The law will per mit the formation of large sani tary authorities, and Harvey, who originated the idea for such an organization, said he feels it important that such an authority be formed. May Defeat Benefits But he also expressed the fear that some smaller areas may at tempt to solve their own prob lems themselves, thus largely defeating the overall benefits of a lareer district. The smaller areas, he said, are handicapped by the lack of proper financial capabilities which the larger dis trict would have. Harvey, who is engineer for several of the present districts, said that sanitary planning is now "a mess" as far as the val ley as a whole is concerned. A countv danning set-up, as now contemplated through the coop eration of the city and county governments, would go part way toward a solution, he said, but would not be enough. Representatives Speak During the directors meeting, State ReDS. E. H. Mann and E. A. Littrell spoke on the recent leg islative session. Mann termed it the hardest working session in which he had served, and one in which many important jobs were accomplished. Littrell described how some of the work of the -legislature was accomrjlished, and men tioned several of the important bills on which he worked, in rludins the Unemployment Com pensation measure signed by the governor this week. "Nobody likps the hill." Littrell said, "so it must be a good piece of legis lation." Corn is a three - way crop. It produces high quality feed, can be sold for cash income and is an important weed-control crop.

J m. mm On Memorial Day how better can we honor those who gave "the last full measure of devotion" than to place patriotism above self interest and pause in our com mercial activities to rededicate ourselves to the cause for which they gave their lives. Let us not be so indifferent as to hold the love of personal gain above love of country. Let us pause and rededicate ourselves to the cause for which these men died to keep America free a symbol to the world of the blessings of democracy. Lets make this our triubute to those we honor on Memorial Day. . ... CLOSi AAft&ORIAL PAY East Side Market Luman's Oakdale Market Grand View Market Piggly VViggly Big Y Super Market Groceteria SHOP BEFORE MEMORIAL DAY Entrants Seen as Fine Contribution To U.S. Citizenry Washington (U.R) President Eisenhower today asked Con gress to make 10 changes in the refugee law to speed admission of immigrants and reaffirm America's "great tradition of sanctuary." ' Expressing hope that the changes will be made during this congressional session, the President said the changes will "greatly aid in the success" of the admittedly slow moving pro gram. "The Dersons Dermitted to en ter the country under the pro gram will make a fine contribu tion to the body of our citizens," the President said. "And we shall again reaffirm that the great tradition of sanctuary lives on in America." Victims of Persecution The refugee law was passed in 1953 to provide emergency immigration rights for up to 209,000 refugees, mostly vic tims of Fascist and Communist persecution. The law expires Dec. 31, 1956. Mr. Eisenhower said so far, 30, 000 visas have been issued and almost 85,000 applications are in varous stages of processing. One of Mr. Eisenhower's out standing recommendations was to waive the requirement for in dividual sponsorship for each refugee applicant. Mr. Eisenhower recommended that where responsible, volun tary welfare organizations are prepared to provide assurances for the applicant's future in this nation individual sponsorship should not also be necessary. Controversial Firing Another proposal would lift health restrictions which have banned some persons with tuber culosis. Mr. Eisenhower said that with proper safeguards and modern treatment available in the United States such refugees could be admitted and cured. Administration of the refugee program by State Department Security Chief Scott McLeod has been criticized by a number of Democrats in Congress. They have protested that too few refugees have been admitted. Controversy over the program reached a new high when Ed ward J. Corsi was ousted April 10 as a special assistant to Sec retary of State John Foster Dulles after holding the post 90 days. He made accusations that the program was being sab otaged within the State Depart ment. Mr. Eisenhower's proposed changes answered in good meas ure some of the, charges made against the lagging refugee program. DuyisgUILK Today? Reach for GILLIAN'S Federal Aid Authorized For Tornado-Razed Area ' Washington U.R) Presi dent Eisenhower today authoriz ed use of federal funds to help state and local rehabilitation ef forts in tornado-hit sections of Kansas. In authorizing use of federal funds as may be necessary, Mr. Eisenhower designated the tor nado devastated sections as a major disaster area.

THE HIGHWAY IS NO PLACE TO FM "Speed is for the birds" say many ex perienced driven, "particularly on crowded holiday roads." Last year, for instance, a surprising number of adult drivers forgot to act their age. Result: they helped make Memorial Day 1954 the last day on earth for 362 people an unforgettable day for 12,500 injured! And it could happen again. Remember, expert drivers don't "kid" in traffic.

Today's housewife uses a modern washer and dryer. Manufacturers have reduced washday, chores to a turn of a dial.. But to mass produce millions of washers and dryers, manufacturers must ' be able to sell them by the millions. ' Only by advertising can a manu facturer talk to millions of people at one time. ADVERTISING TELLS the story of new, home appliances . and helps sell them. The more it sells, the more must be made keeping the production lines and the jobs going. The result: newer, better home appliances at prices more people can afford to pay. Advertising helped make the difference in home appliances,- and in our American way of life. Medford Mail Tribune
