SIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday. Julr II. 1845 RELIEF FOR SHORTAGE OF Some relief for the current housing shortage In Medford was promised yesterday by George Coplan, Seattle, regional director of the national housing authority, who met here with James Maxwell of the Portland office, the Jackson county hous ing authority and representatives of various financial interests, the Chamber of Commerce and local lumber yards. The group discussed the housing need in this area, and Coplan advised them that some relief will be given soon. The northwest district has been allotted a certain number of housing units, Coplan said, but it is recognized that the number is not sufficient to meet all needs, and covers mainly es sential Industrial workers, ine housing authority favors rental units rather than owner-occupied units, it was pointed out, and most building approved in this area will probably be for rental purposes. Mark Goldy, executive direc tor for the housing authority here, said today that the public housing facilities are practically filled at present. Rental basis on new housing units approved and built in Med ford will be established by the national housing authority rath er than the OP A, it was said. CITY HAS VISION "Without vision Individuals or cities cannot succeed," Mayor C. A. Meeker told Rotary club members in addressing the club's Tuesday meeting at the Medford hotel. Medford citizens, the mayor said, showed vision recently by voting favorably the bond issue that should make our city one of the nicest and most beautiful cities In this part of the country. 'Every city has personality the same as people," the mayor con tinued, "and the personality shows when the city Is entered." "People make the city by their attitude toward it," he said. The mayor said a portion of the improvement bond money would be made available as soon as possible so that preliminary work may be started on the more necessary projects. appreciative of any extras, can't bear to let them down. "The other day our freezer container got a small leak and some of the brine got into the ice cream. I served it, not know ing it was salty. Of course th boys couldn't eat It all but one, who just ate away, saying all he asked was that it be cold and look like Ice cream. I had the hole fixed and made five gal lons today. I have a hard timi getting ice and salt and some times the cream isn't frozen any too well. "Yesterday I made 20 cherry Dies. Cherry pie is my specially, thouch I like to make any kind of pie. I traded the driver of the ration truck pie for an extra case of sour cherries and now have enough cherries to make nies two more times. Also traded two bottles of beer for some extra lard. I'm capable of all sorts of schemes if those schemes lead to more pies for the boys. "The cook situation promises to get worse and worse as I am to lose four more cooks soon. They are leaving the army and alreadv are Insisting we call them MISTER Parker and MIS ter Nichols. Needless to say we hov some other names for them! "I gave away two of the klt tn: one to the fellows I cook with In "D" battery and the oth er to the man who drives the garbage truck. His little girl was always crying because one of th neighbors had a kitten ana h rildn't. She sot so she wouldn't even go to their house I hope the kitten will straighten things out. i Kepi tne reu ui, T .1 one reason Deing, i can i close enough to it to catch it; think it is scared of being trans ferred. The old mother is run ning around half crazy looking for her two missing cniiaren. She is a fine mother and tried to nurse the kittens even after they were almost as large as she and she was as dry as a bone." Soon I will give you the rest of his letter, telling about Gheko, the pet lizzard; and the miracles the doctors are working out there in the South Pacific.

Olive '.&4' Barber's Letter "N"' Mall bag: Private Buck writes, "I've Just re-read for about the 10th time the letters received during the past few months. So many of them are datcltned from Hillside. At present, I am work ing very hard; long hours, too. Not only am I doing my regular work as baker but also the work of the mess sergeant, as ha left a month ago and out here, re placements take a long time.

Pittsburgh, U.R In the post war future, people who live in glass houses might be any of us. For the dream home of the future will be a practical, eco nomical structure made com pletely of glass, according' to Dr. Alexander Silverman, head of the chemistry department of the University of Pittsburgh. A glass roof, glass plumbing, glass walls, floors and furnish ings will adorn the Ideal home, Dr. Silvermarf predicts. Even the mattresses will be made of glass, and the glass bulbs that furnish illumination will ster ilize the atmosphere. No Fire Insurance ' No fire insurance or endless coats of paint will be needed for the glass home, and the whole structure. Inside and out, will be washable But those glass walls won't be an invitation for PPeeping Toms. The wall will be made of hollow glass tile or of foam glass with a plate glass veneer. The foam glass cannot br seen through, and rodents arid vermin cannot burrow through It. Polaroid Window The windows will provide all sorts of possibilities, says Dr. Silverman. For Instance, two sheets of polaroid could be shifted in such a way that the crystals would lie in the same direction to let light through.
