'Printing Error' Used As Sales Promotion An alleged printing error has been used as a sales pro motional by a New York state firm, according to the Better Business bureau, with which the Medford Chamber of Commerce is affiliated. The Portland bureau has received several telephone calls from firms which have received letters, in which "Advertising Gifts of Distinc tion," a division of the Union Pencil company, Yonkers, N.Y., states that it has rec ently received an order for pencils from a firm similar in name to that of the recipient, that it pulled the recipient's name and address from the files in error and ran an or der of several hundred print ed pencils. The mail piece continues by stating that although the error was its own, the pencils are available for four cents each, plus a premium of a free watch, according to the release from the Portland bureau. Local Men Named To Group's Board Two Medford men, Clint C. Neely of the Neely-Nelson Lumber company, and Ernie Wilson, Wickers Lumber com pany, have been named to the board of directors for the Western Lumber Marketing association. They were elected during a recent annual convention in Portland when Hershal M. Tanzer, Portland, lumberman, was elected president. The organization, organized two and one-half years ago, is made up of sawmill owners and lumber wholesalers of Oregon, Washington, Cali fornia, Montana, Idaho; Brit ish Columbia and Alberta, Canada. Phoenix Kindergarten To Close for Holiday Phoenix The Phoenix kindergarten, located in the Phoenix Community building, will close for the Christmas holidays Friday, Dec. 21, ac cording to Miss Mabel Moore, teacher. The children will hold a Christmas hour before the kindergarten closes, Miss Moore said. School will re open Wednesday, Jan. 2. MEDFORD Investigation by the New York Better Business bureau revealed that the pencils al legedly printed in error have not been printed, and upon receipt of an order, it will be filled and the printing done for the first time, the bulletin continues. In other words the entire practice was merely a deceptive "gim mick" to obtain sales, the BBB explained. At the time the bulletin from Portland was going to press, information from the New York BBB advised that counsel for the Union Pencil Company Inc., had assured them that the practice had been discontinued. Suggestions Made For Holiday Calls Looking ahead to the an nual surge of long distance calls on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, Pacific North west Bell's Medford manager, J. H. Creager, has offered some suggestions to follow. They include: Consider calling Satur day evening or Sunday the lower rates start at 6 p.m. and continue all day Sunday. If possible, avoid peak hours, 6 to 8 p.m. Christmas Eve and 2 to 4 p.m. Christmas Day. Dial long distance calls directly when possible, in structions are in the front of the telephone book. Call station to station rather than person to person. Call by number in any case, including the area code for calls to points outside Oregon. Voice paths to America's smaller towns or rural com munities are the ones most likely to become clogged by holiday calls. Early calls to these points can almost al ways be completed immedi ately. Nearly iwice the normal force of operators will be on duty throughout Oregon and extra long distance circuits will be used to help meet the rush, Creager said.

Some Government 'Plums' Exempted From Competition of Civil Service By DICK WEST Washington -IUPH- The ques tion of which federal jobs should be under Civil Service and which should be filled by other means, such as pa tronage, is al ways a deli cate one. I haven't talked with an average politician re cently, but past observa- ivmi tion leads me to believe that his views on this subject can be summar ized somewhat as follows: -He favors a strong merit system while recognizing the need for additional patronage positions. -He particularly favors a strong merit system when the other party is in power, and he can better recognize the need for additional patronage positions when his own parly is in control. What I'm leading up lo here is that the Civil Service Com mission has just published a revised list of (he jobs, or if you prefer a fruitier expres-1 sion, the "plums" that are ex-; empted from the competitive, service. Unfortunately. In com mission did not indicata which, if any, of lh posi lioni are vacant at in mo- : ment. But I thought it might be helpful if I mentioned a few of them, just lo show how the wind it blowing. Employees who may be hired without a Civil Service examination include: -Chinese, Japanese and, Hindu interpreters. I can't ! imagine why they were ex empted unless it's because ! there is nobody on the com-1 mission who could grade their j papers. -Coast Guard lamplighters, j -Two schoolteachers at Chi-1 chi Jima in the Bnnin-Vol-cano Islands. I don't know anything about the curricu lum there but it sounds like a good place to go to study j lamplighting.
