St Louis Atlanta V NEWSPAMt PUBUSHElS ASSOCIATION RATIONAL EDITORIAL IasvocUtoIn J V Fire Districts Needed The recent destruction by fire of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Brown's fine home on the Old Stage road points again to the crying need for protection through the formation of rural fire districts in Jackson county. e e e e e ALTHOUGH two such districts are presently In course of formation, one for the Central Point region and another at Rogue River, others should be organized, especially where there is a growing concentration of dwellings, and all should be hurried along as rapidly as possible for warm weather and increased fire hazard will soon be upon us. e e e e e FORMATION of a fire district is not a highly in- volved procedure. Although the main difficulty lies in securing sufficient funds to buy the necessary equipment this need not be too great an item if purchases are confined to a light pumper and a tank car, together with such hose, ladders and protective clothing as are required. The cost of equipment sufficient to give at least a measure of protection should not seem prohibitive when it is considered that the initial outlay and subsequent small tax will be offset in the course of time through reduction of fire insurance rates and the averting of property losses. e e THROUGH the length and breadth of the valley new homes are going up, many of them in the mansion class, but hardly a single one of these places has any least semblance of fire protection. If they catch fire, all the owners and willing neighbors can do is hustle out such furniture as time permits and let the dwelling burn. The money lost through one such fire as de stroyed the Brown home Sunday would purchase all the equipment needed for two or three fire districts. hi.U.D. Crosstown by Roland Cob 4-ZB.so llM1eeMt. .

One From The Birds In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Here is a highly significant little titbit in the news from Washington: "A 29 billion dollar nppro- Sriation bill which was to have een the vehicle for a house of representatives ECONOMY DRIVE is slowly but steadily GETTING BIGGER. "As the house stHrled today on its seventh day of considering the INDIVIDUAL allotments that make up the huge total, the bill was $67,300,000 larRer than when it started out and some substantial INCREASES are still in the offing." H OW come? Well, It seems to be this-a-way: The house of representatives of the congress of the United States, a lot of whose members had been yelling bloody murder for economy IN THE AB STRACT, brought up the subject of local hospitals built with the aid of federal cash. When the house got through with the subject, the Icderul-ind for-local - hospitnls appropriation had Been liuusitu oy 73 mil' lion bucks. Many difficulties are encountered in producing a newspaper, most of them due to man's commission or omission, some due to mechanical failures, some to the elements and a goodly number seemingly, just due to the perversity of things in general. e NE of the most unusual "gremlins" ever to snafu operations is reported in the latest edition of the United Press Bulletin, monthly publication issued by the wire service to its Pacific division newspapers. According: to the Bulletin the Salt Lake-Provo, Utah, U.P. teletype press circuit was getting out of order for five to ten minutes at just about the same time each day 3:30 p.m. The wire trouble baffled maintenance men because intervals of interference were bo brief that by the time crews could arrive at the spot where instruments seemed to locate the difficulty, the wires would clear up. e e FINALLY, it was noticed that a methodical dairy- man drove his herd of milk cows through a field in the trouble zone at 3 :J0 every day. It was figured that this procedure must have some connection with the strangely punctual wire trouble but it was not un til the plodding milk herd was watched for some time that cause of the wire interruption was discovered. In the cows movement through the field thousands of blackbirds were disturbed. Flying about for a time, they would light on nearby tele phone wires for a few minutes before settling once again to the business of picking up a living in the field. The combined weight of the blackbirds on a certain strand of wire caused it to rub against one adjoining. Result: teletype signals jumbled and harried newspaper telegraph editors tore their hair. harbor and flood control proj ects" (ALL of them to be built with money from Uncle Sam.) H OW about that one? It will work like this: A lot of these congressmen come from districts that want improvement (with federal money) of their rivers and harbors. A lot more of them come from districts wanting big flood control dams, with their accompanying big pay rolls while the dams are being built. When a congressman comes from a district that wants big wads of federal dough for hos pitals, or for harbor improve ment, or for river improvement, or for flood control dams, he HAS TO HEDGE ON ECONOMY. Economy In the abstract is all right, but when It is applied to the hospital or the harbor Im provement project or the river improvement project or the flood control project THAT HIS DIS TRICT WANTS It's a different matter entirely. Economy of that sort, vou see. is FALSE economy. piIAT is to my: w HY? I don't know. But I suspect mat a lot or inese congressmen come from districts that WANT HOSPITALS BUILT WITH THE AID OF FEDERAL DOUGH. THE Washington dispatch goes on: "Bigger Increases still (In the 29 billion dollar appropriation bill) are in the offing. . . Wait ing to be reached probably next week are proposals to add sub tantially to fundi for river and startling figures. This is the gist of them: Of the $414,000,000 taken OUT of Oregon by the federal government in taxes in 1949, ONLY $122,000,000 CAME BACK TO THE STATE IN THE FORM OF FEDERAL SPEND ING IN OREGON. New Directory Canvassing Now Underway Here. Canvassing is now underway for a new edition of a city and county directory by R. L. Polk and company, publishers, and it is expected that the directory will be completed by August, it was reported today. A crew of advertising solici tors were in Medford last fall to secure advertising copy for the publication, and the crews at work here now are collectine house - by - house information to be included in the directory. Carry Identification Canvassers have the annrovnl of the Jackson Countv Chamhor of Commerce in their work, ac cording to Secretary - Manager Don Lane. All housp-tn-hntic works carry identification.

Suit Against Salem Newspaper Dismissed Salem, Ore., Apr. 28 (U.R) Circuit Judge Ralph Hamilton of Bend dismissed a $20,000 li bel suit against George Putnam, publisher of the Capital Journal here, and Ray M. Moore in a non-suit ruling. Robert and John Marr were plaintiffs in the Marion county circuit court action.

But If It's for something WE WANT, that is another matter entirely and it woulH he i.k and short-sighted economy to fail i to spend the money. j I THINK you will recoRnize that as long as this kind of thinking continues we will go on spend ing our way happily down the primrose path at whose end lies national bankruptcy. JUST a word in closing: The other dav at a meetlne i Redmond, Senator Belton of the Oregon legislative interim com mittee on taxation, quoted ioma IF THOSE figures are correct (and I have considerable re spect for Senator Belton) they mean that for every dollar we get from Uncle Sam the old boy TAKES THREE DOLLARS AWAY FROM US and squan ders It somewhere else. Personally, I think we'd be better off to spend our money OURSELVES, thus getting all of it, instead of sending it to Wash ington first and getting back only a LITTLE of It.
