Fast Growth Shown
Preliminary census
Jackson county 17,176 and 57,831, respectively
though slightly under some recent estimates, uphold
the local boast that this is one of the fastest growing
areas in the entire nation.
THE SEVEN southwestern counties of Oregon
Coos, Curry, Douglas, Jackson, Josephine, Lane
and Linn are credited with having the largest
growth, percentagewise, in the country, with 58.S8
percent. It is interesting to note that Jackson county's
:9.fi9 per cent tops the regional figure.

EDFORD'S growth percentage of 52.25 does not

has been a great deal of building in all directions just
outside the municiple boundaries. Actually, if this
population could be listed as within the "Greater
Medford," we would undoubtedly have well over the
20,000 souls some had predicted.
a a
ALL IN ALL, there will be no disappointment about
the local figures though we do hope they can be
relied upon more than the census supervisor's word
to this newspaper as to when he would make them
available. On several different occasions the figures
were promised for a specific date and in each in
stance they were not forthcoming.
The supervisor also gave repeated assurances
that when figures for Medford became available this
newspaper would have at least an even break on their
release.
WHEN the figures were finally issued Thursday in
Eugene, at the southwest Oregon district super
visor's headquarters, they were made available to
other interests, and were not received by the Mail
Tribune until Saturday morning a full day after
they had become available
AT THE bottom of the supervisors letter trans
mitting the much wanted figures was a para
graph expressing thanks for the "wonderful coopera
tion" received.
We are glad the supervisor appreciates our co
operation though we wish he had shown his appre
ciation in a little more substantial manner. E.C.F.
New Ideas in Furniture
Shown at Chicago Market
Chlcno. June 19 (U.R)
Twenty-five thousand buyers
gathered here today to study the
newest ideas in home furnish
ings, including larger love seats
and left-handed can openers.
Prices were a little higher
than last year.
Four thousand home furnish

wares at the 2tith Summer Inter

which will continue through
June 28. Attendance is expected
to exceed that for any summer
market In history.

Handles on Chairs
Dining room chairs have hand
les on the back to make them
easily moveable.
Tables, chairs and lamps were
in "free forms" which one manu
facturer said meant they were
"any form that Is imaginative
and doesn't fit into a set pat
tern." Television set manufacturers
said they are planning sets with
larger screens. They said 98 per
rent of their business since the
first of 1950 has been in sets
with screens 12' j inches or
larger.
Air conditioning manufactur
ers predict this could be their
biggest year in history because
"people would rather stay at
home In comfort In the summer
than go to an air-conditioned
theater or restaurant."

A public hearing to determine
the extent of popular interest In

Mrs. Davis, the new mayor, Is

Mrs. Davis' campaign was not

So there wasn't time for any

That's what the lady and her

"We feel pretty good about
the turnout at the polls." she
said. "We have 133 registered
voters. We learned from unan
swered doorbells that 20 people
were out of town. We had a turn
out of 99 voters. We've had elec
tions here with a total vote of
15."
It was rather an unusual elec
tion all the way around. The
present council, male mostly,
actually got behind the ladies
in their effort.
Mrs. Davis and the others, In
the leafy village, pledged to fight
for three-ply improvements. First
was the matter of the street
lights which always seem to be
omg out. Second, getting the
grass manicured on public prop
erty. Third, doing something
about stray hungry dogs which
are forever biting people and
nosing over garbage pails.
The day after the election, tne
present council decided to get
in one of its last good licks and
ordered the grass cut around
town. The place looked pretty

Back at Harvard they've suc
ceeded in teaching pigeons to
piay tunes on a piano, to piay
table tennis, to tell time, to push
pushbuttons and to understand
changing colors like red and
green traffic lights.
Psychology Professor B. F.
Skinner has been doing the teach
ing, ana ne says tne purpose of
it is to determine whether chil
dren can be trained more effect
ively by encouraging and re
warding good behavior or by
punishing bad actions. He ex
plains that pigeons are Ideal sub
jects for such a study because
they have a "reaction time" com
parable to that of humans.
He adds that his experiments
so far cause him to lean toward
patting 'em on the head and
bringing out the candy sack when
they're good rather than using
the hair bru-h or the slipper
when they're bad.
f THINK there's a flaw in his
theory which he doesn't men
tion. If you spoil a pigeon by pam
pering it in order to get it to per
form as you want it to. you can
make pigeon pie out of the pig
eon and dust the whole business
off your hands.
But a spoiled child Is handi
capped throughout its whole life.
