HEAR GOOD NEWS
The directors of the Medford cham
ber of commerce and a hastily assem
bled group of Medford business men
gathered at the Medford Hotel at
luncheon today to welcome Leonard K
Firestone, son of Harvey Firestone,
nationally known tire manufacturer.
Unassuming- friendly and altogether
charming, Jjeonard Firestone made a
decidedly favorable Impression on
business and professional men of this
city who had assembled to honor him.
Especially interested were his listen
ers in the optimJstic message the
youthful tire executive broughto to
this city and his words bear consider
able weight as they reflect the opin
ions of his famous father. Leonard
Firestone may be considered an au
thority on business conditions him
self as he Is prominently Identified
' with the sales organization of the
great Firestone company and Is sales
manager of the western division with
headquarters In Los Angeles.
"Reports from every section of the
United States and sales of our own
products In practically every city of
the country Indicate a definite up
turn In business' Leonard Firestone
tol dthe chamber of commerce mem
bers. "In my opinion, the govern
ment must put teeth in the enforce
ment of codes in fairness to business
organizations living yp to the spirit
and letter of present agreements.
There 1b certainly no place for chls
slers in the nation-wide recovery
program."
Mr. Firestone praised the adminis
tration's recovery efforts and, while
not subscribing to all phases of the
program, confidently predicted con
tinued economic improvement. "The
plan of a fairer distribution of labor,
with less hours and more men at
work, is right" the speaker said. "It
is a means of distributing wealth over
a greater number of people of all
classes and will remedy some of the
harmful effects of machine produc
tion." "I am more interested in Just what
will happen during our next depres
sion" Leonard Firestone said. "That
Is why I am Intensely interested In
efforts now being made to eliminate
many of the causes of our present
economic condition."
A tribute to the Medford chamber
of commerce was paid by the youth
ful tire executive, who has. been con
stantly In touch with the local or
ganization and is familiar with the
enthusiasm and work of that civic or
ganization. Before Introducing Leonard Fire
stone, George Henselman, who acted
as chairman of the extemporaneous
meeting introduced A. J, Stephens,
manager of the Portland district who
accompanied Mr. Firestone to this
city. Curt. Hopkins, manager of the
Firestone Service stores in Medford
and Mr. Firestone's host, was also In
troduced. '
Following 'the meeting, Leonard
Firestone was asked his opinion of
the CWA activities and its effect
upon general business conditions by
a Mall Tribune representative. This
much discussed phase of the national
recovery program was also praised by
Firestone who said:
"The CWA program is vastly better
than a dole. Constructive work Is
being accomplished throughout the
country and men and women of all
claases who are actually In want have
been given an opportunity to work
and earn. This should favorably af
fect business, although we have not
noted the result yet to an appreci
able extent, due to the fact that it is
Just underway. This plan should aid
much in the hastening of better busi
ness conditions In all sections of the
country.".
When Mr. Firestone leaves this city
for his home in Los Angeles, he will
take with him boxes of famous Rogue
River valley pears, provided by fruit
growers of this community.

The close was mildly irregular. Trans

the center. Medford has taken no
initiative In the matter and Is spend
lng no money In the establishment
of the center, Mayor Wilson added
Through his interview with Mr.
Reynolds yesterday, he stated that he
understood that the department's idea
Is to get away from "real relief" work,
by keeping the men at home and at
work. They will be cared for at the
transient center but for a short peri
od of time. There will be a camp for
work located between this city and
Klamath Falls.
Deny Sending Transients.
No statement was made here today
regarding the claims of Ashland that
relief funds have been withdrawn
from that city's Helping Hand Mis
sion, through establishment of the
transient center here, but the claims
that transients had been sent from
the county relief commltee headquar
ters to Ashland was emphatically de
nied by Alfred 8. V. Carpenter, chair
man of the committee. The state
ment appearing in the Wednesday
Ashland Tidings claimed that a man
named E W. Anderson arrived in Ash
land with the story that he had been
sent, there by the Medford office.
Further protest to the change of
location of the center was expressed
in the editorlsl columns of the Ash
land nw.paper. It was understood
here, when the state director made
tfc change in location, that support
would be withdrawn from the Help
ing Hand Mission in Ahland. The
change was one, city officials tore
emphasized again this afternoon, over
which they had no influence.

Bureau Work Reviewed
Rosenberg said one problem was
to present the Base pears to the con-!
sumer In an Improved edibility. He
reviewed the work of vie pear bu
reau for the year, and said that the j
main effort had been to reach fun-,
damental facts, to aid in the market- j
lng and sale of pears.
William Horsley, secretary of the
Northwest Fruit Industries, said that. :
under the marketing agreement of
the AAA governing pear prices, etc.,
"we can say .we are beginning to
see out way out of the darkness."
Horseley declared the minimum
price fixing clauses ,had been bene
ficial. "There has been plenty of
'chiseling,' but while they were lay
ing awake nights to beat us, we were
laying awake nights to keep them
from it." He declared: "The pear
marketing agreement Is the only one
that Is working, and it will be per
fected as the powers of the control
board under the blanket license be
come operative."
Shortage of the crop and the for
eign exchange rates were also listed
by Horsley as aids to northwest
growers the past season.
Paul Scherer, scheduled to read a
paper on the Northwest Fruit In
dustries, Inc., work, was ill and un
able to attend. His paper was read
by Horsley.
Pear Pack Increased
J. W. Mayo, general manager of
the Nortli Pacific Canners & Pack
ers, said, despite the depression, there
had been an increase in packed
pears since 1929; that the per capita
consumption of canned pears over
the world showed a gain; that they
were growing as a European food,
and that the British trade treaty
would "no doubt contain clauses
covering canned pears."
Mayo also said that "Oregon pears
and prunes were now placed on a
par with California peaches and apri
cots in eastern chain store adver
tisements. A. 8. Peters of Hood River explain
ed the growth of water shipments In
this district and that it was hoped
the Bonneville dam locks would be
made large enough to permit water
