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. I
The school will be held In
Pinnacle Packing company plant
number 2. Qualified Instructors
will be provided. At present two
classes have been planned, one
from 8 a. m. to 12 noon, and,

MURDER FIRM DIE
IN ELECTRIC SEAT
Pittsburgh Phil Strauss and
Buggsy Goldstein Believed
to Have Murdered 31
Osslnlng, N. 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. He
talked, among other people, to
Evelyn Mittleman, known in
Brooklyn as "the kiss of death
girl," because five previous boy
friends died with sudden vio
lence. Straus was boy friend

ML VIE SUNDAY
ON AGATE DESERT
At their meeting Wednesday
night the Medford Prop Nuts,
gas model airplane club, made
final arrangements for the con
test to be held Sunday at 9 a. m.
on Agate desert Just north of the
Agate school on Midway road.
The contest, the fourth of this
season, promises to be the best
yet held, as the boys have been
turning in excellent times in
test hops,' Arlon Skinner and
Allen Buckingham both losing
their ships last weekend. Buck
ingham's ship was found Wed
nesday In the Antelope area,
about 13 miles from the take
off, but Skinner's has not been
located yet.
The club decided to award anN
extra 5 point in the trophy race
to every ship making one flight
before 9:30 a. m., as an incentive
to get the contest underway on
time.
Cold drink will be sold on
the field, the proceeds to be used
for prizes in future meets, and
that there will be no admission
charge to the public.
The local club also decided
Wednesday night to send a dele
gation to the Northwest Gas
Model association's meet to be
held in Salem July 13, and to
the Klamath Falls meet on June
29. The Klamath Falls club has
announced there will be $200 in
prizes to the winnen in their
