r PAGE TWELVE) MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON". TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 18. 1936. NEFF EMPHASIZES "Thr can be no doubt that the prosperity of this community has bMn affected materially by the vari ous projects of the frderal govern ment," Attorney Porter J. Neff told the Medford Klvanis club at their noon luncheon Monday, while speak ing on "The New Deal In Jackson County." Taking the WPA. the PWA, the CCC. the RFC and other federal pro jects affecting the Rogue Hirer ts1 ley, Neff pointed out the advantages that have accrued to this district from them. The Reconstruction Finance cor poration, he said, has helped fruit growers and farmers very materially through loans. The Medford Crop Pro duction association loaned 1220.000 In 1034. and S3 16,000 last year, and up to the present time not a single loan has "gone sour." That has saved the most Important Industry, (fruit), In the Rogua River valley Neff told the Klwanlana. Up to the time of the advent of the Home Owners Loan corporation, It was almost Impossible for the man of moderate means to finance the building of a home. Interest rates were high, genially 13 to 14 per cent. The HOLC changed that, and made large amounts of money available at low Interest costs, and now has arranged for additional loans at a small rat of Interest, Neff suld. Ho also commended the work of the Civilian Conservation corps In get ting young men out of pauper-like existences, and giving them a chance to regain their morale, broken by the severest years of the depression. The rehabilitation of the Irrigation dis tricts, the putting to work of hund reds of men In this city and county under Works Progress administration, and the work done by the Public Works administration all combined to carry this part of the state through the depression In a favorable condi tion, Neff aftld. Guest at the meeting were 0. M. Hurd. Luther Deuel, Elmer Kyle and Robert Hart. 4 . K. F. Teacher Dies KLAMATH FALLS. Ore., Feb. 18.
