The speaker declared that city government is a true "grass roots" government since it is close to the people. The people have the right to present com plaint or suggestions and they can appear before the city coun cil and argue any point thoy wish, he said. The council is made up of eight councilmen, two from each of the four wards, and serve without remuneration, Mr. Houghton said. The mayor spends about one-haif of his time on city business with no returns other than a meaRer expense ac count, the speaker said. Explaining city finance, the speaker said "city government is not the culprit when it comes to high taxation," and declared that the cost of city government for Medford as actually levied on the tax roll ia $13.25 per capita per year on an estimated population of 17,000 people. This amounts to about $3.15 per person per month, he added. The city obtains money in four ways, through property taxes, bond issues, special levies nnd through outside revenue, Mr. Houghton explained, an said Medford's budget for the current year is $454,824. Of this sum, $53,000 is expected to be raised from parking"meters. Turning to some of the prob lems for the coming year, the councilman said the city needs an entire new set of street signs, 575. He said a sample, in a type that is easily read, is, located at Main and Central avenues. He also suggested re-naming of some streets where there are duplica tions. Mr. Houghton said the Jack son street bridge needs replace ment, at a cost of about $125,000, and that more arterial streets should be opened, probably Jack son and Twelfth streets. He also mentioned that more traffic con trol devices are needed, that one or more over or under passes on the railroad are needed and that East Main street should be widened. The speaker also mentioned the public library, saying the city must decide whether to remodel or build a new one, and that the fire department must be more adequately supplied or that fire insurance rates will go up. He further said new buildings are needed at the airport, and that facilities for blind landings are needed. Also mentioned were improv ing the channel of Bear creek, the need for a recreational pro gram and study of the acute parking problem. The speaker mentioned that the city of Med ford uses three times as mucn water as any other city of its size in this nation, requiring an ade quate sewage disposal unit. Mr.' Houghton was presented by Mrs. A. C. Cameron, program chairman. Music was provided by the entire Junior high school or chestra, under the direction of Miss Melba Chehak. Glenn Linn, principal, an nounced the first meeting of the newly formed hobby club and urged every Junior high school boy to bring his father to the meeting Thursday.

The round shoulderline in coats, suits and dresses is still soft, but more padded for figure flattery and balance. The cape in fluence in suits and dresses is seen frequently with adroit han dling in capelet shoulderlines. Bracelet length dolman dress sleeves are winning popularity, if there are sleeves at all, as noted in man y sportswear versions. High-styled pockets add distinc tion, and so do buttons, and col lar and cuff detail. Gracefu asymmetrical lines enjoy full play, as do overskirts, panels, and pleated skirts. Bloused and belted backs are seen in modera tion, and ankle length formal gowns are well received with both younger set and matron. Hemlines are going up but stop between twelve and fourteen inches depending on figure, leg and occasion. Necklines are very low by night, very high by day running the gamut from the in triguing illusion-line to modest shawl collars. The costume idea is the focus of fashion attention in both soph isticated and sportclothes. Casual mix 'em-and-match 'em combina tions are becoming even more popular and practical. Dresses with matching jackets and coat dresses are winning acclaim for their purpose and price. Sheer wool redingotes or jackets lined with matching dress prints, and taffeta cocktail coats over prints, are a smash hit. Spring hats promise to be dressy and gay with the small neat look still prettily predomi nate. Veiling and feathers take precedence over flower trim mings. And sportclothes indicate the trend for matching hats in denim, pique and felt.
