S.! - Save Our Streets! k QUARTER of t century ago quite s gpell, the enterpris ing little city of Medford, rolled up its pants and decided to pull the struggling community out of the mud. It did just that to the tune of approximately a million dollars. Main street which wag then a quagmire for wagon hubs, was transformed in a few months, to a smooth paved street, of solid and durable construction, and over 30 miles of other city streets, were paved, in like manner. IT wag tremendous job. And as the "red-apple" boom burst, before it waa completed, it proved to be a difficult one. But by cuttings corners here, and saving there, particularly by placing a lighter, less durable, and therefore less expensive paving, on many of the side streets, the task was done, and great was the rejoicing thereof. Medford was proud of itself, and the state was proud of Medford. e -TVER since that time Medford has been known as "the big- gest little city on the coast" and making allowances for the customary ebullience of local pride, the title was justified then, and has with a few minor lapses been justified ever since. 'I 'HE time haa come now, however, for the people of Medford to decide, whether they are going to protect that million dollar investment, or let it go by the board and be written off as a TOTAL loss. For pavement even good pavement doesn't last forever. And light pavement doesn't last without repairs for 25 yeara. Concerning the latter, there are today large sections on Easl Jackson, West 6th and 10th; North Beatty, Minnesota, Slier man; West 10th, South Orange, and other streets which are on the verge of complete destruction, and unless extensive repairs are promptly made, they will be a total loss. They are not only in disgraceful shape, rendering any normal motor traffic im possible; they are positively dangerous to life and limb, and may at any time be the cause of damage suits against the city. I TNDER such conditions, the city council has wisely decided to make these imperative repairs. But this can't be done without funds. And funds can only be supplied by a vote of the people. So an election has been called for June 18th. when this important question will be decided. This paper is quite aware of the natural prejudice against any mora bond issues however creases however slight. But we are also convinced study this problem, secure all ness of the situation and the city's present financial ability to meet it, the two proposals offered by the council will be en dorsed by an overwhelming majority. For with such information it under circumstances which exist, NO OTHER WAY. Medford's million dollar paving investment CAN'T be saved, the streets CAN'T be put in condition for safe local traffic, without spending money, and no money can be Becurcd unless the voters sanction it. The old imperative about facing, NOT a theory but a CONDITION, certainly holds, here. If any of our readers have any doubts, let them roam around the city streets for a while, and see that condition for them selves. And let it be remembered that while original street improvements are a lien against the property benefitted, main tenance is not. Maintenance is an obligation of the city as a whole. SO there's the set-up. Twenty-five years ago when Medford was smaller, and far less substantial than it is today, the citizens of that time pulled the city out of the mud to the tune of nearly a million dollars Haven't the people of this city today, enough of that SAME spirit, enough pride in their community, and sound business sense to raise through a period of years, $12n,000, about on.i per cent of that original investment to SAVE it. I We ara convinced they have. For unless this actioa is taken, Medford will not be worrying about poor pavements, it will be worrying about no pavements at all. It will not have to pay for maintenance, it will have, to pay for reconstruction NOT, one percent of the original investment, but at present costs about 150. All that is needed, aa we see it, is for the city council between now and June 18th, to put all their cards on the table and give the people all the figures and the focts. It's one of those things that. MUST be done and Medford must do it. Poverty and Peace RErORTS on war prospects vary with almost every breeze that wafts its way across the Atlantic and sweeps our shore. The latest word on the subject has been uttered by Prime Minister Baldwin of Great Britain, who is alarmed. The international situation, he says, is "difficult and even menae ing." Britain, to be on the safe side, has started a $7,500,000,01 H defense program. Much more encouraging news comes, however, from thos who have made an exhaustive study of the general economic situation in Europe, particularly in Ciermany and Italy, around which the fears of war are centered. This news is heartening paradoxically, because it is BAD I Economically, Germany under the Nazi rule haa been going from bad to worse. Not only have its ordinary resources of foreign funds been practically exhausted, but in its efforts to rearm itself, keep its industries in operation and feed its people the Nazi regime hag been compelled to draw heavily upon the special reserve fund created for an ''emergency'' thronyh mob iluation of privately owned securitii'S Notwithstanding the rigid censorship, the denial of freedom of the press and of speech and the elaborate means adile.l to prevent knowledge of true conditions in Germany from beint: gained by the German people or the outside world, the suppres sion of the truth is becoming increasingly difficult. Dr. Paul Schellenbcrg, writing in "The Magazine of Wall Street," declares that "there are many jigns that great parts of the population are dissatisfied with the Hitler regime " John C. de Wilde, reporting for the Foreign Policy associiition on "Social Trends in the Third Reich," dec'nrcs that foreign nh servers in Germany, "fmd much more gruiubliug than fur small, and anymore tax in that if the people of the city the facts, both as to the serious will be clearly seen, there is, merly" and that an increased psychological and economia ten sion appears to have developed. The pinch of economic adversity also is being felt in Italy. While it continues and while the military prestige of the fascist powers are brought to a low level by reverses in Spain, the dangers of war remain hearteningly remote. R. S.

TO THE MAJORITY OF MEN Cardiovascular degeneration covers a good deal of pathology arterio sclerosis, apoplexy, enlargement and muscular Impair- m e n t of the heart, chronic nephritis, angina pectoris, cardiac thrombosis and other Interesting denouements. Yes. yes, I am mindful of the fact that this ts health column, yet a good work ing knowledge of personal hygiene. involve recogni tion of the fact that death cornea to me majority of men thru the Dortnl of cardiovascular degeneration. If life begins at forty for some men, others. aa we find by health aaay. begin to aie ai tnirty-rive. For Instance, In a tabulation of a group of 774 male i,.Ca,i in mrge cunic 20 per ue.ifc, wore 10 una to have developed arterlosclerosla before the age of forty, and 703 female patients lew man 1 per cent had developed arterl oscel reals before the age of forty. The tabulation was made several years ago before women began to smoke and drink aa many women do today; prob ably a tabulation now would show a larger proportion of women beginning before forty to die. The "high tension" under which American business men like to flat ter themselves they live Is actually eating too much, sitting too much, smoking and drinking. The "killing pace" of American life Is 60 to 90 miles an hour. The atreas and strain of heavy business responsibilities la a lot of hooey, the "big businessman" Inflated with a sence of his own im portance, trying to get by without even a vicarious reaction to the flght-or-fllght emotions Involved In his un natural mode of existence.

Electric Motor Repairs are better at Gage Motor Service Comment on the Day s News By FRANK JENKINS IN 1S36, only S3 miles of new rail road were built. In the same year, 1533 miles were ABANDONED. 1S36 was the fifth consecutive year in which abandonment of railroad trackage haa exceeded 1400 miles. (The figures are for the entire United States. It looks as If the days of bultdlne psper railroads (once a promising In d us try in nearly every community) are definitely over. THIS doesn't mean, of course, that the railroads are slipping as car riers of freight and passengers. Whst it does mean la that we are nearlng completion of an adequate (aa to mileage) railroad system In this country. New railroad capital Is now going Into better, shorter and atralgbter roadbeds, more efficient terminals, more double-tracking and more efficient equipment. The pioneering days of railroading are about over. ft ERE are some Interesting figures as to air transport: In the ten years Just past, the number of passengers carried has In creased 190 times, poundage of ex press carried has Incressed over 1.000 times and poundage of airmail car rled has increased 40 times. It is Interesting to note that trans port of express by air has increased more than five times as fast as trans port of passengers. HnHLS latter statement proves not only that we want to get where we want to go In a hurry but that we want what we want In an even greater hurry. IF you read the papers carefully, you mint have nnt.lttWi fasw Hfiva atr.i that registration of automobiles in this country haa Just passed the 38 MILLION mark. That's getting surprisingly close to sn average of ONE automobile for EACH family In the United States. Already, If we loaded five persons Into each car, we could transport the entire population of the United States from one place to another ALL AT ONCE. WE hear a lot about how BAD iVtnrl I Hnn hnvs ont. for th average man In the United States. Well, maybe so. But a country that has been able to provide an average of one automobile .for ap proximately each family hasn't done so badly by its people. At least, tt has done better than any country ever did before. Communications What Is Bigotry? To the Editor: This la a brief reply to your editor ai of the 17th Inst, on "Bigotry".
