Park and Catherine Petitions
to Be Expedited Gun

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.

A light lank of the first armored corps takes the plunge
at Fort Knox. Kr. There's no bridge and the water at this
point in the stream is shallow enough to allow tha tank to
ford It, in simulated pursuit of an enemy.
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. Court street,
East Ninth street and Fast Jack
son boulevard were repaired by
patching, the report stated.
Park Plans Prepared.
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.'

Pilchards Plentiful.
Marshfield, Aug. 7. ;
Pilchards swarmed by the mil-j
lions two and three miles off
Coos Bay today but there were
no seiners to catch them. Trol
lers complained that salmon
would no longer strike because i
of the feed available from the :
pilchard schools. !
San Francisco, Aug. 7. 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.
