FOURTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Tuesday. April 12, 19SS
C of C Committee
Votes Opposition
To Voting Change
A proposed constiutional
amendment now being consid
ered by the legislature (SJR23),
which would limit voting rights
in school bond elections to
property owners, was unani
mously opposed by vote of mem
bers of the legislative commit
tee of the Jackson County Cham
ber of Commerce.
The committee also:
Voted to write Sen. Philip
Lowry asking his help in getting
SB121 out of committee for ac
tion on the floor of the senate.
The bill would authorize the
public utilities commissioner to
set minimum rates for common
carriers, as well as maximum
rates.
Referred to the natural re
sources committee for further
study the proposal to build a
dam at Dinosaur National monu
ment. Oppose School Bill
Voted to oppose SB403, which
proposed equalization of support
for schQol districts within coun
ties. The committee opposed the
measure because of what was
described a poorly drawn detail
in the bill, and the belief that
all school administrations are
not provided for.
Unanimously favored SB291,
which opposed the reorganiza
tion of the Oregon State bar,
and would clarify its position
as being under the judicial
branch of the-state government.
Unanimously favored SB346,
which would allow the secretary
of state to enter into reciprocal
agreements with other states re
garding certain types of motor
vehicle registrations.
Planning Commission Asks
That Lane Expert Visit To
Talk Annexation, Land Use
The city planning commis
sion last night authorized City
Manager Robert Duff to invite
Howard Buford, executive secre
tary of the Lane county planning
commission, to meet with the
local commission to discuss an
nexation and possibilities of em
ploying a planning engineer.
The professional engineer, if
employed, would study annexa
tion and make recommendations
to the city council for land use
zoning in the annexed areas.
Rezoning Advised
The commission also recom
mended the council rezone a sec
tion along Clark st. from multi
ple family to heaw industrial
use, after U. K. Smith. 1005
North Central ave., withdrew
his objections to the proposal.
Smith said he did not under
stand just what the rezoning
proposal included. The commis
sion pointed out to Smith the
change would not affect property
east of the railroad tracks.
The commission declined to
recommend that property owned
by Alton Hart and Thomas Mc
Fadden on Black Oak drive be
annexed, after discussing ad
verse sanitary sewer conditions
in the area . Commissioners
pointed out the area is one
planned for annexation in the
near future.
Final approval was given a
subdivision block extension in
the Siskiyou Heights addition,
and tentative approval was given
plats of Adams subdivision and
Country Club Manor. Tentative
approval of Cincinnati subdi
vision for Tom Jackson and a
plat of Ben's Acres subdivision
were tabled for future consider
ation. The commission denied re
quests by J. J. Osenbrugge to re
zone the northeast corner of East
Main and Genesse sts., and Wil
liam Aulick to rezone Hamilton
st. between Dakota and Withing
ton sts. Aulick requested a
change from single family to
multiple family, but the commis
sion considered that rezoning the
area would tje spot zoning.
Social Security Office Here
Points Out Change in Farm
Tax Reporting Procedures
An important change in the
social security tax law of imme

tors who have paid wages cov

according to the Msdford Social
Security office. Its report fol

Industry Development
Based on Mining Seen
Possible by Speaker
F. I. Bristol, head of the Bris
tol Silica company, Rogue River,
and one of Oregon's leading
mining experts, spoke at the
roundtable of the Jackson Coun
ty Chamber of Commerce yes
terday noon.
Bristol voiced considerable
optimism regarding the possi
bility of the development of new
basic industries in this area,
b?sed on the mineral resources
of Jackson and Josephine coun
ties. The situation with regard , to
many metals has changed in re
cent years, he pointed out. Be
fore the war the costs'of mining
and shipping such ores as
chrome and manganese would
not justify their development,
he said, but with today's prices
so much higher than prewar, the
costs may be justified.
Glass Manufacture
He also said that the use of
domestic silica for making glass
is uneconomic at present, but
future developments may make
it feasible. Production of glass
in this area would not be practi
cal, he said, because of the loss
in shipping. But partly - proces
sed minerals could be successful
ly shipped to some point such
as Portland for glass manufac
ture, he added.
One of the drawbacks in pros
pecting for the newly-valuable
metals is the lack of the old-
time prospectors, Bristol declar
er. A whole generation of one-
. time gold miners is now gone,
due to the shut-down in gold
mining during the war. These
were the men, he said, who
knew the hills, and ofien
brought in all types of ores, such
as chrome, managnese, iiickel
and copper, which because they
wtre low-grade were of no value
then, but might be now: No rec
ords of these deposits were kept,
he pointed out.
Advises on Uranium
' Bristol told of the surge of
uranium prospecting, and the
large number of geiger counters
and scintillators now being sold.
He too is interested in uranium,
he said, but he advised those in
his audience who might liko to
do some prospecting to grub
stake an experienced miner or
prospector. '"I doubt if any ,of
you would be willing to walk
20 miles per day in the hills,"
he declared, and said the pro
fessionals are more familiar with
the country and would have a
better chance of finding depos
its. As for the chance of finding
uranium. Bristol said last fall
he would have estimated the
chances at 1000 to lBut these
odds have now been modified by
the number of people hunting
uranium, he said. Also, in the
past, it would take hours to pan
A BIT DELAYED
Madison, Wis. ;U.R) Mrs. Vir
ginia Ahrens lost a wallet con
taining S2 and some private pa
pers while shopping at nearby
Sauk City eight years ago. She
received a package in the mail
recently containing the wallet,
the $2 and the papers.
There is about twice as much
nickel in the earth's crust as
copper, zinc and lead combined.
a few hundred yards of creek in
search of placer gold deposits.
With today's prospecting tools
and methods, he stated, prospec
tors can cover 100 times the area
they could then.
He said that the area back of
Mt. Ashland is probably one of
the uranium potential areas, and
he also said that west of Oregon
mountain there are numerous
nickel deposits which may be
developed along the same lines
as Nickel mountain in Douglas
county.
longer use Form 941 to make
quarterly social security reports
on their employees. In fact many
farmers now will make just one
social security report each year
on their employees.
It works like this: (1) A, farm
er should not make a social
security report in April unless
he owes S100 or more in social
security taxes on farm wages
paid in the first calendar quarter
of this year. (Since the total tax
rate is 4 per cent, a farmer will
not owe $100 until he has paid
52,500 in wages covered by so
cial security.) (2) If his liability
for this tax has not reached $100
or more by the end of June, h&
still would not make a report.
The same is true if he does not
owe $100 by the end of Septem
ber that is, still no report to
make. (3) In January cf 1956 he
would make a report covering
all of 1955 using a Form No. 943
instead of the old 941. (Each
farm employee paid $100 or
more in cash wages during the
year is covered by social secur
ity.) This change, applies to farm
employers only. Non-farm em
ployers should continue making
quarterly reports.
Some farm operators will also
Tax Evasion
Verdict Reversed
San Francisco (U.R) A fed
eral circuit court has reversed
the income tax evasion convic
tion of Bernard Bloch, 37-year-old
Phoenix, Ariz., physician,
and condemned his prosecution
as "foreign to our system."
The three circuit judges agreed
unanimously yesterday that the
trial judge erred in instructing
the jury when Blach was con
victed in 1953 of evading $1039
in. income taxes.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Rob
ert Murless's examination of
Bloch was also strongly criti
ciezd by the court.
"It is appropriate to express
our disapproval of the tactics
employed by the government at
torney," the opinion said. "The
practice of attempting to convict
a defendant of a crime, not of
which he was charged but
rather of being an all around,
no good dissolute person is for
eign to our system and is dis
approved by this court."
The court noted that the
prosecution had violated Bloch's
rights by attempting to question
him about alleged illicit rela
tions with women not connected
with the tax evasion.
Bloch also has an appeal be
fore the same court on his con
viction for violation of federal
narcotics laws for illegal sale
of morphine and derivatives.

A farmer will make a quarterly
social' security report if he has
paid out $2,500 or more in wages
covered by social security by the
end of any of the first three cal
endar quarters of the year. The

$2,500 in wages would of course
be $100. '
Any farm operator who wants
an instruction circular on these
reporting procedures should
write to the District Director of
Internal Revenue in Portland.
Ask for circular AG. If you ex

Agriculture Department To Cease Tips
To Homemakers on Clothes, Appliances
Washington (U.R) The
Agriculture Department said to
day it is going to stop putting
out tips to homemakers on such
things as clothes and household
appliances.
From now on, the depart
ment's research sen-ice is going
to concentrate on ways to im
prove America's diet.
"There is no thought of dis
continuing research in home
making altogether," said the
service's director, Byron T.
Shaw. "But I believe it is more
important to do research on
w'hat the human body needs and
what foods we eat."
Shaw said dropping the tips
on clothes and appliances will
save taxpayers $146,000. He said
all of this will be switched be
fore July to research and the is
suance of pamphlets on "Human
Nutritional Requirements" and
"Nutritional Requirements of
Foods We Eat."
Some Discards
Among the things being dis
carded are pamphlets and tests
on refrigerators, stoves, washing
machines, dryers, home freezers,
and clothes. Also a publication
entitled "Tools For Food Prepa
ration and Dishwashing."
This pamphlet became famous
during the 1952 political cam
paign when President Eisenhow
er, then a candidate, called it a
"symbol of shameful wasting of
tax funds."
After Mr. Eisenhower became
He did not close the door on
reissuance of all bulletins in
which research has stopped. For
example, he said a pamphlet on
"Stain Removal From Fabrics"
will be revised, brought up to
date, and re-issued because of
demand. .
Shaw also said pamphlets may
be re-issued in some cases where
research has been stopped if
Home freezers, their selection
and use; Cotton shirts for men
and boys; Coai making at home;
ABC's of mending; carpet and
rug repair; Fitting dresses; Pat
tern alteration.
President, the department re-!.lhere continues to be a strong
printed 15,000 copies. Shaw said
this was routine since the supply
had run out.
"There was a bit of hysteria
in the department when the re
print was made,-' he said. "I
talked to some of my superiors
about it, but no one ordered me
to discontinue it. I doubt if the
White House ever got into the
matter."
He said pamphlets on selec
tion, care, and use of clothing
would be discontinuel "because
I question how much people are
guided by our bulletins on how
to buy a man's suit, a boy's
shirt, or a woman's dress."

20 more turkey in turkey pies too!
$ No doubt you've enjoyed Chet's original coun
try chicken pies and turkey pies . . . lots of real
eatin' meat; the smooth creamy gravy; the flaky,
home-kitchen crust . . . and such flavor! Mighty
good. But just taste them now, with 20 more
meat added! Tonight-show the men in your life ,
how really good chicken pie or turkey pie can be.
Chet's, that is.

Real Country Cookin'
HOWDY...
Up here in the Northwest, our
neighbors raise some of tha
plumpest, finest chickens and tur
keys you ever laid eyes on soma
of the best birds in the U. S.
Guess that's why folks around
here sort of specialize in making
good things to eat from chicken
and turkey; real country pies for
instance. You know the kind-full
of real eatin meat, smooth, rich
gravy, and topped with a tender,
flaky crust that browns up so nice
in the oven.
Years ago. we started making and
packing Chet's frozen pies, using
only the best birds and our old
fashioned country recipe. And
this Spring, they're even better
because we've started adding 20 .
more meat, which we plan to do
from now on.
Speaking of good eatin. have you
tried some of our other Chet's
specialties? Rich, meaty beef pie
for instance. Or our delightful
fruit pies, made with extra help
ings of our famous local fruits;
boysenberries, cherries and crisp
Northwest apples. And, we've got
some brand new things coming
along.
But with it all. we're still a rela
tively small operation, and wo
want to keep it that way. Because
that's the only way we can bring
you the finest quality foods;
made, cooked and packed in
small batches. And what's more,
prepared in our big kitchen by
neighbor housewives, under ray
personal supervision.
Here's an idea. Next time you're
out marketing, load your cart up
with a good supply of Chet's
frozen foods. They're mighty
handv to have and as for quality,
there's none I've sampled that can
touch Vm, at any price, anywhere-
You be the judge.
