Administrators; City Elec
tion Set for November 5
The city council voted last
right to take over management
and operation of the armory
during the year Medford's na
tional viuard units, now mobilis
ed In the regular army, are at
camp.
The city had been asked by
the commanding general to take
charge of trie armory; otherwise
the building would have to be
locked up for a year, it was
brought out.
A resolution was adopted au
thorizing the mayor to appoint
a ciiireri? cr.mmittee of at !eat

armory vtho'..t coat to the state

The building and l!ht com
mit'., thxor.gh iu cnairman, J
F. Xrlckson, mhmitted a detall
eJ report on operation of the
armory, listing th present reve
nue and 2xpenea and estimat
ing operating costs .'or tne com
ing year. The report embodied
an appropriation of $800 to take
care ot whpt appeared to be a
norma! ileflcil, neither lh state
nor federal government appar
ently providing funds for oper
ation and maintenance of the
building during the year the
city will be custodian.
Councilman M. N. Hogan,
however, objected to the ap
propriation and suggested that
first an effort be made to In
crease the revenues sufficiently
to make both ends meet. Upon
motion of H. S. Deuel, provi
sion for the appropriation was
stricken from the committee's
report and the report as amend
ed was then adopted. It was
Indicated the proposed appro
priation ot $800 was Intended
to pay for janitor and custodial
service, $600 a year, and for re
pairs and maintenance, $200.
Duty Seen-
It was the consensus of the
council that it was the patriotic
duty of the city to take over
management of the armory. It
was also agreed that an effort
should be made to increase the
revenues of the building so that
Income would offset outgo. Sev
eral councilmen said that the
veteran organizations using the
armory as their meeting place
would unquestionably help in
plans designed to increase the
revenues.
Election Set.
In a formal resolution the
council set November 3 for the
regular city election. To be
elected are a mayor, recorder
treasurer and five councilmen.
One councilman is to be elected

which led to a special levy of
two mills a year for five years
for the repair of streets. Sub
sequently, the streets were re
cor.tr'ic!ed through a PWA
grant and the special levy was
no longer needed. The special
tax was levied only one year.

Berlin. Sept. 18. (rP Thou
sands of leaflets extolling the
German "master race' 'and vili
fying Poles as second-rate hu
man beings were distributed to
Berlin households today by the
"Volksbund for G e r m a ndom
Abroad."
The circulars bore a purple
Roman-letter "P" against a yel
low, diamond -shaped back
ground, and called attention to
Reichsmarshal Hermann Wil
helm Goering'i order for all
Polish laborers, both men and
women, to wear such an in
signia on the right chest side
of every garment.
Unfit for Marriage.
Poles were called unfit for
inter-marriage or even comrade
ship with Germans.
"German living space of the
future will contain many non
German elements," the Volks
bund declared. "Therefore, it
is important to educate our en
tire people up to the dangers
lurking in such living together
with foreign elements."
The conquered Poles were de
scribed as especially despicable,
the leaflets said, "because the
atrocities in Poland compelled
the fuehrer to protect our Ger
mans there with armed forces."
Farmers and factory owners
were warned not to permit Pol
ish laborers to write long let
ters home lest they contain un
true statements about Germany.
The Poles, moreover, are to be
given no cash-

leu available tin as a lining for

out for coating copper-plated
steel with a millionth of an inch
of silver, and for evaporating
a thin layer of the metal on the
inner surface of varnished cans.

chlorine in the treatment of
