The Cull Pear Problem IT ia unfortunate more people don't visit our fruit packing houses, wbon they are in full operation, as is the case at the present time. It is really a most interesting and stimulating spectacle. In fact instead of staging a pear BLOSSOM festival, we feel a pear PACKING festival, would arouse more public interest and be more worth while. AFTER all pear blossoms are Rut. we Hnuhf. if nnvwhore see a more inspiring picture activity, than is presented in the local packing houses, this week and next. The skill of the nimble-fingered packers, the ease and dispatch with which a steady stream of boxes, are filled, nailed up, weighed and marked, carried on the "endless chain", to cold ritornge or loading platform, is a sight to behold ! And the apparent joy the boys and girls take in their work, the spirit of cooperation and enthusiasm that prevails, are factors, that should not be overlooked. We don't believe there are of Medford who realize what a conducted industry they have Moreover the more outsiders a visit during the packing season, the better the sale of Christ mas boxes, would be. ' I 'jTERE is only one fly in the ointment, as far as we are concerned. That is the sight of a more or less steady stream of cull pears, being dumped into trucks, to be thrown haway, not to be used for anything, but merely left to rot and spread their freprance on the These peara, of course, are sumption, for stock feed, pear alcohol, or what have yout, as the pears sent to the New York market. Yet under the present set-up. they are not only a total loss, they are an added expense in trucking and labor. We understand experiments test the value of cull pears 0. S. C. lias oonduuted some tion of brandy as a pear by-product. In our judgment, nothing pear industry than the development of such a by-product mar ket, the transfer of tons and WRONG side to the RIGHT side In these days of keen competition, msss production, and small margins ot profit, the profitable utilization of cull pears, might well mean, as we view it, the difference between the operation of an industry at a profit, and a loss. Mayor Porter Resigns I7HEN we express regret, that the press of private business has compelled Mayor George Porter to resign, before the completion of his second term, we realize we express the senti ment of the entire community. George Porter has been a good mayor, public spirited, con scientious,' progressive and fair. Medford has indeed been fortunate, that n man of his energy and ability, has been willing to assume the duties of a more or less thankless job, for so long a time. Medford pays its public servants nothing, and is not back ward in its demands. Mayor Porter, however, can retire from public office, with the consciousness of a work well done, and the realization that while few citizens, perhaps, took the trouble to band him any bouquets DURING his administration, they appreciate now that it is dependable chief executive he The Old Lion TIIB bright bo.vs in the chaneellories of Europe seem to think tlinl. hv I'nneiM'tpr! ni'tinn of Ttalv. fiprmanv nnrl JartHll they can clmin the British lion.

It Is no skin off my knuckles. All of the parasites mentioned thrive on or In human hosts, though some of them can live on or In other hosts as well. Human parasites require human hosts and If their hosts desert them they quickly curl up and die or else or else they go to work. There Is a trait In human nature, or perhaps It Is a defect of develop ment, the persistence of a childhood weakness In adult life, that prsdls-posf- to parasitism. It accounts for the Indefinite disabilities of hun dreds of thousands of pensioners. It enables hundreds of thousands of Class B neurotics to live by their wits or rather by Imposing on the patience and tenderness of their hosts. The lure of parasitic existence too often outbalances the waning self respect In coses of cataract the pa tients reject operation on one pre text or another and wilfully drift along to a degree of blindness that renders them quite helpless.

Like the elders of other genera tions, they cannot keep from dwell ing on better days. They like to tell stories that give them opportunity to refer o nurses, governesses, tu tors, the fully equipped play rooms and of their brief stays at fashion able boarding schools. Hundreds of these youths now live In walk-ups or In one of the all alike cottages on some lost street of a suburb. They spend their days searching for Jobs they cannot ilnd.

Main Comment on the Day s News By FRAM4 JEN KIN 8 SENATOR Vandenburg, lot Michi gan (a Republican) says: "A -new coalition party com posed of Republicans and Demo crats opposed to President Roosevelt may emerge for the 1940 election." He adds: "Realignment Is Inevitable. , In deed, It ALREADY EXISTS." T HAT is true. 1 The real political alignment In thla country today Is New Dal and anti-New Deal. This alignment cuts squarely serosa old party lines. Large numbers of Democrats lie anti-New Deal and large numbers of Republicans are pro-New Deal. A new political fence, has been built cross-lots. W HY this new alignment? The New Deal, since the 1936 election, has NIW OBJECTIVES. It Is no longer ' an emergency set-up to end the depression. It now def initely seeks a NEW FORM OP GOV ERNMENT for the United State a new aystem In which Washington will be supreme among the states and the President supreme In Wash. Ington. Centralization of power la Its watchword. THAT Is the reason for the bitter I fight over supreme court reor ganization. Centralization- of power to the extent the New Deal alms at runs crosswise to the constitu tion. In order to achieve It, It will be necessary to get a supreme court that will rule as the New Dealers wish. THIS Is the new Issue: Shall we go on with a gov ernment of three Independent branches, legislative. Judicial and executive, each free In It own field, or shall we have a NEW FORM of government In which executive DOMINATES the legislative and the Judicial Thl Is the secondary Issue: Shall the federal government at Washington dominate the state gov ernments? npHlS new Issue will be fought out 1 first at the congressional elec tions net year. It will be fought out again at the Presidential elec tion In 1940. Aa Senator Vandenburg says, the realignment Is already under way. Democrat who believe we ahould go on with the system of govern ment that ha served us o well in the past are opposing the New Deal and Ita new objectives notable op ponents being those Democratic aen atora who led the fight to defeat the project to jacW the supreme court. Republics ns who support the form of government we have known in the psst find themselves In close kinship with these Democrats. OO PAR, thla realignment la con O cerned principally with the lead er.

He added about 700 names to vari ous "presientia; committees" yester day, but discovered there were still plenty of Democrats on the "out side."

There la nothing In the Wagner act permitting an employer to file a com plaint against labor. But now It is being suggested, very much off the record, of course, that the plant own er who believes In collective bargain ing with union representatives of a majority of hla workers haa an ent rance, albeit a highly unofficial one, Into the NLRB's deliberations. This private entrance has always been there, but this Is the first time that It has had a wlecome sign on it. This 1b it: When competing labor unions resort to "terroristic" meth ods to get members among the work era of auch an employer, thereby In terfering with buslnss, he may ap peal to the labor board. Informally. of course. All he has to do la to pick up the phone, call the nearest NLRB district director, complain that union orga nizers are bulldozing his employes and that such threats interfere with efficiency. This cry for help, when It comes from an employer sympathetic to col lective bargaining, will not fall on deaf ears. NLRB officials will call the rival union heads Into consulta tion, convince one or the other of them that an election should be held to determine which group has the majority of workers. This procedure has been followed In a number of cases already. It Is slated to be Increasingly employed with the growing Intensity of the C.I.O.-A.F.L. drives. A neat question arises for the so cial security board to settle. Is the oyster business agricultural or Industrial? Agricultural workers are excluded from the benefits of the social secur ity legislation, but the oystermen say this shouldn't prevent them from getting their old age pensions and unemployment Insurance. They say they aren't farmers. But, replies the opposition, you de pend on harvested crops, resulting from the planting of seed (which is true), and those who count their days in terms of seed time and har vest are certainly farmers.
