Bend Delegates Seek Municipal Water Salem, Ore., May fi (U.R A drlcniitioii from Bend, whero the geni'rous Deschutes river flows riKlit through the city, runio to Snlrin today to try tn find 5 mil lion more gallons of water n Hay for drinking and other municipal purposes. As II. II. Dp Armond. member of the Bend water board il served: "We've got lots of water going right through our city. We have reservoirs storing it there. But a large part of It l allocated for irrigation, and what's led for municipal use Is nol enough "The reason is simply that Bend has grown so rapidly." The delegation conferred with State Engineer Charles E. Strick lln as to means of getting more water preferably more of the fine drinking water from Tumn lo creek. Three Hospitals Everyone takes hospitals pretty much for grant ed, until he has to make use of a hospital's facili ties. At that moment, the hospital how it is run, who runs it, what it costs becomes of great and per sonal importance. flJEXT Friday Medford folk will have an opportunity to see for themselves what we have offered in the way of hospitals, the painless way. May 12, Fri day, is Hospital day, and Medford's two "civilian" hospitals will be holding open house. At the Camp White veterans domiciliary center, there will be an open house on Sunday. While the center is not itself a hospital, there are complete hospital facilities there, and this unit too is taking advantage of the oppor tunity to ask the public in to take a look around. As residents who have been here more than a year or two know, the big brick buildings now hous ing the veteran members at the center, were them selves an army hospital when men of the two divisions which trained here were stationed on the huge re serve. T'HE present hospital facilities at the center are tak- ing on a continually more important function as new members are received at the center. There are more than 600 members in residence now, and more are arriving, nearly every day. It Is pretty much of an open secret that many more men will be here be fore long just how, many is not yet known. But vet erans organization representatives have said that an additional 500 beds are being sought, and at the time of the center's activation, more than a year ago, the talk was of 1,000 to 1,200 members. As the number increases, the hospital facilities must be extended and broadened to take care of the additional population. And a large percentage of the members are suffering from one sort of disability or another. Many are wheel chair patients, while others are forced to use the assistance of canes or crutches. In the broadening of the hospital's scope, there is some thought that greater attention will be paid to the medical needs of non-member veterans, who here tofore have bad to go to Portland to have service connected medical problems looked after. e IN THE two city hospitals, Medford is fortunate in having excellent facilities. Both units, in common with all hospitals these days, are facing increasing problems of keeping up their medical standards and services, and keeping costs from becoming prohibi tive. It is to be hoped that Medford will show suf ficient interest to visit one or both on Friday. E.A. Humane Society Asks Kindness to Animals Today, May 7, is "Humane Sunday," residents were remind ed Saturday by Mrs. Sidney Richardson, of the Jackson County Humane society, and the week starting today is Be Kind to Animals week. This is the 36th consecutive year the week has been observed, as a reminder of "the interde pendence of humans and ani mals. Mrs. Richardson said. More than 600 humane societies are participating. The local society, located on Table Rock road, urged kindness for "all living creatures, not only this week, but every ensuing week of the year." Mrs. Richardson announced that radio talks In observance of the week will be broadcast over radio station KYJC at 4:30 p. m. Wednesday, and KMED at 4:15 p. m. Monday. Polling Places in County Precincts Listed by Clerk With a record number of vot ers registered for the May pri mary elections, republican and democratic leaders are now making an effort to get out a heavy vote on Friday, May 19. In cooperation with these groups, the county clerk's office has released a list of polling places in each of the country's Ashland 9, 390 Liberty street; Ashland 10, Washington school; Ashland 11. 936 Oak street; Ash land 12, 368 Bridge street; Ash land 13, SOCE gym; Ashland 14, Valley View school; Barron 15, Neil Creek school; Bellview 16, Bellview Grange; Pinehurst 17, Lincoln school; Colstine 18, Siskiyou maintenance station; 84 precincts. Any changes that! Lake Creek 19, Lake Creek may develop in the following list between now and the elec tiqn date will be published. Ashland Polls The oolling place list follows: Ashland Precinct 1, public II- Drary; Asmana 2, city hall; Asn land 3, 129 Granite street; Ash land 4, armory; Ashland 5, Walt's Shoe Shop. 76 North Main street; Ashland 6, base ment of Free Methodist church, Seventh and Main streets; Ash land 7, Junior high school; Ash land 8, 521 North Main street; In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS jpHIS is from Washington: "The United States chamber of commerce gave its endorsement today to a 'modest and carefully considered' program of export ing American know-how (plus American capital) to further the industrial development of back ward lands." Weidner s Job Leo Weidner, Medford's fire consultant from the Portland fire department, has nothing to gain or lose personally whether the proposed fire department bond issue passes or is defeated at the primary elec tion May 19. OUT it is a tribute to his professional pride and com- petence that he is taking an active and personal interest in the outcome. He is a man who came to Medford highly recommended as a fire expert, and he has fulfilled all expectations. His report to the city council, published recently in The Mail Tribune, was a clear and convincing docu ment testifying to the city's need for something more than the departmental set-up we now have which was rated only mediocre when it served a city half the size of the one to which Medford has grown. PLSEWHERE in this edition of The Mail Tribune " will be found an article briefly describing Weid ner's remarks before a group of property owners of Medford this week. In that talk, Weidner said that he felt only a lack of understanding of the fire preven tion problems in the city would permit defeat of the proposed bond issue. Those who have made a study of the matter and there are many, some of whom were originally opposed to the proposal are virtually unanimous in acclaiming it as a masterful description of what a city of 20.000 people needs to protect from fire, and to keep fire insurance rates down. e e a DUT whether the bond issue passes or is defeated " and we sincerely hope it passes Weidner is en titled to the thanks'of Medford for creating a work ing blueprint for future use in creating a fire depart ment equal to the task assigned to it.

May 6 lU Ri The government today withdrew price support protection from most of California's potato grow ers because they refused to ac cept the federal marketing pro gram. The growers produced a crop of more than Md.OOD.OOO bushels Inst year which were marketed throughout the country. This year's crop already is moving to market. Last vear the govern ment had to buy up 1.000.000 bushels of the crop for price sup port. The sericulture department announced there will be no price support on any of California's potatoes this year except those grown In Modoc and Siskiyou counties. BABSON WELL READ New Boston. N. H. (U.R) Roger W. Babson. economist, may not harness the power of gravity, but his experimental station here already is making New England history. Some 200.000 books are being remov ed to Hudson's property, site of his Gravity Research Founda tion. They will give New Bos tin the second largest library in New Hampshire and Vermont. DO you get the full significance of that? It means that FOR OUR OWN GOOD (within the limits of wise and careful judgment) we should build industrial plants in foreign lands and man them with Ameri can technicians so that these for eign lands can: 1. Buy less of certain goods from this country because they will have more of their own. 2. Ship goods into this coun try in competition withour own domestic plants. THAT'S pretty far for an or ganization composed exclu sively of American business men to go, isn't it? Well, it's wise. It's SOUND. It will have to be done if we are to keep our place in the world. T has been done before. It was done by England be ginning about a century ago. AT that time, England sat on the pinnacle of world indus trial development. Her factories dominated the markets of the world. She was the WORK SHOP of the world. In time, the knowledge broke on her that if she was to sell the output of her factories her cus tomers over the world must have more money with which to buy. At the same time, her investors began to discover that her indus trial plant was so far built up that all their capital was no long er needed at home. So they began to invest abroad. They invested HEAVILY in America. Our early railroads were largely built with English capital. English capital went ex tensively into our early factory development. For generations, the English investor bulked large in all our plans for expansion. JT paid off. As these industries financed in foreign countries with English capital began to show a profit, the profit came back to England. The economists have a special name for these profits on outside investments. They call them "in tangible imports," or something like that. At the beginning of World War I, these returns on outside invest ments bulked very large Indeed in England's national income. In order to finance World War I, she had to sell a lot of them. To finance World War II, she had to sell about all of her outside in vestments that were left.

That is one principal reason why England is so tragic ally short of dollars in these days. WE now sit on the seat where England sat a century ago. We are top industrial dog in the world. The reasons that induced England to INVEST ABROAD then apply with full force to us now. The United States chamber of commerce recognizes that fact, and moves cautiously to approve the doing by us of the thing that was done by England in the days when England sat where we sit now. Thatls the long and the short of this proposal that Americans begin to invest their capital and their know-how abroad. On its face, it looks a little screwy. His tory proves that it isn't. JT all comes down to this: You can't live alone and do your own washing in this world if you want to PROSPER. You have to deal with other people. You have to BUY as well as sell. If Jackson county built an in superable wall around itself with GATES OPENING OUTWARD (so that we could export BUT COULDN'T IMPORT) we'd soon revert to the status of the In dians. To prosper, you have to TRADE. Trade Involves buying as well as selling. Police Efficiency Gets Praise; Boy Found W. C.
