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.

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

"But, Judge, Im a race driver,"

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

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.

Mt. Pitt and Stewart avenues.
Petitions were referred to the

Rater Petition
A petition for grading and
graveling Woodlawn avenue be
tween Keen Way and Highland
drives was also handed to the
committee.
The council authorized need
ed and extensive repair to a taxi
way at the municipal airport.
An estimated $7,500 to $10,000
is required for the work and
will be taken from the airport i

Sale of a lot to Richard J. and
