Park Bond Issue
FORUM
Progressive Step
To the Editor:
Every one of us has come
to Medford because of the ad
vantages which we find here
The climate has been God-given
but all the rest has been man
planned and man-made. Our
schools, our water, our business
advantages, our type of citizen
ship all stem from the Medford
of 30 years ago. We have been
content to cash in on the good
judgment and energy of the past
but with two such energetic and
forcward looking communities
as Ashland and Grants Pass,
both of which far surpass Med
ford in natural beauty and ad
vantages, it is imperative that
we start our plans not alone to
make Medford a better place a
third of a century hence but lo
assure that it docs not become
a ghost town during our own
lifetime.
Medford while most fortunate
regarding its long range attrac
tions is singularly lacking in
every type of municipal recrea
tional facility. There is not an
other city of our size up and
down the Pacific Highway
which has so little to offer the
tourist and the citizen in parks,
swimming facilities, boating,
band conceits, shaded walks,
and all of those things which
visitors enjoy and write about
to their friends urging them not
to pass by "Medford, such a
bully place for a vacation."
I have seen Medford grow
from a muddy village to its
present eminence and I know,
and you know also, that no
pinch-penny policy based upon
fear and shortsightedness is re
sponsible for that growth. Med
ford in the past has always been
the despair of less progressive
communities and we must not
allow ourselves to be diverted
from that leadership now.
It is imperative that every
forward looking citizen make it
his and her pleasant duty to as
sure a large favorable vote for
the park bonds.
Leonard Carpenter.
Site Value Appraised.
To the Editor:
Because I am heartily in favor
of the Medford park bond issue,
which will be decided by voters
of this city next Tuesday, I feel
that certain facts should be clari
fied. There has been some misun
derstanding as to the actual
value of the Olds tract which
has been selected for the pro
posed park development. This
property consists of 17 acres,
situated east of Bear creek be
tween Main and Jackson streets
and included the old railroad
station and the three houses
which face Main street between
the bridge and the Texaco ser
vice station.
Before the park project was
undertaken an appraisal of this
property was made by (bur repu
table real estate firms I3rown
& White, Mark A. Goldy. Real
Estate Exchange and Eavl Tumv.
PLUS a valuation placed by the
Jackson county assessor. These
appraisals averaged in excess of
the purchase price that will he
accepted by the Olds estate
$20,000. These appraisals are a
matter of record.
I am, reliably informed that
such procedure would be fol
lowed should this city seek to
acquire this property through
condemnation proceedings. Con
trary to some rumors I have
heard, this property has NOT
been available at a lower figure.
This city, in fact, attempted to
purchase this same property in
1930 at a purchase price of
$30,000.
Cleaning, widening and deep
ening the Bear creek channel
in recent years has eliminated
the previous danger of floods..
Landscape experts have pro
nounced the property Ideally
adapted to the development of
such a park and recreational
center as is now proposed.
I offer these facts in the hope
that they will clarify in the
minds of Medford voters certain
questions which have been
brought to my attention during
the past ten days.
Roland A. Hubbard.
Park Tax Small Item.
To the Editor:
I read Mr, Cleland s com
munication in Friday night's pa
per and 1 am glad he made it
clear about the increase in taxes
for the proposed park on Bear
creek.
The only objection that I have
heard to the park is the in
eiease ln taxes, and who is there
in Medford who would not will
ingly pay nn increase in taxes
of $.1 ,5 per thousand over a
period of six years to have and
enjoy a park of our own"
We all aqreo that wr npro
a park and it is a disgrace to
the town that we have not made
som effort before tills to have
one. The location is ideal, with
in walking distance for most of
our citizens and many who do
not own cars could enjoy it.
The proposed site, at present,
is a disgrace to the city and it
would great I v irrrea-e the value
of property t i have it nlantr,:
'and used as a park
Why is it that people will
spend much more money on
things of no value to themselves
or their city and then balk at
spending a little on something
that will pay big dividends to
them and their city for years
to come?
Just say "taxes" and every-
one is ready to vote "no." We
refuse to consider how much
the increased taxes will give us.
We would get so much for the
small amount expended that I
hope everyone will go to the
polls and vote for the bonds.

Employment Phase
To the Editor:
In reading the communica
tions printed in your paper, it
appears to me that there is a
lack of full understandinr of
Fthe reasons for the Medford
park project at this time.
Laying aside the desirability
of acquiring a site and develop
ing a park with suitable recrea
tion facilities for Medford citi
zens, there is a more important
and pressing reason.
During the fall and winter
of 1938 and 1939. Medford faced
a serious relief problem which
was only partially relieved
through the cooperation of state
and federal agencies.
Reports from the Jackson
county I'uDiic weiiare toramis-
sion, indicate an even more ser
ious condition facing the com
munity for this fall and winter.
Unfortunately state relief aid
to the counties has been dras
tically reduced, therefore the
uurcicn must, xo a large extent,
be shouldered locally.
Only two or three small WPA
projects are in the offing this
winter, Insufficient m them
selves to meet our unemploy
ment needs. WPA no longer ap
proves projects which do not
constitute a lasting good to the
community. For the above reas
on the various groups interested
in the unemployment problem
have cooperated in the move to
acquire a suitable park site with
the understanding that the WPA
would approve an employment
program for the development of
this park requiring no cash con
tribution from the city during
ine coming year,
The provision for $10,000 to
cover development in addition
to the cost of the property was
maae to provide sufficient cash
if needed, to complete the pro
ject over and above that sup
plied by WPA.
The park project is one in
which a maximum of hand la
bor can be used, therefore, a
substantial portion of the cost
of the park development will
be hand labor Supplied at no
cost to the city. This project
should not be confused with a
PWA project such as used by
the city in connection with
street improvements. PWA Is an
outright grant but must be
handled through regular con
tractors who supply their own
labor and machinery on a bid
basis.
Don't make the mistake of as
suming that the $10,000 put up
by the city is the entire amount
which will be available to de
velop the park for Medford.
Do you want a sound solu
tion of the local unemployment
problem with the help of feder
al agencies which will bring
tangible benefits to the com
munity, or do you want unem
ployment and direct relief at
our expense?
Very truly yours, '
John C. Mann.
Let's Have That Park
To the Editor:
Medford as a city needs it.
The people as citizens of Med
ford need it. The children should
have it. The per capita cost is
almost nil. The long time in
which payment can be com
pleted is most generous. Let's
Go!
Of course there will always j
be dissenters to any idea such
as this. Most of them sincere
and honest. Some prejudiced
and biased. Some very unreas
onable. In the better Interest of
Medford and its people we must
go ahead. Eventually these dis
senters will wonder at them
selves and why they ever op
posed the park proposal. It is
always thus.
We must allow our imagina
tion to help us out in our de
rision. Let us imagine what a
beautiful thincr tliic n.rl, i.

When completed it will be

ICHTHYOSIS
Ichthyosis is more familiar as
i fishskin disease or alligator
hide. Another name for it is
xeroderma or xerosis, Greek for
' dry skin.
Many persons have a slight
roughening and slight scaliness
of certain areas, of the skin, par
ticularly the outer surface of the
calves and the
back of the el
bows the
skin appears
rough, scaly or
"dirty". This
is a mild form
of ichthyosis or
xeroderma. In
more marked
cases the skin
over the el
bows, knees,
thighs and
arms is dry
rough, and scaly enough to sug
gest the appearance of fish skin
or alligator hide.
Usually the hair of one with I
ichthyosis is dry and lusterless

In not a few cases ichthyosis
or xeroderma mav denend ud-

oncv in vitamin A intake. Onlv
way to determine whether this
applies in a given case is by
trying the therapeutic test that
is, taking an optimal daily ra
tion of natural vitamin A (not
more carotene! tn snnnlement
i the diet for 'a few weeks and
;see. This can do no harm in
: any case. A fair daily ration
for the purpose would be four
capsules of natural vitamin A
daily each capsule containing
25,000 units the day's ration
being taken all with breakfast
or divided into two or four doses
through the day if preferred.
If the skin condition shows
marked improvement in the
course of a few weeks, then see
to it that the diet shall include
liberal amounts and varieties of
the foods rich in vitamin A
thereafter.
Probably more frequent than
ichthyosis in persons who get
insufficient vitamin A is a skin
condition characterized by hard
dry red papules on the outer
surfaces of legs and arms, some
times on the face as well. The
papules occur at the site of the
orifice of sebaceous duct and
hair follicle. This skin condi
tion may be mistaken for acne.
The same therapeutic test is
harmless in any case take 100,
000 units of natural vitamin A
(four capsules) daily for a month
or so. If definite improvement is
apparent, then pay more at
tention in future to including in
it. A city without a good park
may be likened to a city without
schools or a public library.
Come folks vote YES on the
park bond issue.
D. D. Davis.
Let's All Vole
To the Editor:
Once again we are reminded
that too often it is the minority
that rules the majority.
Now we are asked to vote for
a bond issue for $30,000 to fi
nance a park on a piece of
ground that, however fertile it
may be, has been periodically
submerged in the floods of Bear
Creek,
Further we are reminded by
carefully underlined notations
on scarehead handbills that "one
docs not need to be a property
owner (and taxpayer) to vote
for the proposed issue."
Let the voters owning proper
ty in this city remember that
too often we have gone deeper
into debt because we sat at home
on election day and "prayed"
that the bonds wouldn't carry,
when only fifteen minutes of
our time at the polls would have
assured the defeat of the issue
that meant another two or three
"Mil"-stones around the necks
of the already overburdened tax
payer. And let the non-owners of
property voting for unnecessary
indebtedness also remember that
his duty is not ended when he
casts his vote. He'll pay and
how on every slice of bread
that his children eat and every
other commodity that he buys.
Let none lose sight of the fact
that before that $30,000 is paid
off, it will hove taken on Gar
gantuan proportions. And Broth
er, the $10,000 that's supposed
to build that park is going to
last about as long as a butter
fly in a Nebraska hailstorm.
Forgetting specialized labor, 100
men at $50 a month can polish
off that ten grand without even
leaning on their shovels.
If we MUST spend ihirty
thousand, why not stretch it in-
to six months of relief Instead

To the Editor:
While I recognize many rea
sons why Medford people should
vote for the park bonds next
Tuesday, one phase of the pro
posed development Is especially
important to those now earning
a living here.
Medford is an excellent com
munity in which to live but we
must frankly admit that it is a
difficult one in which to earn
a living, due to the obvious lack
of diversified industry and pay
rolls. Old-timers will remember
when Medford well deserved the
reputation as "the livest and big
gest little city in the west."
Years of depression and adjust
ment have, unfortunately, chang
ed this picture. All will agree
that this city is NOT the pro
gressive community of past
years and it s HIGH TIME to
wake up!
The development of a park
and recreational center on Bear
creek, in the very heart of Med
ford, will start the ball rolling
it won't cost much, either,
and it will be offset with increas
ed property values!
Since we can't have big pay
rolls, let us go after MORE of the
substantial new citizens of the
progressive type who will estab
lish homes here and contribute
to our prosperity they will be
REAL ASSETS, but we won't
get them unless our community
is attractive and has a reason
able number of recreational fa-
cilities
Let us build not only for the
old folks of today but the young
fnll nf tnrlav ftnH tnmnrrnw.
There is not another site in the
city for a park and we rhould
nm t-.-i ims up.:
Grants Fass on the west and j
Ashland on the south of us, both
have beautiful parks. What will
the next generation say about
us, when told of the opportunity
we missed when we failed to
accept it?
In my mind, the following
poem fits our position exactly.
Vote "yes" Tuesday.
An old man traveling a lone highway,
Came at the evening cold and gray.
To a chasm vast and deep and wide.
The old man crossed In the twilight
dim,
For the sullen stresm had no fear
for him,
But he turned when safe on the
other side.
And bullded a bridge to spsn the
tide.
"Old man,
near,
cried a fellow pilgrim
"You're wasting your time In build
ing here.
Your Journey will end with the
closing day;
You never again will pass this way.
You have crossed the chasm deep
and wide.
Why build you this bridge at even
tide?" The builder lifted his old gray .head:
"Good friend, in the path I have
come," he said,
"There followeth after me today
A youth whoae feet must pass this
way.
This stream which has been as
naught to me.
To that falr-halred youth may a pit
fall be.
He, too. must cross In the twilight
dim;
Oood friend, I am building that
bridge for him."

The
Capital
Parade
By Joseph Alsop
and
Robert Kintner
Released by The North
American Newspaper
Alliance, Ino, '
Washington, Oct. 28. This
week the president lost a chance
to use a constitutional power
never before exercised by any of
his predecessors. The founding
fathers foresaw that some day
one house of congress might
wish to adjourn and the other to
stay in session. They authorized
the president to meet the case by
commanding the whole congress
to go home and reconvene on a
given date.
On Monday, with the farm
bloc shouting for $50,000,000 for
drought-stricken wheat farmers
and water-logged cotton grow
ers, and the Republicans de
manding a continued session to
"watch the president," it looked
as though adjournment might be
voted down in the house. At the
president's conference Vice
President John N. Garner, Sen
ate Majority Leader Alben W.
Barkley, and Minority Leader
Charles L. McNary, the situation
was discussed, and it was con
cluded that the senate could be
depended upon to disagree with
the house.
The president then mentioned
his forgotten power, showing
considerable relish at the
thought of setting an historic
precedent. The leaders offered
no objection to its use, and
everything was planned accord
ingly. But the desire to settle
matters simply was greater, un
fortunately, than the desire to
use the adjournment power.
Secretary Henry A. Wallace
scraped a few millions for the
farmers out of a back drawer
at the agriculture department.
The farm bloc was pacified. In
cidentally, several house votes
were picked up for repeal of the
arms embargo. And house ap
proval of adjournment was
made fairly certain.
As ambassador to France, brilliant,
dome-headed William Christian Bul
litt Is America's official number 2
diplomat, and his nightly transatlan
tic telephonlngs to the White House,
which the president cannot forego
despite danger of wire-tapping, really
put Bullitt ahead of Joe Kennedy In
London. But his habits as a host are
strangely princely for the leading
representative of the greatest demo
cratic power In the world. For his
first Moscow party, he flew blooming
tulips from Holland, had a table
cloth of growing grass, and orna
mented his dining room with glass
cages of young animals.
That party, which was given while
Moscow was still burled In snow, was
named after Stravinsky's 'sacre du
pnntemps." the spring festival.
Bullitt's latest and probably his
last, considering the war. was a areat
ball in Paris In the spring. It has
always been his ambition to have the
oest chef In Europe, and he wss de

man of the securities and exchange
commission, has safely survived the
last of his resignation fevers. His re

Helpful Hints At
National Conclave
Philadelphia, Oct. 28. MP)
A former president's wife
and another former presi
dent's daughter-in-law gave
these helpful hints at the na
tional Girl Scouts convention:
1. Stretch and be strong.
2. Sew and be soothed.
Mrs. Herbert Hoover flexed
her arms and thrust them for
ward vigorously to demon
strate exercises in the 1912
girls' handbook called "an
easy way to grow strong."
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt,
Jr., told how she would rest
up from six trips between
Philadelphia and New York in
36 hours:
"When I get home tonight
I'll sit down and embroider
before retiring. It's soothing,
and that's why I think sewing
is so important for growing
young ladies."
