Thu tfier exfira 5pr. 30, 1943, CLIP THIS COUPON NOWI Allwrs r.iv S'sra, S341SHI StrM), Ooklstid, Calif. Incloe4 Is 90c tni i laSH frfn the top of s ptrlcir of Washington (U.R) War work ers coming to Washington bring along anything from a pet turtle to billy goats, complicating the problems of Roy Miller, man ager of the defense housing reg istry in Washington. "The girls from small towns present most of the problems, but other workers contribute their share," he said. He related one instance of a newcomer and her "hobby." She had no sooner taken a room than she started to show a hor rified landlady her "hobby." Out of her suitcase crawled live turtles and lizards with collar around their necks. She had packed bugs in small boxes to feed her pets. "Of course, she was an ex treme case," said Miller. "But a girl from California who ac cepted a civil service appoint ment planned to bring along her pet dogs. I advised her strong ly against it. Mountaineers Go Back A classic example of "bring ing bags and baggage into town" was furnished by an upstate New York family. The family circle" included father, mother. three children, a cat, a dog and two billy goats. They trailed into the registry to try to find an apartment for a month. They said they had found a place to stay after that date providing someone would take them in an apartment for a month. Miller said his most recent lt-can't-be-solved case was of a West Virginia mountain family that came to Washington with the daughter who had been re cruited for a $l,440-a-year Job. Dad, mom, grandad, and HI' sis came with the breadwinner to seek their fortune in Washing ton. They planned to stay "for some time" until they could find work themselves. The registry found the cheapest accommoda tions to be had, $1 a day per person at a tourist home. After one day in the Capital City they took themselves back to the mountains of West Virginia. "Rents are too high," they said. No Room For Children Miller strongly advises no one to come to Washington without a Job. His slogan is "See your local civil service office first." Too many become stranded here. He also discourages self-supporting women with children from leaving home to como to defense areas. "We have to discourage them," he explained. "Many people will not rent to families with children; there is no place to put them in the daytime, and domestic labor is high. Invar iably such a woman decides it's all a mistake after being here two weeks, and goes back home We try to save the government a lot of paper work and the ex pense of breaking her in Dy keeping such a woman at home."

Suggested reclamation bureau improvement for the Medford and Sams Valley areas in Jack son county has progressed far enough that proposals have been submitted to the Denver office. Engineer Fred H. Nichols said at his headquarters office here. Cost sheets are now being worked up for reconstruction and enlargement of the Med ford canal and surveys are un der way for three major creek crossings. Estimates on cost of reloca tion of the Crater Lake high way, necessary if a huge new dam is to be placed at Deben- ger gap, are neanng completion, and additional reconnaissance surveys for all alternate high way routes have been made. The Denver office has begun cost estimates on the dam Itself. Water supply and reservoir operations studies for the Mer lin area in Josephine county have been submitted to Denver. Farmers of County Will Save Interest On Land Bank Loans Farmers and ranchers of Jack son county will save approxi mately $9,500 during the next two years through continued low interest rates on Federal Land bank and land bank com missioner loans, Warren Patter son, Medford, secretary-treasurer of National Farm Loan as sociations serving the county, reported this week. The saving, Patterson ex plained, results from legislation just approved by President Roosevelt which continues until June 30, 1944 the 3'i per cent interest rate on Federal Land bank and land bank commis sioner loans, with slightly higher rates for "direct" and "compart ment" loans. This same legislation also re duces interest rates on land sales contracts and purchase money mortgages held by both the land bank or the Federal Farm Mort gage corporation. In Jackson county the total amount outstanding in Federal Land bank and land bank com missioner loans, contracts and purchase money mortgages is approximately $2,000,000. TAKEN BY DEATH Henry S.
