' 4 5v. IN POLiyENEFIT Cavemen Tighten Defense for Third Go at League Leading Tornado Quintet With two victories over Grants Pass already under their belts, Medford's basketball squad again will clash with the Cavemen at 8 p. m. tomorrow on the local court in a benefit game for the Infantile paralysis fund. . Although 50 per cent of the net proceeds from the game will go to the polio fund, the contest is part of the regular schedule and will count in the Southern Oregon conference standings. Seek Thirteenth Win The undefeated Black Torna does go into tomorrow night's game with a record of six con ference and six non-conference wins and no losses and by the book should have little trouble with the third place Cavemen, As pointed out by Coach Al Simpson today however, Grants Pass took two straight from Klamath Falls 1 over the week end. Members of the Medford squad who attended the encoun ter Saturday night reported the Grants Pass zone defense was clicking much better than ear lier m the season and might give the Tornadoes some trouble to morrow night. Ross Will Start Jerry Ross, Medford forward. who was able to play only part of the Ashland - game Friday night because of an Infected foot, was reported recovered to- day and Coach Simpson said he thought Ross would be able to go the full game tomorrow night Preliminary contest between They're an All-American Wonder Team Evan on the West Coast where so many people help build ships and man them it s no easy task to picture ocean shipping these days. It's like trying to keep, up with the astronomers and their million billion distances. What can give anything so big its sense and direction? Well, just think of a man with a wheelbarrow. Before the war, Pacific Coast ship operators were men with amphibian "wheelbarrows." Somebody would say "Deliver this flour or "Move those bricks." Then they had a job. Often they had to trundle their "wheelbarrows" home empty. Then came . the war. Ship ping expansion was terrific. New ships poured from the ways in hundreds. But they didn't start to pay off until they began hauling the stuff. That's where the ship operators came in. They had the stamina and the managerial know-how re- 3uired when Uncle Sam sud enly needed everything deliv ered everywhere. What a job they've done! Yet, today, that job is bigger , than ever. We're at Japan's door. But that's so far away it takes, roughly, three ships to "git thar" with the goods that one ship could deliver to ear lier, nearer battlefields. Japan's hope is that it can't be done. Ship operators know they have the answer Can do! in team work. Already this teamwork has done wonders. To achieve it, ship operators have submerged their identity and passed up die chance to receive personal cred it. No longer can you tell which man, which company or which "wheelbarrow. But, whoever or wherever, the American peo ple realize no team ever made better record. wnrM to ear tiimmi lUfWy lyv " " ' ' ' 1 " I8MIS3D Ding-Dong Daddy Arrested in Los ( - y tit L - , t J r f It ll ; (Acme Telephoto) Mrs. Joseph Bergman Van Wle (right), one of six known wives of Pre" 3a Van Wle, 58, San Francisco's "Oar barn Casanova," unhappily looks at picture ot herself and Van Wle taken on their wedding day last Easter.

"Crso r inr Enter Crater Park ostwar Vacation Advice in C. S. Monitor Article XEd Note: The following ar ticle on Crater Lake Park which appeared recently in the Chris tian Science Monitor, was writ ten by Miss Jeunesse Butler of Medford, under the pen name M. LeTour.") Here is a scenic spot to Jot down in that postwar vacation notebook: Oregon's Crater Lake National Park, situated in the southern part of the state. As a matter of fact, those in the Pacific Northwest who are within legitimate traveling dis tance from this park will be in terested to learn that it will be opened -this year for the first time since the start of the war. Officials say plans now call for the official opening about the end of June the park to remain open for three months. In prewar days not only was Crater Lake park a haven for summer visitors, but during the winter months it afforded ex cellent snow facilities for ski enthusiasts. However, the park will not remain open during the winter - months until after the war. Chief attraction for the sum mer visitor to the park is Crater lake, on the very crest of the Cascade mountain range, in the heart of Mt. Mazama, an extinct volcano. Destroyed many years ago, when the top apparently was blown off, a vast crater was left which gradually accumu lated water. - The lake is six miles wide, 2,000 feet deep, cov ers an area of 20 square miles, has a shoe line of 26 miles, and cutis that rise from S00 to 2,000 feet above its surface. Lake Delights Visitors It matters not the number of times one gazes into the depths of this moody blue water, there Is always fresh interest and de light in revisiting Crater lake. visitors to the lake are inter ested in the Sinnott Memorial, where daily lectures are given and exhibits and relief maps help them to understand and ap preciate the scenic and natural scientific values. In the writer's opinion, no one really has seen Crater lake until the rim drive has been taken. High point of interest Is. of course, the ancient volcano's cra ter known as Wizard Island, a cinder cone rising 776 feet above the lake's surface. It may be reached by boat. The crater it self is 95 feet deep and 460 feet in diameter. Phantom Ship (it seems to disappear with certain climatic conditions) is a little island resembling a ship under sail. For perhaps the most inspir ing view of the lake and sur rounding region, the visitor may ascend Garfield Peak, 8,060 feet, reached by trail about one mile east of Crater Lake Lodge, The Pinnacles, slender pumice stone columns, some of them 200 feet in height, are located in Wheeler creek near the east entrance of the park. Operated on Wartime Basis During the past three years, the park has been operated on a wartime basis, with a very lim Ited staff for providing mainte nance and giving protection from fire. Despite this shortage of help, however, there has been a large number of visitors, states Superintendent Ernest P. Lea- vltt. These visitors all came by Big Fir Slabs and Rough Blox Green 12 or 16-inch Select Quality Big Double Loads Order Early MEDFORD FUEL CO. Tel. 3111 Angetes Visit in Your Notebook is automobile and included many of the armed forces. With no public service during the war, officials at the lake say there have been no complaints from visitors. Limited accom modations were and will be syll able at adjacent points, such as Union. Creek, Fort Klamath, and Diamond Lake. ' Some visitors prefer remaining at the large points such as Medford or Klam ath Falls. Many visiting the park last season were engaged in war work, traveling from one point to another, making the de tour in order to include the lake. The public camp grounds con stitute the present accommoda tion, but after the duration the lodge again will be open, also the cafeteria and several types of cabins. Accommodations vary as to kind and price. Postwar plans also include the resump tion of other accommodations, such as bus and boat service, lodging, meals, and so forth. Of historic, scenic, natural scientific, and geologic interest, Crater Lake National Park may well be included in future trav el plans.. Serving the park, the Southern Pacific's railheads are at Klamath Falls and Grants Pass, Ore. Auto stages make connections daily at both cities, from July 1 to Sept. 19. For automobiles, the west and south entrance roads are maintained all year as far as the rim of the lake, the north and east en trances being closed to traffic during the winter. At Medford, Ore., the park's gateway to the west, is the airport of. United Airlines. Local Store Owner Returns From Two Week Buying Trip Mrs. E. T. Burelson, owner of Burelson's ladies' ready-to-wear store, returned Saturday eve ning from a two week buying trip to California.

HELD FOR HOUR FOR F.D.R'S Los Angeles, Jan. 29 (U.R) If the streamliner City of Los Angeles doesn t arrive here on time loday, it won't be the fault of Col. James Roosevelt because the hour and seven minutes lost waiting for the president's eldest son to arrive in Chicago Satur day night were made up by the time the train reached Cheyenne, Wyo., railroad officials said. Col. Roosevelt and his wife, who were returning to the west coast from the inauguration, were traveling on a Pennsyl vania train which was more than six hours late, Someone wired ahead to Union Pacific officials who or dered the train with its 300 pas sengers held so the Roosevelt party could make connections. However, no one seemed to know who ordered the stream liner's delay. Chicago and North western officials, who handle the train out of Chicago, said depot officials ordered it held but they didn't know who gave the order. Roosevelt denied he had asked that the train be held and Penn sylvania officials said the con ductor of their train, had made no such request. More Experiments Needed On DDT For Service To Public New York (U.R) Although uui; tne most potent insecti cide ever discovered, is living up to military expectations, much testing remains to be done Before it can be released for public use, J. A. Jenemann, sales department manager of the Du Pont Co.'s Grasselli Chemicals department, told the National Assn. of Insecticide and Dixin- fectant Manufacturers recently "We do not .know enough to answer these four essential questions for the postwar buyer How shall it be modified to be suitable for the householder? What is it good for? How is it usea7 What precautions, if any are required?" Jenemann said. He reminded the manufactur ers that DDT Is made up for the armed forces in six different compounds and never used in its pure state. DDT compounded with other materials Into dusts, solutions, suspensions, emul sions,, aerosol mists, and pastes are possible forms lor consumer use which must be thoroughly investigated, he said. , Daily Weather Report m, , .

New Pipe Smokers Club Organized To Halt Pipe Cruelty Chicago (U.R) Cigarette smok ers who feel abused because they no longer can purchase all the tailor-made smokes they want may puff complacently throughout the current short age If they join the anti-pipe abusing society founded by Ira Kersh, Chicago amateur "pipe- stretcher."
