Jones of the California Oregon Power company was elected chairman of the Medford Apprentice ship commission at Its organization meeting Monday afternoon. Maynard Bush of The Mall Trib une mechanical department was elected to represent the employe and James K. Hoey, engineer with Brill's Sheet Metal Works, the em ployer. L. A. Men titer, co-ordlnator of this work In Medford and di rector of all high school work done by apprentices, was chosen secre tary. The commission, appointed by the state body at Salem, decided to hold regular meetings monthly and special raeettngft when necessary. Mr. Mentzer reviewed briefly the new Oregon plan of apprenticeship as passed by the 1936 session of the legislature. He stated that this type of work originated In Roseburg in 1025 and In Oregon Is known as the "Roseburg Plan" and not the Jacksonville. Florida, Plan" as "so eloquently claimed in a recent ar ticle In the Reader's Digest." Most or the major towns In Oregon have now adopted this training program and have been carrying It along with other regular school work for many years. The principal change In the new act Is the provision for an ad visory apprenticeship board. Any boy or girl under 16 years of age may become an apprentice under one of three plans: Full time, part time or the co-operative part time. The latter plan In which the boy or girl works a full half day and attends school the other nan day was given most attention. By this method an employer, whether in a trade or business, may train boy or girl to fit Into his system If that person makes good he Is practically assured a place m tne world after graduation, it was env phaslzed. The purpose of tnls work is not to provide temporary Jobs for boys but to train them for the future. At school each boy must devote one hour dally to class work, known as Industrial relations work, or Instruc tion which will be of help on the Job or which Is closely related to his particular field. Some of the re lated work la show card writing. drawing and blue print reading, ahop mathematics, typing, safety first and first aid, study of state Industrial accident and labor laws and trade ethics. The new act provides also that an Indenture may be signed between employer and employe, an apprentice Identification card Issued and a craftsmanship diploma awarded at the completion of the contract. The new commission was unanimous In the endorsement of this work and pledged cooperation with Mr. Mentzer In carrying on the school program. A lint of boys now at work on Jobs follows: I. L.

Douglas county In financial support for candidates endorsed by the board struck a snag here last night when representatives of Douglas county clubs, at a special called meeting here. unanimously tabled the proposal for a levy of five cents per week for six weeks on all Town send club mem bers for a political campaign fund. Ray B. Compton, local attorney. president of Roseburg Townsend club No. 1, was given enthusiastic applause as he accused the state area board of "steam-roller" tactics and viola tion of the "spirit If not the repeated Instructions from headquarters." Calling attention to the fact that five of the seven men elected to the state area board are candidates for office, Compton declared "I am of the opinion that the Townsend move ment can only succeed when It is purged of self-appointed leaders with personal ambitions." Bonura Quits Holdout. CHICAGO, April 1. (p) J. Louis Comtskey, owner of the White Sx, announced today that Zeke Bonura, holdout first baseman, had reached an agreement with the club and would report to Manager Jimmy Dykes at Austin, Tex. E LBE TO MAN ROLL Although it Is expected that the Medford CCO district will lose few If any camps In the usual summer movements, companies are to be maintained at a strength of 1A7 men Instead of the former maximum of 300, It was stated at headquarters here today. Enrolled camp overhead atil be reduced to 31, Including the as sistant adviser, it was said. Summer camp movements are awaiting orders from the 0th corps area following the recent decree of President Roosevelt cancelling his pa vlous order lor a drastic reduction In the number of camps to be maintain- ed throughout the country, head quarters explained. Orders had btcn received for camp curtailment h?re It Is understood, when the d els1 on against Immediate reduction was an nounced. Under the cancelled limitation or der the Medford district was to suf fer a net loss of only two camps. It was understood. Under the revlsM plan, camps are to be eliminated gradually as projects already started are completed. "The president's decision contenv plates primarily the occupation of the present work projects with ths existing organisation of work com panies at a lower strength (157 men) to carry the current ECW program to completion, and looks forward Xt i gradual reduction in the total num ber as Individual work projects are completed," reads an order from the war department. "Few If any new projects will be authorized and the movements to re establish camps will be largely 11m' lted In purpose to the execution of tasks that can be undertaken only during the summer period," It continues. The ninth corps area wll continue to operate 333 work camps. Of this number, 145 will be occupied by ninth corps area companies; 10 by first corps area companies; 40 by secni corps area companies; 73 by ftfh corps area companies; 80 by slxb corps area companies, snd 38 by sev enth corps area companies. Twenty-fifth corps area companies now In the ninth corps area will be disbanded and their members assign ed to other fifth corps companies here, but whether or not this will affect any of the five fifth corps com panies In the Medford district Is not now known. Except for movements within this corps area no othar changes are scheduled. Name New Deputy SALEM, Aplrl l.(AP) Sheriff A. C. Burk named T. J.

This is what we tell them in the privacy of our home FREQUENTLY in our home in Kentucky, a guest to whom we have served Four Roses will ask us, "Why is Four Roses a blend?" This is what we tell themi There are three kinds of whiskey straight whiskey which is un blended; whiskey that's blended with neutral spirits; and a blend of straight whiskies and nothing but whiskey. Our family has been making whiskey for four generations. We've made it by every proper method. And we are convinced that the finest whiskey must be that third kind a blend oj straight American whiskies. That's exactly what Four Roses is. Several straight American whis kies and nothing but these whiskies go into Four Roses. While each is great by itself, each also has some particular virtue. One surpasses in its aroma, another in its flavor, an other in its body, another in its smoothness. Then we blend these whiskies with the knowledge of four genera tions guiding our hand so as to combine in one superlative whiskey the virtues of several great whiskies. That's why we believe you will like Four Roses will decide that Four Roses has come into your life to stay! 9UT fH RSES A blend of all straight, all American whiskies blended at only Frankfort inoxrt how Frankfort Distilleries, Incorporated, Louisville and Baltimore, makera of Four Rosea (94 proof), Tsui Jonej (95 proof), Old Oacar Tepper, Mattingly & Moore (both 90 proof) !l blendi of atraight whikie.
