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,

ARTHUR CLARK
Arthur Clark, former resident
of Medford, passed away at Sa
lem this morning. 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. E. will
facture television 'equi
radar, wire recorders and
electronic devices.

It is so new, so entirely different, that we gave it a new name
AroTasb which signifies the two most important groups
of hydrocarbons in aviation combat fuel, now re-blended for
you. Though these components are made by the equipment built
to power our victorious air forces, AroTase is a premium
automotive gasoline, blended scientifically for finest perform

models not yet in production.
DUAL OCTANE QUALITY. There are two recognized tests
for measuring octane (anti-knock) performance. One alone is
not conclusive of fuel quality. A gasoline must have high octane
quality by both tests to guarantee top road performance under
all conditions, in all cars, at all speeds. AroTases measurement
by both tests reveals a Dual Octane Quality thai does exactly this.
