This Year's Pear
Crop Under Half
That of Last Year
The 1954 Jackson county pear
crop was less than half the size
of the 1953 crop, Shelby Tuttle,
general manager of Southern
Oregon Sales, told members of
the Jackson County Chamber of
Commerce yesterday at a mem
bership rouhdtable luncheon at
the Jackson hotel.
This year's crop amounted to
only 43.5 per cent of the amount
produced last year, Tuttle said.
He pointed out that this decrease
meant a 45 per cent cut in the
pear industry payroll for 1954.
Chief cause of the drop in
pear production in this area for
1954 was the destructive freeze
which hit the Rogue valley the
night of April 30 and May 1.
Others Speak
Other speakers at the meeting
included Mayor D. L. Flynn and
Don McNeil, manager of the
chamber. They outlined progress
of planning for the proposed
Medf ord-KlamSth Falls highway.
Mrs: Bert Pree gave' a report on
the possibility of new industries
coming to Medf ord and vicinity.
Vic Milnes, chairman of the
chamber's membership commit
tee, conducted the meeting, the
first of its kind held here. Wal
ter Garner, chamber president,
expressed his approval of the
plan for the weekly meetings.

Former Seaman
Confesses Killing
Pennsylvania Child
' Johnstown, Pa. (U.PJ A for
mer merchant seaman with a
sex crime record admitted to
police today that he killed six-year-old
Karen Mauk, who was
abducted and suffocated as she
made a pre-Halloween "trick or
treat" tour near her home Thurs
day night.
Cambria county District At
torney Fred Fees said that Harry
Gossard, 39, had been booked on
a charge of suspicion of murder.
Body Found by Posse '
Karen's nude body was found
by a posse Friday morning on
the rain-swept hillside of a ceme
tery seveaal miles from her home
in nearby Conemaugh. The scat
tered pieces of here colorful
Halloween costume lay nearby
An autopsy disclosed she bad
not been criminally assaulted,
but indicated she was the victim
of a sex deviate.
Gossard was arrested Monday
in Philadelphia on a tip to police.
He had lived with his mother
in Conemaugh since returning
there last May.
Fees said Gossard has a rec
ord of five previous offenses,
including sex crimes.
Jobless Negro Confesses

haired Karen was one of three
sex crimes reported in Western
Pennsylvania last weekrst?i,i -j"
At Aliquippa, Pa., Elijah
Thompson Jr., 22, , a jobless

ed 16-year-old Helen Bryant by
crushing her skull with a rock
as she walked along a lonely
path near her home Oct. 25.

The Wood Boats ...
The finest of the Douglas firs
standing tall and true in the up
land forests were logged down
to provide keel timbers for the
hulls of minesweepers and sub
chasers in the big war. Lesser
grades of lumber made boats for
the island landings, from the
Aleutians to Rabaul. Common
boards with spike knots, pitch
pockets, stain and wane were
worked into mountains of box
and crating lumber to pack sup
plies ior the invasion. Construc
tion lumber was piled on the
beaches of blood and sand.
Kenneth Dodson's novel,
"Away All Boats," now in its
eleventh printing, is a powerful
story of the great Pacific battles
in which wood was an humble
servant of the fighting men who
brought home the victory. The
novel is a recital of the voyages
and adventures of an attack
transport, the Belinda, whose
main battery was not guns but
32 boats. That is, not steel but
timber.
"The entire mission of the
Belinda," Dodson's Captain Win-
throp Gedney says, "is to carry
a combat-loaded battalion land
ing team of some 1400 officers
and men, and to land them, to
gether with all necessary equip
ment, as it were in the laps of
the enemy."
The Navy Did Well ...
:."Away jUI, .Boats" is a. story
with innumerable points oi dis
tinction. Its statements of tech
nical and other factual items
are as convincing as the kick of
a mule. Their source is a per
sonal experience that earned
nine battle stars on a real attack
transport. ,
The good in garbage grinder,
seamen, petty officers, ensign,
chaplain, captain, admiral, is
made to shine forth from the
evils of war, which are simply
the evils of mankind itself. The
work of the Navy is their com
mon good, the salvation of all,
as Dodson shows it. ' .

Notice

Prospective
Irrigators
Talent Division, Rogue River Basin
Reclamation Project, Oregon
Persons having land not presently irrigated from Talent
Irrigation District's system, but which can be served by
the District from its laterals or extensions of laterals other
than the Fredrick and Upper West Laterals, are invited to
fill out the following questionnaire and mail to Talent
Irrigation District, Talent, Oregon, before November 15,
1954. If more space is required, please use additional

I endless labor of the military
chaplain is told. Chaplain
Hughes is no hero, no heel, no
dope, no miracle man in this
story. He is simply a Navy man
who works like hell.
And there you have it, the
fighting Navy that was a work
ing team all through the great
war.
"Away All Boats," is, in its
life blood and human spirit,
more a Navy product than a
literary creation. It is a book
to build faith in our nation's
Navy of today.
Kamikaze ...
As an adventure narrative it
is a work of art. The story's
movement is from battle to bat
tle. One climax carries on to
another with electric suspense.
The terror and tragedy of Kami
kaze, a force of attack, on our
ships that was vitally more dev
astating than we knew, surges
and thunders through the final
50 pages.
Auuovii a v x v A va vv-ovi. iiivv.
writing is faithful even in the
mort dramatic passages with the
realism of his technical knowl
edge. He tells of the terror of
fire and blast from the "divine
wind" that struck the Belinda,
in these terms:
" . . . a sputter and crackle of
improperly exploded flak as a
60-round cylinder of 20-mm am
munition fell into the flames
from the deck above and went
off like a string of firecrackers.
Somebody screamed with pain.
There were men moving in on
the fire, not waiting for a cap
tain's orders . . ."
That is how Dodson does it.
A fiery story-teller who never
forgets the facts.
