Newspaper Page TextI PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, MARCH 30, 1942. CRAFT'S PAPER WRITTEN UP IN LIFE MAGAZINE "Kodiak Bear" Gets Na tional Recognition "Fa ther" Former Medforite. " The "Kodiak Bear," breezy somewhat unorthodox but al ways highly interesting Kodiak, Alaska, army post paper sired by Lieut. Roy D. Craft, former Medford CCC officer, received a five-column splurge in the March 20 Issue of Life maga tine. Craft, after leaving Medford spent some time on the San Fran Cisco Examiner and being a re serve officer, was recalled to army service after establishment of Camp Ord. At the latter camp he started the "Panorama, later rated one of the best army papers in the country. It was largely because of his outstand ing work on the Panorama that Craft was ordered to Kodiak where he is serving as public relations officer under Brigadier General Charles H. Corlett, com mander at Fort Creely. Corpl. Gene Newhall is editor, teamed with Craft in producing the Kodiak Bear. Many Handicaps Despite the handicaps of war time censorship, lack of facili ties for picture making and the fact that the paper is printed in a shop on the mainland and copy is airmailed ashore, the "Bear" has not missed an issue. The last edition received at the Mail Tribune office, a few days ago, had this to say regarding regularity of publication: "The Kodiak Bear is In the groove at lastl Four editions this month, and now we can go to work on the March issues. Of course, the editions get out of sequence at times, because we're printing it in Anchorage by remote control and the trans portation is irregular, but no body seemed to mind when the February 10 issue got here ahead of the February I number. "Besides, we're not running any continued stories." TAX ClEClNS TOTAL $560,193 Tax collections in Jackson county for the first six months period on 1941 assessments total fS60.193.64, the tax collection department of the sheriff's office reported today. Collections for the full year assessments in March last year totaled $767,002.72. Compari sons between the two periods are indefinite due to one being for a full year and the other for a half year. This ear 902 more tax receipts were issued than last year. The tax delinquency this year for the first half la $334,133.92. LIVESTOCK Fort land Portland.

Soils of Jackson county farms are going to be kept in condi tion to produce this county's share of "Foods for Freedom," no matter how long the war lasts, if orders for phosphate fer tilizers through the AAA pro gram can be taken as a barome ter, Fred C.

The county Agricultural Con servation association has re ceived 300 tons of phosphate which have been distributed through the conservation mater ials program this year, the chairman reported.
