Monday. July 9, 1945 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE THREE rpl mJlk LuLirOL in I VISIBLE No signs of the total eclipse of the sun which occurred shortly after 5 a.m. today were visible in Medford, but passengers and rrew members on United Air lines flights between Medford and Portland were able to see the sight quite plainly. Local weather bureau officials stated today that only a shadow cast over the sun could be visible this far southwest, but overhang ing smoke apparently hid even that. Max Henney, local station manager for United Airlines, said today that the eclipse was visible to passengers and crew members cruising at 11,000 feet at 5:30 a.m., when the sun came Sesnisffhang to Caesqe llme to If you could grant wishes like Cinderella's fairy godmother so someone recently said here are requests you'd get from the armed forces. No. 1: "Please, I'd like to go fishing." No. 2: "Please let me go hunting." No. 3: "Be real swell and fix it up for me to spend three months in the mountains." That's easy to believe. Few things are so different as life in a fox-hole and life along a trout stream. It's a world of oo enemies when you're out among the shreds of dawn, with molten ice tugging your ankles and a ten-inch rainbow at the end of your line. One reason good hunting and fishing indeed, a whole good outdoors awaits every re turning western warrior can be found in the many rod and gun clubs. For men who love air swept clean by trcetops and laundered in glacier water, these clubs have been guardians of the future. : They've fulfilled a volunteer stewardship with constant ef forts to improve every stamping-ground of the sportsman. Their interest has helped break new trails everywhere into the outdoors and to widen old ones. Progressive fish and game commissions have found them aiding every advanced program. Whether man or woman, every westerner has something of the woodsman's heritage. Whether it's skiing or shooting or just loafing under the clear stars, every westerner loves some form of outdoor life. Foi everyone of them, the rod and gun clubs have guarded thi land where mornings are bore and the heart sings.

A Mew ion se of Magic" ar America "...one of the strongest guarantees of progress and world peace is continuous scientific preparedness through industrial research' jzp. "General Electric has approved plans for a new $8,000,000 Research Laboratory. This ex penditure has tremendous significance. Scientific research has contributed much to our progress as a nation. "Many things have been discovered during this war, and we can and must develop them into better things for peacetime. "Today we have 650 research people on our staff. These new facilities will not only give increased outlet for their abilities, but will provide opportunities for new research minds with new talents. "From this new laboratory we think new achievements will come. In the past, G-E research has contributed much to better living in America not only through new developments in x-ray, electricity, metallurgy, electronics and chemistry, but also through reduced cost and increased efficiency, as in the modern incandescent lamp. "Even more than in the past the la boratory will emphasize research in pure science continuing and expanding the work begun by Dr. Whitney and the late Dr. Steinmetz forty-five years ago. "To find new facts of the physical world, to extend the limits of knowledge, is a forward step in creating More Goods for More People at Less Cost." President I GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY LJfif,.

But It Means More Sleeping Cars for Veterans Operation of overnight sleeping cart between Southern Oregon and Portland will be discontinued Sunday, July 15th, by order of the United States Office of Defense Transportation. The new regulations eliminate all Pullman sleeping cars operating for a distance of 450 miles or loss. The reason for this Order is that additional sleeping cars MUST ba obtained to provide accommodations for the returning veterans from Europe, who are reaching Atlantic ports in large numbers. These veterans are coming home for discharge, or for furlough, before going on to fight again in the Pacific. They deserve the most comfortable transportation service we can give them. No new sleeping cars have been built since Pearl Harbor. ' Over one-half of the sleeping cars have been in exclusive use by the Military, but they are not enough for this new task. The O.D.T. Order resulted. While discontinuance of short-distance sleeping car operations will cause Inconvenience to many people, we feci sure that the citizens of Southern Oregon wilt approve this effort to better serve the men from overseas to whom we owe so much. We KNOW the families of these Southern Oregon boys who are coming home, will have no question as to the merit of this new regulation. As far as the Southern Pacific is concerned, our guiding principle has been "The Military Comes First!" and we are cooperating 100 in carrying out the provisions of the above O.D.T. Order. With nearly 20,000 Southern Pacific men and women in the armed forces, we, too, have a real and personal interest In the welfare and comfort of service men and womn. So you may know how this order applies to Southern Pacific service gener ally, we show below Southern Pacific sleeping car service on our lines which will be discontinued after the last trip July 14th. Coach service will still be available between these points.
