Portland Bakers Will Resume Negotiations Portland, Ore., May 17 (U.R) Negotiations with the Continent al Baking company on a local basis will resume, the AFL Bakers and Confectionary Work ers union said today. The issue of local versus na tional negotiating recently threatened to start a national bakers' strike. John Leffelman, business agent for local 114, said the company had agreed to enter nationwide negotiations next year. However, a local representative of the com pany said he had not received word of such a decision. The company representative said the national labor relations board would rule as to whether employees at individual plants or those of the entire nation were the proper bargainnig units. The union bakers were asking for a 35-hour week of five con secutive days with no pay reduc tion. In the large machine plants their present schedule calls for 36 hours in a six-day week. ONE A YEAR.

Coll 2-71 11 OK, SEE AN AUTHORED TRAVEL AGENT B. By L. J. "Tick" Milarkey inis writer struck out with the bases loaded in Sunday's re port of an open VFW meeting held at the Center last week. He i stated that auxiliary members from Eagle Point were present and for this he is in error. No VFW post at Eagle Point. The ladies were from Central Point. So apologies are in order. A few words about Henry L. Williams who has been so active in affairs of VFW Post 6412 here at White. Greybeard Wil liams was in the old Third Ore gon, Company M, Salem when the Big Rumpus was kicked up back in "17 and '18. Went over in December of 1917 right out of the mud of Camp Mills, N. Y. Sailed in the troop carrier Tus cania. Incidentally this ship was torpedoed and sunk on her next trip across. When "The Third" was split up friend Williams was attached to the First Division and saw action a'plenty until he "stopped one." Out here the one time young man from up Salem way cares for a volunteer detail around the laboratory and be tween times look after VFW af fairs in an office assigned the post by Manager Hatton. Hans Sorensan, the Durable Dane of the hobby shop, heads the bow upstream this evening and tomorrow will check in at Portland VA high up on Mar quam Hill, Sam Jackson Park, where he will undergo surgery. Hans assures us that he will be back at his hobby of making beautiful rings and neck pieces and lots of other gadgets from the stones he gathers from near and far. This writer feels a debt of gratitude to Greybeard Hans for the "Doodad" he made for daugh ter Molly which she will wear when she stands up with her eighth grade classmates on June 2 and gets the d i p lo m a that means freshman in high school this coming fall. Of interest is the fact that Sorenson served in the same out fit with President Truman and knew him when he was a second "louie" back in '18 days. Gladys Feagand. the lady bug, and Jewell Feagand. the scratch provoking cooties from Grants Pass Jewell is the husband of Gladys passed out cigarettes and luxuries to the boys who d o n't "draw" Thursday after noon. This happy couple are from the VFW past Grants Pass, and this writer had the pleasure of meeting them, introductions by Chauncey Page the crawl inggest cootie of 'cm all in the coffee canteen. Greybeard Jewell Feagand enlisted in Kansas, went over with the 88th division and saw enough to remember when Uncle Samuel got his dander up some 33 years ago. Got out of it good and now makes his home with Gladys in Caveman Town. The Feagands have a hobby. It is com ing to the plains of Camp White and visiting with the Bamboos, Greybeards and Kids. When the Knight of Columbus were putting on their Friday night Quiz Show there was a more than active miss, not a teen-ager, going from table to table. "What is your name, sis?" "Patricia Anne Meeker, and that's my mother and dad over there. And next year I start to school; because I'll be 6 then. Are you through school? Yes, Patricia Anne, we are through school. But somehow we would like to start all over just like you are going to begin when the pear leaves begin to fall and the autumn fog lies low in the Valley of the Rogue. We saw her first snapping flash lights when the Gold Star Mothers were being installed as a Medford chapter some 10 days ago. An introduction followed. Then again the lady came to White and this time she was taking pictures of members, eight of them, and for free. Who is she? Bonnie Conrad of the Memory Lane Studio in Ashland. With her sister, Mildred Ager, they come out to the plains of White once each month and take pic tures, finish them and then they are given to the members as a gift. Bonnie is alone now. Her hus band, Warren, who was with the 104th Division, WW II, did not come home. Chicago (U.R) Raymond Lof fredi, 13, came home with a fish story and a fish to prove It. He was playing at a park lagoon when a big fish popped its nose out of the water. Ray grabbed a stick and whacked it over the head. It was a 10' pound carp. OUT OF ORDER Indianapolis (U.R) Municipal Judge Joseph M. Howard fined Harry Brooks, 25, for speeding. "But, Judge, Im a race driver," Broks exclaimed. "Well, don't do your racing on our streets," answered Judge Howard. (Acme TelephntOf SYMBOLIC Low-angle photograph of the Parliament building In Winnipeg.

Red River nears its flood crest. Over Town last Saturday afternoon the urge to talk In surance with some of the local agents became so strong that I went shopping around looking for the people here that had some of the companies that we used to represent in Astoria. That is how the office of Ray Marks got on my calling list. We got to talking about Legion affairs. Ray has been a member of Medford Post 15 for 22 years. Came here with Beale Tank & Pipe company of Portland as a welder back in 1927 and follow ing the completion of a contract for the Medford water system joined with the Shell Oil com pany and drove tank truck for a long, long time. Been at insur ance and real estate since 1946. The Greybeard even drove a locomotive aonce, out at L Grande. Ray is married and daughter Jeanette Is attending Southern Oregon college. A "Private M." was leaving PICKIN PEARS Continued .... he noticed an election placard. The man is running for sheriff! And he grinned when I asked how and when and confessed it was his first fling at politics. Well "firsts" are always news. For the life of me I don't know whether he is a democrat, re publican or independent. A 1 1 that 1 do know is that Ray is fine to visit with and having lived in Medford all of this time must have a friend or two around Jackson county. Sewers, Water Mains Get City Council Consideration The air was not shattered by the force of Hatton's blow. Yes. he did better than mighty Casey of baseball lore. Camp White's manager hit. Pitcher Anderson, of the big league wind up, had the count at two and two while throwing to that great CBtcher Jake Olson, president of Eagle Point Boosters club. Just for one pitch did executive officer Anderson lose the hop on his fast ball. The city council accepted a bid for construction of a section of storm sewer, authorized con struction of a sewer and two water mains, set a hearing date on three other proposed sewers and referred four paving peti tions to committee at a regular meeting last night. Groesbeck and Hickson, Eu gene, was successful bidder with a $2,700.70 offer on the portion of south Medford storm sewer on Monroe street, Holly to Fir streets. Engineer's estimate on the work was $3,182.25. Other bidders were W. H. Conrad, Er win and Denslow and F. W. Scheffel. Call For Bids Following hearings, a sanitary sewer in the Getchell tract and water lines on Second street be tween Columbus and Western avenues and on Western be tween Humphrey and Second streets were approved and calls for bids authorized. Plans and specifications were accepted and June 6 set as hearing date for sewers on Win chester and Mr. Pitt avenues be tween Peach and Hamilton And that was enough for "Slugger" Paul Hatton. He came through and smashed that ball down the first base line which would have been a hit in any league if he had only run It out. These were some of the pre liminaries to the official open ing of the league season between clubs of Eagle Point and Butte Falls last Sunday. There were lirsts for this and firsts for that. There was both good and bad baseball. Even heads were bumped as two brothers, one an outfielder and the other a short stop, collided while chasing a fly ball. The home team. Eagle Point, lost by a couple of runs. But the good crowd who at tended had a lot of fun anyway particularly the lads from the plains of Camp White who are members Out Here. streets and on Peach between Mt. Pitt and Stewart avenues. Petitions were referred to the streets and roads committee and city engineer's office for paving Winchester and Mt. Pitt ave nues between Peach and Hamil ton streets, Maple street be tween Riverside and Central avenues and the alley between Fourth and Fifth streets in block 23. original town, on which the city hall stands. Rater Petition A petition for grading and graveling Woodlawn avenue be tween Keen Way and Highland drives was also handed to the committee.
