If there is a hotter plate this side of the hereafter than our office In the afternoons, we don’t want to see It. When the sun beats down on the concrete wall all day and then shines in these bii? win dows all afternoon, it sure does make the place fairly warm.

Last year a man we know worked on that job all summer. This year he was told that he would be called for as soon as the work started. But in the meantime he had the intestinal for titude to get out and make his own living and got off the relief rolls So when at last the Blister Rust Job started he was politely informed that only nren on the relief would be hired. And we are told that there are not enough men on relief to fill the quota. He forgot to tell us whether or not he was asked how he was going to vote next year. • • • It you have news Items we will appreciate their receipt by Wednesday evening. Phone <01.

The proposal was accepted with such enthusiasm that $10,000 was subscribed by three of the grow ers present. Those atteuding (ho meeting were Walter H. Leverette, H. K. Deuel, Charles A. Wing, P. M. Kershaw and Max Leddermann of Portland, repre sentative of the Medford Pear Conf- puny. A fund of $1500 in cash wan subscribed to investigate the possi bilities of the proposal from all angles and to study the possibility of securing a federal loan to assist with the building of the cannery. According to Mr. Leverette, the cannery will not be ready in time to care for any of the 1935 crop, but that by next year the entire crop cun be taken care of. The Jackson County Chamber of Commerce has offered 100 per cent cooperation with the project, as have all «rowers contacted who wore not at the meeting. A local banker is ucting In an advisory capacity. There were 14,500 tons of Barl- letts harvested In the valley last year, and the estimate for the pres ent season will exceed this by 500 tons. The canning of these by a local cannery would save the local grow ers thousands of dollars annually, besides adding another industry to the valley which would employ ma ny local people during the season. The cannery would be built pri marily for the canning of Bartletts, but a system would probably be worked out wbereby other products of the farms and gardens would be used. A man will be sent to Portland in the near future to investigate the canning siuation there.
