SfEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGOX, TUESDAY, .TAXUART 9, 1934. PAGE THREE L I AIDS PEAR SALES Dr. Hartmann Here On In spection Trip Gives Opti mistic View On Industry Pear Education Needed The market control plan, an Im proved pack, and ripening of pears, before they are placed on sale, has brought the Rogue River pears par ticularly the Boscs out of the trade doldrums In the New York markets, according to Dr. Henry Hartmann, horticulturist for the Oregon experi ment station, and identified With the Oregon -Washington Pear Bureau work. D. Hartmann Is spending a few days In the city Inspecting pears, and con ferring with shippers and growers. He returned from New York City De cember 17, last. Gain Quirk Approval. According to Dr. Hartmann, when the Boscs were placed on the market, ripened and ready to eat, "they met with Instantaneous approval, when I expected It would take at least a year to educate the public. The Boscs Skin are now enjoying a highly Improved sale." Dr. Hartmann has been In charge of the ripening shed, and placing the pears on the markets. It has been demonstrated that the consumer "will not buy anything he has to put be hind the kitchen stove to ripen, but will purchase an item that appeals to the eye, and he can eat, on the spot, or at the next meal." Every Pear Good. Dr. Hartmann says he visited 300 fruit stores in New York city, when the Boscs were placed on the market, "and failed to find a single pear that was green or Inedible." "All the boxes were well packed, pleasing to the eye, and were In per fect condition," said Dr. Hartmann. "It was sn improvement over other years. Results were noted Imme diately, tn Increased sales. Both the dealer and the buying public were pleased. "It has been my observation, said Dr. Hartmann, "that much of this year's success has been due to the market control plan, and It should be continued at all costs. Should Continue Work. 'Co-operation of the growers In the continuation of the present pack and ripening policy," was urged by Dr. Hartmann "to insure the ground gained, and to widen the pear markets. "Only a half dozen cities of the nation know anything about the Bosc," said Dr. Hartmann. "There is no question but what the pear would meet the same reception In other cities, it did in New York. That would mean much to the grower." Like Harry Rosenberg, Dr. Hartmann Is optimistic about the future of the pear Industry, and says the grower "has cause to be cheered by present conditions." Dr. Hartmann has a national repu tation as a fruit expert, and Is an au thority on Rogue River valley pear conditions. F PEARS IS VISITOR Jean Mathleu of Paris. Prance, one of Europe's largest buyers of Rogue River pears, spent Monday In the city. Inspecting valley orchards and conferring with Raymond R. Reter of ; the Pinnacle Packing company. Mathleu's firm makes a specialty of furnishing Parisian cafes with fancy fruits and vegetables. Last year he handled over 200 carloads of valley fruit. The visitor is unable to talk Eng lish, so John Dallalre, a local resi dent, was drafted as an interpreter and had a busy day. The press dispatch that Prance had boosted the fruit Import allowances from America, pleased Mathieu. He said It would be "grandee ze beez neas." Mathieu left this morning by plane for Los Angeles, whence he will fly to New York, then take a boat for Chile, cross the Andes to Rio de Jan lero, and then go home. Glimpse of Roosevelt Thrills Capitol Crowd, Including Mary Kelly By Mary Grelner Kelly. WASHINOTON, D. C, Jan.' 3. President Roosevelt is one of the greatest matinee idols who ever held the spot in a turbulent national drama. Take It from the mob who stood for hours In the long marble corridors of the capltol today, miss ing lunch for the mere privilege of witnessing his entrance and exit through the door of the house cham ber, where the president addrwd the Joint session of congress. Only one pass was Issued each con gressman for the occasion, so even many members of congressional fami lies were barred from the main event. Many "important people" craned their necks along with the common herd In the halls outside. The presi dent arrived at 1:15. The capltol grounds and halls swarmed with peo ple at 9. Many carried sandwiches In their pockets and munched while they waited. In direct contrast was his protege, Hattle Caraway, pale-faced little Arkansas senator, who apparently de pends upon the old-fashioned kid curlers for the wave In her hair. She arrived early and slipped Inconspicu ously into her seat, where she re mained quietly until the clerk called her name at roll call. Vice-President Garner arrived at the stroke of 12, and was his face red! This permanent blush, which .extends up into his scalp (noticeable under its sparcer coverage) is empha sized by the snowy whiteness of his hair and shaggy eyebrows. With notable economy of means he dispensed with the formalities of the morning in 20 minutes swearing in three new senators, hearing the read ing of resolutions, etc. It was no trick getting Into the sen ate which convened first. And a pass, kindly Issued by Oregon's genial Senator McNary, was found not so po tent a factor for admittance as a 9:30 arrival. It was first come, first served tn the senate galleries. Even at that early hour (the senate didn't meet until noon) the immacu lately clad, page boys were arranging books on the senatorial desks and keeping their ears open for possible Instructions. A colored lad polished the already gleaming desks, ran an old-fashioned carpet sweeper over a spotless green carpet and basked In the reflected glory of the speaker's desk as he swung his duster over and over the top of It. The galleries were filled by 10 o'clock. One of the important spec tators In the reserved section was Mayor LaGuardis of New York, who Is much better looking than his news paper pictures make him out. The senators began filing In at a quarter to twelve, and didn't sit down until they had to. They appeared to enjoy greeting each other, the most conspicuous and smiling hand ahaker being California's McAdoo. who made the entire rounds In the briefest pos sible time. He Is certainly the world's breeziest Individual. That Is, McAdoo was the most con spicuous member until Huey Long made his entrance. Huey tis an actor of a different brand, and times his entrances effectively. Waiting until he was properly "discovered." he treated the world to an all-enveloping grin and did HIS handshaking act. This consisted in grasping the right hand of each Individual with both of his and with he-man virility pulling the "victim" off balance, while he talked into his face. And an hour later, when this au gust body, flanked by guards and pro tected by secret service men, passed up one long corridor through the doors of the house, they elicited scarcely a mild Interest from the long suffering spectators. After alt, they were but bit players in the great drama today. The leading man the matinee Idoi made an inconspicuous entrance via another door, and those of the mob counted themselves lucky, who discovered the back or his head as he was whisked through their midst. LACK OF LICENSE State Police Captain Lee M. Bown stated today that in the past provi sional arrests have been made in the cases of persons operating vehicles without the proper plates, but here after arrests will include court ap pearances. Truck owners will also be required to haxe proper licenses, and instruc tions, according to Captain Bown, have been received from the Salem offices to enforce the PITC requirements. Martin Fined For Single Headlight Clyde Martin of the Griffin creek district, a son of Acey Martin, well known wood dealer, was yesterd ly charged with driving an auto with one headlight, pleaded guilty and was fined 5. The court granted 30 days' time in which to remit the fine and costs. IN COUNTY AFTER j nc ut KMED Broadcast Schedule There was a 28 per cent decrease in marriage licenses Issued In Jnckson county last year, according to the records of the county clerk's office. In 1932 the total number of mar riage licenses issued was 508. Last year it was 368 a drop of 142. The "Oregon Gin Marriage Law" passed by the last regular aewion of the legislature la blamed for the de cline, and not a lack of romantic gumption on the part -of Dan Cupid. The press Implored the people not to approve the measure, but the peo ple Issued another one of their fam ous mandates, and It carried. Tne press argued that many who camo here to have nuptial knots tied, hail ed from northern California counties, and that the "gin law" would hit the civic pocketbook. It was held the out-of-state bridegroom bought wed ding rings.'gowns. gifts, gasoline, sup pers and lunches, and made the of ficiating preacher smile. Generally an auto caravan of friends and kin came along to launch them on the matrimonial seas. The above men tioned "mandate of the people' stop ped all that, or nearly so. On the other hand, those already married were slightly more serene tn 1933 than In 1932. Last year 102 di vorces were granted. In 1932 there were 105 couples freed from wedlock, by order of the court. The decrease In divorces totaled three. The annual report of the county clerk shows the total number of equity, law. and criminal cases filed last year was 479. HI FOR ALLEGED ASSAULT William Ritchie, 45, laborer, arrest ed yesterday afternoon by state police on charges of assault and battery filed by Dr. W. L. Cameron, was re leased on his own recognizance by Judge w. R. Coleman, after he en tered a plea of not guilty, and trial was set for January 15 at 10 a. m. According to state police records, Ritchie was convloted In June of having venison in his possession dur ing closed season. He was fined $50 In Justice court and given time to pay. Police state that no payment has as yet been made on the fine.

PENSION SEEKERS GET CLERICAL AID The county court, acting as the old age pension commission, has found It necessary to change their plans rela tive to the filling out of old age pen sion applications, It was announced today by County Judge Earl B. Day. All applicants who have not filled out their blanks, or have had their blanks returned, or designated as Im properly filled out, are to call at the county court, where two CWA stenog raphers have been detailed to assist them, clerically. A large majority of the applicants have not filled out their blanks properly and in full. This la highly Important, both to the applicant and the county.
