Defendant was convicted of illegal possession of marihuana. ORS 474.020. He appeals, asserting error first in the admission of certain items of evidence and, upon the assumption these were inadmissible, the insufficiency of the evidence to support the verdict.

The vehicle was badly damaged and appeared to have rolled over thoroughly scrambling its contents and scattering portions of it in the vicinity.

In the Ihler purse in the vehicle were found:

Ihler 6-6-70” in the blank for “release by registered owner.” It also bore in the space provided for “purchaser name” the name in ink “Jerry Wikum.” Other evidence established that Kathleen Ihler was the daughter of James *408 M. Ihler. No contention is made that he was in the vehicle.

b) A receipt:
