MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 1940.
DUE TO BENEFIT
BY F(
$1,250,000 Additional Busi
ness For Oregon is Pre
dicted in Coming Year.
Br Pul W. Harvey, Jr.
Salem, Jan. 5. OF) Multno
mah county's food stamp plan,
which Secretary of Agriculture
Henry A. Wallace said may be
extended to 90 or 100 cities
throughout the nation, may
bring a measure of prosperity
to Oregon farmers and retailers, .
u well as give persons on re
lief 80 per cent more food.
Jack Luihn, state public wel
fare commission chairman, said
the plan would result in $1.
230,000 In additional retail busi
ness In Oregon this year. Be
tween 60,000 and 75,000 per
sons are eligible to benefit from
the plan, which may be made
statewide if things work out as
expected.
Adds 50c to II
The plan, which went Into
effect in Multnomah county
three days ago, permits each
member of a relief family to
spend at least $1.50 for food,
Instead of the $1 which was
spent before food stamps were
available. The extra 60 cents is
used to purchase surplus com
modities. There Is little opposition to
the plan, which has been tested
In several other cities. It has
been criticized, however, be
cause tt gives no help to low
Income families who don't earn
enough to have adequate food
but yet can't get on relief.
Secretary of Commerce Harry
Hopkins said in his annual re
port that 40,000,000 Americans
are members of families which
, earn $9 a week or less, and
these families have only five
cents a meal per person for
food. He thought what a fine
thing It would De ior an ui
America if their families could
earn even a little bit more.
Plan Significant
Of the stamp plan, Hopkins
said It is "significant, not mere
ly as a technique for the solu
tion of a critical problem, but
as a demonstration of the bene
fits derived by all parts of the
economy from an adjustment to
a higher level of consumption."
Secretary Wallace, whose de
partment administers the plan,
said this obout the program:
"In addition to providing a
wider market for the farmer
and supplementing the diet of
needv families, the operations
of the stamp plan program help
all business by bringing aDoui
an Increased flow of foodstuffs
through the normal channels
of trade."
He said, however, it would
take a long time to determine
definitely the complete economic
effect of the program.
The railroad men probably
are well aware of it, but most
nconle Drobably don't realize
what tremendous strides have
been taken in the past few years
by Oregon's motor freight and
passenger industry.
Public utilities commissioner
Ormond R. Bean reported that
his department's motor fund re
ceipts, comprising fees paid by
the industry, set a new high
mark of $1,203,531 last year,
of which $979,116 was turned
over to the highway commission.
The total was 'about $400,000
more than in 1938, and more
than double that of 1U34. The
sole reason for the increase was
better business.
Dewey Describes
F, R. Message As
Failure Admission
New York, Jan. 5. OP)
District Attorney Thomas E.
Dewey, candidate for the Re
publican presidential nomina
tion, today characterized
President Roosevelt's mes
sage to congress Wednesday
as a "tragic confession of fail
ure." Dewey, returning from a
short vacation in Georgia,
said he read the message en
route home. He gave his im
pressions of the message to
newspapermen who met him
at Pennsylvania station.
"The president's message
was a tragic confession of
failure," Dewey said. "It was
an attempt to defend seven
years in which there has been
no success in solving either
of the two major national
p r o b 1 e ms unemployment
and an Increasing unbalanced
budget."
HEAVY
OF
826,500 Trout Released in
1939 Is Report From
Regional Headquarters.
During the 1939 season 826,'
500 trout fingerlings were plant
ed In waters within the Rogue
stated in the annual fish and
game report prepared for the
regional forester'i office at Port
land. Of the total number, 648,
000 were planted in lakes, 178,
500 in streams. In addition, an
emergency release of 476,000
rainbows was made by the
Butte Falls hatcheries when a
trestle supporting the water In
take pipe collapsed and shut
off the water supply.
500.000 In Fish Lake
"Fish lake, which has been
by far the most popular lake
within the Rogue River national
forest, received some 500,000
eastern brook trout early in the
season and it is expected that
these will be of legal size by
River national forest, it was 'the opening date of the fishing
season next spring," the report
stated.
Lakes in the Seven Lakes
basin and Lakes Como and Har
riett in the Primitive area were
already sufficiently atoeked
with eastern brook trout The
Blue Canyon group and several
in the Sky Lakes group were
planted with rainbows.
"Fish planting In national
forest waters has been a co
operative project handled by
the state game commission and
the forest service. Last season,
both trucks and pack strings
were provided by the game
commission whereas in former
years practically all of the pack
ins to inaccessible waters was
handled by the forest service.
"Fishing in the streams and
lakes of the national forest was
good last year and. In view of
the distribution of fish recently
released, it should be equally
good the coming season."
Postcard From Hall
Pasadena, Cal. (U.R) Em
ployes of the Pasadena office of
the county clerk were alarmed
when they received a postcard
reading "Hello from Hell" and
postmarked from there. They
became even more alarmed
when they ascertained that the
card was from their friends,
Superior Court Clerk E. E.
Ekdale and wife. Tension was
relieved when it was found that
the particular Hell in question
is In Norway.

E TAX DODGE IS
CLAIM OF GOVERNMENT
San Francisco, Jan. 5. VP)
Charles Laughton, the British
actor, has a financial "stand
in," but the United States gov
ernment doesn't think that en
titles him to withhold $104,430
in income tax.
The government petitioned
the U. S. circuit court of ap
peals today to review a decision
of the board of tax appeals
which excused Laughton from
payment of tax on his income
from "Ruggles of Red Gap,"
"The Barretts of Wlmpole
Street" and "Marie Antoinette,"
made In 1034 and 1935.
Laughton claimed exemption
because he signed those earn
ings over to a British corpora
tion entitled Motion Picture and
Theatrical Industries, Ltd., of
which Laughton Is the sola
stockholder.
Guy T. Helverlng, collector
of internal revenue, insisted
that despite the sonorous name,
the corporation was still Just
Charles Laughton.
The board of tax appeals up
held Laughton's claim that the
corporation was a separate entity.

Bergen, Norway, Jan. 5. VP)
A report from Narvik today
said the American freighter
City of Flint, preparing to re
turn to the United States, bump
ed Into a British freighter while
maneuvering In the harbor
there.
The necessity of repairing
damaged plates postponed the
City of Flint's sailing until at
least Saturday.
The City of Flint has been
in Norwegian waters since No
vember 11 when the Norwegian
government declared her free
and Interned at Haugesund a
German prize crew which had
taken her to Murmansk, Russia,
and then sought to take her
down the Norwegian coast to
Germany as a prize.
In charge of the same Amer
ican crow which operated her

IT'S FUN TO SHOP
AT THE
GROCETERIAS
F
UN? We'll say It Is and for
th whole family children
and grown-ups alike. Wo've
often wondered why so many
children coma to the Groceieria with
their parents. In some stores parents
don't like to take their children,
while In our markets Mother and
Father seem to enjoy having the
children help with the shopping.
We asked a mother with several
children about this and her is her
answeri
"The children are not really play
ing even though they are having a
lot of fun. Every mother likes to
have the family help plan the meals
but you can't get them to do It at
home. Here where they can see
everything from seafood to seasoning
it's easy to get suggestions from them.
Take Stella over there. She is a
finicky eater yet if I let her believe
she is helping plan the meals her
personal pride seems to stimulate an
appetite for things I can seldom get
her to eat."
Fun. You bet it Is, but more than
that, it solves the home food prob
lems. Gives everyone the food he
likes; adds to dinner table peace and
harmony by pleasing all; saves Moth
er a lot of work and trouble-some
planning, and saves money for Dad,
which for him is the most fun in the
world.
