They are members of Medford's Hi Y and Tri Hi Y organizations, and were accompanied by Wallace Bau mer, youth program director of the YMCA here, as advisor. The eleven students were se . lected on the basis of their qual ifications by fellow members of the young peoples' groups here. They included Henry Padgham, Ken Degerness, Donna Mullin, Colleen Atturberry, Carolyn Coleman and Gail West, with Elayne Leach making the trip as journalist. Duane Thompson and Baumer drove the young people north in cars furnished by A. Z. "Tubby" Dean and Ford McCor mick. Talk By Governors Among the events scheduled during the mock legislature were addresses by Gov. Douglas Mc Kay and by Wayne Carothers, Klamath Falls, who is the youth governor this year. The legislature goes through almost exactly the same proced ure as does the "real" legislature. Bills are submitted, considered by committees, and acted upon, with sponsors defending their merits in debate on the floor. Bills may be defeated, passed, amended, re-referred to commit tee, or disposed of in other ways permitted by parliamentary pro cedure. After passage, the bills are sent to the governor for ap proval or veto. Hav Three Bills Three bills were to be sub mitted by the Medford delega tion.

Kievit, state representative of the National Foundation for In fantile Paralysis, has returned from a six-day epidemic pre paredness conference in New York city with National Founda tion officials and representatives of other national groups. If polio strikes anywhere in Oregon this summer, Kievit said, local and state health authorities can count on the entire resources of the foundation. "Organizational committees have been established to insure under the direotion of state and local health officers, the quick est possible aid to communities if polio strikes this summer, as it did with record force last year," he said. Other groups represented at the meeting were the Red Cross, the Joint Orthopedic Nursing Advisory service, and the Amer ican Physical Therapy associa tion. Duff Tells Active Club of Problems Of Wafer Supply Robert A. Duff, superintend ent of the Medford water com mission, explained problems fac ing that department at Thurs day's meeting of the Medford Active club. Duff pointed out that users of Medford water had increased from 9,600 people when the present pipeline was constructed in 1926-27, to over 23,000 users today. An average of 11 million gallons is used daily. In the sum mer months the usage goes as high as 14 million gallons daily, which necessitates drastic cur tailment of use to preserve wat er in reservoirs. With an in crease of 1000 users during the last year, he predicted that re strictions would probably be greater this summer than last year. Tells of New Lin Duff stated that if the pro posed bond issue for a new pipe line is approved by the voters in the May primary election, an additional 20 million gallons of water can be brought to the city daily. This and the present line is estimated to be sufficient to supply a city of 54.000 popula tion. He pointed out that the city had derived $875,000 since 1927 from the sale of water by meter rates to users outside the city. Frank Hull Jr was program chairman for the evening. West Coast Airlines Tells of New Schedule New schedules for West Coast airlines departures from the Medford airport, effective Mon day, were announced Saturday by Chuck Whillock, airline sta tion manager here. Northbound departures will be at 7:30 a.m., 1 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. (all standard time.) Whillock said that indications are for a peak travel season in the northwest this year. Revenue passengers and passenger miles flown both showed a strong in crease in February and March over the same period last year. Improved economic conditions in fishing and lumbering were contributed to the bright outlook lor this year. HUE STATION N0 '2""' Filled With SNIDERS Mineral-Rich Non-Fattening Skim Milk!
