Medford and Qriuite Pass may have open dates next Sunday In order, that the other league teams may 1 catch up. ! BaMbai; In Medford has been pre-' ty dend for a long time.

Southern Oregon's Largest and Most Complete Showing of Ultra-Modern Furniture RELIEF EFFORTS ARE OUTLINED AT ROTARY MEETING What the United States govern ment is doing toward the relief of needy and unemployed In this local ity as well as C. C. C, C. W. A. and P. W. A. activities In Jackson county were discussed at today's meeting of the Medford Rotary club at the Med ford Hotel. Alfred S. V. Carpenter. Fred Scheffel, Captain B. B. McMa hon and Louis Utrlch presented brief, interesting outlines of the work of their various department work that has substantially contributed to Im provement of local relief and Is giv ing new life and vigor to Industry here. ' Activities of the Jackson County Relief committee were outlined by A. S. V. Carpenter, head of this' Impor tant committee. Mr. Carpenter gave statistics which Indicated the splen did work his committee has accom plished since its establishment In March of 1933. Both direct relief and C. W. A. employment were pro vided through this committee and now the newly established E. R. A. Is taking the place of the former C. W. A., taking additional people off the relief roles. Mr. Carpenter Is con vinced that unemployed prefer work ing In exchange for relief rather than receiving aid In the form of a dole. Fred Scheffel, city superintendent, offered interesting data upon the work here of C. W. A. men and ox pressed hope that funds would be forthcoming for the construction of Medford'a sewage disposal plant. This self-liquidating project"- has already received approval in Washington but necessary funds have been lacking due to the allocation of Initial funds to large coast projects such as the Los Angeles Aquaduct, the San Francisco bay bridges. Bonneville and Grand Coulee projects and Ore gon coast highway bridges. Eighty-eight percent of the original $3,300,000,000 public works appropri ation will be spent during the spring, summer and fall of 1934, according to Mr.'Scheffel. even If no additional funds are available. Tills shows that three times as much federal money Is due to be. expended during the re mainder of this year than has al ready been spent during the latter part of 1933 and the first two months of 1934. Captain McMahon gave an Inter esting talk to the Rotartans upon the work or the C. C. C. Thla city Is now headquarters for an area of 30,000 square miles; 30 camps and approximately 4000 men.

C. officer also pointed out the nplendid work of the conser vation crews in building trails and roads, opening new country, and their Important forest fire preven tion activities. The newly established National Re-employment Service, headed here by Louis Ulrlch, was described in a short talk by Mr. Ulrlch. The func tions of this new department were pointed out and a cordial invitation to both employers and employees to avail themselves of the services of this office was extended by Mr. Ulrlch.

Each said the second volley came almost directly after the first. This, it was recalled, was In direct contrast to state witnesses who said here was an interval of about 16 minutes.
