RETAORADEHIT HISTORICAL DATA mm WPA Complete Catalogue of All Historical Records, Loca tion and Extent Will Be Made Available to Public A complete checkup of all types of historical records Is being made In Jackson county In connection with a survey beng conducted In every coun ty In the United States, The work la being done under the WPA Orgon writers' project and will result In & complete catalogue of all historical records In existence, where they may be found and their extent, con dition, etc. Denh Alfred Powers of the Univer sity of Oregon Is directing the work in this state and Alfred Segsworth of Ashland is In charge of the Jackson county activities. Segsworth Is being assisted at present by Verne Bright, who travels over the state siding local workers for short periods as a rep-1 resentatlve of Portland headquarters. Gain Much Information Those employed In the project make an exhaustive search of all old files, Including county, city, organisa tion, Individual family and other types of data. Much valuable and In teresting information hitherto un known or forgotten concerning early Oregon pioneers and their activities has been recovered by this project. Many official records In the stale, according to Bright, havo boon found In very bnd condition, insufficiently , protected against fire and theft or in- efricilently filed, facta which might eventually lead to their permanent toss or destruction. Project workers make an effort to Induce better care of the flics and more complete rec ords. Each record Inspected Is reported to Portland headquarters, with complete Information ns to title, department, dates end number of volumes, de scription of contents, nature of re cording, condition and other perti nent facts. Following completion of the surveys, the records will be Bum mart red and compiled Into complete catalogue indexes, to be published and placed In libraries, stato offices and other official flics. New Names Added Many new names and Incidents have Already been added to previous knowledge of early Oregon history and a number of puzzling points cleared up. Expectations are for the acquisi tion of much additional material be fore the work Is completed. Similar work is being done through out the nation, the project having been started last March. Workers are drawn from the higher education brackets, most of them being college graduates. Records Inspected Include Informa tion concerning births, deaths, mar rlnges. law enforcement, early gov ernment, ttrowth of Oregon cities and towat, arrivals and departures, in ventiona, roads, institutions, elec tions, official reports, finances, fran chises. Agreements, contracts and much other data of historical sig nificance. Outside of the general Information being added to public files, the com pleted catalogue will present to his torians or individuals seeking Infor mation a list of all records available and where they may be found for more detailed study or research.

(AP) Dun & Bradstreet said today that retail trade continued In the post week to show the effects of the mari time strike and unseasonable weather, although most divisions held a 10 to IS per cent Increase over 1036. "The expense resultant of the ne cessity of having to transfer by rail to Canadian ports for sea shipment Is causing considerable loss to pear and apple growers" the report said. "Vegetable and fruit cannera also are suffering materially from the marine strike, a large portion of thts year's pack remaining in storage awaiting for both foreign and coastwise ship ping facilities. - This big new Radio is a 1937 RCA Victor-with MAGIC BRAIN-MAGIC EYE METAL ?pjl059M You'll be ihe envy of your neighbors . with ihle great radio.
