TWO MEDrOHD MAIL TRIBUNE
Monday, Sept. 10. 1945
Medford and Mail Tribune Disliked
By Former Riverside (Cal.) Resident
Tribune mail recently brought
to light the painful fact that not
everyone likes Medford. But
then, the same letter disclosed
that not everyone likes River
aide, Calif., either.
Worse than that, the Tribune
lias been accused of not printing
nil the news, so to refute that
frightful impeachment, here's the
tory:
In the editor's mail was a clip
ping from a Riverside, Calif.,
daily paper of a letter from Mrs.
Alvin L. Mardock, 846 Taylor
street, Medford. Mrs. Murdock
write to the Press and Enter
prise to say: "We have lived in
Medford, Ore., since June 30,
3945, after selling our home in
Riverside. We were informed it
was cheaper to live here, but
It's not so. Wages are cheap and
cost of living high.
"After living in Riverside 19
years, there is no place like it.
"We were constant subscribers
of the Daily Tress and we cer
tainly have missed it, as there
Is no paper here to compare with
It. The Daily Press is a paper
that gives the complete news and
we have no such paper here.
"As soon as we sell here we
re coming back."
Our spirits were raised con
siderably by the writer of the
letter, a Mr. McGaly, who made
certain uncomplimentary re
marks about the Riverside -climate,
and also declared empha
tically "I don't find anyone here
giving anything away." lie ad
ded that If the lady wanted to
come back to Riverside he had
a six-room house at 28(17 Cridgc
Hired which he would gladly
trade her for Medford property.

Where The Fish Go
To the editor In re Izaak
Walton league, Rogue river fish
ing, Oregon Game commission,
etc.
We, who have fished Rogue
river fairly, for years know that
the darned thing is ruined for
sport fishing any way, and I
for one, hope that there will be
a scries of dams that will fix it
so that a few game hogs and
licensed guides cannot clean the
river of steel heads as they have
been doing the last few years.
You mcy remember that sev
eral years ago the undersigned
put on a one-man crusade to re
move the fish killing electrodes
at Gold Ray dam, which was ac
complished after several checks
were made. I also gathered a
few affidavits at the time. At
this time right now, and I sup
pose that far Into the future the
river will run through the power
house, and the poor fish will
still be trying to swim through
the turbines, as they have ever
since they turned the river
through them.
Eliminate the unnecessary
stopping or killing of fish at
Gold Ray by proper screening
and give them a chance to go on
up.
Stop all boat fishing, that Is
stop drifting, fish fairly, bait
your hook. Wade, swim or fish
from the bank.
Please, fishermen, let' stop
the guides . from cleaning the
river ot stcelhoad.
CHARLES E. ROSE,
Rt. 4, Dox 148, Medford.
P.S. The point I'm trying to
get over is that if we had a
number nf dams on the river we
could at least fish for bull heads,
perch or suckers, and not let s
few licensed guides bait the
hooks and keep on fishing after
a legal limit has been taken.

To Drive Own Cars
Austin, Tex. (U.PJ Few if any,
Texas servicemen who have lost
legs or arms, will be denied
drivers' licenses, Homer Garri
son, director of the Department
of Public Safety, has announced.
The department, in co-operation
with the Army, has been
conducting extensive tests at
McCloskey General Hospital for;
several months. Improvements
in mechanical arms and legs ;
and in driving-aid devises attach- j
ed to cars, make it possible for!
men who have lost as much as j
two legs and an arm to drive as I
safely as other people, Garrison
said.
Garrison pointed out that
Texas laws are flexible enough
to allow the licensing of handi
capped persons. "We are fortu
nate in that respect," he added.
"Our Legislature left it to the
discretion of the Safety Depart
ment to determine when a per
son is not competent to drive,"
and few if any GIs returning to
I Texas will be denied a driver's ; now an Item of the "C" eombat

eral approval tnat tney nave
