MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1941.
LIONS CLUB TOLD
OF FUTILE VISIT
TO
The wheel that tqueakf the
loudest is the one that geti the
grease," Edwin H. Mann of
Mann' Auto Service, quoted at
the weekly dinner-meeting of
the Lions club In the Hotel
Medford last night as he spoke
of procuring small contracts for
national defense work.
A member of the Lions 'club,
Mr. Mann said he responded to
a call from the government to
visit the Red, White and Blue
train in Portland Monday to see
the exhibit of defense articles
and parts that could be pro
duced by small concerns. Ho
stated that he saw many parts
that could be assembled in his
own auto body and trailer man
ufacturing shop and some units
that could be entirely assembled
there.
Saying' that he had expected
to come home to Medford wltn
his pockets bulging with orders.
Mr. Mann was Informed by the
government men on the display
train that the agency in charge
of the exhibit was not the one
awarding contracts and that' to
be considered for a contract one
would have to file applications
through various bureaus In
Washington, D. C'
When Mr. Mann questioned
the government officials on the
train on the value of his trip
to Portland he inferred from
the replies that to procure eon
tracts concerted action would
have to be taken by groups In
Medford to create enough pub
licity and pressure to gain rec
ognition of the need for defense
work in this community As an
example of this round-about
procedure, Mr. Mann said he
was cited the case of a small
Ohio town that recently snatch
ed a contract from a Portland
concern, the low bidder, because
Its business interests showed Im
pending suffering for Its citizens
if its plants were forced into
idleness because of defense work
done elsewhere.
Mr. Mann said it would not
be difficult for Medford busi
ness men to compile statistics
showing how many machinists,
metal workers, and other skilled
mechanics and apprentices had
been diverted from local chan
nels to designated defense areas.
This list, Mr. Mann said, would
offer a strong argument for the
placing of defense orders here.
Eston Humphrey, club presi
dent, announced that a Christ
mas party was being planned
for December 17. Meetings on
December 24 and 31, he said,
would be at the lunch hour
Instead of the customary din
ner hour.

dog.
