EIGHT MEDFORD (OHEGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Monday. July 9, 1950
First Housing Units Started
At White City Development
A self-sustaining city someday
may flourish on the Camp White
plain of Jackson county where
soldiers trained for World War
II.
Confident of the future of the
White City Lumber company de
velopment at the former army
camp site, Bruce Bauer, Inc., has
outlined a long range plan for
establishment of residential and
business districts. It is a ten-year
program, part of which is al
ready underway.
Construction Started
Construction of 25 two-bedroom
homes has been started by
the Bauer firm, according to T.
J. Hight, Medford realtor, who
is handling the sales under fed
eral housing administration
terms. Depending on the sales of
these, he said, another group of
28 multiple dwellings or three
bedroom homes will be construc
ted. In a third group 24 homes
are contemplated.
The home sites are plotted on
a huge, half-oval-shaped area
and the dwellings, when the en
tire project is completed will
front on three wide streets. In
the center of the residential sec
tion will be a large recreation
area. This area, where the head
quarters of the 91st infantry
division once stood, is about 800
feet southeast of the veterans
domiciliary center.
Business Sactioh
Across a wide division street
from the residences and set far
back from the thoroughfare,
Bruce Bauer, Inc., plans a busi
ness section with off-the-street
parking. This shopping center
would be designed to attract
highway trade as well as local
shoppers. Offices and stores for
a variety of businesses are an
ticipated in the overall develop
ment. A church, a school and an
athletic field are included in the
master plan.
Facilities would be leased to
businessmen.
Hight said the homes will be
erected on spacious lots, the
smallest to be 75 by 100 feet.
The dwellings will have hard
wood floors and will be well
insulated, he reported. Windows
will be weather tight. All utili
ties, sewer, water, heating facili
ties, will be provided. Paved
streets are included.
Fire Protection
Buyers will be protected fully
by restricted covenants, Hight
slated. He said that fire protec-

tion for the area has been
worked out with White City
Lumber company and the veter
ans adminisration domiciliary
center.
The $7,000 two-bedroom
houses will sell for a $400 down
payment which includes closing
costs. Monthly payments will be
$37 plus a small sum for taxes.
The tax amount to be included
has not yet been determined,
Hight said.
Completion of the first group
of houses is expected in August.
Hight reported that a number of
prospective buyers have already
indicated interest. The homes
will provide near-the-job resi
dence for employees of the
veterans center and various in
dustries of the area.

'Grange Convention
Lest we forget, it Is well to
think over how many people we
know in the service of federal
and state governments who are
farmers past or present or the
sons of farmers.
The political extremists among
these farm folks in government
service are few and far between.
In this sense they are mainly
mid-road Americans. To put it
another way, they are good
Grangers, in spirit if not in
actual membership. They were
to be met withall around the big
Grange state convention at
which I recently spoke a piece.
One who is both a government
man and a Granger met me and
took me in hand as soon as I
showed up at the auditorium
where the 3,000 delegates and
attending members were gather
ed for the week of meetings. He
was another Jim, and a son of
John, as I am.
John is one of the very best
practitioners of farm forestry
that I know. Jim is an able and
whole-souled servant of the peo
ple in the soil conservation ser
vice. If there are only a few like
Jim Granger in the state depart
ment, we have little to fear from
any more Hisses there. The great
trouble in the state goes to the
farm people for so few of its em
ployees, in comparison with agri
culture.
A Fair Trade
We could do worse than swap
the main body of USDA person
nel for that of USSD in the way
of drastic reformation. Of course
government farm services would
suffer seriously for a time, but
think of the value of the im
mediate vast improvement in
our foreign relations that would
ensue. And the state department
boys would all unquestionably
be improved by a period of life
in the farming centers.
I should be in congress with
my bright ideas. But this one I
really like.
The Grange is just the organ
ization to put this proposition
over and make it work. The
Grange has to do not only with
farm economics and political is
sues but with the spirit of the
land and its crops.
As a lodge the Grange reaches
back into the most ancient times
of soil cultivation and harvests,
seeking to bring alive a commun
ion of husbandry through the
ages and in all lands and climes.
In a practical sense, the Grange
keeps it members fully in
formed on the workings of its
government, particularly in the
U. S. department of agriculture.
Should the fair trade I sug
gest be made, we could depend
on the patriotic and knowing

Convention Speaking
My chores at the convention
were to recite some Paul Bunyan
fables at a salmon bake and to
make a sober-sided talk between
degrees at an evening session.
The last needed to be worked up
carefully in writing and then
read with due care for facts and
figures in delivery. The like is
always a mean job and it lways
ends with a wonder as to its
worth, either to audience or
speaker.
There must be something to
it, however, for convention or
ganizers continue to Invite
speakers and speakers continue
to accept and to expend much
time and labor on preparation.
What I set forth to demon
strate was that the nation-wide
advertising and promotion of the
West Coast Lumbermen's asso
ciation and other forest industry
groups does hold and develop
lumber trade in highly compe
titive markets and tiiat this de
velopment serves farm and other
small owners of commercial tim
ber just as it does the large in
dustrial owners. The fact is in
escapable. Best of all for a
speaker, it makes a whale of a
good story.
Grangers John and Jim said
I did all right on it, ana I came
home all pleased up. It was a
day and evening of inspiring as
sociations. Let me tell you. if
you feel your faith in the United
States of America slipping any,
just hunt up a bunch of Grangers
and horn into their comnnny for
a spell. Will it give you a lift!

Tennis Play
Wimbledon, Eng., July 3 (U.R)
Five of the eight players com
peting in men's singles quarter
finals of the Wimbledon tennis
tournament today were Amer
icans,, but the picture was ex
pected to change radically by
nightfall.
Only one of those five Yanks
second-seeded Billy Talbert of
New York was favored to ad
vance to the semi-final round.
And to move up, Talbert
would have to eliminate a fel
low -American, fifth-seeded
Budge Patty of Los Angeles.
That was the only spot in the
semi-finals that the Yanks, more
powerful in other years, were
sure to get this time.
Sixth-seeded Gardnar Mulloy
of Coral Gables, Fla., was given
some chance of scoring an upset
in his match against Jaroslav
Drobny, the exiled Czech now
playing for Egypt.

Pilots Not
Job Secure
New York, July 3 iU.R) The
axe hangs higher than ever to
day over the uneasy heads of the
major league managers and, at
season's end, there may be a rec
ord number of pilots without
portfolio.
Already this season two have
fallen, with Red Corridcn nam
ed to succeed Jack Onslow as
bench boss of the White Sox and
Steve O'Neil picking up the Red
Sox reins dropped by Joe McCarthy.
You can bet all the orange :
Pekoe in Cathay that those two
cases aren't the end of the 1
shakeups. No less than seven
other managers are walking a
precarious plank and two others
are on the doubtful list as of the
moment.
Only five men are apparently
certain to retain their spots
Leo Durocher of the Giants,
Frankie Frisch of the Cubs,
Bucky Harris of the Senators,
Billy Southworth of the Braves
and Eddie Sawyer of the Phil
lies. Which means that the props
are trembling under such as Con
nie Mack, Billy Meyer, Casey
Stengel, Red Rolfe, Burt Shot
ton, Zach Taylor and Luke
Sewell. Shakily secure are Lou
Boudreau of the Indians and Ed
die Dyer of the Cardinals.
