E FRUIIEN LEAGUE (Continued irom Page One) The moat Important statement made by Professor Hartman was the fact that the condition of the fruit of 1034 was the worst he had seen In tx years, and due to over-ripeness, the damage to d'AnJous and Cornice pears was very evident. Boscs, said Professor Hartman. did not ripen properly, and broke down, which he tated waa due to Improper storage and transit conditions. Many shippers did deliver their fruit In a full marketable condition, but he declared It la Imperative that storage temperature be brought down during future seasons. Sales of Hoses In 1034 received a severe setback and It will bt neces sary to start over vgaln to regain what was lost this winter, he stated. According to ProieMor Hartman Boscs were In disrepute and during the month of November, fifty per cent of the eastern retailers went off Bosoa and turned to other varieties due to the losses which they had sustained. Another Important statement by Professor Hartmiin was that compe tition In all markets was very severe and unexpected. Odd varieties were a considerable factor this winter. In cluding citrus fruit from Florida, during the month of November. Prlcea for citrus fruits were low and other fruit found It necessarily hard to find a satisfactory price level. An unexpected situation this win ter was the Importation and sale of Spanish grapes. In addition to the normal grape supply from California, said professor Hartman. In presenting his observations of the pear market, professor Hartman did not necessarily refer to the Med ford pear alone, but Included the whole Pacific northwest. He outlined In detail a ripening program fot Boscs and stated that M'dford ship pern were largely following the prop er procedure. Again let me urge the citizens of Med ford who drive cars to take every possible precaution In eliminating the hazards of driving. The tremen dous loss of life and property through motor accidents should be substan tially reduced during 1035 and this may be effected If motorists will take necessary and sensible precautions In behalf of themselves, aa well as the general public. The people of every wlde-awnke community are becoming "safety con scious." The "Let's Quit Killing" campaign Is gaining Impetus by leaps and bounds. I wish to take this opportunity to urge every motorist to carefully read the ten command ments of safe driving, as announced by the Portland Junior Chamber or Commerce In today's Msll Tribune. A close adherence to these principles of sane, sensible driving will result In less accidents during 103ft. The police and traffic officials of Med ford will bend their efforts to' ward making a record for thla city In this country-wide aafety drive. The necessary cooperation of every citizen who drives a car Is requested. wish to take this opportunity to point out that It will be Impossible for me to personally Intercede in any arrests resulting from traffic violations, as full authority for ac tion has been given to officers and I feel that Interference will only lessen the effect of Mcdford'a cam paign for safer driving. Th amtanrilri nnonn ration nlreadv given to this campaign by the citi zens of Medford Is commendable and appreciated.

Developed by Firestone Tire & Rubber Company engineers, the scientific design provides easy steer ing, maximum traction in snow oi mud, and smooth riding on paved streets and highways. This tire if ideal for motorists who drive ovei unimproved roads part of the time especially in winter. For the drivei who wants maximum protection against skidding in city or country, the new tire has many advantages over chains, in riding comfort and in protection from side slips. Greater traction pulls it through mud holes and snow drifts. This tire is of heavy duty construction, and is made in passenger car sizes onlv.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Jan. 19. (AP) Alone, as In life, Lloyd Hamilton, veteran comedian of the screen, died suddenly last night after an opera tion for a stomach disorder. Not only were scores of his friends unaware of his passing until they read their newspupers today, but few had even known he was ill. Always a lcnely. solitary figure in the bustl ing movie colony. Hamilton had prac tically dropped from sight in the last few months. Even in the riayB, long ago, when studio box office ledgers showed him to be the most popular comedian on the screen. Hamilton spent most of his time alone. And so today, his associates ob served that it waa t yplcal of him to have suffered a severe Illness, and to have come to the end of his life without many of the persons he knew In Hollywood, knowing of It, He was tall, pudgy, bnby faced. He seldom smiled In his pictures, took the role of the "goat." and seemed to prefer it in his life off screen. His little checkered cap. perched perilously atop his big head, became almost as famous as Chaplin's over sized shoes. Recently Hamilton essayed a "comeback," but misfortune, in the form of a broken leg. Interfered. Shortly after he left the hospital, he fell and broke the other leg. Critics observed that there was as much pathos in his fun making as farce, and declared that Hamilton's pictures usually spilt even the fine line between comedy and tragedy. Empty stomachs are dangerous things. By Cvrll Sunder We have looked the new Plymouth over thoroughly and we found the seats much roomier than they were last year. One of the Improvements which especially instrested us was the way the body was mounted to the frame. These new cars. Instead of being bolted Just to the top of the frame are now set down around the frame and bolted from both the top and sides. Besides making the car safer and stronger thla improve ment has also made It much easier to enter because the floor and run nlna bonrd are oti approximately the I .cam level. Twn other lmorovementa are Its exceptional ease of steering and its clear vision ventilation. Osa Mall Trioune want ads The new Standard Chevrolet is now in Medford. It's Hues are almost identical to last year's Master Chev rolet, except that of course they are slightly smaller. There is a wide range of body models to choose from Including a coupe, a coach, a four dcor sedan, a roadster, and a phae ton. This year's car is equipped with a new engine which givea a 25 per cent Increase In power throughout Its entire speed range, but It also gives an increased gaso line mileage. It also has Fisher no draft ventilation and a conventional front axle. Tills year's Ford has made several definite steps forward In contribut ing to the comfort of passengers. (Continued on Page Five.) He spoke briefly on the collapse of the auction control program and the California control plan for Bart letta. In closing he offered three sug gestions which he felt should be fol lowed In developing new markets: First, get fruit at destination In proper condition. Second, keep fruit on the market until the public starts to take It. Third, control the auction so an not .to break the market. Professor Hartman stated that al though there were dlcouraglng fea tures In his trip the last fall, he wan optimistic regarding the future and believed the Medford dlntrlct prob lems could all be worked out. espe cially the matter of controlling ship ments to market.
