All residents of southern Oregon are urged to take an active interest In cleaning up and beautifying the highway before the tourist season opens. With the hundreds of con ventions and the Olympic games scheduled to take place on the Pa cific coast this summer, a record breaking tourist travel is assured, affording an unusual opportunity to attract thousands of eastern vis itors to southern Oregon. People llv. lng along the highway are In an ex-' ceptlonally good position to display their homes and ranches to prospec tive purchasers and many of them are already making their property as attractive as possible. In this connection the following letter was recently distributed by the Jackson committee of the Samuel Hill contest. "To property owners and tenants along the Pacific highway In Jack son county: "You are no doubt aware of the fact that 1932 will be an outstanding year on the Pacific coast. We have more conventions on the Pacific coast this year of a national and international nature than have been staged In many years, and It Is un likely that those alive today will see the same number of outstanding activities again. These will draw people t a'om all parts of the world. "We have on the Pacific coast many marvelous outstanding attrac tions. We have our generous sup ply of wild life, our beautiful wooded hills, our streams which abound with fish, our natural wonders and our huge national forests, and national parks. "We who live along the Pacific Highway must realize that It is one of the longest stretches of paved highway in the United States. A solid link of pavement connects the Canadian border with the Mexican line. We feel, and rightly so, that we should be proud to live In this region and that our property adjoins this wonderful highway. "In view of the facta brought out In the preceding paragraphs, we are sure you will agree that any effort to make the property along this highway more attractive will en hance the value of such property. Naturally we are all Interested hi making a favorable Impression on those people who are visiting our state, as some may quite possibly become future residents. "A concerted effort is being made to clean up the Pacific highway In order to present the most favorable appearance possible. An organisation has been formed in each county along the Pacific highway, which Is sponsored by the Memorial High way association created In memory of the late Samuel Hill, who was a great power for progress through out the northwest. You will be called upon by members pf these committees and perhaps asked to serve on them. "We bespeak your earnest co-operation In this effort and we feel that by so co-operating we will all reap the golden harvest which exists In the favorable publicity given to the section of country generally termed the Rogue River valley. In this contest we should like to feel that Jackson county Is outstanding In Its efforts toward cleaning up and Improving the appearance of our highway.

Before the house ways and means committee, Janney endorsed the tes timony given steal nat the bonus pay ments by Eugene Meyer, governor of j tne reaerai reserve Doara. "Whether or not the veterans are worthy of this help," Janney said, "and whether or not congress wants to extend this help, congress cannot do this thing." He was testifying against the' Pat man bill to issue new currency to redeem the bonus certificates due In 1045. "If we issue these notes," Janney continued, "we will agree to pay the bearer on demand (3,000,000,000 In gold. There would be this much ad ditional demand on the gold we have." Janney said the 40 per cent gold reserve requirement was a minimum which could not be approached at times when gold prices were highly fluctuating. "In times of distress such as the present, that reserve must be main tained at a higher rate for safety's sake, he said. Psychologist o Lecture Here On Finding Success , i A series of sevn Inspirational I lectures Is to be opened to the pub- ( lie Wednesday evening of this week in St. Mark's Guild Hall by Veronal Hull, widely known psychologist and ! popular lecturer. The subject of the j lecture Wednesday evening will be j "The Power of Attraction." Miss Hull Is an exponent of the ! theory that the power of success i lies within your mind and person ality, and not In any power outside of yourself. She claims that It Is not lack of opportunity that makes people f nil, but the inability of peo ple to recognize opportunity when they come to It. She points out that the necessary thing to do la to think to use one's mind since all success, In fact everything In life, comes out of Ideas from someone's mind. Miss Hull believes that the cure for the present business con dition la a psychological one and lies In the mental attitude of the Individual and the community. In addition to the public lectures which are free to the public, Miss Hull will conduct a number of talks before local civic organizations, and I will give dally radio talks over KMED at 9:30 a.m. Following the ' - " jit Jir u t i - vital question so much avoided by other cigarettes?
