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

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."

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.
