EPII LURKS IN FAULTY The eltjr of Medford ti working under a handicap with lti present sewerage) system," It was announced by Chamber of Commerce officials today. "The poasJbilltjr of an epl demlo la always prevalent, but this can be remedied by a favorable vote on -December 4. which would author ize the building of a modern sewer age system. "Many other communities who were In a similar situation as Medford now finds Itself, have had epidemics," It was pointed out. The most recent outbreak of Intes tinal disease attributed to polluted water, caused by faulty sewage dis posal, occurred on the Warm Spring Indian agency during ttm winter or 1833 and 1033. Because of inaccur ate diagnosis of cases, It Is impossible to state exactly how many deaths and rases occurred. It Is believed, how ever, that there were ft total of about 123 typhoid fever cases, of which about 20 died. In January, 1033, ft group of jarmeis secured damages and an Injunction against the city of Baker for the dis charge of sewage Into Powder rlvo.- The city Is now completing a modern sewage treatment plant which will rectify the past insanitary condition. In 1026 a dairyman sued the city of La a r and e for damages because ty phoid fever, caused by city sewage having polluted an Irrigation dlU:h runnlug through his property. Tno court awarded damages to this dairy, man and the city constructed a mod ern sewage treatment plant soon aftor to rectify the pollution. In the Yakima valley In Washing ton, typhoid fever Is prevalent each year because sewage polluted Irriga tion water contaminates the wells of farms throughout the valley. Cities along the Yakima river discharge sew age Into the river. "As has been stated before, Med ford was fortunate that, an epldcm'-c did not break out here during tfcs warm summer weather, and the Chamber of Commerce officials con fidently hope that voters will elim inate the possibility of such an out break here by giving an overwhelm ing majority for the sewer bond Issue on December 4." it was said at tne Chamber of Commerce today.

Speaking from the topic "A Chal lenge to an Inevitable Consequence" at the local church of the Nazarene, Fred M. Weatherford, pas tor-evangelist, took his text from Ex: 32 26 "Who Is On the Lord's Side?" In part, the speaker said: "Meeting faces to the ministry of whom I shall one day have to give an accounting confers upon me a re sponBlblllty of grave concern. The clergyman la dealing with Immortal souls whose choices he hopes to as sist In bringing to them eternal life. "If I put the question up to you personally are you on Christ's side, what reply should you make? Re member this the field of decision Is limited. Then can only be one of two replies for or against. 'Ye can not serve two masters . . . ' 'He that Is not with me la against me ... "It Is little wonder that Christ urged the seeking of God as the first obligation of youth. That Is the most favorable time. It Is also the most useful time, for the child or young person has a life of service. He will, at the same time, escape the perils coincident with a life of sin. "I talked with ft man, I should Judge past 70 years, today, but his mind was so closed to responses In new ventures, that I am confident my appeal did not register. "The man who wards off the ap peal of Christ with the promise of 'by and by X will give attention to this matter' Is entrenching himself against God's favors. The promise of by and by la the thief of now, and the foundation for never. "To be on the Lord's side Is to re nounce and repudiate sin. It Is ft coming out from among the Ido laters. To be with Christ means the elimination of evil In one's life. "The text demands a declaration of choice 'Who ts on the Lord's side what Is your answer? The la sue of choosing sides resolves Itself to Christ and salvation versus self pleasing, with the soul peril conse quent upon being on the wrong side. Dlsnster Is directly In the path of him who heeds not the call of God. "If you respond to the challenge. as did the sons of Levi, you will be spared the humiliation of utter failure and remorse.
