TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBCNE Tueidar, Jun. 24. 1932 Author of Defense Book Leaves After Visit Here Sylvian G. Kindall, retired army officer and author of a new book, "Total Atomic De fense" has left for California after having visited his sister. Mrs. J. R. Williams. Medford. and other relatives in the coun ty. Colonel Kindall will return Thursday for another brief stay and then will go to Washington to visit other relatives. Colonel Kindall has said that his purpose in writing the book is solely to, warn residents of America to the possibilities of what can happen if another world war occurs. Of the book the editors wrote, "This book grimly warns that air-raid shel ters, corps of volunteer fire fighters and stretcher bearers and other measures of TNT bomb defense borrowed from London will be woefully inade quate to cops with the savagery of the atomic bomb a missile more powerful than all the thou sands of TN'T bombs dropped upon London during World War II." Th.m. of Book Theme of the colonel's book is his belief that this country should prepare for atomic war fare by removing strategic plants and factories from the heart of large cities and re-settling them on the perimeters of the cities. The former officer says there are 837 cities in the United States with more than 13.000 population, and he has computed how much it would cost to remove "target plants" and put them elsewhere. Med ford, Ore., is included in the list he publishes.

Life story of the Reed's telephone Over the years, they've found their service extremely high in value -unusually low in cost When a routine test spotted possible trouble on the Reed's telephone, one of our repairmen promptly stopped by to make sure they'd continue to have their usual dependable service.

How thrilled they were to hear familiar voices across many miles. It was a great moment, too, when Mr. Keed called from his office to tell her of his first promo tion.
