THE UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM IN MEDFORD
ltftfI)FOIir MAIL TttTBUNE, MEDFORD. OUFjOX, SUNDAY. JUNE 29, 1930.
FLYERS WIN NEW LAURELS
A 1niOl'CII the census of Medford was taken in tlie quiet
period as far as orchard work is concerned, the official
figures show' unemployment here was less lhau 2 per cent of the
population. There were then only 214 men and women out of
work, in a population of over 11,000. A similar percentage ex
isted throughout the county, except in Ashland, where the per
centage was only aliout one and one-half per cent. With orchard
work soon starting, the pcrci'.ntiiKC of unemployment, as far as
the permanent population is concerned, should closely a proach
the vanishing point. '

the
business, as everyone knows, is bad, and when
summer building season is over, further retrenchment
may be carried out. l iider the circumstances, ii seems to us,
highly desirable, that both, city and county officials, should get
ready now, to have as much public work done in the late fall
and winter months as possible.
Such a program might well tide .Medford and Jackson county
over what might otherwise be a very critical period. Private
citizens might also do their community u good service by hav
ing any construction work contemplated done in the winter
months. Labor eosts will be low, materials cheap the time
to build profitably is when labor is plentiful and commodity
prices down.
Medford and Jackson county have been very fortunate thus
far. AVith a little foresight and intelligent planning now, this
good fortune can be continued, jiici'cly by advancing nil con
templated construction work a few months ahead.

Hut yesterday Kussell hawson, aerouautieal governor for
Oregon,, announced that the tour would be conducted in mid

This means there will be a dedication of the Medford air
port this August, under the auspices of the Medford Legion.
The Legion, -with characteristic enterprise and public spirit, will
assume all financial responsibility. The airport and air circus
will be 0M'ii to, the public free of charge. Over 50 visiting air
planes will bo here, there will be stunt planes, as well, and u
general holiday and good lime will be enjoyed.
It is probable the Legion, in order to raise expense money,
will put on some sort of public entertainment, before the circus
arrives. It seems hardly necessary to urgo the people of Med
ford to give this entertainment their enthusiastic and whole
hearted support.
