FAIR GROUND LAKE
LAN FEASIBLE, IS
OPINION OF I. X
Mr, X, the man of a thousand
trades, who officially finishes his ac
tivities in MMford this evening, does
not confine all his work to fixing
things.
He wss taken for a ride (not in
the Chicago fashion) on Monday
afternoon, to view the county fair
grounds, which he understands have
been dormant for many seasons past.
It has been suggested by a group
of cltleens to turn the racetrack into
a lake, where aquatlo aporta, to
gether with a modern swimming pool
and plcnlo grounds could be devel
oped. An Island would be left In the cen
ter of the lake, for the use of the
children, with shade trees and the
usual swings, see-saws and parallel
bara for their enjoyment.
Boathouses could be erected for
storage of small pleasure craft, and
avich things as motorboat racing, sail
ing coiiWsta and rowing matches
held.
The water for flooding the lake la
available without coat to the tax
payers. Mr. X -a of the opinion that It
could be undertaken at a compara
tively smalt cost, furnishing employ
ment for the unfortunate men who
are caught In the net of unemploy
ment, and at the same time convert
a property which Is now unproduc
tive into a well-paying project.
It has been put up to Mr. X to
make a panoramic painting of the
proposed layout which, when com
pleted by him, will be on exhibition
either at the Chamber of Commerce
building or a prominent local store.

"With the largest advance member
ship record of any presidential year
in the history of the American Le
glon, 33.08 per cent of the national
quota for 1933, beginning January 1,
being paid up as of noon, November
17, the Legion In Oregon is looking
forward to a highly successful pro
gram in national efforts to maintain
proper trare for the disabled, to pro
mote child welfare and Garry on the
more than 300 activities of service to
communities throughout the nation,"
says I. O. Oarlock, commander of
Med ford poot.
"State, or department, leaders of
the Legion throughout the country
are enthused," continued Command
er Oarlock, "over the support the
membership showing Indicates In the
Legion's fight against the barrage of
misrepresentation of figures and facts
by 'Nel,' as the Legion calls the Na
tional Economy league, and what the
Legion calls 'NelV stepmother, the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States. The opposition to adequate
care of the disabled is rapidly losing
ground, according to Legion officials,
as statements are analyzed and proven
untrue in many instances, particu
larly when Included In every war
and every pension of every war, as
part of 'veterans cost, misleading the
public to believe such coat Is yet to
be met alone for World war veterans,
"The fact also la becoming gen
erally recognized, the Legion officials
believe, that If the disabled veterans
are thrown back upon their com
munities, the burden of their care
will fall upon the smaller local and
state taxpayers, Instead! of upon the
federal government, and that the re
lief would affect only some 42,000
large Income taxpayers.

Katharine Cornell, in New Type Role
Tests Ability as Classical Actress
By NOEL THOBNTON.
NEW YORK (AP) Although It Is
arousing tempest of controversy.
Hatharlne Cornell has great faith In
her newest drama "Lucrece," which
was Inspired by ehakespeare's poem,
"The Rape of Lucrece."
It la far afield from any role she
ever hss acted and brlnga her at laat
to that threshold the long has been
approaching, the beginning of her ca
reer as a classical actress.
This daughter of a Buffalo, V. T
physician carved out her reputation
as one of the theaters truly great by
playing such neurotic heroines ss
those In "The Green Hat" and "Tne
Letter."
Several years ago she appeared In
a pageant costumed ft Cleopatra, and
managers at that time requested that
she act Shakespesre. But she refused
by saying, "I am not ready."
Now, moving away from hef suc
cessful run as the gentle Elizabeth
Barrett Browning In "The Barretts
of Wlmpole Street." she comes nearer
to a classical role In the Shakespesre
chsrscter.
"I could have played Elizabeth Bar
rett for four years." she says, "but
that meant artistic death for me."
As for her new play, she realizes
that it will cause all manner of urgu
ment among the critics and her pub
lic.
'It Is Inevitable that -Lucrece' will
stir controversy." she admits. "I am
nrenared for that, but to me it is
sucb a beautiful play that nothing
will shake my faith In It.
1 feel -Lucrece- Is a test for my
self. This Is not a sensational ven
ture. To me It Is more than that, i
want to discover If I am worthy of
the classics, whether I have the aou
lty to be a part of a truly noble and
beautiful drama and therefore have
the right to go further and produce
other great claaslcal plays.'
There la a rumor that she win laier
present Shakespeare's "'Anthony and
Cleopatra." She was asked If this
were true.
"I must wait and see If I bave It in
me to act the classics." was her reply.
REFUNDING PLAN
Directors of the Medford Irrigation
District are now preparing a brief
that will i""t forth in detail the bond
re-fundlng plan presented to 100 land
owners and water users at a meeting
held at the courthouse last Saturday.
The plan, tentatively approved by the
bondholders committee, met with
strong support at the Saturday ses
sion, and the work of the district di
rectors was approved by acclamation
when a resolution to that end was
presented by R. L. Ray, and seconded
by J. O. Barnes.
Next step in the matter will be an
election for the district to vote ap
proval of the refunding plan, and for
the bondholders to Impound their
bonds.
According to Olen Arnsplger, gen
eral manager of the district, the plan
offers a solution to the -vexatious
finance problems of the district, and
a reduction of approximately one-half
the present rate, of $8 or $9 per acre,
per annum.
Date for the proposed refund ett'Cs
tlon has not been decided upon.
