as contrasted with 270 bushels
annually harvested between
1930 and 1934.
From helicopters, for spray
ing, to harvesters, for digging
potatoes with human-like pre
cision, the uses to which steel is
put in the potato industry have a
direct bearing on the way spuds
reach the consumer.
Annual per'capita potato con
sumption has declined from 179
pounds to 104 pounds in less
than two generations. Because of
competition from other vege
tables and other potato raising
areas, the Maine grower is using
steel to assist in grading, clean
ing and packaging his product
more attractively.

Grenoble, France '(U-R)
American tourists lpassin
through this part of sojuthern
France are often stumped -by the
sight of beautiful leather .gloves
nailed to front doors of hdnuses
To the French the gloe is a
birth announcement: onej glove
means the house has been tylessed
with a baby. A pair signifies
twins. Three gloves call for a
town celebration.
Leather gloves are natural
symbols of joy here and ih other'
towns whose handiwork and
traditions go back 700- years.
They are as much a part of the
legal and social life of tlais part
of France as they are a source of
livelihood for this comiminity.
Among Grenoble's otfceer cus
toms is the tradition of present
ing a glove to a land buyer as a
symbol of good faith. When a
young Frenchman gives a pair of
red leather gloves to his sweet
heart, he is proposing marriage,
just as in the days of Naspoleon.

US'. Savings
Bondcl
In this great State of Oregon, with its brilliant future, folks today seem to
give more-than-average attention to making their tomorrows brighter. Our
state ranks high in the number of people who regularly purchase United
States Savings Bonds, on both Payroll Savings and Bond-a-Month Plans.
Likewise, when Christmas approaches and people everywhere set out to
shop for family and friends, Oregonians are quick to see the many advan
tages of giving U. S. Savings Bonds as Christmas presents. They know how
easy a Savings Bond is to give no sizes or colors to worry about! And
they know how wonderful a Savings Bond is to receive because it becomes
more valuable as time goes on.
U. S. Savings Bonds earn interest at an average of 3 per year,
compounded semi-annually, when held to maturity. Further
more, they can go on earning interest for as long as 19 years
and 8 months, giving back 80 more than you put in.
This year, join your housands of Oregon friends and neighbors who give
the gift that grows with the years a constant reminder of your thought
fulness, and a symbol of his or her faith in the future.
