MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1942.
OUTGROWS SPACE
Old Army Radio Station
Inarienuate For Care Of
Growing List of Air Men
One of the civilian defense
activities that has completely
outgrown its quarters Is the mnt
tary canteen at Medford munici
pal airport.
Set up last summer to serve
the air corps men stationed at
the airport and the officers and
men passing through in service
planes, the canteen now struggles
desperately to meet the growing
demands upon it. It is housed
in the old army radio station, a
cubbyhole only 16 feet by 20
feet in overall dimensions. Yet
this little spot was called upon
recently to serve 160 meals in
one day. It did, but how remains
a kind of mystery even to, the
recreation committee.
Needed now, the recreation
committee believes, is a place at
the airport large enough not only
for a lunch room but a lounging
room and even a place where
tired pilots may stretch out for
40 winks.
Need Food, Rett
The many pilots coming
through here these days need
food, warmth and a place to rest,
it was pointed out by Mrs. Alfred
S. V. Carpenter, recreation com
mittee chairman. The pilots and
their crews come in almost any
time during the day or night and
frequently a little relaxation
means everything to them. The
men can't leave the field to go
to town until released by their
officers and frequently this
means a long wait at the airport.
Frequently, also, all hands must
stay at the airport, ready to take
off again after their planes have
been serviced or awaiting further
orders.
Yet there are no adequate
lounging facilities and no place
at all to lie down for a brief but
restful sleep. The canteen has a
lunch counter, one couch and
one easy chair that's all there
is room for. With the canteen's
limited facilities, the manage
ment has done marvellously
well, Mrs. Carpenter said in
pointing out how badly a larger
place is needed for the benefit
of the fighting men of the air.
The military canteen, a self
sustaining unit, is managed by
Mrs. A. Conro Fiero, who is as
sisted by two volunteer workers.
Direct supervision is In the hands
of Mrs. W. H. Fluhrer, chairman
of the military canteen sub-committee.
Tule Homesteads lo
Be Opened This Fall
Klamath FalTs, Jan. 21 (P
Reclamation Superintendent B.
E. Hayden said today that 7500
acres of land in the Tule lake
area east of Stronghold will be
open to homesteading next fall.
The land, which has been too
wet for cultivation, will be
drained by the Tule lake sump
tunnel project.
Mrs. D'Albini Talks
On Citizen Classes
At Rotary Meeting
Mrs. G. Q. D'Albini, who has
headed the D.A.R. program of
education for new citizens here
for many years, discussed tl
work of local citizenship classes
before the Medford Rotary club
Tuesday noon, at Hotel Med
ford. Mrs. D'Albini urged Rotarlans
and the general public not to
let the Pearl harbor "stab in
the back" warp their Judgment
in appraising foreign born
Americans or even aliens. Most
of these people are loyal to this
nation, Mrs. D'Albini reminded
her audience. Her statement
was based upon several years
of personal direction of the
D.A.R. citizenship classes, dur
ing which time more than 400
people have made a study of
the system of American govern
ment and have passed their
tests for citizenship.
The lesson of the first world
war showed how vital Is the
need of careful selection of new
citizens, Mrs. D'Albini said. The
various requirements of citizen
ship were outlined and work of
the D.A.R. described. Recent
and pending legislation dealing
with the problem of immigra
tion was discussed.
Dangerous so-called "fifth-column"
activities in this country
and possessions have focused
public attention upon the in
creasing need for restriction of
the number of immigrants and
the importance of exercising
greater care in choosing these
future Americans, the speaker
declared.

BIRTHS
Washington, Jan. 21
For a daring exploit brilliantly
accomplished, the navy wrote a
new name on the role of its
war heroes today and added one
more ship to Japanese losses for
the Philippines invasion.
The name belonged to 30-
year-old Lieutenant John D.
Bulkeley of Long Island City,
N. Y., who rocketed a swift mo
tor torpedo boat into enemy
held Binanga bay and tor
pedoed a 9,000-ton Japanese ves
sel, despite a storm of enemy
fire.
Spectacular Debut
Thus did the navy's new
"P.T." boat make Its spectacu
lar debut in the Pacific war
theatre and the action undoubt
edly heralded many similar
attacks in the future.
The nocturnal assault, sug
gesting anew the steadily wider
operations of Admiral Thomas
S. Hart's far eastern command,
was reported by the navy de
partment in a communique last
night which said that Bulkeley
"has been commented for exe
cuting his commission success
fully."
Bulkeley had eight seamen,
as yet unidentified, in his crew,
but the matter-of-fact navy
statement hardly hints at the
nerve-racking peril of their mad
dash. It reports merely that
'this small boat carried out its
difficult task while under fire
of machine guns and three-inch
shore batteries."
The greatest protection the
men had was the speed of their
powerful craft, whose 4,200
horsepower engine is capable of
producing a maximum of about
70 knots, or 84 miles an hour.

hospital. '
TO BE PICKED UP
Because of added activity on
the streets of Medford, the city
dog ordinance will be rigidly
enforced in the future as a mat
ter of public safety, it was an
nounced today by Chief of Po
lice Clttous McCrcdie.
The county court has set the
dog license fee a' $1.50 for both
male and female, and the license
is due and payable now at the
county clerk's office, Chief Mc
Credic pointed out.
"In the future, the chief stat
ed, "all dogs within the city will
be compelled to wear the license
tag, and If not wearing same
will be considered as strays and
treated as such. There will be
a penalty for failure to secure
the licenses by March 1,"
Capt. Harold Woods
To Construct Ogden
Shell Loading Plant
Capt. Harold Woods, former
Medford resident now in the
army in Utah, has been appoint
ed project officer in charge of
construction of a large addition
to a 37-millimeter shell-loading
plant at Ogden, it was stated in
an Ogden newspaper reaching
here today. The newspaper pub
lished a long story about the ap
pointment, together with a photo
graph of Capt. woods.
Prior to his appointment Capt.
Woods had been assigned to the
project for several months, di
recting the installation of utili
ties at 'he big plant. The addi
tions include 64 buildings. He
was also 'In charge of the In
stallation of utilities for the
original units of the shell plant,
comprising more than 100 build
ings. When called from the reserves
to active duty in 1940, Capt.
Woods disposed of his lumber
business interests here and at
Eagle Point and went to Utah to
help in the defense construction
program.
CYCLIST INJURED
David Todd, 16, of Route 2,
box 145 was knocked uncon
scious about 7 a. m. today when
the bicycle he was riding was
struck by an automobile driven
by M. B. Lindley of Blackwell
hill at the intersection of How
ard avenue and the Pacific high
way near state police headquar
ters north of the city.
The youth suffered an exten
sive scalp wound and a concus
sion, but so far as could be im
mediately determined his skull
was not fractured, his doctor
said. The boy was also bruised
and cut slightly. He was taken
to Community hospital in the
Perl ambulance.
District Attorney George W. '
Neilson quoted Lindley, an em
ploye of the Medford Corpora
tion, as explaining that the
youth rode his bicycle out of
Howard avenue onto the Pacific
highway into the path of his
southbound car.

RESPECT IS URGED
City police today again re
quested motorists to exercise
extreme care not to break into
funeral process 7ns, the automo
biles In which have their head
lights burning in order to desig
nate their position in the proces
sion. Recently, police said, several
funeral processions have been
broken into by uncourteous
drivers, and they emphasized
the fact that much needless dis
comfort was thereby caused
those motorists mourning for
deceased friends or relatives.
