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

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.

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.
"There are many people who have
not returned applications, on account
of the fact that the county has prac
tically no funds with which to pay
peiutons." said County Judpe Duy

ape of funds, the county court would
like to have all the applications filed
this month in order thnt we may
