Smith, 16, both members of the Antelope 4-H club, were among
Jackson county exhibitors at the Grand National Junior Livestock
Exposition at the Cow Palace in San. Francisco last week. They
are shown in the cattle section of the Cow Palace between show
ings. Both were rated as qualified showmen, and young Woolfolk
finished among the top 15 in the expert showmanship competition.
COW PALACE SCENE Charles and Truman Elmore, brothers
who belong to the Applegate 4-H club, were also at the exposition.
Both showed angus cattle, but are pictured above with a hereford
steer which the photographer picked as more photogenic than
their own cattle. Charles Elmore was on a team of three 4-H"ers
which placed third in the livestock judging competition. Top indi
vidual honors were taken by another Jackson county boy, Bob
Fisher. .

Post Office Clerks
Said Opposing Bill
Now in Congress
Medford's post office clerks
are "greatly concerned'' that a
postal pay and job bill now pend
ing in the House of Representa
tives will "endanger their posi
tions and salaries," according to
Hamilton Ecker, secretary of
Local 342.
"H.R. 4644, now awaiting
House action, poses many ser
ious problems to all post office
employees, but its reclassifica
tion provisions will especially
harm the clerks," Ecker said. He
said the projected shakeup of
postal positions is "especially in
equitable and unfair" to the
postal clerks.
The reclassification scheme is
primarily aimed at splitting the
present clerk category and
would place "tremendous pow
ers" in the hands of post office
department officials about sal
ary grades for employees, ac
cording to the clerk's union offi
cial. The promotion features of the
bill are also ' distressing," he de
clared, "affording a bonanza of
opportunities for use of postal
and partisan politics. The bill
is being advertised as providing
'equal pay for equal work' and
'rewarding merit' but our study
of the measure reveals on!y, in
equities, discriminations and
large loopholes for . favoritism
and politics," he added.
"The local post office clerks,"
he said, "consider the measure
a very bad bill and apoarently
most members of the House of
Representatives agree with us,
for they defeated by 302 to 120
vote an attempt to ram it through
the House.,"
.Post office clerks here con
tinue to support S-l, a postal pay
measure which was recently
overwhelmingly approved by
the Senate, according to Ecker.
This measure provides for a 10
per cent wage increase and
leaves out "destructive reclassi
fication features."
"If Congress believes that re
classification is necessary, we
suggest that it follow the proce
dure outlined in the bill vetoed
by the President last year. That
is, establish a commission
made up of Senators, Congress
men, post office officials and em
ployee representatives to study
the problem," he said.
of directors of the association
will be at noon tomorrow at the
