Delegates Return
From 1955 Legion
Session at Redmond
Local Legionnaires and 40
and 8'ers returned tired but full
f good words for the two or
ganizations' convention in Red
mond, Ore., last week.
Bud Pisher, commander of
American Legion post 16 in Med
ford said that "for the first time
there were no long speeches
All except the address of the
national commander were limit
ed to five minutes.
Holl Call Vot
Another ' first" of the Legion
convention was the roll call vote
on approval of the finance com
mittee report ending in a 216
to 216 tie. It took another night's
vrk before the report was ac
cepted.
Local members of the 40 and
8 caused a veritable sensation
with their Model T ford car
and the black, whistle tooting
locomotive. When they arrived
Tuesday night they started giv
ing rides to children. Approxl
mately 4,000 kids were hauled
around Redmond by the conven
tion's close.
In the 40 and 8 parade, the
local body won the cup for best
entry with -a barbers' chair
mounted on a heavy coil spring
A man walked ahead of the chair
grabbing men from the crowd
to take their "free shave." The
barber used whipped cream and
a rubber razor.
Win Trophy
The group also won the Cap
Meiring trophy for having sold
the most child welfare buttons
during the past year.
The Model T, driven by Fisher
;to Redmond on five gallons of
gas, was given a prize, and funds
were raised for the nurses train
ing program in Medford. Clyde
Fichtner is chairman of the
nurses training commission
here.
Delegates accompanying Fish
er to the American Legion con
vention were Gene Orr, H. J.
Meiring, Eugene K. Ricker, Don
Wilson, Hugh McKenzie and
Clarence Pankey.
The Legion conclave lasted all
week, and was overlapped by
. the 40 and 8 meet Wednesday ;
nd Thursday. '

bomb entered the world picture
The Big Four talks at Geneva
were held in the light of a plea
by several of the worlds best
known scientists for an end to
war. They said that only by end
ing conflicts between nations
could the peoples on. earth es
cape total destruction by the
hydrogen bomb.
The noted atomic scientist
Vannevar Bush said today that
the H-bomb has- in effect out
lawed all-out war. But, he said,
the United States has failed to
arm itself for the minor wars
which probably will continue to
break out in areas of tension.
Atomic Stalematt
Writing in the magazine, "Na
tion's Business," Bush said that
we are heading into what you
might call an atomic stalemate.
But he said, military people
have been buried in the sheer
necessity of thinking through
the implications of the atomic
bomb and thus have not been
able to place enough emphasis
on how to handle secondary
wars. Bush said he cannot see
how an A-bomb could be used
in a minor war without tripping
off a major catastrophe.
But for one day last week,
the hydrogen and atom bombs
were shoved into the back
ground . . . their terror sup
planted by visions of the fu
ture. President Eisenhower announ
ced that a small satellite would
be sent above the atmosphere to
rotate around the earth in outer
space.
Now, the Imagination has
done its work and the time has
come for the hard facts of life.
Apparently this too, is- bringing
problems.
Democratic Senator Henry
Jackson of Washington has call
ed for a congressional review of
this country's proposed earth
satellite program.
Jackson, who is a member of
the senate armed services com
mittee, is particularly wary of
the president's plan to share any
information- received from the
satellite with the Russians. He
says he opposes any exchange of
information in the program be
cause as he puts it "The first
consideration will be the mili
tary application."
But the satellite not only
brought Jackson to his feet. It
almost knocked house parlia
mentarian Lewis Deschler for a
loop.
Nam Bill Introduced
Democratic rep. Frank Kar
sten of Missouri introduced a
bill to name the satellite "as
tranaut." That was fine, but it
was Deschler's job to decide
what to do with the bill.
He could have sent the bill
Mongold Jerseys
Receive Awards
"Ton of Gold" certificates
have been awarded to three reg
istered Jersey cows owned by
W. D. Mongold, Route 1, Eagle
Point, by the American Jersey
Cattle club.
The recognition was given
Mongold's Jerseys after they
had produced more than a ton
of butterfat during a four-year
period on a Herd Improvement
Registry test.
The "Honored" cows are La
Pine Sybil Cheryl, producing
2,362 lbs. of butterfat; Pine Sybil
Givia, producing 2,138 lbs. of
butterfat; and Sylvan Lord's
Rosebud, producing 2,246 lbs.
of butterfat.
to the appropriations committee
because the satellite would cost
money. Or he could have passed
it on to armed services because
the satellite might be the start
of a space Navy ... or he could
have sent it to government op
erations because the program is
a government one.
But Deschler didn't send it to
any of them.
He finally shooed it on to
the foreign relations committee,
figuring the satellite, on its trip
around the world, would zoom
over other nations too.
And oh yes, the name, "As
tranaut." That comes from two
Greek words . . . "Astrom,"
meaning star, and "Nautes,"
meaning sailor or ship.
Rogue Rangers Plan
For Aug. 73 Hay ride
Plans for a hayride and water
melon "feed" were made during
a recent meeting of the Rogue
Rangers.
A decision to have an over
night ride on Aug. 13 was also
reached during the meeting. The
destination has not yet been
planned. During the meeting a
new member, Philys Morris, was
voted in. The club now has a
membership of 38.
The Rangers recently were
awarded the blue ribbon for the
best parade group in the parades
staged by the Jackson County
Mounted Sheriff's posse to ad
vertise the 13th annual Round
up held last week-end.

New Procedure Set To Determine Age Of Liquor Buyers
Portland A new simplified
procedure for determining the
age of young purchasers seeking
to buy alcoholic liquor becomes
effective this week. The state
law previously required that li
censees of the Oregon liquor con
trol commission when doubtful
as to the legal age of a purchaser
secure a written statement of
age.
This still is required, but the
form on which the statement is
made has been simplified, and
the commission hopes it will en
courage greater vigilance on the
part of licensees, and deter min
ors from attempting purchases.
The law requires that when
doubt exists as to the legal age
of a customer, the licensee or
permittee shall require the cus
tomer to certify on an OLCC
form that he is 21 years of age
or older, and to list by number
his driver's license, military rec
ord, liquor permit or other iden
tification indicating his true age
or identity.
Should the purchaser prove to
be a minor, the licensee may of
fer the statement of age, cards
and other documents exhibited
by the purchaser as legal defense
of any administrative or crimi
nal prosecution for sale or' ser
vice of alcoholic beverages to a
minor.
Fines up to S250 and jail sent
ence up to 90 days are penalties
for misrepresenting age to se-
