SPEEDS GROWTHS
Meteorological notes for March as
compiled by W. J. Hutchison, local
meteorologist, show temperature av
erages were exceptionally high for
the month; In fact, the highest dur
ing 23 years of record. A mean tern
perature of 55.0 degrees Is 3.8 de
grees higher than the same figure
for any past March during the pe
riod of record. Monthly mean maxi
mum and minimum were also record
htg,h temperatures for March. In
comparing these temperatures with
past records the highest previous
means show a maximum of 68.9 de
grees and minimum of 38.5 degrees,
while these mean temperatures for
March, 1934, are 69.7 degrees and 40.4
degrees, respectively.
Rains were generally light and
gentle except for the heavier down
pour on the 27th. Light showers
fell on the first five days and begin
ning again on the 21st were practi
cally of dally occurrence to the close
of the month. The heaviest 24-hour
rainfall on the 27th and 28th totaled
0.54 Inch at the station, and, while
no official measurements were ob
tainable, It was evident that other
portions of the Medford area received
considerably greater amounts during
the period. Dry soil conditions, re
sulting from an extremely dry win
ter season, were relieved somewhat
by the freshening rains. A monthly
total rainfall of 1.15 Inches was re
corded, being s,hort of normal by
0.56 Inch. Seasonal precipitation
continues to show a decided defi
ciency. Precipitation for the rainfall
season at the close of March totaled
8.07 Inches and as compared with
the normal for a like period Is defi
cient 6.22 Inches.
, Weather throughout March, as ft
w.hole, was remarkably mild and con
ducive to the early growth and de
velopment of vegetation. The grow
ing season Is about ten days to two
weeks early. Although records Indi
cate a predominance of cloudiness
during the month, the prevailing
cloud being of the high thin Cirrus
type, considerable warmth from the
sun was received through the thin
overcast.
Winds were generally light or mod
erate with the highest velocity regis
tering 21 miles per hour on the 25th.
Hourly velocities averaged 4.8 miles
per .hour. The monthly wind move
ments totaled 3,536 miles.

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.

EAGUE
TO STAGE DRAMA
OF LOST CHURCH
Ep worth League Drama club of the
First Methodist church will present
"The Lost Church,"a religious drama,
next Sunday evening.
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. This club
Is planning presentation of another
play in the near future. There is un
usual talent displayed In "The Lost
Church." and it will be worth any
one's time to see It,

4000 NEED JOBS BEGKELHYMER
IN
T
An appeal to every Jackson county
firm and individual, able to furnish
a Job of any sire or duration, to any
other Individual, was voiced by the
National Reemployment Service today
through the local director, Lewis Ul
rich. "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.

Painful Piles
Go Quick No Cuttliig-o-No Salves
If vou think an operation Is always
the only way to escape the misery of
torturing Piles, It's because you have
n't heard of Henf-Rotd the harmless
internal medicine discovered by
western physician.
Alter years of study Dr. J. S. Leon-,
hardt was convinced that the cause
of Plies was internal bad circulation
of blood in the lower bowel thii
hemorrhoidal veins filled with stag'
nant blood and that the right and
sale way to get freedom from Pile
agony was to remove the cause with
an internal medicine. Immediately
the doctor set to work to find the
remedy. He succeeded and called his
prescription HEM-ROID.
Pile sufferers everywhere are bene
fiting by Dr. Leonhardt's discovery,
so why doubt or delay longer when
Jarmin's, Woods', also McNalr Bros, of
Ashland, and all druggists say, "No
matter what kind of Ples you have,
one bottle of HEM-ROID tablets must
show you the safe clean way to get
rid oi your pile misery or money-
