FARM CREDIT CO-OP TO AID DEFENSE BY Members of the Medford Pro duction Credit association are buying their "share in the United States" through the pur chase of defense savings stamps, which went on sale at the asso ciation's office in Medford to day. Bren H. Starcher, secretary- treasurer of the association, an nounced the local farmers' credit cooperative, a unit of the Farm Credit Administration, was handling the stamps as its part in the nation-wide program to encourage Investment by farmers in defense savings. "There are three reasons why farmers should invest in defense savings," Starcher pointed out. "First, it is a good thing for the country to have as large number of its people as possible own a share in their govern mcnt. Second, wide Investment in defense savings will have a steadying Influence on the cost of living. Third, In any time of emergency or uncertainty, It is wise for the people to save money." Stamps may be purchased in denominations of 10, 23 and SO cents, $1 and $3, and may be exchanged for defense saving's bonds when the stamps total $18.73. Such a bond has a ma turity value of $23 in 10 years. .1 Based on the blossom-to-harvest theory of 120 days, picking of the Bartlrtt pear crop should start the end of next week, ac cording to Assistant County Agent C. B. Cordy. However, he doubts if any will be ready by that time, and figures harvesting will start full swing around August 1. Threshing of vetch seed start ed today in many fields, and County Agent R. G. Fowler said it would be one of the best grain crops of the valley. Threshing and binding of wheat, oats and barley is underway throughout the county. Canada has 30,000 men In the Royal Air Force.

OT A, ;t RATIONING NEAR L 'Party Is Over' As Far As Retail Sales Boom Con cerned, Is Warning Atlantic City, N. J.. July 14 (JP) Leon Henderson assert ed bluntly today that "the party Is over" as far as the re tail sales boom occasioned by defense spending is concerned. The administrator of the Of fice of Price Administration and Civilian Supply said in a speech prepared for a meeting 4)f the New York Housewares Manu facturers association that de fense needs would require ra tioning of the materials which go into manufacturing articles the public has been buying In ever-increasing amounts. It already has become appar ent, he said, that practically no aluminum would be available for civilian use after military needs were met and "it la be coming evident now that the amount of copper, steel, nickel zinc, chromite, manganese and a number of other materials re quired for armaments is going to be so great that we won t have enough left over for con sumers durable goods." Inflation Danger This, he continued, "means rationing, not by cards at the stores but at the raw materials line, and rationing means that someone is going to get hurt, Henderson said there was I grave danger of inflation and that the Office of Price Admin istration was going to "barge ahead in the fight against it FIVE TO APPEAR AUTO COURT Cited by state police Sunday to appear in Justice of the peace court on charges of traffic vio lations were the following: Russell L.
