Citizens are being urged to take in the visitor If at all pos sible, because there Just won't be room for everybody In the public hostelries. Of course a lot of the Camp White boys will .have furloughs and go home for Christmas, but far more won t end their relatives will come here to see them. Incidently, Camp White is filling up rapidly. Every night the streets of Medford ara jam med with soldiers. Its a military secret as to just how many troops are at the camp now, but suffice It to say thera ara thous ands.

The road has been clos ed for tha winter, equipment used in tha park has been turn ed over to the army and most of the personnel necessary to keep tha park open In the win ter has Joined the armed forces. Speaking of Crater Lake re minds us that the new Crater Lake highway, starting near the Big-Y market on the north Pacific highway, has been open ed to traffic. It is 9 miles long and stretches to Antelope Creek in the Camp White area, where It Joins tha old Crater Lake high way. It is a little shorter than the old road, and much better In all respects. We had a mock attack drill here the other night. All the air raid wardens, auxiliary police and other persons connected with the civilian defense effort swung quickly Into action, and the drill was declared to have been a complete success. After Sheriff Syd I. Brown warned that his office and the state police would rigidly en force the new 35-mile per hour speed limit, thera was a notable decline In the number of cars seen traveling over that rate. That Medford' population has increased over that of last year can be seen In tha attendance figures released by the city school superintendent's office. Thera are now 3,508 students attending the, sixth public schools, compared to 3,200 for the same period in 1941.
