Local Delegates Attending
YIV3CA Youth 'Legislature'
Eleven Medford students, dele
gates to the state Youth and Gov
ernment program held in Salem
this week-end, were due to re
turn home today after three
days of sessions of the annual
"Youth Legislature." 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. One provided for the crea

ATTEND YOUTH LEGISLATURE These Medford young
people, representing the Medford Senior Hi Y and Senior Tri Hi
Y, spent the last three days in Salem, attending the Young and

Padgham, Eleanor Bragg, Gail West; third row: Wallace Baumer,

the registering and licensing of
contractors in the state. Another
proposed a new highway com
mission comprised of the presi
dent of the senate, speaker of
the house, one member elected
from the state at large, and four
other members eleced from the
four congressional districts.
The third bill is a product of
the combined efforts of both Hi
Y and Tri Hi Y clubs. It proposes
an amendment to the constitu
tion prohibiting state real or
personal property tax levies ex
cept for the retirement of state
indebtedness.
Arguments supporting t h e
bills have been compiled, and
research has been done to fur
nish answers to criticisms of
them.
Foundation Makes Preparations for Possible Epidemic
Portland, Apr. 29 Joe F.
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.
