"Burro Derby Plans Revealed; Entries Being Accepted Jacksonville Competition for the Gold Rush Jubilee's un ique Burro derby rose to a "hot blood' pitch late last week with a challenge to all comers to en ter the derby delivered by the two of the Rogue river valley's prominent citizens, according to Jubilee Chairman P. E. (Scotty) Matheny. A. C. Van Galder and Mayor D. L. Fly'nn of Medford, co-owners of the outstanding burroess, Lizza Jane III, stated that little Lizza could "out run, out bray, or out kick any vintage of bur ro that the west could produce today." Both burro-conaoisseurs attest ed to the pioneer parentage of Lizza Jane, stating that she was from the historic line of Long John I, "known all over the west for the record he set on the pack trails from Yreka to Jack sonville during the 1850's." Entry List Open Race' Promoter Ed Rooney said that entry against Lizza Jane is now "wide, open" and urged application as soon as pos sible by all owners. Races will be held on both August 2 and 3, according to Rooney.

Americans in Israel Have Until Monday To Decide On Israeli Citizenship a Tel Aviv (U.R) The 3,000 or so American citizens residing in Israel have to decide before July 14 between U. S. or Israel na tionality. An American who does not re nounce Israeli citizenship before mid-July automatically becomes an Israel national. United States nationality laws do not permit a person to be a national of another state as well. Any American not disclaiming Is raeli citizenship before the dead line date loses his American citizenship. On July 14, the Israeli nation alitv law goes into effect. Al though the State of Israel is al ready four years old, there is no Israel citizen until the middle of July, According to the new law, every Jewish emmigrant to Is rael automatically acquires Is rael citizenship unless he prev iously renounces the right. Americans desiring to disclaim Israeli citizenship will turn in their applications at- one of 11 special offices throughout the country. The minister of interior then decides whether to recog nize the opting out and attend ant renunciation of Israel nationality. Americans Stand Fast Despite the Tropes of the au thorities here that few will take advantage of the opting out clause in the law, most Ameri cans will disclaim Israeli citizenship. American consular officials in Israel are instructing U. S. na tionals of Jewish descent to dis claim Israeli nationality and submit proof of their opting out. Otherwise, American authori ties here leave the full implica tions of the new law up to local practices. American residents of Israel disclainyng Israel na tionality still will be able to serve in-the army here (proving they take no oath of allegiance) without losing their American citizenship. Opting out forms will be attached to all -immigrant visas issued by Israeli con sulates abroad. A Jew renouncing Israeli na tionality who later changes his mind can not acquire automatic citizenship again but must be come naturalized. July 14 was fixed as the dead line becuse it marks the anni versary of the death of Theo dore, Herzl, founder of the idea of modern Israel as a political state. It also will mark the second anniversary of passage of the Law of Return assuring every Jew the right to enter Israel. Not to Be Stateless The nationality law and the law of return are calculated to eliminate the possibility of Jews being stateless. The chief contention in the parliamentary debate on the na tionality law . was the question of citizenship for non-Jewish Israeli residents. Israel's 175,000 non-Jews are greatly concerned with that as pect of the law. A non-Jew who was a citizen of Palestine until the day the State of Israel was proclaimed May 14, 1948 becomes an Is rael citizen if he fulfills three conditions. He must have been registered as a resident of the country by March 1, 1951. He also must be a resident of the country on July 14 of this year and he must prove that he has been living in Israeli territory since the establishment of the state. If he was not in the country at any time between May 14, 1948 and July 14, 1952, he has to show that he entered Israel legally The overwhelming majority of non-Jews that is Arabs now living in Israel were Pales tinian citizens. Almost all Israel Arabs. 168,000, can fulfill the conditions of registration residence. and ...UNTIL YOU GET THE FACTS ON CAR VALUE THE "SHOWDOWN" WAY Roots Motor Company 101 W.

The budget was previously passed by the city's voters, but due to a legal technicality was declared invalid. , The general fund total is $26,985, with $12,900 in expect ed receipts, leaving $14,085 to be raised by taxation for the fund. This figure, plus bond and interest retirement amounting to $4,000, adds up to $18,085, the total amount to be raised by tax ation for 1952-53. The reason for a levy over the constitutional limitations is that that the city has no tax base established for its general mu nicipal purposes. A public hearing on the bud get will be held Thursday, July 17, at 8 p.m., in the city hall. Lattie Frost and Laura Dungey will be election judges, while Pearl Ferguson and Fan nie Kies will be the clerks. CAT ADOPTS FOXES Camden, S. C.
