OLD AGE PENSION STAND EXPLAINED I Application Blanks Ready December 20 Failure of Legislature to Provide Funds Precludes Payment The county court today Issued a statement explaining the poeltlon of Jackson county In regard to the old age pension law, scheduled to be come effective January 1. The statement points out that "because of emergency expenditures for this county the past year" no more than f5000 can be levied un der the 8 per cent limitation law. Tax delinquencies and the "distress ed financial condition of the county" are' also cited. It Is also explained that Vie legis lature, neither at Ita regular session, or the recent special session, provid ed means for the pension fund. The special session house passed a bill to provide a fund but It wss killed In the senate last Saturday night. Senator Dunn of Ashland worked for the passage of the bill. Blanks Ready December 20 Pension application blanks will be ready for distribution December 30. The statement In full, as signed by County Judge Earl B. Day and Com missioners Ralph B. Billings and R. X. Nealon, Is as follows: "To the Public: "We have promised many people who are eligible for the old age pen sion under the present law that an nouncement would be made through the press when the blanks would be ready for distribution. This law. which was forced through the last session of the legislature by politi cal pressure, has created a situation that Is very serious Indeed. Alt of the counties of the state are in a very distressful financial condition. due to the delinquencies in tax pay ments, and most of them are abso lutely unable to levy for this pur pose on account of the 6 per cent constitutional limitation. "The legislative committee of the Association of County Judges and Commissioners asked the special ses slon of the legislature to either defer the date when the present law be came effective or else pass an act whloA would make It a state func tion and provide funds for that pur pose. Because of the fact that many thousands of people In the state who are over 70 years of age have been led to believe that some pension money would be provided by Janu ary, 1934, we endorsed a bill which would have provided funds for this purpose and would have been col lected by the state Industrial acci dent commission. The house of representatives ap proved the measure and Senator Dunn or this county aid everytmng that he could possibly do to get the matter properly adjusted, but the senate voted It down. As the matter now stands, the state legislature has passed the old age pension act, but so far has failed to provide any funds for payment. "This county will provide the ap plication blanks as required by law and they will be available by Decem ber 30. Because of emergency ex penditures for this oounty, we find that we cannot levy more than S5000 because of the above mentioned con stitutional 8 per cent limitation. In order that the many worthy oltlrena of this county who may be expect ing aid from Oils source may know the truth, we wish to state that when this small fund Is pro rated among all those wAo are eligible, there will be a very small amount for each party.' FOUND SLAIN NEAR TEMPLE (Continued from page one) trudlng from a lock, but the door had not been unlocked.

Jokestera are quoting President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia as saying, apropos of his college pro fessors going Into public service: "The university's Ices la the nation's loss, also." OF, BASEBALL FAME VISITS MEDFORD "Nothing less than a thrower of the Iron ball" little Owney Patton, Medford's leading Irishman of the all-Amertcan game, sized up the fel low who entered the parking lot, where he holds forth on North Cen tral, yesterday. "He was ta'l." Owney explained today, 'and powerful. A discussion with his wife failed to reveal his profession. But when the man returned from buying he asked Owney what be used to do for a living, and anyone who knows Owney knows the answer was "base ball.' The big man then Introduced .himself aa John Minus, former pitch er for PI ttsburgh , New York a nd Chicago, the guy who lost the world series for Pittsburgh with one wild pitch. A grand review of baseball fol lowed the introduction. It went back to the daya of Connie Mack and Griffith McGraw and the rest of the fellows with whom Owney played In the east before he ended up his baseball career In Victoria, B. C-. In 1906. Speaking further of the great big man today, with whom he had such an all-around good time yesterday. Owney added: "I've seen bigger ones than he Is in the game, and I never was afraid of 'em. But I didn't take .him for a baseball player when the man entered the lot." FEDERAL AGENT TELLS AIMS OF RELIEF SET-UP Carl r. Caulfleld of Portland, field supsrvls or of the national re-employment service, was In Medford to day and cleared up many doubtful points In the matter of local re-employment under his Jurisdiction the rules, regulations and purposes. No one will be given work In this service, he explained, unless (1) ha Is a resident of Jackson county, (3) he la a United States citizen, 3) he is unemployed at the time of regis tration. "We have found that some men have given up steady Jobs because they like the higher wages of this federal setup," said Mr. Caulfleld. "These men will be discharged. If further investigation reveals any on our rolls who were employed at the time of registration they will be dis charged. Only those without Jobs will be employed by the government In this service. 'The main purpose of the service la to give the unemployed In each locality work at a living wagethus taking them off the local relief rolls and also prevent the exodus of un employed and the increase In the transient floating labor class. We don't want Idle men from other parts of the country coming to Jack son county. We don't want Jackson county unemployed going elsewhere, we want to keep theldle at home and put them to work at home. "Another thing: This federal serv isnt essentially relief work any more. We did take 60 per cent of our men from the county relief . rolls, but we will take no more, here or In any other part of the state. The dead line on that has been drawn. The matter la now entirely under the fed eral re-employment service. Although naturally this does not exclude- ap pllcants who have been on county re lief rolls. "Finally, everyone In our service la expected to do a good Job. Just as good as if ha were working for any private contractor. The government expects service, and those who are either Incompetent or chronic loafers will be discharged. The government give good Jobs and good pay, and the men who are employed must render the service paid for." Mr. Caulfleld, w,ho arrived yester day to spend the day looking over the local field, leaves tonight for Klamath Palls.

Distinctive new appearance . . . Many other features IMor. Miles Per Gallon More Power, Speed and Efficiency with Dual Carburetion Greater Oil Economy The performance and economy of the 1933 Ford V-8 hive been the talk of thousands of motorists. Owners said: "Leave it alone, don't change it." Deal, era saidi "Impossible to improve it!" But we have improved it In every di rection. We started with the engine.. The Ford V-8 for 1934 is more power ful, more efficient, easier to start in cold weather, yet it is the most economic!-' Ford to operate ever built largely because of the new Dual Carburetor and Dual Intake Manifold. Even in the coldest weather the V-8 engine warms up quickly and maintains an efficient operating temperature because of new thermostats in the waterline. Added engine refinements get the details about all of them from the neai. est Ford dealer reduce oil coniump. tion and further reduce operating and maintenance costs. 2 Clear-vision Ventilation nd the Windshield Opens There's nothing to obstruct the view in the new Ford system of Clear-vision Put It to the Test Ride in this New Ford V-8 for 1934 and 6nd out peraonslty whst it csn do. It is the one sure wsy to find out which csr gives you the most for yo-r money. Ventilation. It's built-in simplicity Itself. The same handle that raises the window glass also slides it back horizon tally to the ventilating position, and then the forward motion of the car draws the air out of the body. Drafts are eliminated, passenger comfort is as sured, and windshield will not fog in cold weather. Another interesting fea ture of the Ford system the wind shield can be opened! This, and the cowl ventilator, provide the additional air needed for hot-weather comfort. O Greater Beauty New Radiator Shell and Grille Fenders In Color A car to be proud of, the Ford V-8 for 1934 has newly designed chromium, plated radiator shell and grille, and other distinctive features. Interiors arc more attractive, with new tufted upholstery, new mouldings, new cove type headlining, new instrument panel, new arm rests and new hardware. Swivel type sun visors in De Luxe bodies prevent glare from front or side. Fenders on all De Luxe cars are in color to harmonize with body colors. New enamel finish on all bodies and fenders has greater wearing quality and more enduring luster. A Transversa Springs Comfort with " Stability and Safety Ford transverse springs provide the ut most stability and safety. Placed cross wise, they tend to orevent the body from tilting on uneven roads, and turns can be taken safely at relatively high speeds. Free and easy action of all four wheels is permitted because the outer flexible tips of the springs are attached to the axles. Thus the most sensitive parts of the springs receive road shocks first and absorb them before they reach the body. The advantages of the solid axle are retained. PRICED AS LOW AS $515 t. O. B.
