NLRB Bargaining Election July 7 A new election to determine whether or not the local Team' sters union will be bargaining agent for non-seasonal employees at Bear Creek orchards will be held on Friday, July 7, at the county courthouse, the current Issue of the Oregon Teamster re ported. Polls will be open from 11 a m. to 1 p.m., and from S to (I p.m. Employees on the payroll immediately prior to June 8 will be able to vote, the Teamster said. Union Protest The new vote was ordered by the national labor relations board after it upheld union protests against the conduct of the pre vious election, which defeated the union. The union's challenge list was said unacceptable by the election examiner, and this de cision was overruled by the NLRB In Washington. The NLRB is still considering certification of another election held at the same time as the Bear Creek election, involving work ers at Southern Oregon Sales Inc., the Teamster said. The un ion also protested that election. Dead line on rlatsllfed Ads: B-SO p m. for following dav; 10 am Monday for Monday; noon Saturday for Sunday ton. Sears Roebuck ana Medford Mayor Diamond Flynn's report to the city council Tuesday night concerning his recent interview with a Sears Roebuck official should serve to clear the at mosphere regarding the company's plans for the site on South Riverside avenue. a a a e o "THE land was purchased some time ago for the an- nounced purpose of constructing a large store and a number of dwellings were removed soon after the lots were acquired. Although it appeared at that time that construction would start immediately, noth ing has since been done. THE official informed Mayor Flynn that his com- pany has no immediate plans for construction and he also stated that rumors that Sears Roebuck has been seeking a highway site between this city and Talent are completely without foundation. . e . . IUST what caused the big merchandising concern to change its plans regarding a Medford installa tion has.never been completely explained. It is under stood, however, that the company's expansion pro gram was altered somewhat immeditely after the war to provide for concentration on larger centers of pop ulation. It is also understood that as money becomes avail able for future store building the installation of a large branch here, probably including a retail facility and a distribution center for mail orders, will be un dertaken. E.C.F. Keeping Business Downtown (Albany Democrat-Herald) Both at Salem and Corvallis sizable apartment house construction projects have been launched, the latest being a 6-story 48-unit structure at Corvallis. These are in addition to extensive apartment accom modations in the downtown areas of the two towns. A LB ANY is sorely in need of such housing, and local downtown business interests overlooked a bet when they failed to insure permanence of downtown customers while construction costs were low. As a result residential units are being scattered all over the landscape and downtown business establishments are losing much patronage that they might have assured for themselves had they awakened to the dan ger which was obvious when the new highway was built through town. AN APARTMENT house such as that projected at " Corvallis can house from 100 to 130 persons. Two or three such buildings downtown would be a distinct asset to the central trading area, for few urban apart ment occupants would go to the outskirts to do their trading. Business created by purchases made for 300 or more persons would make a marked ditterence in business volume in the vicinity of these housing units when added to that already afforded by downtown residents, and the apartments would forever serve as an anchor to the Albany business district which it must be admitted shows some signs of deteriorat ing in favor of suburban shopping centers. As to the demand for apartments, one can hardly doubt when cyie surveys the miserable living quarters for which occupants are now paying from $25 to $50 month. "THE business interests of the town have it within their power to save themselves. There has been too much procrastination, it is true, but more business will be available and it is not too late to capture it as it comes. All that is necessary is foresight and action to back it. Crosstown By Roland Coa I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. I'r n.vtr heard of anybody gating dishpan hands from wiping dishes." In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS From Washington: "Leon H. Keyserling, chair man of President Truman's council of economic advisers, says the nation is "at the peak point of post-war real prosperity' and the outlook for the rest of the year is good." IF that is true ( and I certainly hope it is) we ought to be paying off our national debt in stead of increasing the mort gage on the house to pay our grocery bills. Any business man knows that if you keep adding to your debt when times are good, instead of paying off on it, you're in for bad times when times aren't so good. News of 4-H CLUBS Gold Hill 4-H club's regular meeting was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Day, in Sams Valley. There was good attend ance and the interesting and in structive meeting was presided over by the new president, Dick Biles. Robert Kamplng of Gold Hill was accepted as new mem ber. It was reported that the local lamb show was a success and very helpful to members. The club treasury made $13 from the food booth. Club Leader Norman Gail ex plained how to properly fill out the club record books and an nounced that all lambs to be shown at the county fair next week should be on the grounds by 6 p. m. on Monday. -Sammy Collins. Reporter. Beans Removed as Columbia River Rises The Dalles. Ore.. June 23 U.P.l Sixty men were recruited here last night to move 85 car loads of beans owned by the commodity credit corporation irom nocks on the Columbia i river following reports that the I river would rise higher than ore- dieted, j Dolph Kinsey. manager of the port of The Dalles, said the ' beans would be moved any-'' where they could find room at high levels. He reported the riv-: er level at the docks was 47.5 feet last night and it would 1 have to reach 50.7 feet before the i docks were flooded. 1 City officials said levees pro tected most of the city but warn-1 Democratic Picnic Committee Named Glen L.

Invitations have already been sent out to democratic Governor Nominee Austin Flegel.

As soon as the state committee officers are elected on July 15, they also will receive Invitations, she said. DLEASE don't get me wrong I know we're not going to cut down on our spending and start retiring our debt THIS YEAR. This is an election year, and everybody running for of fice thinks the way to get elected is to SPEND. I'm just so hope lessly behind the times as to think that if you keep on spend ing more than you take in the time will come when you will wish you hadn't. THIS one is from South Carol-inn- "Federal retirement pay drawn by Former Secretary of State James F. Byrnes was in jected into the South Carolina governor's race yesterday. "Lester L. Bates, one of Byrnes' three opponents for the governorship in the Democratic primary, declared' that Byrnes draws $6,637.08 a year in a fed eral pension. Bates said the mon ey, no doubt, is deserved and is being put to good use. 'But,' he added, 'the regrettable thing is that all our people can not be provided for in the same propor tion as the politicians provide for themselves.' " Lausche that he hasn't made up his mind yet whether he will vote for Ohios incumbent Sen ator Taft in November or for Taft's Democratic opponent for the senatorship. That, by any accepted politi cal standard, is HERESY, and since Taft is a national figure Democrats all over the country are wondering what the heck this guy Lausche is up to. UELL. he MIGHT be as com pletely sincere as to believe that Taft is the best man for the state of Ohio and for the nation. The political slant on the cident, however, seems to be that Lausche has decided that Taft is going to be overwhelmingly re-elected and he might as well make political medicine for him self by climbing on Taft's band wagon NOW. Politics is a great game. COMMUNICATIONS Letters to the editor mast beat the name and addresse of tha writer although under certain circum stances tha use of a pen name or Initial for publication Is permls slble. The Mall Tribune reserves tha right to edit all letters with a view to clarification and conden satlon. Letters submitted for pub llratlon must not exceed 400 words THAT'S a crack at the fact that under the federal re tirement pay system our politic ians are pretty well provided for when they "retire" which means when they get defeated for re-election, for no politician ever retires for any other rea son. In fairness, it ought to be add ed that they put up a fair-sized chunk of the money themselves by deductions from their salaries while they are still in office. THIS week's big political news G.O.P. Appreciative To the editor: It is indeed a pleasure to me to hereby inform you that at a meeting of Jackson County Republican Central com mittee held in Medford June 19, 1950, it was moved, seconded and voted that a letter be pre pared and sent to The Medford Mail Tribune expressing the ap preciation and thanks of this cen tral committee for the co-operation and the useful service which has been received from that newspaper.
