"Governor Martin ahould be re
elected because his administration
has been free from political consid
eration: because he haa reduced taxes
to the people In introducing rigid
economy In every department of the
state and at the same time raised the
efficiency of departmental service to
the people; because he has fearlessly
vetoed legislation Inimical to the In
terest of the whole people and spon
sored only that which wss beneficial
and needed.
"There are In Oregon more than
100 chambers of commerce advertis
ing Oregon's resources snd other ad
vantages at an annual expense run
ning Into thousands of dollars. In
the turbulant labor troubles all over
the United flutes during the past
year, Governor Martin has been an
outstanding and commanding figure
In punishing sabotage, goon activities
and labor racketeering. His forthright
stand for law and order have made
of htm a national figure. Oregon,
through his fearless enforcement of
law, has been nationally advertised
as a state where law and order will be
maintained and where property and
the rights of the citizen receive the
protection of the strong arm of the
low.
"His defeat In the coming cam
paign would broadly advertise Oregon
as a state given over to subversive
Interests and Its people as unapprecl
atlve of sound and economical government."

PRESENT PLAYS IN
EXTENSION FIESTA
With an evening program of mral
dramatic given by local granges at
the high school auditorium here Sat
urday evening, celebration of twenty
year of work in the extension aerv.ee
for Jackson county was compictra.
Dramatic have become an essential
in the adult education program of
fered by the Oregon State college,
and the three one-act plays presented
were a fitting climax to the anniver
sary celebration.
"The Tooter," given by six Talent
men. proved to be a court room scene
In which Frank Reed se Hyoais Bip
wlgle, waa being tried for offenses
with his saxophone. Even though
the annoyances of a player who con
stantly tooted only a couple qf notes
the year around were aennneiy
nroved. Judge Raphammer, played b;
Tom Bell, acquitted the defendant
on the grounds of originality of his
instrument. However, the ardent
saxaphone player unwittingly admit
ted having given the judges aaugn
ter music lessons in the past, at
which the Judge Immediately an
nounced conviction and a stiff sen
tence. Stanley Robbios and Harry
Weagant represented the attorneys
with Will Thatcher as the plaintiff,
and Kenton Robbing as the witness
and village simpleton. The play was
directed by Mra. Florence Hartley.
Central Point's comedy, 'Taking
Father's Place," had the blunders of
a conceited college graduate attempt
ing to run his father's office as Its
central subject. The role of Chas.
Edwards, Jr., the new manager, was
played by Donald Smith. His down
fall came when his obedient stenog
rapher (Dorothea Hedgepath) made
a literal transcription of his letter
dictated to an important client in
which he refused to fulfill a valuable
order.
The irate client (Ralph Van Zyl)
appeared on the Bcene, followed by
Mr. Edward'a parent (Delmar Smith
and Gertrude Hammond) to demand
an explanation of the strange pro
cedure In business. Edwin Gebhard
gave a natural portrayal of the office
errand boy, an did Harold Smith as
an employe. Miss Freda Young por
trayed the Incidental role of a book
agent In a capable manner. Mrs.
Gene Blackford directed the comedy..
The humorous yot almost pathetic
doings of a family of 'tedi age young-
ters formed the plot of "Orvllte'a Big
Date", presented by Bellvlew grange
and directed by Mrs. Edwin Dunn.
Sixteen year old Orvllle (Jack Wil
liams), not yet awakened to the fine
arts of good grooming, became the
despair of hi eaters and the hired
girl when they overheard his tele
phone conversation and believed him
to have made hi first date with an
Important girl In the town.
Mama Byrd and Eunice KlncaJd
played the role of the sisters, with
Rosemary Bell aa the hired girl.
A. pleasing variation In the. eve
ning's entertainment wss supplied In
selections by the Medford Junior
symphony orchestra, directed by John
Knight. Vocal solos by MUs Eleanore
Poffenbarger and dance numbers by
Misses Carole Haines and Gloria
Wemmer were much appreciated.
Henry Niedermeyer, president of the
recreation club, which sponsored the
plays presided during the evening.
