BEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON, FREOAY. JANUARY 5. 1931. PAGE FTVK LEAGUE OF CITIES TAKES NO ACTION L I SPLIT PATERNITY OF TWINS SHOWN (Continued from page one) It was brought out In this connec tion that the people will probably be given an opportunity to vote on the bill in May. Wm. Brlggs, state consultant for the League of Oregon Cities, in explaining the Knox bill, stated that It la far more strict than the average city would make an ordinance, and that the licenses under the bill are also higher than most cities would impose. He stated that once the original three million dollars going to relief has been raised, the cities will obtain more revenue than they would in moat cases receive under home rule. City budgets have been made up in many cases, however, It was also ahown at the meeting, with the un derstanding that the revenue from liquor channels would be available, and the cities are as a result facing a difficult situation. Mr. Brlggs ex pressed the belief that the three mil lion dollars to go Into relief would be rained In less than a year, and that the courts would uphold the Knox bill. Describing Medford'a situation, he stated that this city would obtain approximately 7,000 a year from licenses under the Knox bill after the three million requisite had been satisfied. CWA Need Recited. Need for the continuation of CWA work In all towns was reported In response to a verbal survey made at the meeting by Herman Kehrli. direc tor of the bureau of municipal re search and service at the University Bf Oregon. Each town's representatives an nounced that there are sufficient projects needed to keep the men at j work during the spring and summer : and that there Is still a great need for employment. J Mayor Wiley of Ashland expressed considerable dissatisfaction with the number of men so far allotted to that jectlon, stating that there are still jsony men in desperate need of work. Tengwald Tell Progress. Progress of the CWA program was described by Victor Tengwald. field representative, who urged cities to keep their applications before the board. Should the state of Oregon be allotted more men, he explained, It would facilitate matters greatly to have the outlines at hand. He in formed the group that he could not forecast what will happen in.CWA work after February 15. Mayor E. M. Wilson of this city and Mayor Walter Stockwell of Grants Pass presided at the meetings. : ' - .iC I 1W N fx wj , s -iV; y- my mitt mrtwii-wii fl NEW YORK DAY BY DAY BY O.O.McIntyre J Biologists took notlco when Ewald Peddia of Freeman, S.

Christmas Explained. .To the Editor: In the January 4th edition of the Mall Tribune was a news Item stat ing that the people of Rod an the, N. 0.. do not know how they came to observe January fith aa Christmas. January 5th Is the date of Christ mas on the old or Julian calendar. The people of the North Carolina Banks are descendants of Sir Walter Raleigh's colonies In America. They came from Devonshire, England, and due to the isolation of the islands up to recent yeara they have retained the customs and language of their ancestors of the Elizabethan period. The Julan or old calendar was used by the English-speaking1 people In America until 1752 when England adopted the Gregorian or new cal endar. The change was executed by Pope Gregory XIII. Gregory in 1582 Issued a brief abolishing the Julian calen dar in all Catholic countries. The amendment ordered was this: Ten days were to be dropped after October 4, 1582. and the 15th was to be reckoned immediately after the 4th. Every 100th year, which, by the old style was to have been leap year, was now to be a common year, the fourth excepted; that Is, 1600 was to remain a leap year, but 1700, 1800. 1900. to be of common length, and 2000 a leap year again. The Catholic countries of Europe had all adopted the revised calendar by 1587. By 1753 it waa accepted by ail European nations with the ex ception of Russia. HARVEY C. KISH. 417 Woodstock Ave..

Which makes Rai ney'a batting average on predictions still zero. His prediction that there will be no stock market regulation this session will not raise his average either. Mr. Roosevelt's speech at the Wil son dinner was written only a few hours before Its delivery. They say he had not put a word on paper at 4 p. m., the day of the speech and dashed It off In a hurry before dress ing for dinner. He always lets his speech go until the last possible min ute, which keeps the White House staff in a fever.
