comment
For the editorial was

In the second place it oooosed the continuation1 of

tradition, and favored a program of gradual inter
national disarmament
Thirdly the writer was a

QNE usually associates such beliefs with civilians,

How come?
We don't know the answer to that one. We don't
know whether or not the sentiments expressed by
the writer, Private Kahl, are at all representative of
the 96th or the U. S. army.
UOWEVER that may be, the editorial was an ex
tremely interesting one, well-phrased, carefully
reasoned, and does pretty effectively dispose of the
common belief that when the veterans of World War
No. H return they will be UNANIMOUS for turning
this country into an armed camp.

BENGTSON SEEKS
VIEWS ON BILLS;
Copies of three house bills,
Nos. 83, 234 and 232, on which
Representative O. H. Bengtaon
wishes an expression of opinion
from residents of the county, ar
rived in Medford this morning.
Bills 83 and 234 deal with the
handling of dairy stock and milk
or milk products. Bill 83, intro
duced by Rep. Duniway and
known as the "Oregon Raw Milk
Act" provides that the depart
ment of agriculture shall have
Its inspectors give the tubercu
lin and Bangs' disease tests twice
each year to all cows supplying
milk to Oregon residents and
that the Inspectors shall remove
all animals failing to pass the
tests.
Penalty Provided
No. 83 further provides fines
for persons knowingly supplying
milk from cows suffering from
tuberculosis or any other dis
ease and also provides that the
state department of agriculture
inspectors inoculate every milk
bull calf or heifer within eight
months of birth against Bang's
disease and to tag animals so
tested. It would be unlawful,
under the bill to sell milk from
or expose for service any un
tagged animals after July, 1647.
Another provision of bill 83
would prohibit the. sale of un
pasteurized milk unless it is bot
tled on the premises where it
Is produced under certain speci
fied conditions or unless it is
delivered to creameries or factor
ies in bulk where it is to be
made Into cheese or pasteurized
before use. Provision is made
for marking of all milk contain
ers and makes it obligatory for
physicians treating a case of un
dulant fever to obtain from the
patient information on his milk
supply,
H. B. 234, introduced by Rep
resentatives Chindgren, Green
wood, Hesse, Moore, Himel
wrlght and Condit and Sen.
Walsh two weeks after H. B.
83, would require the pasteuri
zation of milk and milk pro
ducts and for the licensing of
pacteurlzation operators but ex
cepts milk and milk, products
from disease-free herds and
further makes It unlawful to re
pasteurize milk or to mark un
pasteurized milk as pasteurized.
A disease-free herd is defined
as any herd of cows or goats
which has been officially tested
for tuberculosis and Bang's di
sease by a veterinarian approved
by the department during the
six-months period prior to the
effective date of the act and
found to be free f t the diseases.
The department of agriculture is
charged with enforcement of the
aet.
Compensation Provided
H. B. 232 provides for a com
pulsory system of compensation
for injuries to or death of em
ployee, including compensation
for occupational diseases, and
for continuance of tho atithnrttv
of the chairman and members
0.1 the Industrial accident com
mission as already set up by Ore
eon law.
Domestic and "casual" em
ployees, volunteer firemen, cer
tain peace officers and salaried
firemen, farm employees and
certain designated others are ex
cepted from the act. The bill
provides that compensation for
disability shall nnt nrsi ton
ppr week or be less than $8 per
weeK, with certain exceptions,
and thatethe employer shall fur
nish medical and surgical treat
ment, nurse and hospital service,
medicine and apparatus for such
period as the nature of the In
jury or the process of recovery
may require.
Copies On File
In case of total disability ad
Judged to be permanent, 66 33
per cent of the average weekly
wages shall be paid to the em
ploye during the continuance of
the disability, according to the
bill, and the same would be paid
in cases of disability total In
character but temporary In
quality. Total compensation pay
able under the act would be
$7,500. the bill states. Various
provisions are made for per
manent partial disability.
The 64-page bill contains
many other provisions for ad
ministration, definition of bene
ficiaries and other terms and
other relevant material.
Copies of the bill are on file
at the library and Chamber of
Commerce in Medford, at the
library In Ashland and with li
brarians, city recorders or post

MAURICE SAMPLE
KILLED IN ACTION
IS WORD TO WIFE
Lt. Maurice J. Sample, 29,
son of Mrs. Muriel C. Sample,
of 308 N. Peach street, reported
missing in action last Septem
ber, has been reported killed In
action, according to his wife,
Mrs. Elizabeth Sample.
Lt. Sample was first pilot on
a B-17 bomber, stationed in Eng
land. His ship and crew were
reported missing after a raid
over Germany last September
22, she said. Later the other
nine members of the bomber
crew were reported prisoners of
war In Germany.
Despite the war department
report of Lt. Sample's death,
his wife said she believes it may
be erroneous, basing her belief
on a short wave broadcast from
a German prison camp which
was heard by three persons in
this country who relayed the
information to Mrs. Sample.
Her husband's co-pilot spoke on
the broadcast and stated all of
the crew had landed safely.
Mrs. Sample, the former
Elizabeth Bittle of Medford, and
their small daughter, Betty, are
living at present wtth Lt. Sam
ple's "mother, Mrs. Muriel Sam
ple, in Medford.
A brother of Lt. Sample. Sjtt.
Earl Sample, is in France, also
with the air corps, while Mrs.
Sample has two brothers, Cpl.
John Bittle, now in Italy, and
Pfc. Bill Bittle, a gunnery in
structor stationed in Denver,
Colo., in the service.
Lt. Sample holds the Purple
Heart award, which was sent to
his wife recently, and had been
overseas since July, 1944,
FIREMEN CALLED
ON FALSE ALARM
A general alarm turned In to
the local fire department at mid
night last night was labeled a
false alarm today by Fire Chief
Roy Elliott. The alarm which
roused the sleeping populace
was turned in for the Victory
Cafe, 42 South Central.
Upon investigation of the call,
the fire department found no
evidence of fire or disturbance
at that address, they said today.
Elliott declared there is a se,
vero penalty under the local fira
ordnance for turning in a false
fire alarm and that the depart
ment is searching today for the
guilty parties.
