fEDFORD MAIL TRIBUTE, BEDFORD, OREGON. THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 1931 PAGE FIVE I 10 CLOSE DANCES AT No further action will be taken by the county court In the matter ot uniformity In dance closing hours In Jackson county. Commissioner R. E. Nealon aald yesterday, "because there Is nothing the county court can do." The county court endeavored to have all close at midnight, but dis covered It was up against aeveral legal stumpe. public opinion, state laws, and city ordinances. At one stage of the negotiations the county court considered the feasi bility of removing the lid and allow ing all to remain open until 3:00 o'clock in the morning, as do Jack sonville and Gold Hill. They dis covered here also that they were con fronted by the law and bonds. Jacksonville and Gold Hill are In- romorated towns, and the county tourt has no Jurisdiction. The Jack sonville dance has remained open until 2:00. Gold Hill recently re aumed the late hour dancea. In Med ford, and unincorporated towns, the closing hour la midnight. Beer re freshment parlors, with dance floors, stop dancing at midnight, but under the state law can sell beer until 1 :0O o'clock. Under these closing hours there la a rush to Jacksonville' and Gold Hill dances after midnight. The rush is not as terrific aa It used to be. as many ot the waiters linger where they are to lift the flowing bowl. . The Jacksonville council conferred with the county court, but finally voted that Inasmuch aa the Chamber of Commerce committee In charge of the dances, had hired the orchestra for August, nothing could be done until September. The same problem confronta the courts of other Oregon counties. It la probable that the next session of the legislature will be called upon t nasa a uniform dance closing hour law, and remove some of the conflicts In the present laws. that are made possible by Western Auto'a greateat August sale event la found In the tremendous response accorded the aale at the local store of the firm In this city, states C. J. Prltchett, manager. He says the event will continue through the balance of the month. "The popularity of Western Auto'a greatest August sale la well deserved," C. J. Prltchett asserted. "The regular prices of our gooda are very low, and motorists have learned that they aave money by trading at one of our stores. But during this month hundreds of these customarily low prices are re duced even further, offering as many extra savings to our patrons. "One of the main reasona that this event haa been so quickly and widely accepted la the confidence of our cua tomera In the honest valuea on which Western Auto's reputation has been built alnce Its founding, over 18 years ago." "Another Influencing factor la the rirm'a broad interpretation of the word 'service.' And every store haa been made a place where the cus tomer enjoya ahopplng lor hla auto motive needs. In speaking of the automotive and camping equipment which are being offered at lower prices, C. J. Prltchett pointed out that seat covers, Penn Supreme Pennsylvania oil. tenta and camping mattressea are Just a few of the many motoring and outing needs available. Clean-up materials, such as cleaners, polishes and car wax, may also be had at lower prices during this one-month sale. 173 AGE PEI ISSUE 28 STILL PENDING IS FILED BY D. A. The supreme court mandate In the appeal of Ted Halnea, former Bed Top district resident serving three years In state prison for a statutory offense Involving a 14-year-old girl, was for mally filed today by the district at torney office. Haines has been in state prison since last October. The high court mandate upholds the findings of Circuit Judge H. D. Norton, and overrulea the defense contention that errora were com mitted during the course of the trial. Brlefa In the case for the state were prepared by District Attorney George A. Codding and for the defense by Attorney Bawles Moore. The case aroused considerable In terest and feeling among Red Top district residents. The defense al leged that residents of the district had Induced one of Haines' bondsmen to withdraw, and that the attorney had received telephonic threats. GRANTS PASS, Aug. 23.

(AP) The International potlfttch started today with a colorful, barbaric pa rade in which Indiana, beautiful girls, Alaskan sourdoughs, wild-west gunmen, horses and dragons mingled In a wild Jamboree.

The stand ing thus far Is Ashland two wins. Medford one. This will be the last change for the championship that Medford will have. From all Indi cations during practices, the Medford team Is much stronger and shoud put up a very good fight for the title. AH boys who have turned out lor practices will have aa opportunity to play. Roy Walsh of the American Legion, who has been sponsoring the league, will be on hand to start the game. Jackson county, to date, according to the records of the county court, haa Issued 173 old age pension certifi cates, and 38 applications are held pending Investigation. Twelve ap plications have been granted, but are awaiting signing of reimbursement contracts, which the old age pension law requires. The average amount of the old age pension warrants Is between 111 and 113. The number of old age pensions granted is on a par with other Oregon counties, but the amount Is higher. The average monthly payments In a number of eastern Oregon and Willamette val ley counties Is slightly more than 8 per month. Total number of old age pension applications since January 1 . last. when the law went into effect, is 318. There has been rejected 105 ap plications, chiefly for lack of re quired length of residence in the state, below the age limit, or other sources of sufficient income. A num ber of inmates of the county poor farm have applied for the pension, and the requests were denied because of the present state of the county finances. The purpose of the law is to eventually do away with the poor farm, with Its attendant humiliation. Lillian E. Roberts, Red Cross aide and welfare worker, is now on her vacation, s soon as she returns the county court, acting aa a pension board, will take final action on pend ing applications. sea ielR ALASKA PLACER OPEN CENTRAL PL .17 girl's companion; ON AUTO RIDE IS HELD ASjLAYER (Continued from page one) The county school superintendent's office announced this morning that the central Point schools would open Monday.
