The state department of voca tional education will cooperate this year with the Medford school district and the Fruit Growers' league of Jackson county In sponsoring the pear packing school here beginning about July 14, the league an nounced today. It Is planned to start the school before the earlier pears are ready for packing, giving those interested an opportunity to com plete the course and be ready for work as the pears are re ceived at the packing houses. Make Good Money In a recent survey of local labor conditions by the Fruit Growers' league and Walter Morse of the state department of vocational education, it was found that there Is a shortage of qualified local packers. It is hoped that by holding local packing schools, enough people will qualify to supply the de mand for packers. In this con nection It was pointed out that packers may earn comparatively large sums considering the amount of time devoted to the work. I Any resident of Jackson' county between the ages of 16 and 33 may enroll. A small fee will be charged, which will be refunded to all who complete the course. While steady employment Is ' not guaranteed, representatives J of the fruit industry have as sured those sponsoring the school 1 that all who qualify by finishing the course should have no diffi- culty being placed. A certifi-! cate will be granted each indi vidual as soon as he satisfac torily completes the require ments of the course. No Added Fee Arrangements have been made to permit all students enrolled in last year's school to take the course this summer without pay ment of additional fees.

Y.p June 13 (JP) New York counted 31 mur ders avenged today with the electrocution of Harry (Pitta burgh Phil) Strauss and Martin (Buggsy) Goldstein, chief execu tioners of the fantastic Brooklyn murder syndicate. Between 10 and 10:09 p. m. last night, the two men died in the Sing Sing electric chair, both silent in their final mo ments. Goldstein was first, then Strauss grinning strangely. It was hard to audit the books of the murder-for-money firm, but officers estimated Strauss and Goldstein alone had slain 31 persons. They were put to death for strangling Irving Feinstein. small-time bookmaker and po lice informer. Feinstein'a body was soaked In oil and burned in a vacant lot. Strauss, who had feigned In sanity, gave up shortly before he died and talked for the first time since he entered prison.
