Adult Group to

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.

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

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.

Other Towns Enjoy Parks
To the Editor:
Because I am connected with
a character building organiza
tion that deals with girls from
eight to eighteen, I want to reg
ister my approval of the Med
ford park bond issue.
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.

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.

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
