MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 24. 1939. PAGE SEVEN PISTOL SHOOTERS E The response of pistol shoot ers to the Medford rifle club's Invitation was evidence last Sunday when a number spent the afternoon firing at the in door targets at the range in the basement of the natatorium building. So much enthusiam was expressed that the local club feels a very creditable squad of pistol marksmen will be developed. It is the ideal time for the novice, if interested, to get started in this fascinating sport, as he need not feel embarrassed at low scores, as all will be starting from scratch. The range will be open again next Sunday at 2 p. m. and it is especially desired that all in terested may be there in order to fix a weekly shooting night that is agreeable to all. Due to range conditions, all firing will be limited to the .22 calibre hand gun, whether single shot pistol, revolver or automatic. Wednesday evening saw the first stage completed of an off hand pistol match between Shelby Tuttle and Ivan Wad dell of the local rifle club and two marksmen of the Lander, Wyo., rifle club. Total score of the two local men was 368x400 for an average of 92 per tar get. Complete scores for the eve ning under the national handi cap system: Shelby Tuttle 391 Mrs. Ivan Waddell 390 Ivan Waddell 389 Ed Lull 385 Phil Whitlock Mrs. S. M. Tuttle Lew Conger C. C.

W Can cellation of the winter Olympic games, scheduled for Garmisch Partenkirschen, was announced today by Hans Von Tschammer Osten, reich sports leader. The German Olympic com mittee and the organization com mittee for the games took the action in view of a resolution of the international Olympic committee that a belligerent country cannot hold the games. Previously Japan had given up both the summer and winter games. The statement said "because Germany's proposals for bring ing about world peace were de clined by the English and French governments and there fore the war must be continued, Germany returns the commis sion to conduct the games to the international Olympic committee." At the National Capitol With John W. Kelly (Continued Iron. Page One.) After working in three pre liminary matches, Ernie Piluso, the Portland mat flash, gets his chance to go in a main event next Monday night. He's slated to grapple Paul Bozell, erst while Black Dragon, who hasn't been beaten since coming back to Medford two weeks ago. Bob Kenaston, Gold Hill fa vorite, steps down a notch to tackle King Kong Clayton In the middle affair, and Herb Parks, the Vancouver, B. C, cleanie, takes on Eddie Rogers, in the opener. Rogers is re turning after several months absence. New York, Nov. 24. (!P The offices of the American Olympic committee said today Hans Von Tschammer-Osten, German sports leader, was not empowered to cancel the 1940 winter Olympic games, but could merely reject them on Germany's behalf and return them to the international Olym pic committee. However, since the games must be held during 1940 and were scheduled for February, it is extremely doubtful the I.O.C. will be able to award them to any other country in time for that country to make adequate preparations. Finland, at last report, still was determined to now tne main Olympic games, scheduled for Helsinki July 20 to August 4, Portland Fullback Lauded by Mathews Portland, Nov. 24. (P) Coach R. L. (Matty) Mathews believes Gonzaga university will get a glimpse of the west s hard est hitting fullback here Sun day against the University of Portland football team. The Portland pigskin tutor says 190-pound Joe Enzler is the best line-smashing fullback he has seen in 30 years of football and points to the ease with which Enzler broke through the husky St. Mary s line.

If this recommendation remains in the report in the final draft hen submitted to the president, Mr. Roosevelt will either have to accept the recommendation and offend veterans, or reject this specific item which is one of the vital weak spots discov ered in the civil service by Jus tices Reed and Frankfurter and the other members on the committee.

It's been a hnt Hnv in the Snprampnto v a 1 1 e y Thanksgiving or no Thanksgiving. And it's just as hot in the city tonight as it has been in the valley today. No cooling breeze from the ocean, as in the summer. It's a strange, strange fall. AT THE service station in Dunsmuir this morning, the pump boy cocked a weather eye at the dry hill across the Sac ramento river. "If we don't get some snow before long," he volunteered that old hill will be drying up and blowing away. We have not had a drop of moisture since the storm in early October, and it doesn't look today as if we d EVER get any more." HUMAN beings just HAVE to have something to worry about, don't they? With the ham and eggs menace out of the way down here, they're turning to the weather. Well, the weather always obliges. If it isn't too wet, it'i too dry or too hot or too cold As a worry-provider, t h weather is God's gift to man kind. BOOMTOWN-on-the-highway is growing up and putting on airs. The drab shacks of its early days are giving way to fairly neat cottages. Paint is every where. As a result. It is no longer much of a topic for converse tlon. We pay little attention to the things we re accustomed to, PEOPLE are ' always LOOK ING FORWARD to some thing In this world. Along the highway near the McCloud river, a hopeful citi zen has a place he has just named Lakeshore Resort Lake Redding is still several years in the future, but this boy is getting ready for it. He aims to be all set and ready when the reclamation service brings a lake to his front door. That's what one might call peaceful preparedness. a IT'S a little hard to think of these canyons being filled with a blue lake, with widely spread fingers, but that's what is coming. (Everybody looks forward to it now. but will find somethin to kick about when it comes), Marriage Course New York (U.R) As a resu of numerous suggestions by Hunter college students, a series of four lectures on marriage family relations, and the home is .being initiated this term. The lectures will seek to meet the problem of "What Is the hon orable approach in tl-.Ktcht and conduct to the union of man and woman?" election year, if he is himself a candidate. NOT ready for publicity yet (ex perlments are still in progress), j Is a new weapon for the navy a high-powered speed boat designed ,.for torpedo attack. If deckled a success, there Is no reason why this i type craft cannot be built In num bers on the Columbts river and I Puget sound, where some very fast ! motor and speed boats have been constructed in the past. The craft Is a 60-footer. carrying four torpedoes and a crew of etht. It depends on speed alone for de fense and has Installed an engine so powerful that there has never been anything In the U. S. navy to approach It In kicking up m. p. h. At this time no one knows what speed the boat will attnln. but the guoss places It at 60 knots. This may be an over-statement, or It may not. - IS theory, the torpedo speedboat dashes to within easy range of a warship, lets loose a torpedo or two and swirls away before the deck watch can ratso an alarm. It Is too fast for a gun to be trained upon It; as a target It la aa fleet as a wild duck. Under cover of fog the motor boat la a deadly menace. A Canadian caught the Idea from the speedboats so popular la the United States. He developed the plan and has been selling his torpedo boats to the British for S35O.OO0 each. In the one the American navy la experimenting with the ordnance and machinery Is being Installed by the navy, but the hull was con structed by private builders. No large shipyard Is necessary to turn out the hulls. THERE Is a new buyer for the scrap Iron of the Pacific north west, which heretofore has found a market In Japan. Britain has placed an order for 740.000 tons of scrap and this has caused a spurt In the Junk business all over the country. No one Is raising the question that the scrap Is to be used for shrapnel. - EVERY employer In Oregon and Washington who has had dif ficulties with the National Labor Relations board haa been requested to answer this: "Please furnish whatever Informa tion you can on the attitude and conduct of the attorneya for NLRB before and during the hearing; the attitude and conduct of the trial examiner before and during the hear ing, and the cost of the hearing to your company as well as the effect. If any. the results had upon your community." Also: "Did the trial examiner direct the reporter to omit from the record any part of the proceedings? State the approximate cost to you of obtaining a steno graphic transscrlptton of ths testu mony and, if known, ths cost per page." The questions are propounded by the house committee Investigating NLRB and these queries touch ou matters of special interest to ft number of concerns in the Paclflo northwest. That question about tho cost of a atenographle transcription Is expected to lead to something sensational. One agency of the federal govern ment was paid S10O0 by a firm of reporters for the prtvlLexe of being employed to take testimony; tho agency receives Its transcription free, the private citizens pay the freight.
