The arrangement! are subject to the approval of the federal' court which makes iU headquarters in Portland. Clerk of the court notified his Medford deputy Friday that the fall .term of U- S. district court would open here October 1, but apparently the federal authorities in Portland had made no arrangements for quar ters here although it is under- I stood they had been informed nhcrintinne Rain tt Per! number of times that the Med- SUDscriptions uain oj rer eder, bulldin. under. NATIONAL GUARD Cent Over 1939 Car riers Assist. Due principally to the fact that a record-breaking number of old subscribers, who prev iously paid by . the month, have taken advantage-of the greatly reduced yearly rate, 'he Med ford Mail Tribune's annual Bar gain Days at the end of the first week yesterday showed a S3 percent subscription increase over the corresponding period of the 1939 Bargain Days, it was announced by the circulation department. The Bargain Days period will definitely end tomorrow, Mon day, and as a courtesy for those who work late the business of fice will remain open until 10 p. m. Subscription rate for the year by carrier is $6; by mail In Jackson, Josephine and Sis kiyou counties is $4.50. It was requested by the cir culation department that all those wishing to subscribe through a carrier, but who have not yet made arrangements, telephone the Mail Tribune of fice, 2141. before 2:30 p.. m. Monday, so that the carrier' can, call and v receive the .subscrip tion payment as early ;as' pos sible. . ' " .. It was alio explained by the circulation department that it was impossible for the Mail Tribune to'renew ot accept new subscriptions by ' telephone or by, -majl, unless the letter was accompanied by the full price of the subscription. The sub scription money must be paid at. the time of renewal, it was emphasized. The Mail Tribune's 44 car riers have been working day and night to receive subscrip tion money, and many of them have had unique experiences in making collections. For in stance: D. O. Lindsey, who de livers motor route F, called on one of his regular subscribers Friday and found that her son was out of town and the only way she could renew her sub scription was to make a trip into town and draw the money from her savings account. She had no means of transportation for the five miles to Medford so Lindsey brought her to the bank here, collected for the subscription, and returned her to her home. Lindsey delivers to 294 reg ular subscribers and travels 37 miles each day. To date, he has collected Bargain Days sub scriptions from almost two thirds of his customers. And like Ljndsey, many of the other carriers have given similar courtesies to subscribers wish ing to take advantage of the Bargain Days rate savings. However, it was pointed out by the circulation department, it was hoped that readers would not request the carriers to do things Monday evening as most of them have so many calls now that they will .find it dif ficult to finish by 10 p. m. Monday. going remodeling, would not be completed in time for district court this fall. Mr. DeSouza said he received generous cooperation from all the county officials in provid ing accommodations for the fed eral court.
