Request for Subscription Renewal
Carries 64
By DICK WEST
Washington IUP1I A col
league of mine who keeps an
eve on economic trends has
called my at
tention to a
new manifes
tation of our
a f f 1 uent so
ciety. He has
r e c e i v ed a
piece of "junk
mail carry
lng 64 cents
worth of post
age. In the absence of claims to
the contrary, he thinks this
may be an international rec
ord for wasted stamps.
Asked by me to pinpoint
the circumstances, my friend
reports that an evening or two
ago he found in his mailbox
a notice that the postman has
called during the day with a
registered letter.
Finding no one at home,
the postman returned the mis
sive to the post office where,
the notice advised, it could be
picked up by the addressee.
Early the next morning
my friend drove five miles
io the post office to retrieve
what he assumed was an im
portant communication, like
rr.iybe a government check.
It turned out to be a form
letter from a magazine bear
ing the signature of the circu
lation manager, a man named
Wilson. The letter pointed
out that my friend has neg
lected to renew his subscrip
tion and recommended that he
rectify this error at once.
It even gave instructions on
how to do so. He was told to
write "O. K. Wilson-continue
my subscription-I'm attaching
my check" across the bottom

of the letter and return it in
the enclosed envelope, the
message said.
As previously noted, it cost
the magazine 64 cents to send
the letter. In addition, the en
closed envelope bore a four
cent stamp. Figuring his trav
el expense at 10 cents a mile,
the trip to the post office cost
my friend a dollar.
Thus the solicitation in
volved a joint expenditure
of $1,68, which would pay
for about five and a half
copies of the magazine.
My friend had intended
to let the subscription lapse
quietly, but now he feels an
incumbency to send a reply.
He does not. however, plan

Highway Opened
Packers Meadow, Idaho
IUP1I A two-minute log-sawing

Smylie saw a 30-inch log.
Sen. Albert Gore (D-Tenn.)
and 10 other speakers
sketched the history of the
highway and paid tribute to
those whose efforts made the
road a reality.

Sherri Finkbine
Said Recovering
Stockholm-OIPD-Mrs. Sherri
Finkbine, 30, was out of bed
and being allowed to move
about for prolonged periods
while making a satisfactory
recovery from her legal abor
tion last week end, a medical
source said today.
The Phoenix mother of
four healthy children came
to Sweden to have an abor
tion because she had taken
the drug Thalidomide. Her
husband said after the opera
tion that the fetus was de
formed as his wife feared.
The American woman had
been refused permission for
the abortion in the United
States. She is expected to
leave Stockholm's Caroline
Hospital towards the end of
this week.

MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON
Irrigation Bill
Cleared by House
Washington HIPP The
House passed Monday and
sent to the White House a
bill which would permit
block development in irriga
tion projects, and allow ex
tension of development peri
ods within the 10-year maxi
mum period.
The 10-year period was es
tablished in 1939 to give proj
ect farmers a chance to pre
pare their lands for irriga
tion, establish suitable crops,
and reach reasonably full
farm production before be
ginning to repay their shares
of the total cost.
Recently, a number of irri
gation districts fixed devel
opment periods of less than
10 years. As the deadline ap
proached, farmers in the area
found they were in no posi
tion to begin repaying the
federal government.
The secretary of interior
assured Congress he would
use the extension authority
only after "thorough and ju
dicious consideration."
Block development is need
ed, it was said, so that irriga
tion can be begun in part of
a district without awaiting
completion of the entire dist
rict works.
Defense Work by
Reds Unlawful
Washington - IUPI) - The De
fense department has 3,000
facilities in which it says Com
munists may not lawfully be
employed.
The Pentagon said it acted
under a recent amendment to
the Internal Security Act to
make it unlawful for mem
bers of the Communist party
of the United States to be
employed in designated 'de
fense facilities'."
More than 3,000 such facili
ties have been designated so
far and more will follow. The
Defense department said that
the list of such facilities was
secret.
Under the Internal Security
Act it is illegal for a member
of a Communist-action organi
zation to be employed in a
defense facility. A member of
such an organization must dis
close his membership in seek
ing employment in such a
facility.
Violators face a maximum
penalty of five years in prison
and a $10,000 fine.
Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF
A USED-CAR dealer's face fell when he saw a customer
upon whom he had unloaded a disreputable old heap
the previous day come driving back into his yard. "What's
the matter?" asked the
dealer. "Surely there is
nothing wrong with this
magnificent car?"
"Not yet," admitted
the purchaser grimly,
"but I just wanted to re
turn a few articles for
the dear old lady you
said had driven it only
two hundred miles be
fore I bought it. She left
this plug of tobacco and
bottle of gin in the glove
compartment and this
sawed-off shotgun under
the front seat."
Doctor Sells-, author of the immortal "The Cat in the Hal"
(in private life, Dr. Seuss is Theodor Gelsel, of La, Jolla, Calif.),
received the following testimonial from one of his young readers:
"Dear Doctor Seuss: I hope you are feeling well and will write
lots and lots more books bo that pretty soon every book in the
whole library will be by you. (Signed) Bind F. Perkins, age 8."
Art Linkletter is rarely stumped by the moppets he confronts
on radio every day, but an 8-year-old lad stopped him cold re
cently. Linkletter asked him if he knew the difference between
a Governor and a Mayor. "Sure," answered the lad. "One's a
he-horse and the other's a she-horse."

Motorists
Highway,
Three representatives of
the Jackson County Motor
Court association discovered
last week that motorists are
being told in Weed and Mt.
Shasta. Calif., to take Hign-
way 97 instead of Highway
99.
Max Weston, president of
the association, said he and
two other association mem
bers went to northern Calif
ornia recently to confirm ru
mors that tourists were being
advised against using High
way 99.
Visitors had reported that
service station attendants in
northern California had rec
ommended taking Highway 97
through Klamath Falls.
After talking with attend
ants at seven stations in Weed
and six in Mt. Shasta, Weston
said most of the people inter
viewed were recommending
the route that, by-passes Med
ford and the Rogue valley.
Claim Route Shorter
All but one filling station
in Weed," according to Wes
ton, were telling motorists to
take Highway 97 for "various
reasons.'' The attendants
claim the other route is short
er, faster, prettier and that it
has fewer small towns and
the mountains are less ex
treme. Only one person was recom
mending Highway 99 because
it offered more freeway trav
el, Weston said.
Weston said two large bill
boards have been erected in
the area suggesting that tour

About Same Length
It was pointed out that the
routes arc about the same
length. The average number
of cars using Highway 9!) is
2.500 a day, according to Wes
ton, while an average of 2,000
use Highway 97 daily.
It was pointed out that
something should be done so
tourists are not mistakenly
directed away from the Rogue
Valley on false recommenda
tions. Weston said the Ash

was discussing the situation
and was expected to send let
ters to the service stations in
northern California. The
