It in believed that tlie clij'y may be of tjUEillly -rci'iillred to fai-ed brick. Tests uro .to be1 n)ade Home time ago we mentioned the. fact that among the Interests of the November election in 1930 will be the election of n county commissioner. George Alford, who tin been county commissioner fur some yearsP-will complete his .term of office, and as the other two members of the county court come from other sections of Jackson county the natural thing Is for the candidates to bo selected from this section of the county. : The Dally Tidings several days ago mention ed Ralph Billings, mom in e n t ninchcr, who has serVed on the county budget committee and who Is quite familiar with the county work, as the logical candldato to be named on the Republican ticket at the primary which will bo held next Way. , Since that time we have discussed the candidacy of Mr. Billings with the major por tion of tho G. O. P. central com mitteemen from this section of the county nnd find that Mr. Billings will be given every support as there is a feeling ho Is especially well qualified for, the position. Mr. Hillings when consulted about the matter said that If there was a demand among his friendft'fbr his services ho would be glad to serve. In selecting a county commis sioner it Is well to consider some Important requirements. A man who can work in harmony with other members of the county court a man who can represent not only his own district, but who can Impartially represent the entire county ami at the same time be keenly alive to -the needs of the, section from which he comes thru his dally contact with that section. Is the man who will ideally fill the position. ' Knowing Ralph Billings and knowing that he has conducted his own business successfully, knowing him as a man who has good judg-. inent and who can work harmoni ously and yet effectively with oth ers, we feel that ho is hdoally qualified to fill the position of county commissioner. - With' theso facts In mind wo hope that Mr. -Billings', will soon seo his way' clenr to formally an nounce his candidacy, knowing It will bo backed by a large number of his friends aHwetl ns those who are Identified with the county Re publican torganijeatiom .

' .. ... . - - r:" - -J! j'g MAYOR POINTS PARENTS DUTY UNDER CURFEW Medford Pharmacy "The Reliable Store" 'DuiIiik the vacation period In Medford and prior to the opcnlnK of the schools there were frequent comments and some complaints about the children ten, twelve and fifteen years of ace loltcrlnR about the streets after tho curfew hour. This' practice hurt continued since the school year opened and lifts Krown worse Instead of better, nnd our police department has been onalile to cope with this condition by use uf mild means, und com plaints are moro frequent now than during the summer months. It Is n rcKiettiible mutter that parents will permit this condition i.t any season, und wholly unimr donabic during the school year. Such delliniuency upon the part of parents or guardian is unconi;. plltncntary to the high class of cltlisenry of which .Medford boasts. 'A receht survey or 'the situation has revealed the astounding fact that boys under the ugo of fifteen and even under the ago of ten yilars' congregate Ih huge numbers about the armory on tho nights when ' tmxing bouts have been ritiged and stormed the do.Ms and windows for admittance. ' ' ',' At 'the ri'gutnr meklng' iif tho i lly council on last Tuesday night ! Ibis problem was thoroly consid ered and It was the unanimous derlolbn of tho council that this condition must cense Immediately. We tiuestlon the wisdom of fcven permitting the presence of boys of the ngofl Above mentioned nt box ing or wrestling bouts, nnd they certainly will hot be permitted to attend unehaperoned. In sumo of our larger cities ordinances have been enacted Imposing it fine upon Ihe purojit who permits his son or daughter to loiter Upon the streets after 'th curfew hour. We hope (hat this will not be neeessnry in .Mr-oford. ' ' Th rurfew will ring at p. m. In the future nnd hoys art (J girls under the. nge of fifteen yeurs who are found upon the streets Without chaperon will be taken Into cus tody by the pollre. We appeitl til the parent of .Medford for their co-operation In correcting this night loitering of children tn the end that embarrassment for chil dren nnd parents may be avoided. A. W.
