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.

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. I would like
to be sitting again in my home
town and see Medford and its

First Anniversary
Of NOMA Observed
By Chapter Monday
The first anniversary meeting
of the Medford chapter of the
National Office Management as
sociation was held in the Elks

ning.
Congratulatory telegrams from
district officers of the association
were read at the meeting. Win

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

interest shown is responsible for
the increased membership, mem
bers said.
The meeting also was "presi
dent's night," and President John

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.

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
