i K Producers League Votes To Assess Members fosAid Control Law Fight x After thrashing out the prob- It would provide more protec- .em .oi .mUK control laws xor Si ore than, three hours Friday night in a special meeting call ed by., the -Jackson county Milk Producers : league, the group voted an - assessment against league members to help finance the-battle -to retain the present law. rvTh-Affiliated Milk commit tee -tacked by Safeway Stores, Is sponsoring an initiative mea sure .'that would maintain mini mum price-standards for produc ers but would remove the mini mum price mark for consumers, A representative from Safeway and a Canby dairyman defended the proposed new law. Several spoke- against It. AssMjimant Favorad Thft local dairyman's group had decided in an earlier meet ing to) make assessments to fight the pifopejed measure which will be vted on in November. Fri day they voted unanimously In favor i of the assessments. They expecjt to collect about $8,000 during the next four months to help piaintain the current milk contrdl law. Grover Steele, a Safeway rep resentative, spoke in favor of the initiative measure but de nied that it was sponsored only by his company. He passed out copies of the present and pro posed; laws to show the differ ence in the two. The proposal would actually benefit the milk producers, he claimed,., because production prices- - -would be maintained whilemarketing costs would be reduced - by competitive prices. Air Force Lists 4 Killed in Crash Langley Airforce Base, Va. fiJ.B The Air Force Saturday identified four men one of them, an Idahoan killed when a B-ZfT bomber crashed on Plum Tree Island bombing range in Chesapeake Bay Friday. Airman 3C Johnny Darell Walls; 19, a son of Mr. and Mrs. D. V: Walls, Coeur d'Alene, Ida., was listed among the dead. Others killed were: First Lt. Fayden Douglas Wat son, 35, ofDenison, Tex. 'Firrt "Lit. Charles Richard Prettyman; 27, Star City, Ind., .instructor pilot. First' Lt. Jack Alperrr, 27, of O'FalJon; 111., father of three childuen, aerial observer and bombardier. tion for the farmer by requiring the distributors to be bonded, according to Steele. Milk, he said, is one of this country's most confusing com modities. Because of a law set up 19 years ago Oregon is one of only 12 states to have set retail prices on milk, he added. Public Bald Confuted Arthur Ireland, of the Ore gon Milk and Products Com mittee said the proposed law is sponsored by Safeway alone and that It would wipe out the advances that have been made by Oregon dairymen since the depression. He declared the gen eral public is not opposed to the present law; rather it is con fused. He cited Safeway was the "big stumbling block to milk marketing acts in Oregon," and said this is because producers here get a larger part of the con sumer's dollar and the company is fearful other states may adopt similar laws. John Gale, producer distri butor from Canby, said the law proposed by the Affiliated Milk Committee, would return the milk industry to a state of free enterprise. Fixed consumer pric es, he claimed are the worst pos sible public relations. He said that retail stores should be per mitted to sell cheaper than, com panies that deliver because of the difference in marketing ex pense. Quotas Omitted Henry Hagg, of the Oregon Milk Products committee, claimed the farmers were "rob bed" blind during the period .of free enterprise in dairying." Quotas the heart of the in dustry, according to Hagg are omitted from the new bill. This fight over milk control laws will be beneficial to the dairying industry, Hagg thinks. "It will smoke out the Quislings and Benedict Arnolds." Edgar Grimes, chairman of the Oregon Farm Bureau fed eration's milk committee, favor ed the present law. He accused Safeway of false information in their advertising against the law and said that the state must pre vent "outside interests" from changing its laws. In a period ol rebuttal to the arguments of the opponents of the change, Steele said the group refused to look at the problem objectively. He charged that the meeting deteriorated into a smear campaign against Safe way Stores." Portland Boy Dies Following Mishap With Power Line Portland (U.R) One boy was burned to death and anoth er injured late Friday when a high tension power line sent a charge of electricity through their bodies. James Calvin Kennison, 10, son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Leon Kennison, Portland, died at Providence hospital of body burns received while climbing a metal pole. 37,000 Volts James and his two brothers, Charles Arthur, 9, and Donald Russell, 7, had climbed a pow er pole that supports lines of the Bellrose interurban trolley. One of the boys presumed by Sheriff's Deputies Earl John son and James Dlllard to have been James, touched the wire and sent a current of 57,000 volts through the tower. The three boys fell from the tower and James lay burning at its foot while the others ran home. Bystanders Coma to Aid Two ' bystanders, Joe F. Ac cuardi, and Lee Elmer Troutner. removed the boy's clothes to stop him from burning and call er the Arrow Heights Fire De partment. The department extinguish ed the blazing clothes and put out a grass fire started by the boy's body. Charles was treated for facial burns at Providence. His broth er, Donald, was uninjured. Soil District Plan Defeated by Voters A proposal to nearly quad ruple the size of the Sam Valley Beagle soil conservation district was defeated Friday in a spec ial election. The proposal called for inclu sion of the entire northwest cor ner of Jackson county (bounded by Trail creek and the Rogue river) in the district. A two thirds majority was required for approval. County Agent W. B. Tucker said 76 voters in the area favored inclusion and 49 voted against it. Thus the pro posal missed passage by only a few votes. This area cannot petition for membership in the soil conser vation district for at least a year Tucker, said. However smaller areas within the larger one can petition. Of 608 eligible voters, only 125 cast ballots. Comet' to Leave 'Flying Lights' Across Skies During This Week New York (U.R) There'll be flying light in the sky tonight and through next week but it won't be "saucers," the Hay den Plantetarium's astronomers said Saturday. Tfie speeding lights will come from the 'exhaust stream" of a comet that hasn't been around these parts itself since 1862. , The annual crop of perseid meteors our most dependable shower of "falling stars" was expected to start blazing irt the skies Saturday night and to con tinue through August 13. "It is likely that they may best be observed between mid night and dawn on the morning of August 12," Planetarium Chairman Robert R. Coles said. Lucky watchers - outside of cities where ground lights dim the skies may see as many as 40 or 50 meteors an hour. These "falling" or "shoot ing" stars show up every Aug ust as. the earth passes through the orbit of Swift's comet. The comet itself has a 120 year cycle, astronomers say, and should be visible from the earth again in 1982. Sunday, August 10, 1952 MEDFORD (OREGON )KAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN Unwitting Ex-Communist Assured He Can Remain in United States Wendeft, N. H. -(U.R) Karl Assari Latva choked up with gratitude Saturday after the Jus tice Department assured him that unless the FBI turns up new evidence against him he will not be deported for Unwit tingly joining the Communist Party 18 years ago. The 49-year-old loomfixer was described by his war veteran sons as "overwhelmed" by U. S. Attorney General James P. Mc Granery's promise to use his dis cretionary powers to prevent Latva from being deported to his native Finland. Latva was ordered to leave the country after admitting to a nat urallzation Investigator that he joined the Communist Party for four months in 1934 and paid 90 cents in dues. He said he thought he was joining a union that would help win a textile strike then in progress. "I don't think, in good con science, the American people would expect me to prosecute if these facts are borne out," Me Granery said in Washington Fri day night. A$ A0 LlVG ?

If not, you had better get one before it is too late. For as the years go on a hobby is much harder to develop. And a hobby keeps you from being lonely in old age. A hobby is any activity you enjoy but which is not work. In other words, it is an adult form of play, and it takes the place of the toys of childhood days. Some of the hobbies that adults find most satisfying are music, painting and drawing, gardening, shop work, needle work, fancy cooking, sports of all kinds (not as an active par ticipant only but also as a spec tator) and writing. The hobbies that give the greatest satisfac tion are. as a rule, activities which are constructive so the person can see the results of his efforts. You many wonder why.a per son should be working to make things when he spends most of his work hours doing just that. Why, in other words, shouldn't he just relax and amuse himself when he is not on the job in stead of working to make some thing he really doesn't need or could probably buy better? Facts About Hobbles Here are some facts about hobbies that show how impor tant they are and why every one should have one: 1. A hobby is fun because you can work at it when you feel like doing so and at your own pace. No one is pushing you, no one is criticizing you and no one is trying to outdo you, as happens in your job. That's why your hobby is more fun than your work. 2. Your hobby is your own and no one can take it away from you as they can your job. This is an especially comforting thought for those who are reach ing retirement age. Even when you are no longer welcome at vour desk or bench, you will still have your hobby to fall back on when time hangs heav ily on your hands. Develop While Young 3. Your hobby interest should be developed while you are still young. Otherwise learning it will be hard, as is true of all learning, and it won' mean much to you. LETTERS FROM READERS Carelessness: "Are some peo ple born careless or is It just a matter of bad training?" (A) People are not born care less nor are they victims of bad training. In other words, no per-i sonality trait is born in a per-j son nor is he trained to do j things in a way that will prove; to be bad later on. Carelessness I is almost always the result cf; lack of any kind of training in j orderliness and lack of desire i to be orderly. When a personi has never been subjected to ; training in orderliness in child-: hood and has never been sur rounded by , people who were ; orderly or who thought order-: Iiness was important, he is like ly to have little or no desire ic I be orderly. Embarrass Parents: "My leer.-' age daughter seems to take de light in embarrassing either her: father in public. She make; j uncomplimentary remarks to vt ! or is rude in front cf our friends. jHow can we stop this?" I (A) Make is clear to your, 1 daughter, that she hurts hersel.'; 'much more than she hurts you! when she embarrasses you in. public. When she was still , p. j little child, .people blamed youj for her rudeness, on ine ground? that you had not trained, her. Now they will blame her and ieel sorry lor you. When your daughter understands that her rudeness in public is reflecting badly on her, she may change her tactics. Changing Jobs: "When a man is married, I think he should stick to his job whether he likes it or not. My husband says I'm wrong but am I?" (A) Only if a man's change of jobs will bring real hardships to his family should he stick to a job he doesn't like. There is such a demand for workers of all types now that the chances are your husband will get an even better job if he changes. Urge him to look into the mat ter carefully before he takes an other job to be sure it has what he wants. It's bad to get the reputation of being a rolling stone.

Sheriff Reports Serious Accidents; Trail Man Injured Three serious auto accidents occurred Friday night and were reported Saturday by Sheriff Howard Gault. Eugene D. Erick- son, Trail, was injured in one accident and sent to Sacred Heart hospital by the Conger Morris ambulance. Erickson's car went out of control a mile north of Shady Cove and plunged over a 50 foot bank, Gault said. The car was upside down and demolished, ac cording to Gault. Erickson was alone in the car. Hospital attendants said to day that stitches were taken in Erickson's head. He was expect ed to be released Saturday. Damage estimated at $550 was done to a car driven by Igino Assali, Eagle Point, when it was hit from behind. Fred Spincer Crescent, Ore., was driver of a truck which crashed Into the car when Assali stopped for a red light at the intersection of Highway 99 and the Crater lake highway. Michael Heaverne, also of Crescent, and Spincer are in jail charged with being drunk on a public highway. Assali told sheriff's deputies he would sign a complaint against Spincer for drunken driving, Gault said, but he had not yet done so Saturday morning. Duane Boyd, 17, son of Mr and Mrs. B. C. Boyd, 1120 East 11th street, was driver of a car that overturned in a ditch at the intersection of Ross lane and Sage road and caught fire. Boyd said oncoming headlights blinded him. Neither he nor his 15-year-old passenger, Donald Rasmussen, were injured. Dickey Chairman Of GOP Committee Robert Dickey, president of the Jackson Co. Young Republi cans, has been announced as chairman of the labor and indus tries committee policy conven vention of the state federation of Young Republican clubs. The convention will draft pol icy resolutions to be submitted to the general convention in De cember. The policy convention will be September 13 and 14 at Prineville. Festival Footnotes With the beginning of the third series of performances, the Shakespearean festival cast is adjusting itself to the new rou tine of a run-through in tjtie af; ternoon in which the directors ask for speed and precision rather than volume and energy, and a performance for a good sized audience at night. ; The ever-present problem of dressing room space for tie men of the cast has been partly solv ed by the placing of a make-up table which can accommodate six or seven in the .jsutdoor "green room" of the festival theater. A wire has alio been hung between two trees-1 to pro vide space for minor changes in costume. f As many of the festival act resses' costumes fasten down the back, the girls often form a line, and each one fastens i or un fastens the dress in front of her, and a curtain girl or wardrobe mistress fastens the one at the end of the line. Carol and Janet Saltus, new comers to Ashland and the fes tival, who live on Madrone street above Susanne Homes hall, were surprised ! the other night while doing the dinner dishes to hear a familiar-sound ing song come floating up the hill. Gerald Gardner, of Sheri dan, Ore., who works in the dormitory kitchenj was lustily practicing the song" he sings a3 Lucius in "Julius Caesar" as he washed the cafeteria dishes. Glimpses of Oregon's Shakespearean Festival Dr. Margery Bailey of Stan ford university, Shakespearean teacher and academic advisor to the festival, Betty Wattenberger, who was seen last year as Isa bella in "Measure for Measure," and Myna Brunton Hughes, fes tival supporter, all of the Bay area, are in Ashland for fhe festival. They plan to remain until after the coast-to-coast broadcast on August 16. Miss Hughes has written festival re views in recent years. Mr. and Mrs. George Eck stein, of Beverly Hills, Calif., members of the company in years past, have also returned for a visit. They were guests of the Frank Fairweathers in Med ford, leaving Saturday. The Eck steins were among the most popular of the festival acjors in recent years, both with audi ences and fellow company members. Cast members often nickname the current plays, and "Julius Caesar" lends itself quite well to this practice. Among the com pany it is most often referred to as "Juiceless Squeezer." When asked what had hap pened to his gray kitten Kath arine, named for the character in "Henry V," Gerry LeGrand replied, with a doleful counten ance, that she must have desert ed him and eloped with Kir.g Henry. R.S. Recent visitors to' the festival have included Mr. and Mrs. James Sandoe and their three children, of Boulder, Colo. Mr. Sandoe, one of the festival's regular directors, is on academic leave this season. ' BURGLAR KEEPS COOL Dallas, Tex. (U.R) Everyone here was trying to beat the heat.
