An ImportantConcention
TTIE announcement that Major General Oscar Westover will
attend tha Northwest Aviation Planning Council in Med-
ford, September 16 and 17, throw the national spotlight
upon this important aviation meeting. By virtue of his position
as chief of the United States Air Corps, Major General West-
over is a highly important figure in aviation circles of the
nation.
His presence and ACTIVE PARTICIPATION in the Coun
oil's sessions here will lend a vast amount of prestige to the
gathering; the very fact that the ranking officer of the air
service, with manifold duties and many calls upon his time,
will cross the continent to take part in the Northwest Aviation
Planning Council is evidence of the important place this organ
ization holds in western aviation affairs.
RESERVATIONS are already being received from other men
distinguished in the field of aviation in this country and
Canada. Among those who have indicated their intention of
coming to Medford is Joe Crosson, famed "mercy flier" of
Alaska. Reservation number one went to Dr. Raymond Straub,
Portland aviation enthusiast who has long advanced the cause
of Medford 's airbase ambitions.
Army and Navy officers, government officials, air line
executives, private fliers, fixed base operators and represen
tatives of northwestern and Canadian municipalities will be
here, according to word already received.
Members of the Northwest Aviation Planning Council and
the local committee have good reason to feel elated over this
early manifestation of interest.
Medford, with the good fortune to play host to this im
portant group, will have an excellent opportunity to extend
her best rand of hospitality and show off, with pardonable
pride, her fine municipal airport.

By trill ut Perry,
A Washington state congressman,
lull of campmeeting seal for the
)ew Deal, attributed th larg, um
ef federal money ehowered on hi,
constituency "to the friendliness of
the congressional delegation, to the
Administration." and "because the
president's daughter live. In Seattle."
The statesman forgot to round-up
the mother ot by reporting the
president', grandchildren Slstle and
Burxte alto reside In Seattle, and,

' wild oracks are on a par with the
claim of the Oregon gubernatorial
nominee, who Intimated federal aid
would stop at the state line unless
be was elected. They also ranx witn

(Chltnqiiln Rerlrwl)
'The old swimming hole north
of Port Klamath Is enjoying a
good deal of attention during
these warm days. Many local men
who are tied down to a Job, or
something, like to dream about
retting sway to the old swim
ming hole these kind of days."
The politicians are becoming home
spun, and of the earth, earthy. A

If , rival sppears at a political rally
wearing no orks. the candidate will

T DOES not take a military expert to recognize Medford's
highly strategic place on the air mnp of the nation. This
city likewise enjoys an enviable place in the commercial and
civilian nvintion picture of the west const.
Aviation is taking its place in the sun with intrepid trail
bla.ers-liko Lindbergh, Post and Hughes charting the skyways
which giant commercial planes soon will follow on routine
schedule. Rogular as clockwork, the great Clippers traverse the
vast stretches of the Caribbean and the Pacific; permanent
air lines, which will bring Europe within a day's sky journey
of America, will soon become a reality.
Howard Hughes' flashing sweep around the globe is a
significant herald of a not distant day when the entire world
will be linked with highways of the sky; commuting time will
be reduced to hours I
It is a sober reflection that this progress will bring with
it the end of America's fortunate isolation; the Atlantic and
Pacifio will cease to bo the barriers against possible intrusion
Air defense MUST keep pace with the breath-tuking progress
of aviation 1
A. ND SO, with the Northwest Aviation Planning Council
taking an active part in this fast advancing movement.
Medford is indeed fortunate in her solection as the convention
city this fall.
Those who are a FORCE in aviation will have the oppor
tunity of SEEING MEDFORD 'S AIRPORT; the cause of this
city in her effort for greater recognition will unquestionably
be furthered.
It is our hope that the committee's optimistic predictions
of a highly successful session will be fulfilled. Every indication
points that way. The program has been well planned; a gen
erous measure of entertainment has not been overlooked and
Medford people, alive to their responsibilities and opportun
ities, will extend their warmest hospitality.
And the next time that the Northwest Aviation Planning
Council selects Medford as a convention city, this city's super
air base MAY bo ready for their inspection I

Playing tennis, baseball, aoftball,
gou, lawn bowls, basketball, cro
quet, roque, horseshoes or any actual
game you can play.
The vicarious excitement of spec
tators at the football or baseball
game often brings death to the old
offender whose heart and arteries
can no longer stand the strain. To
be sure, sometimes a man dies sud
denly while playing golf or lawn
bowls or horseshoes. Still, there are
more fatalities In the grandstand
than on the playing field. . How
much of the "nervousness" of Ameri
cans Is due to the prevalence of
spectatorltis among people of se
dentary habit, one can only conjec
ture. For honest working people, that
is, men and women who do get a
reasonable amount of exercise dally,
sport, especially open air sport, Is
a healthful diversion. For them an
afternoon In the bleachers or even
in the covered grandstand helps to
maintain a well-balanced metabol
ism. For white collar folk, executives,
professional and other workers whose
occupation Involves little or no mus
cle work, sport as such la bad medi
cine. There should be a game for
every such slacker, parasite, soldier
or "brain worker" as It is humor
ously called, and every player active
in nla game, no matter whether It
be figure skating, tap dancing or
bowling on the village green.
Unfortunately for the peace and
welfare of America very few Ameri
can readers will comprehend what
bowling on the green means, altho
the ancient game of bowls Is fairly
popular In Canadian towns and vil
lages, a few northern communities
and tip and down the west coast of
the United States. It Is the game
that held Sir Francis Drake from
rushing to meet the invincible ar
mada. It la played on a perfectly
level close-cropped green or lawn
43 yards square, with bowls built
with a bias so that they roll In a
curve, a set of four bowls costing
usually less than $30 and lasting a
lifetime or several lifetimes. A frame
may be played between single play
ers, teams of two, triplet or rinks,
that is, four players on a side. Sin
gle or doubles bowl with four bowls
for each player; rinks with two
bowls for each player. Each bowler
endeavors to gauge the speed and
the curve or arc of his shot the
curve varies Inversely with the speed
to stop the bowl at the precise
point on the green where he wishes
to place It. In tenptna or alley
bowling perfect games are possible
In lawn bowling perfection Is practi
cally Inconceivable and the unfatl
Ing fascination of the game Ilea not
only in the lively, sociable competi
tive spirit It engenders, but also In
the constant endeavor to roll
perfect game, a perfect end, even
a perfect shot.

green and the game Itself consult

Townsend a Moses
To the editor:
In your issue of July 33 of the
Mall Tribune you have an editorial
asking for a Moses to lead ia out
of thta wilderness of "relief" etJ..
etc. Let's take in the whole depres
sion, recession, etc., while we am
at It.
Wo think of Moscji (now that nls
efforts are away in the past)
the greatest leader and law makjr
that the world has ever known. H
was one of a people In bondage,
terribly persecuted and needing a
lender: he found the remedy and
saved his people.
Have vou ever stopped to think
who and what Moses was before he
performed his great act?
At 40 years of age he was a fugitive
from Justice, fleeing Into a foreign
country; saw a couple of girls thht
he Rot stuck on and for the next 40
years he herded sheep for their
daddy. A very humble position In
deed, but an honorable ,one and
strictly honest.
Do you think that when ha came
forth with h'a message that he was
immediately popular or quickly able
to put his proposition over; and
e en when he "crossed the Red sea"
It was physically impossible for him
to lead over more than a handful
In the time he had and over the
con n try he crossed .
I want to tell you that we have
such a "Moses" aa you apeak of and
he tells us how to accomplish the
relief" you mention and already
has a wonderful organization with
millions of followers to put his plan
over. I speak of none other than the
well known Dr. Francis E. Townsend
all his life only a very humble
country family physician.
There la no reason why you should
not be thoroughly familiar with his
whole set-up as there la plenty .f
literature on his plan and plenty
of activity In his organlratlon to
make hla effort very interesting to
follow.
I know his plan is not very pop
ular with a large class of people
who are In the habit of clawing his
following as a bunch of down and
out old fossils Just waiting arouint
for their "MOO per month.
fh answer to that let me tell yu
what 1 saw at the recent national
Townvnd convention: six thousand
registered voting delegates from every
state in the. union, using the Roaslyn
hotel of Los Ancrlea aa their official
headquarters and filling every room
at 4 per day, and most of thoer
staying there being wealthy business
men whose appearance In the lobby
was a credit to that five million
dollar tuwtetry. j
I saw plenty of governors, senators.
congressmen, as well as very Intelll
e.Mit looking bustness men very much
interested In the convention proceedings.

long that you would not print it.

Unfortunate. Unavoidable
To ths Editor:
In your Issue of June 37 you take
the position that ths circus workers
would Have acted in Una with "en
lightened self-Interest" had H ey ac
cepted a 36 per cent wage out and
thereby kept the show running. But
aa you have often pointed out, there
are two sides to every controversy,
and this Is an attempt to explain the
other aide the side of labor
According to a close reader of "La
bor," the paper of the rail unions,
tiis circus was not losing money. It
was not making enough. A 36 per
cent cut In wages would do the trick.
This was offered; the alternative:
close up. Labor offered to compromise
10 per cent reduction. It was
turned down. A deadlock. Result,
much capital turned Into liability
ceased to be.
This Is unfortunate Indeed, but so
long as capital Is privately owned. It
is unavoidable. Making a Ion-ran se
view: to agree to a wage cut would
produce a trend In the wrong dlreo
tlon. Wage cuts mean lower standard
tionary. Lower standard la defensible
tlonary. Lower standard is definsible
only when the productivity of labor
is lowered.
Labor productivity, thanka to im
provement in the technic of produc
tion, la increasing and by leaps.
But not so, the standard of living,
ft is the function of a government,
especially by, of and for Hie people.
to see to It that ths living standards
of the people, are raised In keeping
,with their capacity to produce. With
the exception of Russia, this Im
portant function Is everywhere neg
lected. It is the cause of world un
rest and la quite likely to make the
world a shambles. It Is doing that
now in Spain and in China. Tiie his
tory described by Elliot Paul in his
Life and Death of a Spanish Town.'
may be repeated in all other towns
throughout the capitalistic world. If
consumption does not come more
abreast with the capacity to produce.
lADor unions work In the direc
tion of Improved standards: accord
ingly they should everywhere be en
couraged. It does not follow as you
say, "if private business fails" (it Is
rapidly becoming non-existent) "or
ganized labor fails." On tlie con
trary it may carry on the productive
processes for social ends rther than
private ends as now obtains.
This is the solution of the circus
problem. The government should
function in this direction see to it
that circus capital Is not destroyed,
living standard of the workera main
tained or bettered and the public
given their entertainment.

The
Capital
Parade
(Continued from Page Ons )
By FRANK JENKINS
WHEN Herbert Hoover was working
his way through Stanford Uni
versity, he and another .youth started
a lecture bureau. They did pretty
well at the beginning, netting some
$200 on their first two affairs.
So, feeling a little cocky, they took
on Paderewskl, guaranteeing him
8760.
FOR some reason Paderewakl didn't
click on that particular occa
sion, and ih total take for the
concert was only $430; which left
the two young promoters facing a
major economic crisis.
They hied themselves to the hotel
where the great pianist and his man
ager were staying and went Into a
heavy conference with the manager,
their purpose being to Induce him
to accept $630 In cash, and their
note for the remaining $130.
HE couldn't see eye to eye with
them In this matter, and the
discussion became so warm aa to
attract the attention of Paderewskl
himself, who was in the adjoining
room. He Joined the party, and ques
tioned the youthful enterprisers min
utely, pinning them down to tha
exact amount of their gross receipts.
When he learned that the total was
$430 and some odd cents, hs smiled
and told them: "Well, that will be
