Oreeorr Marcelle Bryant, deputy Diseases Which Once Were Bad Health Problems Almost Gone Several communicable dis eases which posed a major prob lem for health department offi cials 15 or 20 years ago were almost non-existent in Jackson county last year, according to Dr. A. E. Merkel, county health officer. m For the second straight year, not a single case of diphtheria was reported in Jackson county during 1954. Only one case of typhoid fever, which was a big problem in the county about 15 or 20 years ago,- was reported during 1954, and that one came from outside Jackson county. No Smallpox Jackson county hasn't had a case of smallpox for approxi mately 15 years, Dr. Merkel said. In general, the county's health picture was good during 1954, Tokyo in Need of More Hotel Rooms To Care for Tourists Tokyo U.R) Dollar hungry Japan, looking forward to its biggest postwar tourist year in 1955, needs 1500 reasonably priced but comfortable hotel rooms, quick. The government hopes to solve the problem, in Tokyo at least, by speeding the evacuation of downtown hotels and apartment houses still occupied by U.S. military forces before the cherry blossom season in May. But foreign businesmen and Medford Lumber Firm Fights Effort Tax Collection The Oregon Journal has report ed that the Best Lumber com pany of Medford is fighting an effort by the federal govern ment to collect $7,417 in corpor ate incomes taxes for the fiscal year ending last March 31. In a story from the Journal's Washington, D.C., bureau, the paper said the company, in a pe tition filed with the tax court of the United States, protests against the refusal of the inter nal revenue service to permit tax deductions for claimed losses dating back to early 1950. Slock Transferred The difference in figuring the taxes owned by the company goes back to the time when Gor don Dolan, then company presi dent, transferred 500 shares of the corporation's total 1000 shares of stock to Hugh B. Col lins, now president, and Paul W. Haviland. Collins and Haviland have managed the company since 1950. ' The internal revenue service refused to allow the company to charge off a loss of $9,698 on its sale of planing mill equipment in early 19i0 and $11,933 on the sale of logging equipment in April, 1950. Both sales were made to Dolan. The tax agency contends that Dolan then, owned more than half of the company stock and thus that the sale of the equipment to him not constitute a deductible loss,, un der terms of the internal reve nue code. Counter Claims But the company claims that 500 of Dolan's 998 shares of stock already had been trans ferred to the other two men be fore the sales were made, and that he therefore could, not be considered to own or control more than half the stock at that time. , The petitioner acknowledges that the originals of the stock certificates were held by the First National Bank of Portland, as guarantees on company debts, at the time of the equipment sales. But it asserts that dupli cate certificates had been deliv ered to Collins on Feb. 10, 1950, in accordance with a contract signed prior to that date for transfer to the 500 shares. Thus the bank-held certificates did not reflect the true ownership the company claims. Best Lumber also protested to the tax court against the failure yjf the revenue service to permit a a.uaa loss claimed tor wind damages to the company planing mill around September, 1951. The roof was blown off and the building severely damaged, the company said. Nearly all of the wormwood in the United States is grown in southern Michigan near the city of Dowagiac.

" ' PURUGKER PIANO HOUSE 111 North Central , ' Phone 2-5702 as far as communicable diseases were concerned, according to the county health officer. The "usual childhood dis eases," nulmps, measles - and chickenpox, were about average. Scarlet fever, however, was up from 22 cases in 1953 to 149 last year. Part of this increase can be attributed to a change in tab ulating disease, under which other ailments are now includ ed with scarlet fever, the doctor said, but there also was an in crease in the number of cases of mild scarlet fever,. The number of cases of polio was about the same in 1954, when 13 cases were reported, as it was in 1953, whentthe total was 15. The same was true of tuberculosis. Fifteen cases of TB were reported in Jackson coun ty last year, against 16 in 1953. travel industry representatives say this stop-gap measure won't be enough to make Tokyo a place where tourists will stay long and spend lots of dollars. They say dissatisfaction with hotel accommodations in Japan has kept thousands of visitors away. Too Expensive The average good hotel room in Tokyo costs $12 to $16 per night. . . Foreigners complain that for that money the furnishings and service are not comparable to an American hotel and vastly in ferior to accommodations for the price in Europe and South America. Several projects by f preign companies and ( syndicates to build first class western hotels in Tokyo have been dropped be cause or resistance by both the Japanese government and the hotel owners association to for eign investment in or control of hotels. Many American businessmen here believe that despite offi cial claims to the contrary, the Japanese government does . not welcome foreign capital, no mat ter how productive or lucrative for Japan the investment proj ect might be. Rejected Plans "If better hotels are to be built here, Japanese capital will build them and the Japanese will operate them," a prominent American businessman said. The government rejected his offer to invest $2,000,000 in a fine, small hotel, withdrawing only interest and capital over 10 years and taking profits in yen. . A Pan American Airways plan to build a large hotel in down town Tokyo, on a joint owner ship basis with Japanese inter ests, has stalled, a spokesman for the airline said. In this case the. estimated cost totalled more than $10,000,000 and Pan Amer ican was willing to put up oniy about $2,000,000. Another recent proposal by the U.S. motion picture export association, represented by Eric Johnston, to invest blocked yen from movie royalties in dollar earning housing for the U.S. de fense forces here was not even given serious consiaerauun the Japanese government, Court Records w,r-T irf rftTTBT Robert Drake, parked on wrong Kav Eldon Upchurch. violation cf basic rule, $10.

' RENT A New PIANO or ORGAN A sharp decline was noted in the number of cases of whoop ing cough. Only 18 cases were listed for the county during 1954, while the 1953 total was 99 cases. Infectious hepatitis, which has been giving increased concern to county health . officials, in- creased from 43 cases in 1953 to 73 last year. But - Dr. Merkel saw hope in the fact that the increase was no larger. May Improve in '55 Approximately half of the 73 cases occurred during the first three months of 1954, he said. The fact that the other half was distributed through the last nine months of the year gives hope that the disease will not be as prevalent in 1955, Dr. Merkel stated. Last year's increase of 30 over the previous year in the number of cases of infectious hepatitis was not as great as had been an ticipated. However, the increase in the number of cases in the last three years has been sur prising. Only three cases were reported in 1952, with 43 cases in 1953, and 73 cases last year.
