TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE riday, July II, 1952. New Fire Truck For Gold Hill Due This Month: Gold Hill At the July meet ing of the city council held Mon day night at the city hall, a let ter was read from the American La France Company, stating that .delivery on the new 500 gallon pumper fire truck order ed by the city might be expect ed the latter part of July. Deliv ery had originally been expected in June. Three letters were read from the State Highway Department One stated that minutes of the hearing held in Gold Hill last October 6 on the re-routing of Highway 99 had now been ap proved by the highway commis sion. This was in response to two previous letters from the city council asking for a copy of the minutes' of the October hearing. The highway department also wrote that the resolution from the city council, asking that Ben Hur Lampman Park be made a state park and enlarged and improved, was being taken unf"f advisement by the com mission. Fund Plea Eyed ' The third stated that 'Gold Hill's application for a share of the special state street fid for use in maintaining streets under heavy industrial use was being considered. The council had ap plied for funds to fix up Fourth avenue and Seventh street in the vicinity of the planing mill. In discussing requiring prop erty owners to burn off vacant lots to keep down the fire haz ard, it was stated that the Vol unteer Fire department would stand by while lots were burned off, if property owners would contact Fire Chief Melford Hood in advance. Several councilmen and City Superintendent George Turner stated that dry grass in the al leys belonging to the city con stitute a greater fire hazard than exists from vacant lots, and that the council could not very well insist that property owners get BATTLE FOR TEXAS Monty Appel, at torney for the Taft faction in Texas, displays signs as' he testifies before the credentials com mittee in the bitterly-contested fight for.

Turner said that he could use the grader to scrape off the weeds and grass, if the council would authorize the hiring of labor to load and haul away the debris. The council authorized the superintendent to "do this. ' The council passed a resolu tion authorizing the ' Medford branch of the U. S. National to pay the interest due on city bonds. A motion was carried to hire an auditing firm to make an audit of the city books. It was stated that a property owner on Sixth avenue had vio lated the city building code by securing a permit to build a stor age shed and then equipping the shed with a stove and lights and using it as living quarters. The report stated that, the stove pipe was extended through a wall without any kind of flu or chimney,- causing a fire hazard. The council decided to give the prop erty owner ten days to comply with the city code, and then to inflict the penalties provided in the city ordinances if the order is not obeyed. Youths Sentenced In Larceny Case Monty Louis Riddell, 19, and an 18-year-old companion, both from Eagle Point, were sen tenced yesterday for petty lar ceny in district court by Judge Rawles Moore to six months in the county jail, plus $55 fines each, according to court records. The youths attempted to steal an air conditioning unit from the loading dock at Montgomery Ward, according to police, which was valued at $67.

Memberships for the 1952 sea son of the Oregon Shakesperean Frankfurt, Germany (U,R) Get out the hot dogs and bring on the mustard. The lowly frankfurter celebrates its 100th anniversary- this month. The elongated, pork- filled, se cretly - smoked product has made this city on the Main riv er more famous than any of its illustrious sons, including Maier Amschel Rothschild, who start ed his banking business 'here, and the poet-playwright Johann Wolfgang Goethe. Hans Wirth, red - faced, 300 pound owner of Frankfurt's biggest frankfurter factory and a student of frankfurter history, said the German butchers guild developed the glorious sausage in 1852 for the growing force of industrial workers. The.' butcher who hit on' the final shape was inspired by his dog,. a dachshund. Big Hit In Chicago The frankfurter's big jump to international fame came at the 1893 Chicago world's fair, where the imported model and its United States imitations were devoured by the thousands.

"Our best frankfurter skins used to come from Rus sian and Chinese lambs. We can't get them now but we are getting some from Persia." Suddenly turning sad Wirth deplored the pale, sometimes wrinkled U. S. wiener. "It can't even be compared," he said, shaking his head. "No flavor, no texture, no' snap." Wirth exports frankfurters to Africa, South America, Austral ia, Portugal and the United States. Formula Kept Secret , Frankfurter manufacturers keep their formula a secret. In addition to the Persian casings, Wirth would admit only that he uses nothing but finely ground pork, from electrically killed pigs and spices prepared by a trusted cook.

Asked if there was any chance that his competitors or he might slip in some horse meat to in crease the profits, Wirth drew up to his full 300 pounds. "Horsefurters . . . Never.
