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.

er." a composition by Don Huckabee.
There was a large attendance a:

worship. Leo Taylor led the song
service, with Helen Power at the
piano and Don Huckabee at the or
gan; Ruth and Joyce Banish gave a
lovely duet. 1
Rev. Knotts then followed with an-:
other moving sermon.
The day was brought to a close with
a fellowship hour and welner roast
In the church parlors. Plans were
laid for a large delegation to attend

When we say that a tobacco is

. . . TOBACCO that is ripened in
the sunshine, then picked, leaf by
leaf, when fully ripe.
. . . TOBACCO that is cured just
right by the farmer flue -cured,
air-cured or sun-cured to seal in
its good aroma and flavor.
. . . TOBACCO that is aged and
mellowed in hogsheads or bales for
