(Associated Press Photo) NEW PETROLEUM Medford retailers of petroleum pro ducts are again pointing out to southern Oregon motorists the fea ture of the new petroleum code which concerns long time credit to retail patrons. Many motorists of , excellent credit rating and commun- I ity standing have resented the fact that their credit at Medford and val- j ley stations and garages has been j stopped In case their previous month account Is not paid by the 15th of j the succeeding month. j Proprietors of service stations and ' garages are calling attention to the clause in the petroleum code prohib- . ltlng the extension of credit on gas- 1 ollne and motor oil after the tSth of each month when preceding month ' statements are not paid. Station I nnd garage operators are emphaslz-1 lng the fact that they are adhering to the code when they maintain this credit rule and motorists are urged to not ask for special favors in this respect as a $500 fine Is imposed on den!rrs who violate this clause of the r- ' - - orriing to service station men here. j... t-.-rolcum code,' designed1 to "remote fair competition, eliminates the old plan of special favors to some motorists and places all credit pa trons on an even basis. Proprietors of service stations and garages In this section are making a special ef fort to live up to this code and are asking the motoring public to co operate to the extent of asking for no extension of credit over that stip ulated In this code.

The play centers around a man of the world, excellently portrayed by Howard Poffenbargar, who Jeers at the church: he believes In "the gos pel of the hearty handshake." He Is disgusted with his wife, enacted by Janette Trill, who enjoys her mis stonary society work; with his little daughter (Margaret Bateman), who la going to speak a piece at Sunday school on Rally day, and wants her daddy to hear her, and with his son (Lester Pay), who Is studying to be a minister. All four of these people have worked very hard on their parts and give excellent portrayals. Words of the Sunday school teach er (Beth GUlings): "Then you would Just as soon live in a churchless com munity as not?" are the theme of the play. In the second act, the church across the street is gone. In its place Is a saloon. The son, who was study ing for the ministry, forges his fath er's name on a check. He doesn't know what college or the ministry is. The man's daughter Is run over by a drunken driver. His wife thinks him insane when he says that the child should be sent to a hospital, because there are no such things as hospitals. In the third scene, the man explains his weird dream to his neighbor (Arthur Cook), who finally agrees that the church Is the foun dation of everything worth while that exists in the world today. Other members of the cast are : Joyce Banish, spirit of the church; Helen Power, spirit of Ignorance; Mil dred Walker, spirit of sin, and a poor woman; Jean Gilllngs, spirit of spir itual darkness; Ruth Leclerc, spirit of sin; Marie VanDermark, spirit of social injustice; Eleanora Poffen- bargar, spirit of spiritual darkness The members of the chorus are: Betty Paske, Florence Neuman, Jean Gilllngs, Ruth Leclerc, Olaf Severson and Arthur Cook. Stage manager and electricians are Marvin Burk and Bernard Roberts. The play is under direction of Miss Myrna Barrett and Rev. Joseph Knotts. Costumes are in charge of Miss Barrett and Mrs Crane. The public is invited and urged to attend. This Is the first production presented by the Drama club and it promises to be very good.

"Close to 4,000 unemployed men and women, covering every trade or pro fession, are registered with the Na tional Reemployment Service on the third floor of the city hall here," Mr. Ulrich'jn announcement revealed. These unemployed are all bona fide residents of Jackson county, and have resided in the county for at least one year. The government regu lations provide that Jackson county work Is for Jackson county workers, thereby discouraging the migration of labor. The objective of President Roose velt at this time is to return "our unemployed to private industry." The codes are becoming effective, and there should be a rapid pickup In all lines of business. Mr. Ulrich point ed out this morning. The CWA Is a thing of the past, and every effort is being made to find Jobs for the vast army of unemployed, no matter how small the Job. It is understood' that all good citi zens are vitally Interested in the Na tional Recovery act, and should there fore understand the necessity of put ting these men and women to work, if conditions are to return to normalcy In closing the personal appeal, Mr. Uhlch declared "Your cooperation with the President's program will be very much appreciated." The Jackson county labor commit tee Is composed of Floyd Hart, Alfred S. V. Carpenter and F. J. Runtz.
