land owners, labor unions and
business firms of the area. The
land is bare now, but on May 29
the tract will be transformed
within a 24-hour period into an
irrigated, plowed, planted and
"operating farm.
There'll be a $15,000 house, a
barn, outbuildings and fences.
The house will be fully furnish

stock, farm supplies, imple
ments, chickens and other equip
ment will go with it. Even a dog
and cat will be part of the
bargain.
Feels Guilty
"I doubt if we could have
earned it in 10 years. There are
more deserving men, and I feel
a little guilty about it all," Dunn
said modestly. But naturally I'm
thrilled. It's a big future. Yessir,
that's for sure."
The ready-to-operale farm
enterprise will be turned over to
Dunn, his wife and two daugh

Former Medford Man
Dies in Virginia
Word has been received here
by friends of the recent death of
Lawrence T. Nygaard, former
well known Medford man who
has resided for the past year in
Arlington, Va. Mr. Nygaard
passed away suddenly while on
a business trip in Kentucky. He
is survived by his wife, a daugh
ter, Mrs. Robert C. Duke, and
grandson, Larry, all of Ar
lington. For 13 years Mr. Nygaard liv
ed in Medford, and prior to
his ownership and management
of the Rogue Restaurant on Cen
tral avenue he was district sales
manager for Standard Oil com
pany in this area. He was a
member of various Masonic or
ders and Hillah Shrine temple,
and affiliated with several fra
ternal organizations while re
siding in this city.
for new factories and equipment
this year.
But the businesses planning
the biggest expansion programs
are defense industries. The de
fense program is the mainstay
of the present high level of
business activity. Non-defense
business is slumping a little.
Program Keeping Up
In his final report, ex-Defense
Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson
said the defense program Is
keeping up with its slowed-down
schedule and that delivery of
war goods totalling 54.000,000,
000 a month Is "in sight."
Industries which manufac
ture goods for the general pub
lic are planning relatively small
expansion this year, in many
cases less than last year.
Lest Public Buying
A new survey of consumer
plans for spending and saving
shows the public does not in
tend to buy as much as industry
could produce in the way of new
cars, refrigerators, radios and
other big items.
Personal income is expected
to set new records later in 1952,
however, and consumer spend
ing has climbed a little while
saving has dropped off. But con
sumers told Federal Reserve
Board poll-takers they still plan
to salt away almost 10 per cent
of what is left over after taxes
are paid, as they did in the last
three quarters of 1951. Some of
ficials' even predict a small in
crease In this high rate of saving.
Film Actress Sheds
Former Football Star
Hollywood (U.R) Film ac

three-months of married life
with football star Glenn Davis
on testimony that he called her
Hollywood friends "a bunch of
frauds."
The 23-year-old actress won a
divorce from Davis, 27, Monday
after she testified that the for
mer West Point AU-American
whom she married Feb. 9, 1951,
kept her in a "constant state of
turmoil."
They separated three months
after the ceremony. 1
