NO section of the etate Lb more vitally interested in the CCC
camps than Southern Oregon. The establishment of these
camps has not only stimulated local business, brought needed
improvements in our forests and parks; but it has given us the
opportunity of aiding in the worth-while task ''of producing,
healthier and therefore better citizens.
Also no section of the state is more vitally interested in the
national park service. As the principal gateway of Crater Lake,
Medford 'a stake in this national attraction, is a large one; as
is its interest in the development and administration of national
parka throughout this section of the coast.

TpHIS coming Thursday night, August 9th, Director Robert
Fechner of the Civilian Conservation Corps, will be the
guest of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, at a local
dinner, to which the publio is cordially invited. Director A. B.
Cammerer of the National Park Service will also be an honored
guest. Colonel C. Q. Thomson, former superintendent of Crater
Lake, and well known here, will come up from Yosemite, where
he is now stationed, to attend. Mr. C. J. Buck of Portland,
regional U. S. forester, will also be here.
a a
IT seems rather superfluous to add, that the people of Medford
and Jackson county should turn out in large numbers to give
such distinguished guests, a cordial and enthusiastic welcome.
Provisions for the crowd, however, must be made in advance.
Those who intend to go but make no reservations, may find
an S. R. 0. sign when they arrive, which would be disappointing
to them, and the J. C. C. G, also.
So if you haven't made your reservation, do so. Ladies are
invited. All will be welcome.
Let's show the national heads of the CCC and the park
service that we are interested in
preciate their interest in us.
F. D. R. Gives the West Its Due
PRESIDENT- ROOSEVELT'S recent boost for the Pacific
northwest, as a land of opportunity, where settlers on
marginal land, facing disaster, in the stricken middlewest, might
well move, and thus enjoy a happier and more abundant life,
has not been pleasantly received
in the east.
At least one of these large eastern newspapers, has interpret
ed this invitation as another effort at regimentation, and main
tains that federal agents are to call on the hard working far
mers, order them to abandon their homes, pack up their belong
ings, and settle down somewhere west of the Rocky mountains,
or stew in their own juice, as the saying goes.
OF course such an interpretation is entirely absurd. As the
president has stated, those farmers on arid marginal lands,
who for many years have been in the red, and wish to stay in
the red, will not be interfered
perfect freedom of choice. But
called their attention to better
tunities elsewhere.
If they wish to and CAN
tunities, well and good; if they don't and CAN'T well and
good also. It is entirely a matter for them as individuals to
docide.

ment, noftinat PraaManf P.nnaivlf siicrfraarinn im oaev tn
understand. All along the north
larly in New York, there is not only a strong prejudice against
the Pacific coast, there is, with the possible exception of southern
California, an abysmal ignorance concerning it.
Not only the states of Oregon
Idaho, Utah, Arizona and Wyoming, are merely strange names
in the typical eastern mind. They know such places exist, but
they have no idea of their exact location, and care less. More
over there is a firm conviction, that while these peculiar por
tions of the unshaven wilderness, get large federal appropria
tions, they pay little or nothing into the treasury at Washington.
The wild west gets the plums, and the eastern states, New
York, New Jersey, Msssachusetts and Pennsylvania pay for
them, and pay through the nose. That is a fixed, eastern
complex.

SO while the president's gesture on behalf of the Pacific north
west was appreciated by the people of this part of the coun
try, and is perhaps the greatest advertisement the western coast
has ever received, an advertisement that is bound to pay divi
dends in the years to come, it will certainly make no votes for
him, east of the Alleghanies.
As the president remarked, the West has a stake in the East,
and the East has a stake in the West. This is a great and a
united country. But not one person in one hundred, along the
Atlantic seaboard, BELIEVES it.
To them East is East and West is West; and never the twain
slmll meet. The pride themselves upon being cosmopolite, but
actunlly, their provincialism is almost incredible.
When in moments of relaxation and repose, their feet arc
inclined to wander, they turn to the East, as inevitably as the
faithful Mussulman turns his eyes to Mecca. The large foreign
populations there all have their family roots abroad. The typ
ical Easterner considers only one pilgrimage a real vacation,
i.e. an extended jaunt in Europe.

are all pretty
nourishing stulf
and, oh, so easy
to eat or drink,
whether you are
hungry or not.
AU of these are
notoriously lacking in food minerals
and In vitamins. Beauty contest
winners appear to lack qualities that
make a woman a good wife.
All the Items mentioned are made
from foods that In their original nat
ural state contained vitamins or min
erals or both, but In the process of
manufacture, refinement, purifica
tion, pasteurization, sterilization, fu
migation, bleaching, preservation,
concentration or cooking these es
sential factors are partly or entirely
removed or destroyed.
Por efficiency and well being the
body demands not only a minimum
of calories from protein, fat and car
bohydrate dally but alao a minimum
of minerals and vitamins. The ordi
nary diet of civilized man, consisting
largely of refined, manufactured or
purified foods, falls to supply the
minimum of minerals and vitamins
required. In the instinctive effort to
get theM essentials most of us eat
too much of the food we have. The
ce piles up as fat. And still we
are hungry, for the demand has not
been met.
The easiest kind of food to eat Is
carbohydrate. Candy, loe cream,
crackers, bread, cakes, pie puddings,
hot fudge sauce these things are so
easy to eat even when you are not
particularly hungry or when you have
Just had a full meal of regular vic
tuals or when someone Invites you to
have some refreshment.
Thus the nutritional deficiency Is
a kind of vicious circle. You' crave
food because you are not properly
nourished. The easiest and most
available and perhaps the most
tempting and palatable things to eat
are these very items, and they hap
pen to be the poorest in mineral and
vitamin content.

has no HI effect of sny kind. Of
course it has food value. It is silly
to Imagine that certain foods, such
as lemons, pickles, etc., reduce.
Best Ant-Acid.
Some time ago you recommended
something as an ant-acld for stom
ach acidity. I believe It was chalk,
but I have lost the clipping ...
Mrs. D. J. W.
Answer Yes, prepared chalk, also
called calcium carbonate, Is preferable
to soda or other alkalis. Ten grains
will neutralize excessive acidity for an
hour or more,
Molasses.
Can you tell me what molasses does

Answer Only molasses made tn the
old fashioned way, by boiling the
sugar down In open kettles. Here

This was the late Charles R. Barnes,
who flourished In the middle-west
30 years ago. At the same time, he
quit fiction Just aa the better maga
zines were clamoring for his stuff.
Writing became suddenly anathema.
So much so he gave his typewriter
away and tn his last years refused
even to write letters.
They were talking at the Cafe La
fayette the other evening about
locales for fiction. New York, Lon
don and Paris are stand-bys. New
Orleans and San Francisco lead the
second division and during the past
few years Hollywood becomes a se
rious contender. Indeed, there have
been three distinct fiction successes
with Hollywood as a background.
Oddly enough, the city with likely
more Intrigue, color and cosmopoli
tan personalities than any other has
never been successfully exploited
among better fiction sellers. That
Is, Washington. D. C. Hawaii is Just
beginning to be flctlonlzed.
The mellow Lafayette cafe, inci
dentally, has been the occasional
haunt of almost every litterateur of
parts. Edith Wharton liked it best
of New York restaurants. Edwin
Arlington Robinson still goes there
on Increasingly frequent nights he
dines out. David Graham Phillips
gave quiet dinners there. Even such
moderns as P. Scott Fitzgerald and
Sinclair Lewis are now and then

Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
HAVE you noticed the new type of
road th atat highway commis
sion ha been building at yerloua
point In Oregon during the pst year
and a halt base of hesvy stona,
practically boulders, from one to three
feet In thickness, with th surfacing
material laid on topf
HTma so-called 'nW type of high
1 way," R. H. Baldock. stst high
way engineer, aald to thla writer th
other day. "goea right back to the
practice of the old Roman road
bulldera. "Those old Roman road were the
moat permanent ever built sine th
world began. Some of them are still
In use.
With proper caxe, this new type
of road we're building tn Oregon to
day will be In use centuries hsnce."
THAT I to say. with all our modern
engineering knowledge, we've gone
back 18 or 20 centuries for a type of
road to fit our modern neds.
There's a provsrb, you know, that
there's no new thing under th sun.
It Isn't far from th truth.
FOR that matter, the Europe of to
day la going right back to Roman
political history.
Rome started a a republic, then
drifted by slow stages Into a dictator-
ship In which one man'a will waa
absolute. Dictatorships, of on sort
and another, are spreading rapidly
over Europe.
Remember, please, that the down
fall of Rome began not long, aa the
historians reckon time, after th rlae
of the dictatorship principle.
A-A
THEY aay that history repeats ltelf.
la the rlae of dtctatorahln tha ha.
glnnlng of the downfall of Europe?
BUT let' get away from European
politics, whose recent trenda are
certainly disgusting to good Ameri
cana, and back to the subject of
roads.
Thla heavy-base highway of which
Mr. Baldock apeaks haa been made
feasible by the new types of surfacing,
such aa oil macadam, which hold the
surface In place and prevent the big
rock In the base from working up.
We built some of these boulder base
roads back In the early days of Ore
gon and they were TERRIBIJB. The
surface wore off, or blew away, and
the bouldera worked up to the top.
If you ever drove over one of these
sections, you won't want to hear any
more, for your memories of th Jolt
ings you got will be painful In the
extreme.
IT WAS In Oregon, Incidentally,
A under the direction of Mr. Baldock,
then engineer In charge of mainte
nance of atate highways, that the oil
macadam highway was first developed
aa a practical and economical road.
It waa Oregon, also, that developed
the system of financing blghwaya by
means of automobile license fees and
gasoline taxes, thua providing that
those who use the roads shall build
and maintain them an eminently
fair system.
Now Oregon Is pioneering In the
construction of these heavy-base, per
manent highways, using It own In
ventlon of the oil macadam surface
to make them feasible.
Oregon, you aee, ha been a real
highway pioneer.
a
HERE'S something else that will in
tereat you:
The Oregon state highway commis
sion, looking into th future and
shaping Its policies according to what
tt conceives the needs of the future
to be, la planning Its main hlghwaya
to carry traffic at a speed of from SO
to 100 mllee an hour.
Width of right-of-way and surface
curves, grades and all other factors
are being adjusted slowly, of course
because such changes cost money; but
nevertheless steadily to this plsn.
BEFORE criticising, remember that
atreamllnlng la expected to in
crease tremendously the apeed of cars,
aa well as their fuel economy. En
gineers are already talking of speeds
of 100 to 135 miles an hour, with fuel
mileage aa high aa 40 mllea to the
gallon.
It la overcoming wind resistance at
high speed that burns up fuel and
holds down speed, and with wind
resistance reduced by proper stream
lining, much greater speed and econ
omy will be possible.
Before such speeds, together with
th increased travel resulting from
greater economy, will be safely pos
sible, we must have roads to handle
them.
Our state highway commission ts
planning to give us that kind of roads
by the time we really need them.

To th Editor:
I rtad with much Interest your
editorial In last night' paper en
titled "Cutting th Property Tax."
Now I ehould like tha privilege to
present a small part of th other
side of th question.
Th big proposition with us prop
erty owner 1 that our returns on
our property la so low that we are
positively unable to pay the taxes
aa they are today: we are faced by
the economic necessity of being forced
to cut our overhead expenses and
the taxes are the major part of them.
Somebody will have to suffer for thst;
we might Just as well face the propo-
altlon baldly that we do not want a
large part of what constitutes our
taxea; you leav th proposition of
what the property owner wants in the
way of what we are paying taxea for
up to the property owners themselves.
and we would aoon aolv that prob
lem.
Or Just give the property owner the
opportunity of governing the finan
cial returns on the property and they
would pay all the taxes that the pub
lic would ask for.
The property owner la faced with
a proposition of having hla property
confiscated for taxea and this meas
ure I only one item of his fight to
retain hla Interest.
Another Item of Interest 1 that,
for the person who Is trying to get
himself out of the clasa of the poverty
stricken by the accumulation of prop
erty, the tax burden on such efforts
Is so heavy that It becoiuoa prac
tically an Impossible proposition,
when you consider that taxes tske
from a third to over all that a prop
erty will produce In the way of reve
nue, then why own any of It at ail.
Wfl would be far better off to apend
an w make a we make It and let
tha public feed us when we make
nothing.
Thla la only part of th argument
for tax reduction, but enough for the
present.
Thank you,
