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.
