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.

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. E.A.

Washintogn. 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.

So she gets far less of these
"intangible imports" than she
used to. 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.

4. He will be guided by the interests of the people of the State of Oregon and the
United States and not be dictated to by pressure groups.
5. He favors the protection and preservation of free enterprise and the rights of all
workers against the encroachment of any kind of bosses, factory, corporation, gov
ernment or labor bosses.
6. He will not be a party to the confirmation of any Federal Executive who does not

mittee chairman at the Medford Hotel.
The records show that Senator Wayne Morse voted identically with Senator
Claude Pepper of Florida on 16 important Fair Deal Senate bills.
