Toscanini, whose greatness and personality are indelibly felt in contemporary music, arrived aboard a special car at the rear of the train, complete with spe cial, well-stocked larder, a per sonal chef, dining room, living room and lounge. Hardly a downtown store was without a portrait of the maestro in its windows and the Benson hotel prepared a special suite for the 83-year-old conductor. A large black sedan was hired for his sole use while in Port land, including a condition that the chauffeur be a man about 45 years of age, who is not to speak to the musical wizard unless spoken to first.

Subjects which were aired by the merchants ranged through support of the Sheriff's posse Rogue River Roundup, publicity for the opening of the Haw thorne park swimming pool, a screening committee to review fund solicitations, publicizing Medford as the southern Oregon and northern California shop ping center, tourist promotion, the city license problem, and generally improving retail trade through cooperation and crea tion of a modern, friendly at mosphere. Tells Of Aid Chet Hubbard, president of the chamber, explained how that organization is equipped to as sist retail merchants in solving their problems, and Robert Agard, chairman of the retail trade committee, also spoke briefly. Dick Kay, of the Sheriff's posse, explained plans for an ex panded Roundup this year, and urged merchants to trim their windows so that both the Round up and the - merchants would benefit. Tony Manno suggested that the week of June 5 be de signated as "roundup week," and that store employees wear western garb. Discusses Tourists John Snider, chairman of the chamber's tourist travel sub committee, said that an import ant factor in tourist promotion would be education through the schools, and he suggested that an attractive emblem be designed for stores to display. Plans for the pool dedication were discussed by Mrs. Dick Paine, who said the ceremonies are tentatively set for Sunday, June 4. Advisability of having a parade were discussed. City Councilman Paul Selby explained some of the back ground of the pool project, and stated that it is a facility of which Medford can be proud. The investment should be made use of by keeping activities at a high pitch, he said. Hubbard outlined a plan for control of solicitations, which he said have gotten to a point where merchants cannot handle them. Some merchants reported six to nine solicitations in one day. It was suggested that the chamber appoint a committee to act on out-of-town solicitor appeals. Seavicw, Wash., May 9 (U.R) Mrs. Lavina Cory, 102, died late Sunday at the home of her son, G. W.
