PAGE SIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON," TUESDAY, JULY 1, 1941. Fred MacMurray of Screen Proves Adept Fisherman in Vacation at Diamond Lake Br BUI Walker. Jr. Diamond Lake, Ore., June 30. (Special Correspondence) Although staunch In upholding the beauty of her own itate, Cali fornia, Mrs. Fred MacMurray commenting upon Oregon said, "Mr. MacMurray and I both like Oregon very much. We think It a beautiful state, and next to California we like it best." Vacationing at Diamond lakel for the last week, the Mac Mur ray! came to Oregon from Can ada, where they had been for two weeks. Fishing, being the main object of their extensive travels, Mr. Mac Murray fished every day at the lake, and made . several trips back to the sur rounding streams in the Dia mond lake vicinity. "Fred fishes every stream that we come to," smiled Mrs. Mac Murray. "And at home when he has a few hours off, he im mediately gets his tackle and goes to one of the lakes near our home, Asked about his latest picture. uive Bomber," Mr. Mac Mur ray replied, "I enjoyed making the picture very much, and learned a lot In the actual pro- auction 01 it. The picture concerns the elim ination of black-outs in a power aive and is a technical aviation picture. Playing with him in this latest Paramount production, which has not been released as yet. Is Errol Flynn. The Mac Murrays were quiet anxious to get home when they left Diamond lake Susan, their 13 months old daughter, had lust begun to "toddle"' as Mrs. Mac Murray described it, and that was a major event in the daughter's life, as far as they .were concerned. The minute I mentioned stream fishing, Mr. Mac Murray listened for all the details and was ready to go we went to the outlet of Diamond lake. Lake Creek, and fished from there downstream. I took a look at all of Fred's equipment and thought to myself, "Another Californian with lots of expens ive tackle, but can he use it?" My question was answered soon after we started downstream. He casta a beautiful fly, has per fect control, and probably knows his river fishing as well as any ardent Rogue river nimrod. Although the dav Was atnrmv (hail stones as big as marbles, and they could have cold-cocked a trout if the fish raised far enough), we caught a few fish. Later he went down on the same stream and caught his limit. All the time we were on the creek, 1 noticed how natural he looked. Having seen all his pic tures such as, "Texas Rangers" and 'Trail of the Lonesome Pine" he appeared doubly well suited for his primitive setting. He got a "kick" out of the weather and took It all with his usual smile. I certainly enjoyed fishing with him. not Just be cause he was Fred Mac Murray, but because he was such a fine fellow. E IN WEATHER LEDGER IN ALL DEPARTMENTS June tried to be an outstand ing month, as far as weather records were concerned, but failed to make the grade, weather bureau reports showed today. With the exception of 1913 the past June was the coolest since 1911. Average temperature for June 1941 was 82.8 as compared to 62.0 In 1913. Highest temperature reg istered was 102 on June 11 only to be put to shame by a record 109 in June, 1911. Despite rainy days scattered through the month June was not particularly conspicuous as a wet month either. For weather bureau records show total precipitation for June 1941 to be only 1.69 inches as compared to 3.49 in 1931, wet test on record; 2.S4 in 1929 and 3.09 in 1913. Season precipitation from September 1, 1940, through June 30, 1941, shows an excess of 3.12 as compared to an ex cess of 4.92 for the same period a year ago. SCOUT LEADERS MOST OF STORES TO CLOSE FRIDAY ELEANOR I. JONES PASSES. AGED 58 It was generally believed among business men today that In general most of the stores of Medford would be closed all day Friday, the Fourth of July. All stores will be open for business Saturday, the usual Saturday hours prevailing. Stores that ordinarily remain open all the time, such as phar macies, and some groceries, probably will not close on Fri day, it was indicated. Retailers here no longer have an organi zation and so there is no uni formity in closing hours or in observance of holidays. It was pointed out. AT SEASON PEAK The berry crop of the Rogue River valley is now at peak with raspberries, youngberries and boysenberries plentiful. Most of the crop Is used locally, with some shipments to north ern California points and Klam ath county. The warm sun of the past three days has caused all crops to grow, after the rain and cool weather of last week. Corn in many sections of the valley has started to tassel and tomatoes to flowei. Fifteen Senior Scouts and Scout leaders left Medford today to enter a 9-day period of train ing at the Boy Scout camp at Lake O' the Woods under direc tion of Kenneth Wells, local Boy Scout executive. The second period of camp will open July 6 with the first contingent of about fifty Boy Scouts spending a full week in the camp. The entire season of five weeks lasts until August 3. According to Wells, the third and fourth weeks of the camp are already neartng capacity in advance registrations. Leaving today for opening of camp are Kenneth Wells. Chris Barker, Dick Sleeter, Charles Davis, Bob Holmes, and James Hoey of Medford; Roger Zwan ziger, and Delmar Kolda of Weed, Bill Jones of Yreka. George Schrader of Mt. Shasta. The kitchen staff will consist of George Corum and Bob Dager of Medford and Alvis Winn of Gold Hill.

SATISFACTION FILED IN AUTO DEAL SUIT Satisfaction of Judgment In full was filed in circuit court yesterday In the suit of the Medford Garage against George W. Field. A circuit court Jury 10 days ago returned a verdict awarding the garage the return of an Oldsmobile and $32 30. The action was based on an automobile trade-in sale and deal. NEW STORE HOURS DAILY 7:30 A. M.-5:30 P. M. SATURDAY 7:30 A. M. 8:00 P. M. HUBBARD BROS. By Schuyler Allman ' Oklahoma City, July 1. Oklahoma's state government approximately $39,000,000 in debt embarked today on a hard-boiled pay-as-you-go fiscal policy that may be used as a national model. No salaries can be paid, noth ing can be bought, unless the cash Is at hand. Officials who exceed the amounts apportioned to them become personally liable and may be removed from office. The voters, at the insistent prodding of Gov. Leon C. Phil lips, drew the public purse strings tight with a constitution al amendment last March out lawing deficits. It became effec tive today, with the new fiscal year. Debt-ridden states have writ ten for Information. Copies of the amendment will be sent to every state by the National As sociation of State Auditors, Comptrollers and Treasurers. Like Alabama Roger Phelps, assistant state auditor, said that as far as he knew only Alabama had a com parable debt-limit law. Change to a cash basis was easy. A $3,500,000 cushion of frozen income taxes, paid In March but withheld from the general fund, absorbed the shock. Briefly, the amendment works like this: The state board of equllizatlon estimates total revenue beyond which the legislature cannot ap propriate without first levying new taxes. Each division gets monthly statements of available cash from the state auditor. If these indicate revenue is sufficient, di visions are free to obligate the full appropriation. If revenues run behind, each department or institution takes a pro rata monthly reduction. Oklahoma will be out of debt by 1956, Phelps said, if the state decides to fund the overdraft of the last biennium about $17, 000,000 over a 15-year period. NOVICE ANGLER GETS DIAMOND LAKE GIANT Dr. Kenneth Palmer of Berk eley, Cal., fishing for the first time in his life, hooked and landed the second largest rain bow trout ever caught in Dia mond lake recently. The fish was 36 inches long, weighed 22 pounds, and had a 22-inch girth. It took half an hour to land the piscatorial wonder and two men to get it into the boat, as the fish net was too small. Alaska has but eight incor porated cities. Russian Resistance Powers Undecided in Ten Day War Br OeWitt MacKensle Ten days of fierce and destructive warfare along the two thousand mile front between the mighty German and Russian fighting machines has failed to produce conclusive evidence as to the Bolshevist powers of resistance to the most powerful army ever sent Into action. . This is to say that while the nazia have driven deep into en emy territory, and claim that along the strategic Minsk high way in the center of the Rus sian line they have thrust their mechanized column something like half way to Moscow, they haven't yet won a decisive en gagement They have laid the foundations for what may be a great and quick victory, but they still have to capitalize them. However, Britain and her al lies will be rash to gamble that their respite from heavy Ger man assault In the western theatre will be long. Judging from , past performances, and from present progress. Hitler may be in Moscow in short order. He may also have attain ed his other objectives, includ ing the rich Ukraine. That is still a matter of spec ulation. We lack information regarding the real strength of the much advertised Red army, and the stability of the vast Soviet Union with its hetero geneous population of 170,000, 000 or more. One wonders whether communist chief Stalin himself has any idea of Just how much power he has back of him, or whether he can har ness and utilize what there is. Civilian morale in Russia will have much to do with the ulti mate outcome, as I see it. While touring Europe and the Balkans a few months before the European conflict broke out, I found that official opin ion everywhere held Russia to be Impotent in the matter of war. The general belief was that, while the Soviet had great numerical strength in men and mechanical equipment, there would be danger of a political upheaval In event of war. In every instance, however, it was admitted that the truth of these guesses never would be known until the Bolshevists actually - went to war. Since then we have had the Russian adventures in Finland and Po land, but neither of these ac tions produced much conclusive evidence. Thomas R. Keaton was fined $10 and costs in Justice court yesterday on a plea of guilty of having no declared truck weight receipt. Edgar Lee Coghill, route 1, charged with having only one headlight on his car, was as sessed $1 and costs. Orvil A. Hunter was fined the same for having no muffler. James C. Stelle, charged with failure to stop at the Sixth and Central avenue stop-sign, was scheduled to appear in court today. Winters in the temperate lat itudes of South America are warmer than in North America and Asia, and the summers are cooler. ON LOCAL FARMS SEEN IN OFFING Employment ' Manager Ex 1 pects Situation to Become Acute Draft Deferment Technically speaking, there is no unemployment in Jackson or Josephine county now, there is no acute shortage of farm labor at present but there will be in the near future, Lewis Ulrich, manager of the state employ ment service for the two coun ties, stated today. When Mr. Ulrich was Inter viewed by the Mail Tribune this morning, waiting in the office were half a dozen men who he said were available to fill farm Jobs. It is only through this cur rent flow of unemployed men to the office that applications for workers can be filled immediate ly, Mr. Ulrich said. The registry of unemployed men is not truly indicative of the present situa tion as most of those registered probably have temporary or seasonal Jobs and have not yet notified the office, he explained. Nevertheless whenever an order for workers is received, the reg istry is combed in an effort to fill the request, Mr. Ulrich re lated, adding that this sometimes requires days. Draft Deferment At selective service local board headquarters it was stated that recently authorization had been received to defer regis trants for agricultural work. It was emphasized, however, that such deferment is based on a complete study of each individ ual case. Mr. Ulrich said many farmers are availing themselves of the free services of the employment office and he invited all of them to do so and keep in close touch either by telephone or personal calls with the office. There is no charge for the service to either employers or employes, he point ed out. Mr. Ulrich foresaw a shortage of farm help for the near future when orchard work starts in earnest and a little later when the hop crop Is to be harvested. So far as women were con cerned, the employment office is unable to fill the calls for do mestic help, Mr. Ulrich stated. Twenty-seven signers of the Declaration ot Independence, almost half, were college graduates.
