MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Remember the Stamp House Organ Offers Suggestions On How To Write to Congressman THURSDAY. JANO" RY 10, 1963 mm n visa i mm nut By DICK WEST Washington UPD The cur rent issue of a house organ magazine published by the mmmmmmimmm Humble Oil 1,0. oners some sugges tions on how to write to a member of Congress. This is a timely topic. A new session of Con- 1 gress has start ed so it should not be long before you have a lot to write your congress man about. Not all oil companies are In a position to offer advice on congressional correspon dence. Several years ago, you may recall, one company wrote a letter that was cred ited with killing a natural gas bill favored by the indus try. I think we may assume, however, that Humble is fully qualified in this field. It divides its suggestions in to "do's" and "don'ts," and I would imagine it has had quite a bit of experience composing letters of the "don't" variety. "Don't repeal the depletion allowance" has been the theme of many an oil com pany message to Congress. As befits a company bear ing its name, Humble advises against taking a pretentious approach in corresponding with a congressman. "Don't pretend to represent more political influence than you have," it says. I interpret this to mean that you shouldn't threaten a con gressman with defeat in the next election unless you are eligible to vole. Humble also recommends thai you "communicate with your senator or repre sentative on issues while there is still time for him to take effective action." In other words, don't wait until after Congress has adjourned. Humble feels that a "thoughtful" letter from an individual constituent is more "meaningful" than a sheaf of identical telegrams or postcards" sent by press ure groups. I believe this is true, par ticularly if the individual constituent encloses a cam paign contribution, which is the most meaningful form of thoughtfulness there is. . Anyone who wants to be come a pen pal with his con gressman should benefit from Humble's suggestions, but it seems to me the company omitted the most important thing of all. It is: stamp.

Liquor Prices Up Effective Feb. 1 Portland -flJPD- The Oregon Liquor Control Commission announced Wednesday that hard liquor will cost an addi tional 15 cents a fifth and 10 cents a pint effective Feb. 1. The announcement was made at a commission meet ing. The increase, which will not affect wines, is expected to add $3 million to the state's general fund during the 1963 65 biennium. Ted Turner of Portland, a representative of the Oregon Non-Profit Organizations, ap peared at the meeting 'to pro test the action. He said the commission arbitrarily was raising liquor prices without legislative action. AT MEETING Howard Pierce, left, Ashland, Jackson county American Cancer Society crusade chairman, is shown with Ralph Edwards, radio and television star and national crusade chairman, at a recent meeting of Cancer Society representatives from 11 western states in Portland. Valley Residents Attend Meeting of Cancer Society The American Cancer So ciety held its National Cru sade meeting for the western 11 states in Portland recently at which time it was an nounced that radio and tele vision star Ralph Edwards has accepted chairmanship of the 1963 National Crusade. In the volunteer position, he will lead the Society's educa tional and fund-raising Cru sade next April, which con sists of more than 2,000,000 volunteers who distri b u t e literature on cancer's seven danger signals to every home and business in the United States. "This year about 815,000 Americans will be under medical care for cancer," Ed wards said. "Due to early diagnosis and prompt treat ment about 177,000 of this number will be saved and it is the goal of the volunteers to advance this number to one out of two instead of the pres ent one out of three." The Oregon Division 1063 Crusade chairman will be Dr. Orval Eaton, Medford, and Howard Pierce, Ashland, will be Jackson county chairman.

Prisoner Ransom Airlifted To Cuba Miami, Fla.-lUPIl-The United States flew $300,000 worth of Cuban prisoner ransom sup plies to Fidpl Castro Wednes day, the first since 1,113 Bay of Pigs prisoners arrived here at Christmastime. A chartered Red Cross DC6B flew to Havana with 15,600 pounds of dental, medical and other supplies, and returned to Miami empty. Enso Bighinatlc, assistant national director for disasters for the Red Cross, earlier had denied reports that the 109 seat passenger plane would bring back the first of some 250 Cuban-Americans waiting to get off the island. "That was the first plane available today," he said, "so we took it." Another air shipment is scheduled to leave here for Havana Friday. mm w 1 n : . j iraif 'Mr 1 7 g GUARANTEE UVL, r'i g Free replacement QJiatggJ i 1 upon return of any jgg w . j m s- narmony no use ? w -wv .i" plate glass mirror A Sj' 1 4 it that shows silver- Ij 1j W g I ing detects within Si 11 , Ij i v 10 years of sale.
