EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL-TRIBUNE Monday. Oct. 1. 1945 MEM FRUITS !LAI Oregon fruit, and Medford's peaches in particular, are recog nized ai tops In far North Caro lina, according to recently pub lished comment In newspapers there, and forwarded to Gordon R. Green, division manager of the American Fruit Growers, Inc., here. The flattering tribute, written by W. T. Bost, staff representa tive of the Greensboro News Co , which publishes the Greensboro Daily News and Record, large daily newspapers, follows: "Speaking of fruits, which no body was, when many of us North Carolinians had sons en camped in Oregon, occasionally those boys would write back to tell us that they had been help ing to harvest those crops, and not a few of us would later re ceive prettily packed boxes of selected peaches, pears, apricots, apples, grapes and walnuts as big as a fist. "And with their coming went a myth. The late General Albert J. Howlcy, commandant at Fort Bragg many years, always at tended the North Carolina peach shows at Hamlet and he had to listen to overmuch bragging on the bcauly and the excellence of the Sandhills poach. 'The best in the world' went a sort of sol emn litany which made General Bowley laugh. Ilo did his des perate North Carolina best, but lie had to smile at our superla tives. 'Did any of you ever sec an Oregon or a California peach on the tree?' he would nsk in the earnest hope of getting his two states in the competition. Of course none of us had seen this great sight. "But modern transportation has brought the western fruit to our side of the continent, and many a Tar Heel has his name on a preferred list by which sea aonally he receives those west coast fruits. Our youngsters be fore going across the two oceans would run up to Mcdford and toll three days for the Blue Goose orchards in Medford. They gave a romantic flavor to the products which this year come to the east coast to mock our frost-bitten. bug-polluted peaches which have Just run out. At our best this Blue Goose orchard would have made our best uncomfortable, but its best against our very bad this year is something tremen dous. No nursery going the limit in pictorial art ever gave an ade quate effigy of one of those Ore gon peaches now making their Tar Heel visit as horticulture on this side of the continent goes into hiding. The receivers do not get the illusion of opening peach, probably picked by some soldier from this state, but there is the peach itself. And how it can be grown to such robust beauty always will mystify us who have loved the delusion that in North Carolina we can grow anything from two pecks of pota toes in the hill to a president of the United Stales. "What probably has happened can be brought to our own or chards. Those Oregonians Insti tuted brains in the fruit culture and got the jump on us, Daily Weather Report FORECAST Mcdford and vicinity: Cler tonight and Tuesday.

Remains will be transferred to Medford, and funeral services will be announc ed later by Perl Funeral Home. Hollywood, Oct. 1 (U.PJ The Crosby Research Foundation claimed today to have a defense against the atomic bomb. Larry Crosby, brother of Film Star Bing Crosby and head of the foundation which helped with the early work on the bomb, said that the defense was so simple that the bombs could be exploded away without their exact location having been determined. 'The bombs can be blown up at will, along with their experi menters," Crosby said. Crosby refused to discuss even the basic principle of the bomb defense. He said the sec ret would be turned over to the proper authorities on condition that it be used solely to "compel others nations to play fair with the United States." Crosby Foundation scientists engaged in war work foe the last three years first obtained the basic ingredient of the atom bomb and detonated ,it in the California desert. "A scientist has convinced a defense for the atom bomb and a defense for the ato mbomb and that these bombs can actually be detonated without even know ing their exact location. This information should set worried minds at ease, but more import ant still, it should convince other nations it would be futile to waste time, energy and billions to find the atom bomb's secrets." New York Oct. 1 4U.R) The United States' defense against the atomic bomb is the fact that she alone has wealth enough and sufficient resources to man ufacture it. Dr. Walter R. G. Baker, vice president of the General Electric Company, said today. Dr. Baker is in charge of the 10,O00.000 Electronics Pi ng built north of Sy N. Y., where G.
