Property owners within the district will share in the payment of a tax levy not to exceed four mills, unless a special election is held to sanction any excess (only four mills can be levied this year because of the time element set by law for submis sion of the district's budget which has been extended from July 15 to August 1 by the county assessor). The possibility of a mutual aid working agreement among other rural fire districts adjoining each other by actively assisting or standing by during a fire which would unify and strengthen each district's protection. Rating Scheduled The fire department officials also pointed out that an inves tigator for the Insurance bureau of Portland will be at Central Point next week to establish what classification the district would be if it is passed. Every voter in the proposed district is urged to turn out for the election in order that a rep resentative vote will be cast con cerning the district.

V. Durling (Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc.) When love brings Heartache or pans. Tears and such things. Love may go hang. If love can sigh For one alone. Well pleased am I To be that one. But should I see Love given to rove To two or three Then good-bye, love. Moore. July 24 is my birth date. That makes me a Leo. The stargazers say Leos don't like rain. That checks with me. I get the blues when it rains. Besides rain makes muddy tracks. LeOs are good executive material. All I know about that is I was cap tain of baseball and football teams in our neighborhood. Also at college. And every time I have worked in an office they have eventually made me an executive. But I don't like be ing an executive. Leos should marry Sagittarians, say the star gazers. I did. Everything is won derful so far. Leos don't like to stay in one place. That's me all over. I think I have lived in a thousand different places. Well, 900 anyhow. Leos hate work but will work hard rather than be dependent on anybody. That also checks with me. I despise work. Yet I have work ed hard all my life. Taking it all in all, though there may be nothing to astrology, the star gazers are batting pretty well in my case. Please Note On November 9, 1912, the Carlisle Indians defeated West Point on the football field by a score of 17-6. In this contest Jim Thorpe played one of the greatest games of his career. You may ask: Why bring this up at this time? Well, sir, in that game Dwight Eisenhower play ed left half back for the Army Passing By Gus Van. Veteran entertainer. Once of that great vaudeville team of Van and Schenck. It is still being said the members of this team met when they were working as motorman and conductor on a Brooklyn trolley line. Get it right. It is a fact Gus Van was once a motorman but Joe Schenck never was a conductor. Horses and Women Women featuring an unusual amount of "oomph" now suffer from a double suspicion. There is the belief they may be fea turing "g a y deceivers" or "falsies." Also the suspicion they may be using said "falsies" for smuggling or theft. All wo men in the "oomph girl" class are given special attention by customs officials and detectives. I suppose you heard about the young women distillery workers who featured so called "inflat able bras." It was found they were stealing liquor from the distillery by pouring it into the inflatable bras and so smuggling it out of the plant. Photogenic Was interested in noting a feminine celebrity complained to a news photographer that a photo he had taken of her made it appear that she had a double chin. The gentlemanly camera man said he was sorry but that he would show her how to hold her head when photographed so as to permit the achievement of the best results. That is some thing every woman should know. It is a tragic moment in the life of a woman when a pub lished photograph reveals her at her worst. You rarely see a news picture of an actress that doesn't bring out her best points. That's because actresses know just how to hold their heads when a cam era is pointed at them. Keep this in mind, lady. Consult a photo grapher at once for instructions how to quickly get into the pro per pose for a snapshot. Local Girl Enters Seaside Contest Miss Carol Wikstrom, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Wik strom, 1429 East Main street, will enter the Miss Oregon con test at Seaside July 25 to 27 as "Miss Medford," it was reported Saturday. Miss Wikstrom was contacted by the Seaside chamber of com merce in June and asked to par ticipate as Miss Medford. With Jorgensen's Dairy sponsoring her she will compete for the Miss Oregon title along with representatives from other Ore gon cities. The winner will trav el to Atlantic City to the Miss America contest. A sophomore at Southern Ore gon college this year, Miss Wik strom represented that school in the Oregon Journal's Beauty on Campus series this spring. Justice Douglas Plans Globe-Trotting Jaunt Portland (U.R) U. S. Su preme Court Justice William O Douglas has announced he is going globe-trotting again. Douglas, whose home is in Oregon, said he planned to trek 400 miles north from Singapore through the heavily-jungled Malaya peninsula. "I just got permission from the British government to make the trip," Douglas said. "I'm going just to get to know more about Asia." Sunday. July 20. 1S52 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN Two Jailed, Fined After Altercation Two Grants Pass men received jail sentences and fines in dis trict court Saturday as the re sult of an altercation early yesterday morning at a service station at 1050 South Riverside avenue.
