He is spending tha week as a staff member of The Mail ' Tribune. Other articles by him, on various aspects of America and his impressions of the country, will be pub lished this week.) By GUNTHER BARTH Sub-Editor, Rhelnesh Post Seven months ago I first saw the name Medford. I just had received the official letter from the American High Commis sioner in Germany announcing that I would have the chance to study one year at the Uni versity of Oregon. Nothing more. After a few minutes, which I spent doing nothing, I had the idea that it would be .neverthe less, rather worthwhile for me to know where this university is located. I looked for one of these numerous colored picture guides through the United States. Finally I found the West coast and when I passed the California Oregon border on my map I saw two lovely painted peaches sur rounded by some terrible look ing mountains. Some small let ters indicated that this place is usually called Medford. The two peaches couldn't be the University of Oregon. My finger passed the mountains and an area which was painted like a fairy tale forest with Christ mas trees. Later on came ink pot and pen marking Eugene and its university. 1 remembered my first con- FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS For Every Occasion POTTED PLANTS We Give StH G-een Stamps ROGUE VALLEY GREENHOUSE Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd H.

Scottte LA RC SPECIALISTS IN a WIST 4th STRUT - mail tribuhe tact quite well when I came down by bus on Sunday. The snowy road climbed up and down through the forests and when I was on the point of watching for the beautiful scenery and landscape around Medford I saw nothing else than fog covering the ground and rain running down the windows of the bus. Nevertheless, I took all the beauty for granted. Even the peo ple in Eugene had told me that the scenery around Medford is some of the most impressive in Oregon and ranks higher than Eugene. No rain can wash away such statements. Still in Oregon It still rained when I arrived at the downtown bus station. That was a fairly good situation to remember that Medford still belongs to Oregon even though close to the Californian border. In such a moment every town in the State looks fairly like the same. But the nearby rail road station made the first sig nificance in the monotony. It is located in the middle of the town, not like Germany. There is one thing I want es pecially to mention about Med ford: the charming informality oi it3 citizen. It is attracting and fascinating to see how it influences the daily life of the city. I am not referring how nice it works particularly in the news staff of The Mail Tribune. I think informality is more or less the essence of news paper work everywhere. But it is splendid if this informality goes so far that you feel it in such administration centers as County Court and City Hall, which are usually more con cerned with red tape formality. All Answer Questions You can speak to everybody you like without a long intro duction and everybody answers your questions. You are going down Main street and you meet somebody. He is well informed and interested about any subject you are going to talk with him. Even the mayor will have some minutes for you for a street talk. As a matter of fact I wish time would back.

Congratulatory telegrams from district officers of the association were read at the meeting. Win ston W. Carl was master of cere monies. Dinner music was pro vided by Mrs. Lymie Williamson on an organ. Program Chairman John Graff spoke on the variety of programs which have been pre sented during the year. Member ship has grown from 29 to 38. and the type of programs and interest shown is responsible for the increased membership, mem bers said. The meeting also was "presi dent's night," and President John Pletsch discussed the year's hap penings. The next year should be one of the most momentous for the chapter, he said, and predicted a great future. He said he is proud of the chapter for receiving national recognition in the "Office Executive" magazine. Mrs. John Pletsch cut the birthday cake, a gift from the Groceteria. Ellen N. Cox and Hugh Friel were in charge of dinner arrangements. The meet ing concluded with dancing and cards. Air Force Officer Visits Parents Here Charles Allen Sams, who was commissioned Saturday as a sec ond lieutenant in the Air Force at Reese Air Force Base, Lub bock, Tex., arrived here Monday to visit on a two-week leave with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Sams, 208 Vashti way. He received his basic training at the Greenville, Miss., Air Force base before his transfer to Lubbock. Before entering the service he was employed by the California Oregon Power company, and he attended Sduthern Oregon Col lege after his graduation in 1947 from Medford high school. From here Lieutenant Sams will leave for Connelly Air Force base at Waco, Tex., where he has been assigned as a B-25 copilot.

Later he is scheduled for training in the use Of F-94 all-weather inter cepter planes at Tyndle Air Force base, Fla. two peaches for the first time. I would still have the chance to make the interesting trip and to collect the wonderful experiences. r 'atfw. A eat Suez Canal Present's Big Problem Br PHIL NEWSOM CP. Foreign Newt Editor The Suez canal dispute is something like the weather everyone talks about it, but no one knows what to do about it A chief dif ficulty is the fact that the opponents 1 n the dispute ap proach it from entirely differ ent angles. To the British, the canal with its short cut be- Phil Kewsom tween East and West, is a mili tary problem. To the Egyptians, it is a political one, with national pride one of its strongest ingre dients. Three Egyptian governments have wrestled with the problem since the first of the year. The Wafdist government of former Premier Mustapha Nahas Pasha was dismissed after the bloody and costly Cairo riots of January 26. Next Government Dismissed Premier Aly Maher Pasha's government was dismissed one month later for reasons which still have not been explained. A third government led by Ahmed Naguib Al Hilaly Pasha now is struggling with the prob lem and has taken as one of its first objectives an election fight to knock out the Wafdist ma jority in the Egyptian chamber of deputies. Hilaly has his work cut out for him. The last elections gave the Wafdists a nearly two-thirds majority in the chamber of depu ties. Most Want British Out Since the beginning of the parliamentary system in Egypt in 1923, the Wafdists have been In and out of the government but always have been a party to be reckoned with. Most political parties in Egypt have an "out with the British" plank in their platform. The Wafdists have the added appeal that they claim to represent the wishes of the Egyptian masses. Hilaly will charge the Waf dists with corruption In govern ment, but they in turn will ac cuse him of planning to sell out to the British. And in that sense he will be on the defensive even before he starts his negotiations on Suez. Feelings Recognised The British on the other hand say they recognize the strong nationalist feeling driving the Egyptians, but that Suez affects the safety of the whole free world and therefore is above any nationalistic feelings of the Egyptians. The British also are committed against a second plank in the Egyptian platform which would link the Sudan with Egypt The .... .- , j Si 3SU r' - $s : .:: i ..r- . . r-' v -ViK 7 - ' 19V t-sry Dispute British say the Sundanese ques tian should be settled by an election.
