Getting Their Feet Wet 10 SPEED PAVING OF TISTREEIS Park and Catherine Petitions to Be Expedited Gun Club Asks Rent Relief am-r- mm wh. Steps were taken by the city council last night to expedite action on an amended petition for the paving of Park avenue from Dakota to Catherine street and Catherine street from Park to King street. More than 75 per cent of the property involved was repre sented in the petition, the coun cil was told. The original peti tion included another block on Park avenue south of Catherine street, but the percentage of property owners in this block favoring the improvement was small and the council advised Its elimination. Gun Club PUa. A letter from T. E. Daniels of the Medford Gun club ajked the council to discontinue charg ing the club rent on the grounds It occupies near the municipal airport A check for $50 was enclosed to pay a year's rent due. Mr. Daniels' letter asked the council to discontinue the rent at least until business improved enough to warrant the expendi ture by the club. With shoot ing at the club off SO per cent in the past year, the club cannot afford to pay any rental now, the letter asserted. Mr! Dan iels emphasized the value of the gun club to the community and declared that other cities pro vide trap grounds and club fa cilities without cost to the club.

Councilman Thomas Rowoerry, showed that, in cooperation vith the county, the city had improv ed McAndrews, Barncburg and Hillcrest roads with a road a- mix oiled surface. The prop erty owners paid for the work in advance and the work was done with county equipment, the report said.

The superintendent's office prepared a master plan and ap plication for the next quarterly period of the CCC at Prcscott and Gear Creek parks and sub mitted a new application to the WPA for work at the airport, the report showed. The Pres cott CCC camp was abandoned last tpring when the company was assigned elsewhere. During July two dangerous trees, one on Portland avenue and one on Laurel strict, were removed and property d a tiers were requested to trim low hanging limbs, Mr. Scheffcl's report said. It was also shown that boys employed under the national youth administration constructed a steel tower for a new wind cone at the airport and that a new flagpole had been installed at the airport. Councilman II. S. Deuel was absent. "However, the boys from southern Oregon are not the only ones enjoying camp. Every one I have talked to seems to have the same idea as the Med ford boys." Vern Kellenbeck Is Elected Mayor Robert Taylor Candidate (or Governor The Medford boys at the Beaver Boys' state at Portland are taking an active part in the camp's government as well as having good and beneficial time, it wis shown in a letter re ceived today by Robert R. Ebel from one of the youths, Vern Kellenbeck. Mr. Ebel, chairman of the American Legion Medford post Beaver Boys' state commit tee, accompanied the boys to the camp at the Hill Military acad emy. Kellenbeck's letter follows: "Here are some of the high lights of camp. Boys' state was opened at the evening meal Sat urday. That evening city elec tions functioned. The most suc cessful of the southern Oregon group were: Vern Kellenbeck, mayor, Frank Dixon, city coun cil, and Robert Taylor, constitu tional convention. Robert Taylor is also the leading candidate of the Third party for governor. The rest of the southern Oregon group are actively supporting the campaign of the Third party which represents the Medford boys. 'Today I saw and interviewed the fellows from Medford to get their reactions to camp. AH thought it the best thing that had happened to them yet. On interview, the following said: "Frank Dixon, councilman: 'I am particularly impressed with the efficiency with which the elections are run. The facilities of the camp are complete and there are really a swell bunch of fellows here.' "Lanar Coverstone, this year a scholarship winner: 'Having a better time this year than ever. I wish more could come next year.' 'The potential candidate for governor, Bob Taylor, said: 'I certainly think the fellows and officials here are swell. I'm hav ing a lot of fun organizing a Third party. With the support that we now have I am sure that southern Oregon will be proper ly located in the government of Beaver Boys' state.' Dr. T.W.

P) Battle lines In a fight to control the nation's supply of radio music were drawn today by organized broadcasters and the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, but the issue may ultimately be decided by America's millions of radio listeners. Backing up President Neville Miller, the National Association of Broadcasters approved a plan to sign contracts for music rights with Broadcast Music Inc., NAB's own organization to combat what it described as ASCAP's monopoly on the tune business. Music Cost Doubled Miller said that ASCAP had offered new contracts effective January 1 under which the hundreds of American radio stations would have to pay S8.700.000 or nearly double present rates for the rights to broadcast the popular songs which make up 70 per cent of radio programs. BMI's rates are considerably less. Spokesmen for ASCAP, which controls the works of all the I better known composers, said the royalty increases were de served and not excessive. They were denied permission to ad dress NAB's eighteenth annual convention which ends here today. Executives of the three nation-wide broadcasting chains. National Broadcasting company, Columbia Broadcasting system, and Mutual Broadcasting sys tem, said that beginning Janu ary 1 their programs would eliminate ASCAP music in favor of works by the lesser known BMI composers. W. J. Cooney of Medford! heads the Nebraska Picnic asso- ciation for another year as a re sult of his re-election at the an nual picnic last Sunday in Lithia Dark. Ashland. I Mrs. Wilbur Morgan of Ash land was elected secretary. Many new names were added to the membership list as attendance at the annual picnic continued to grow. The event this year was declared the best ever held. E. M. Hussong, Medford high school teacher, reviewed Ne braska's history in the principal address of the afternoon. He traced development of the state from the days of buffalo hunt-i ing, Indian pioneering, timber claims and sod houses to the present when, he said, Nebraska 1 is free of public debt and has ? the most magnificent capitol and most nearly perfect highway system in tne world. It was Nebraska's commercial farming greed that brought dust bowl conditions to the state, just as timber cutting, coal mining and oil wasting "are destroying the natural resources of other states," Mr. Hussong declared. Mr. Hussong appealed for nt. tional unity in defense "of the blessings of democratic govern, ments" and said "let us all be better Oregonians than we were Nebraskans and always keep tha faith of good citizenship above politics, business or profession." Several others spoke enter tainingly, describing experiences while residents of Nebraska. All agreed they were grateful they were now residing in southern Oregon.
