.- Conger - Morris funeral home
was originally established in
1888 by John Weeks, who serv
ed the community as an under
taker, first at Phoenix. Shortly
before his death in . 1902, Mr.
Weeks opened a furniture store
and . undertaking : business on
Front st., near Eighth, in Med
ford. His youngest son, .Fred,
moved to Medford to help him
and shortly thereafter they built
a two-story, frame building on
the present site of Weeks and
Orr Furniture store. .
In 1900 this building was sold
and moved away, and the pres
ent' building was erected.: From
1906 until 1920, Bert Orr and
the late W. H. McGowan be
came business associates of Fred
Weeks in the funeral business. '
In 1920 this funeral business
was . purchased by H. W. " Con
ger, who passed away in 1949,
and Mabel C. Conger. They
moved to the ground floor of
the IOOF hall on Sixth st. and;
in 1928 they built the present
funeral home at Sixth and West
Main sts. ' : : 'v
Personnel and equipment will

Reserve Service
by Officer
Young men wishing to choose
the Navy for their military ser
vice' were. advised today to en
list in a reserve unit before new
legislation affecting the reserve
program is enacted,
J. Rodney Keating, Jackson
county: judge Awho is also com
manding officer of the Naval
reserve electronics division 13-5,
pointed out that it is expected
such new legislation will- severe
ly limit or stop recruiting into
the Naval reserve. -
. "It appears that if the men
in the 17 to 18 Vi-yeax-old brack
et want the Navy as the service
of their choice when they go on
active duty, they had better en
list in the Naval reserve and
join a drilling' unit, either for
pay or non-pay, before this pro
posed legislation ,; is 7" enacted,
Commander Keating said.
Information on .the Navy re
serve program is available from
E. V. Tate, radioman first lass,
at the Federal building, 33
North Riverside' ave:, on week
days, or at the Medford post of
fice on Saturdays. Telephone
numbers are 2-2568 and 2-4060.

As We Live
MOTHER-IN-LAW LISTENS
IN ON TELEPHONE TALKS
Sharing a house , with in-laws
can cause a lot of trouble. The
best way to put an end to fins is
to move away.
. ' (Q) "Wo lira on tha socond
-floor of a houso my husband's .
parania own. Wo nave our own -
aparimant but our phono is
' tha tuna as thairs. My mothar-
in-law always answers tha
"phono as soon as it rings. If it ,
is for mo sho doasn't hang up
.whan sho hoars , mo on tha
lina, but listen whila I talk.
Br ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D.
This Infuriates ma. Also, when
ever I go out of tha house, Z
aaa her coming io lha window
to watch where, I am going, t
don't think it is any of her
affair. If eel as if I were being
. spied on. My husband ' Hkes
Hying in the same house as his
folks; he likes to go down-
'stairs to see them in the eve
nings. We have no children
and could live anywhere we
wanted.. I -think his parents
' count' on the rent we pay them,
', but I tell my husband . they
could rent ; Iho apartment, to
someone else. How ean X eon'
vince him that I am not happy
as things are now?":
(A) From what you have said
I infer that your husband is some-
m iuing - oi a
who would
never believe
you if you
suggested that
his . mother
"spies" on you.
Therefore you
would have to
:have a better
argument than
that to per
suade him to move.
' . So far as you are concerned,
it is essential to get away. .Of
course your mother-in-law should
t . .Tk -i
Dr. Hurlock
not listen In -on your telephone
conversations. Most people would
not stoop to such a thing.
It-may be just idle curiosity
that makes her look out of the
window every time you leave
the house, but at the same time
it is bound to be annoying to a
grown woman. . ; :
Couldn't ypu persuade your
husbaad that you want to have a
small house in the . country 60
you can have a garden? Or think
up some other good reason, for
wanting to move far enough
away from your in-laws that they
will not interfere in your life.
