Langham, a mechanical engineer employed by the coun try roads board of Victoria, Aus tralia, was a visitor in Medford Friday and Saturday. He was in the Rogue valley to inspect var ious models of Tucker Sno-Cats to see if they can be used in the snow fields of Victoria for tak ing winter sports enthusiasts to snow resorts distant from road ways. While here he was entertained by members of the Tucker firm, and on riday was lanen 10 cra ter Lake by Morris Tucker in a Model 83 sno-uai. r.lM Hnanitalitv The Australian visitor said he was greatly impressed wnn im heautv of the lake, unique in Morris B. Leonard Named Chairman 01 Bond Campaign George W. Mlmnaugn of Port land, state director of the trea sury department's savings bond division, announced here yester day that Morris B. Leonard Sr., long time Medford business man, has consented to assume tht chairmanship for United States thrift bond sales In Jack son county. Leonard will suc ceed Carey Thompson who has moved to eastern wasnmisiuii. Mimnnuch said he was par ticularly happy to secure the leariershm in this county of a man as well known and highly regarded as Leonard. The di rector pointed out that the new county chairman, a veteran of World War I, has owned the Leonard Electric company here for over 25 years, has taken a prominent part in civic affairs, is a past president of the Rotary club, a past exalted ruler of the Elks lodge, and has devoted much time to chamber of com merce and Red Cross work. Many Own Bonds Although the past winter, with considerable unemployment due to weather Interruption of in dustry, has seen fairly heavy cashing of savings bonds, Mim naugh reports that Oregon ians still have more than $500 million in the securities and that the interest on these savings is bringing the people of Oregon more than $14 million a year. In the next few weeks the treasury department plans a new campnign to interest people in uvi-nil savins. The treasury has purchased 50 replicas of the historic iiiocriy dcii wmwi " nminred the Declaration of Independence. Mimnaugh said some of the big copper companies donated $115,000 to buy the bells and they were made in France at the world's most famous foundry. Each state and the District of Columbia will get a bell and It Is planned to have them tour the states with visits at as many schools as possible, the director said. "The campaign slogan will be 'Save for your Independence Buy United States Savings Bonds,' and we hope and expect that the effort will have a tre mendous impact In every com munity where there is intelligent and interested leadership," he added. the world in its type and size. But he was even more impressed by what he said was "wonderful hospitality" of Americans. "Everyone I have met," he said, "has been most helpful and cooperative. They have been willing to give me the informa tion I need on my trip, and with out their help it would have been much more difficult." Langham is on a six-month tour away from his country, two months of which will be spent in the United States. He is stop ping at the larger cities of the Pacific Coast, and later will go on to New York and other east ern cities. Later he will go on to Great Britain and Europe be fore returning to Australia next October. To See Machinery He was sent to this country and England to investigate the latest developments in road con struction machinery, and to see the latest designs for workshops and methods used to maintain road equipment. "The use of this machinery for rnadbuilding increased very con siderably in Australia during the war years," Langham said, "and Hieat difficulty is now being ex perienced in maintaining this Dlant, due to a shortage of man nower and a shortage of dollars which prohibits Australia from ourchasing badlv needed re placement crawler tractors." Langham left Medford Satur day for San Francisco. Discusses Government In reply to questions, he said that there seemed to be a general misunderstanding of the type of government in Australia, which is an independent dominion, and he explained that the only tie with Great Britain is through the royal house. "We could thumb our nose at England if we wanted to," he remarked with a smile. Langham added that Aus tralia is looking to the United States for leadership in world af fairs. We hope America can take the lead in the same way that England did for so many years, he said. And he intimat ed that there are bonds between Australia and the United States which are greater than the sim ilarity in language. Langham flew to this country in a British Commonwealth Pa cific airlines DC-6 by way of Sydney, Fiji islands, Canton island, and Honolulu.
