TROUT PLENTY COSTLY Quakertown, Pa. (U.R) An an gler was charged black market prices for a mess of fish he can't even eat. A justice of the peace decided the 13 fresh-caught trout in Frank Polinsky's creel were worth about $10 apiece, since Polinsky had jumped the gun in taking them. The season hadn't opened.

' In Portland, the Multnomah county registrar's office expect ed about 250,000 persons to be registered when books are com piled later this month. The num ber would be some 15,000 more than the 1948 registration rec ord. In Grants Pass, County Clerk Ben Coutant estimated that 15, 100 persons had registered in Josephine county, about 2,000 more than were registered for the 1948 public election. In Astoria, republicans hold an edge of 297 over democrats in Clatsop county registration figures. The total registration was 14,347, with 7,367 republi cans and 7,070 democrats. At the 1948 general election, republi cans held a lead of 457. And in eastern Oregon, Baker county registration reached 8450 to top 1948 s total of 8063 by 387. Democratic registrations lead the GOP in Multnomah county, while party registration was about equal in Josephine county. Baker county democrats had nearly an 1800 majority over the republicans. In 1950 the U. S. post office de partment will lose S500 million on its operations. That was the cost of the entire federal gov ernment in McKinley's time. NEW HOME? PHONE 2-5271 Pickin' Pears By L. J. "Tick" Malarkoy Eda Zolezzo was good for the eyes when she was a member of the American Legion auxiliary "top brass" that visited Camp White this week. For better than 10 years she has been the big wheel in charge of the unit's activities "up on the hill' in Portland. Took the job after husband Mike answered the last roll call 10 years ago and has been on the job and jump ever since. Legionette Zolezzo, with a hint of frost in her hair and dark eyes that spark good humor, is untiring in her work for the comfort of disabled and sick veterans. Hardly seems like five years have gone since a Jap sniper's slug laid low Ernie Pyle on the island of Ie Shima. Ed Hudson, proprietor of White City cafe, was showing some pictures that he had taken when stationed with the Seventh infantry in the South Pacific. His first snap was taken of Ernie's grave so soon after his burial that his. helmet still marked the place where .he fell. April 18, 1945, was the date. The finest writer of war fea tures is the rating that he holds among American public today. Top soil is being spread and lawns planted out here, as well as shrubs and flowers, in an effort to beautify the grounds. Some trees are beginning to do all right. "It's when I wake up in the morning that I feel old," says Ty Teorey who "head-mans the arts, crafts and hobby shop here. New to his job, your reporter was feeling his way around and it was hard to believe that friend Teorey is a "Greybeard." He admits to 55 years, but the top of his head is not thinning much and surely no grey is visible. "I fought the battle of the medical corps," Ty said. He was raised in the Dakotas and an accident kept him stateside when his outfit shoved off. The war was over before he could return to duty. Ty is proud of his department and the men who are at work in it. This morning the "mayor of Camp White called. He is Leo Lamb, a Bamboo since we had it" with Spain. "When President McKinley called for 125,000 volunteers, I up and enlisted. Never been sorry since," he said. "Come out and watch me fly my kite," Leo said. "Fellow here rustled me 3,000 feet of string and if there is wind enough this morning I'm going to have some fun." A little later "the mayor" was on his way. His years are 76 and the way he gets around it is hard to believe the time that rests so lightly on his shoulders. Signs of early summer: sun bathers on the warm sides of the barracks. Dozens of 'em have been noted these past warm afternoons. Will admit that the sun setting behind Table Rock is rivaled only by the beauties that unfold from North Head and the Pacific when Old Sol is tiring and say ing good night down Astoria way. Have been thrilled with the colors painted here the past evenings. Yep, Medford is going to be all right. Not so homesick now. Hans Sorenson, the durable Dane. The lad is in my ward and today I found him at his hobby an amateur would call it stone cutting. From the rocks he works with come rings, orna ments for the lady's neck, paper weights, flower pots and other ornamental and beautiful gadgets. Sorenson hails from Montana. His army career makes him a MUSKRAT NO MYSTERY Davenport, la. (U.R) Police captured a "strange animal" which had been reported "ex citing dogs in the neighbor hood," then turned to the hu mane officer, Henry Reimers, to solve the mystery of what they had caught. "That's no mystery," Reimers said, "it is just a musk rat. The mystery is how it got so far from the river." News, Gossip, Comment From Camp While world traveled citizen. One of the Purple Heart men of Argu ment One he takes a delight and pride in his hobby. A prize win ner at all exhibits. Thalia Doty. Nice to know the lady who is secretary in the office of John L. Kelly, chief special services. John is among the missing this week, vacation ing on annual leave. So Miss Doty helped me and graciously, too. It is observed that all of the employed personnel have smiles and are more than generous with their time in making a recruit at ease. Thelma Doty i s n o exception. Three More Blows To Medic Career Fall on Sander Manchester, N. H Apr. 21 (U.R) Dr. Hermann N. Sander retreated to the role of "gentle man farmer" today after three more blows to his medical career in the wake of his acquittal as a "mercy slayer" virtually shat tered his prestige as a physician. Because his license was re voked by the New Hampshire board of registration in medicine, the 41-year-old Candia physician was dropped from the staffs of of the Hillsborough County General hospital at Goffstown and the Elliott hospital here last night. Membership Suspended At the same time. Dr. Mac F. Cahal, general counsel and exe cutive secretary of the American Academy of General Practice, announced at Kansas City, Mo., that Sander's membership would have to be suspended because he had lost his license. All three organizations said Sander would not automatically be reinstated if his license were returned at the end of the two month period when that state board said he could apply for a license reinstatement hearing. Sander would have to re-apply for membership. Plows Ground Thus stripped of his physi cian's privileges, Sander changed his white coat for overalls and plowed a plot of ground near his Candia home preparatory to spring planting. His suspension from the hos pital at Goffstown was an nounced by Dr. Harold I. L. Loverud, president of the hos pital board. It was at this same hospital where Sander's actions in the death last December 4 of Mrs. Abbie C. Borroto, 59, an incurable cancer patient, pre cipitated his trial. Jacksonville Lions Plan Boy Scout Aid Jacksonville, Apr. 22 A pie social will be sponsored by the Jacksonville Lions club Thurs day, April 27, In the U. S. hotel to benefit the local Boy scouts' .fund for sending Jacksonville scouts to the national scout jamboree. Bidding on pies will be limited and coffee will be furnished by the Lions club Contributions of pies are solicited for the money raising event.

At a meeting of the group Thursday night in the Presby terian church, numerous visitors were present including repre sentatives from the Medford and Crater Lions club in Medford. Robert Church of the Medford office of the United States weath er bureau spoke to the group regarding a suggested project. Lew Graves, republican candi date for county commissioner, was an after-dinner speaker. H ,rsALL " faf J NEVER BEEN V l01Wt- J SHOWN BEFORE iff s Posse Schedules Rodeo At Fairgrounds The Jackson County Sheriff's posse will present its annual rodeo at the fairgrounds June 10 and 11, it was announced today. Rogue Valley Baseball, Inc., sponsors of the Medford Rogues in the Far West league, is cooper ating with the posse by permit ting use of the baseball diamond for the rodeo. The posse has pledged precaution to prevent injury to the baseball turf, it was stated. The infield will be covered by sawdust to prevent cutting by horses hooves and the outfield will be roped off to prevent animals from straying out there. An entrance way will also be provided to permit the posse to bring its equipment on to the field, according to Mel Carpenter, business manager of the baseball club. About a month ago, the base ball club's park committee and posse representatives got to gether to thrash out joint use of the facilities this summer The posse is building its own grounds on Ross lane but the new facilities will not be ready for the 1950 show. Carpenter pointed out that the club had gone to considerable expense to turf the baseball diamond under pressure from Far West league officials. Until this yea- Medford had the only unturfed diamond in the league and other teams brought pres sure to the league office to have the local diamond sown to grass. ' Carpenter and Dick Kay, rep resenting the posse, pointed out that their respective organiza tions were anxious to cooperate with the other and that joint use of the fairgrounds facilities was the" result. Dry Lake Has Habit Of Leaving Its Bed Ozcll. Ga. (U.R) You never know whether to carry your fish ing pole or walking boots to Dry lake, near here. The big body of water just disappears every now and then. Nearby residents say the lake runs out through a tiny suck hole in its bottom once about every seven years. Once, when the water started running low, the owners sold 100 permits for $1 each, allowing each purchaser to'catch all the fish he could carry away. But the mob began spearing each other with pitchforks and otherwise committing unintcn- Open 6:30, Show At Duik lAUrYATS LEAVER ITHEM LAUGHIMSl jm.ti IILJ.im n s I a Western Gun-Law Da y ttHl Walt I Sunday.

Palm Springs, Cal., was ahead a few weeks back with an all day circus carnival that lured even Jack Benny down for the week-end. City fathers also point out that Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra, Bill Powell, etc., think enough of the place to build fancy winter homes down there. Now Las Vegas, Nev., is climb ing on top with a week-long cel ebration for the opening of its new $3,500,000 Desert Inn.

Garland Peyton, Georgia di rector of mines, mining and geology, explained the dryings up by pointing out that the limestone underlying the section is cut up with veins, crevasses and channels.

He aims to open the desert inn in style, even if he has to shell out $100,000, which he expects he will. "But I'll show everybody Las Vegas i3 the most fabulous place in the world," Clark says. "Sure, we're taking a bite of Palm Springs' business. Palm Springs? That's zero in my book. I feel sorry for all the stars who're stuck with houses there." A Hollywoodite who does have a home there said he didn't notice any of his neighbors feel ing stuck. . Some Like To Gamble "But some of them do like to gamble," he admitted. "And we don't have any of that here." Clark said he'll give the celeb rities plenty of that. He's also talked Edgar Bergen into com ing up to crack jokes for the floor show. He admits this blow-out Is costing him plenty. "But we're inviting everybody to use - the roulette tables,'' he said.
