All members and their invited guests are asked to attend. Ifs all done with brains not with mirrors THEY thought Col. Edwin Laurencine Drake crazy enough when, in 1859, he started to dig a perpendicular oil well. "You can't get no wheres, Colonel," winked mus tachioed know-it-alls, "less'n you start at the bottom and work up." Suppose he had at tempted a horizontal well ! Eighty years later, near Mc Connelsville, Ohio, the first horizontal oil well has become a reality. Only 953 feet "deep," it yields at the rate of 350 bar rels a day. In a long-worked field stippled with ordinary wells and practically exhausted by ordinary producing methods this short well reaches three fresh oil pockets. From what they've learned O" 'his job, engineers estimate t wells driven in on the lev el, (unnel fashion, will expose an area of sand many hundred times greater than a vertical well in the same field. You needn't be even a rocking-chair engineer to realize that here is another achievement of the Oii industry which should add vast ly to the nation's reserves. Since Drake's time, horizon tal wells have been considered is impossible as the flying-machine once was. The men who sank this one had to invent proc esses and tools as they went long. Now they can say "It can't be done, but there she is" an old refrain in the oil business. Standard Oil Company of California Many to Attend Homecoming at Eugene College A number of Medford football fans. University of Oregon and Oregon State alumni and others. are planning to attend the an nual Armistice week-end on the Eugene campus, Nov. 10-12.

Latest developments in the rapidly advancing plans is the signing of Leon Mojica and his orchestra for the homecoming dance scheduled for McArthur Court on Saturday evening. ' The week-end's biggest attrac tion of course will be the tradi tional battle between the Oregon and Oregon State football teams on Hayward Field, Armistice day afternoon. Bay City Woman Here for Visit An interesting week end vis itor in Medford from her home in San Francisco, Cal., was Miss Lois Whisler, managing editor of the News Letter in the Bay City district. She was the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Barnes at their East Main street home. During her brief stay here, Miss Whisler was an out-of-town guest at the luncheon party of Mrs. N. B. Benders' on Saturday afternoon and the breakfast af fair of the William H. Fluhrers on Sunday morning. She departed for San Fran cisco yesterday. Couple Married In Church Sunday Following the services yester day noon in the Presbyterian church, Miss Anna Theresa Van Zyl, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Van Zyl. became the bride of Andrew Waterman, son of Mrs. Etta Dyser of Bridge, Ore gon. Frances Renzema was the bride's attendant, while the bride's brother, Ralph Van Zyl, i acted as best man. I Dr. Sherman L. Divine, pastor ot the church, united the couple in marriage. Katherine Wendt and Jean McAllister sang "I Love You Truly" in a beautiful arrangement and Hans Horlein, church organist, played the wed ding music.

Also on the program was Mrs. John F. Lawrence who explained and conducted a discussion on the neutrality bill now before congress. The two subjects were in such great contrast that a stimulating session ensued. Mrs. Newman's dealt with the horse and buggy era in a small town with all its peace, leisure, dignity and sim plicity while the other subject dealt with the forces and condi tions harassing civilization today that makes a neutrality act nec essary. .

She has visited the Kenneys in this city fre quently in past years. SOC .'. heard both sides discussed thor oughly and at length. To convert a place of unsight liness into one of beauty, to change one of usefulness into one giving pleasure and comfort, to launch a project which will give much-needed employment to even a small number, would seem to me, always a very right, wise thing to do. From a business standpoint alone it appears good as a pro perty value increase, from an aesthetic standpoint, there is much to commend it, and since, as 1 understand, the question ot sanitation does not enter into it. I believe that I, for one, will vote "yes" on this matter.

There is not as yet a shady playground for our children to play, you only have to go to Ashland or Grants Pass to learn how fully one can be used. We have been informed that the forest service is prepared to bring in trees large enough that it will not be too long before this park will be a thing of beauty, civic pride and a shady recrea tional center for not only our children but the entire family. Please consider that we will have available not only the $10,000 voted for the needed improvements, but also help the unemployment in our city by taking advantage of the WPA, which cost does .not come out of the voted bonds. Go to the polls tomorrow and vote for a park of which we can always be proud. MRS. O. B. MORROW Com. Girl Scout Council Willow Springs P. T. A.

There will be no door admis Favored By Women To the editor: The Medford branch of the American Association of Univer sity Women went on record at their last meeting as being in favor of the park project. Mem bers have been working on this because they feel that su?h a park will fill a vital need for a recreational center in Med ford. It will increase the value of city property, and will make a thing of beauty instead of the eyesore of the present site. From the point of view of child welfare, this park will keep our children off the streets, and give them a place for whole some and healthy activities. In view of the unusually fine school system and library that Medford has, it is fitting that the same progressive spirit which made them possible, make our park a reality. Lolita Shepherd, Secretary.

Communications Believes In Improvement To the Editor: As a matter of principle I be lieve in supporting requests for bond issues for municipal im provement when endorsed by the Chamber of Commerce. As a voter in a democracy one should satisfy himself as to the financial and ethical value of the suggested Improvement and then vote yes. Medford's great need of play ground space, a swimming pool, recreational centers and im provement of natural beauty are very apparent. The activity of undertaking this work and push ing it through to artistic com pletion will undoubtedly be a forward step in civic betterment HATTIE W. GORE Park Plan Wise To the Editor: As usual with any question of widespread interest involving the opinions, desires, and exDen- diture of money in the form of a slight tax increase, there are two sides to this matter of anoth er city park, and the writer has s1 00 Prize To Boy or Girl under 16 years of age For Best Soap PICTURE Placed on our window Hallowe'en night (must fur nish proof or work) OCTOBER 31ST BROWN U WHITE AGENCY 104 W.
