All Residents Asked to Join
in Cleanup and Beatifi
cation Program Many
Tourists Are Coming
Plans for the beautlflcatlon of the
Pacific highway are making splendid
progress throughout the state and It
Is hoped that Jackson county will
be one of the leaders In the Samuel
Hill contest, which takes place this
month.
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.
"If any questions arise, which It

WASHINGTON, May 3 P) John
Januey, chairman of the executive
board or the American Society of
Practical Economists, today opposed a
3,000 ,000.000 new-money Issue to
cash the soldiers' bonus.
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

EVER since Lucky Strike created that special

the industry has been in an uproar. For Lucky

You may have noticed a striking avoidance
