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."

Grants Pass, July 8. (Spl.)
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

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.

cost estimates on the dam Itself.

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.
