MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUXE. MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, JULY 7. 1942. PAGE THREE AT LAKE 0' WOODS OPEN WEDNESDAY Capacity Attendance Slated for 14th Consecutive Year Staff Goes First. For the fourteenth consecu tive year. Camp McLoughlin, ummer camp - of the Crater Lake Area Boy Scout council will open Wednesday when the camp staff under direction of Kenneth Wells Boy Scout exe cutive goes into camp. The first group of campers will arrive on the following Sunday and periods will change weekly until August 2. "We are opening with the camp filled to capacity with prospects for a fine attendance of scouts from Jackson, Josep hine, and Siskiyou counties dur ing the entire season", said Wells today. Girls Also Use Camp The camp at Lake o' Woods on National Forest land is owned by the local Boy Scout organization but is also under use by the Girl Scouts and the Campfire Girls following the Boy Scout camp. There are fif teen permanent buildings and eight tent frames on the camp site allowing for accommodation of 100 campers and leaders. The buildings include dining hall, hospital tool house, recreation lodge, camp office, and sleeping cabins. Arrangement of . the camp permits campers to be organ ized Into patrols of eight and ten boys under their own lead ership. Each patrol has a cabin or floored tent for its own use, a group of four such patrols making up a troop under leader ship of the scoutmaster and at lease two assistants. . The camp is fully equipped and the waterfront program is excellent including two sail boats, two twenty-five foot canoes, and eight row boats. The waterfront will be under direction of men trained by the American Red Cross. Some Boys Aided A sizeable percentage of all the boys who attend the camp come on the basis of fuller part "campships". This means that they are given some financial help to enable them to attend the camp. These campers who were unable to finance their full period in camp are merged in the regular camp program and no distinctions whatever are made. The camp staff for this year will consist of Wells as camp director; Miles Kelly, waterfront director and camp doctor; Henry Van Berger, Louis Pow ell, Frank Fabiano, Eugene Wellman, Jack Holmes, Bill Patton Glen Kircher, and Dick Alford. The kitchen staff will consist of four persons. Since establishment of the camp over 2600 southern Ore gon and Nortehern California boys have enjoyed Scout camp ing in this camp. All aspects of the Boy Scout program will be emphasized this year but special emphasis will be placed upon emergency service training. SPOKANE FACING Spokane, July 7 (IP) Unless rents in Spokane are "Immedi ately stabilized in the Spokane defense rental area" a rent ceil ing will be placed In effect by the OPA, Joseph E. Hurley. Spokane OPA enforcement at torney, said today. The April 29 order designat ing Spokane county as a defense rental area did not establish a ceiling but recommended that rents be not advanced beyond those of March 1, 1942, Hurley explained. "It is regrettable many (land lords) have not followed these suggestions," he added. UNCANNY Iberia.

He'd used the family's entire supply of canning sugar. Denmark is less than half the size of Maine.

APPLY MEDFORD CORPORATION Steve Wilson Hog Brings $95.45 On 'Frisco Slock Mart Beall Lane, July 7 (Spl.) Steven Wilson didn't take a pic ture of Piggy Wiggy Woo be cause he considered him just an ordinary pig, at least he had no tags in his ear nor any blue rib bons to his credit. However, when he brought $93.45 for a weight of 830 pounds on the San Francisco market Wilson concluded the animal really de served a camera shot. The full-grown porker attract ed considerable attention at the O. T. Wilson place, where his size and weight were the sub ject of much guessing. Returns from the market showed how far off the , guessers were with the exception of Ted Simms, who, whether he knows hogs or not, has the honor of missing the "critter's" weight by only a few pounds. Wilson grows hogs by for mula from the Oregon State col lege and believes now his pro duct get at least part of the necessary vitamlnes. News Behind The News By Paul Mallon , (Continued Pram Pag Om) before Henderson raised the price on canned citrus fruits. Certain powerful administra tion senators, including Pepper of Florida and Connally of Texas, steamed into Hender son's division with protests and got their way. This time, however, the In ner pressure was stronger and longer. Many vegetable and fruit growers complained their prices did not reflect parity to grow ers, although the price control law requires this. They went to both Henderson and Agricul ture Secretary Wickard. Even the American Farm Bu reau federation demanded Wick ard exert his veto power. When he hesitated, he was threatened with a campaign of opposition in congress. So finally the farm bureau wrote a leter to Henderson demanding that the prices be raised. Henderson sought a way out. He tried to get congress to pass a subsidy bill, providing a bonus to the growers. Con gress refused. His appropriation bill was coming up for consid eration. He relented. I AN DING of those German - saboteurs from subs along our shores has not caused grave apprehensions here. Probably more were landed than have been caught, but Britain has been finding rubber boats along her shores constantly during the war, yet has held sabotage to a minimum. The proof that the situation is well in hand is that little sabotage , has been apparent; only major incident in this coun try since the war started the Normandie. WHILE the tax bill does not " please anyone. It is not go ing to be changed much before it is enacted about October 1. Not many congressmen are really dismayed that the bill fell S2.600.000.000 short of rais ing Treasury Secretary Morgen thau's goal of $8,600,000,000, at least not sufficiently dismayed to enact a sales tax against treasury opposition. They told Morgenthau they would add the sales tax, and hence the rev enue, if he would give the word, but he refused. The bill is called a $6,000, 000,000 measure, but that title may give people the wrong im pression. It will add $6,000, 000.000 in taxes to the $18,000, 000.000 you are already paying, making $24,000,000,000 in all or about 30 per cent of the national income. APPARENTLY some Informa tion available in Washing ton is not always complete. I have received the following cor rection on a recent column from a Texas editor: "I have just made a slight change In one of your para graphs, regarding the sugar sit uation you state: "'A Texas factory said it was going to shut down because it had no storage space left.'

"Meanwhile the berry crop of this vicinity, largest of record, ripened and died on the bushes for lack of sugar. The canning and preserving plant in the neighboring county of Orange did not open for business, be cause of lack of sugar. Appli cations for sugar for preserving, made weeks ago, are Just get ting into the hands of the grow ers much too late. . "Three weeks ago I made application for 10 pounds of sugar for canning purposes. I got my permit today. "And they want to ration gasoline in these parts, while we are wading around in the stuff shoe-mouth deep.

Get yours now. 533.95 ' And Up ALSO-OIL CIRCULATORS See Us for Particulars Grants Pass Mayor and Councilman in Feud Over Salaries Grants Pass, July 7 (Spl.) Councilman Sam McConnell Fri day denied Mayor W. E. Moore had the right of power to place any member of the fire depart ment "on probation." and re quested him "to refrain from giving any orders to any em ploye in my department, or to subject them to any humiliation or publicity in regards to their thoughts." McConnell is chairman of the council's fire committee. He made his request In reply to a letter from the mayor an nouncing formally that Moore had placed Fire Chief Homer Grable on probation "insofar as I (the mayor) am concerned." Moore's letter also had asserted that Grable had "admitted he was partly to blame" for Mc Connell's Wednesday night cri ticism of other council members and city budget committee in reducing a promised wage in crease for city employes. Meanwhile, Ben Graybill, who turned in his badge of office as police chief, issued a public statement Friday giving his own version of events leading up to Thursday morning's city hall upset, a version which was not identical with Mayor Moore's account given Thursday. Graybill reported the mayor had insistently asked why the police chief did not turn in his monthly departmental report to the mayor personally, and was not satisfied with the answer that the mayor was absent from his office, therefore two copies of the report were delivered to City Auditor C.
