A representative from Safeway

AssMjimant Favorad
Thft local dairyman's group

Grover Steele, a Safeway rep

the initiative measure but de

copies of the present and pro

The proposal would actually

claimed,., because production

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.

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.

HAVING ONE'S HOBBY
WARDS OFF OLD AGE
Have you a hobby? 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

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

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. '
