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.

waa divided Into three main parts,

Hugged in appearance and vastly
different in traction and riding
comfort from any tiro of the past,
this new "mud and snow" tire
brings safe, dependable travel for
motorists under even the most
adverse road conditions of winter.
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.

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.

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
