Meet Tonight, 8 P.M. Open Palms Always Are With Us... Last winter Jackson county—and every other county in the nation—spent thous ands of dollars for relief. Earl Fehl estab lished a commissary and handed out groc eries till he nearly bankrupted the county. It is fine to feed the hungry and clothe the needy. But it is far from fine or sensible to cultivate a colony of leeches who have so little self-respect they would rather beg than earn. Last winter many men who were willing and anxious to work were unable to find employment. But this year—right now— any man who wants to earn a few dollars can do so. Eruitmen and other employers are unable to find sufficient workmen for the jobs that need performing. Of dozens standing idle about pool halls, seldom can a rancher recruit more than three or four. They don’t want to work when they have full tummies. Either the pay is too low, the work too hard, or they have some physical “disability” which, more often than not, is pure laziness. Even if Jackson county had the money and could well afford to, feeding promis- cously this coming winter still would not be advisable. We all know how dogs and cats get to hanging around when we throw meat scraps out for them. Last winter, after feeding thousands of people, those receiving the most aid turned out to be the same ones who most severely condemned law and order and who flocked to “good government” congress meetings. Altruism may be a fine thing, but why be so gullible as to permit the county govern ment to provide easy food and raiment for that government’s greatest enemies? We are not speaking of the worthy poor —those crippled, disabled or dependent ones who must be cared for. We mean that increasing crop of shifting, griping, com plaining ne’er-do-wells who turn down work in the summer because the pay is “too little” but who yowl all winter that “a man and his family have to eat.” A man can’t continue to chisel off un suspecting or tender-hearted county relief agencies and have any self-respect. And a man who can’t respect himself can’t respect government or law and order. Last year’s fashion of feeding all comers has served its purpose. Jackson county should—and probably will—clamp down this winter on all relief to able-bodied men and women who have been incubated to look to the county to do things they should be busy doing for themselves now.

During the past couple weeks the rumor has been flying around Medford that Fox Ever green theaters is to exercise an option on the leasing of the Holly theater. Fox Evergreen is supposed to be 60 per cent Fox West Coast theaters, and oper ated by a certain Mr. Finkel stein, a Mr. Rosenberg and a Mr. Newman. This makes a rather peculiar setup with the well-known home owned, home operated theater which made such a howl against this corporation a few months ago, now becoming its bedfel- low. Wasn’t it also this theater that went so far as to try get- ting a resolution passed by the Medford Chamber of Commerce condemning the business meth ods and ethics of Fox West Coast? Seems as though we’ve heard about that somewhere or other. And wasn't it this same theater that caused a silent boy cott against the "chain thea ters)” and also made public charges about their buying up of all the pictures? And now this same theater, “home owned and home operated,” with its marquee still reading “tempo rarily closed due to inability to secure pictures," leases the house to the Fox interests. Ho- hum, this certainly Is a funny world! Something that will be welcomed by many a southern Oregonian as a real "Sahara dream” is coming to Jacksonville's Saturday night dances in the old U. 8. hotel— free beer, all customers can drink!
