This is be ing written in the office of the Berkeley Daily Gazette, a paper about the same size as the Mail Tribune. The bands are blaring forth at the stadium where Washington State football team tangles with the Golden Bears of California. , This postscript to Pinkin Pears is inspired by the ohance ac quaintanceship made on board ing the Shasta Daylight with Mike Bossier who is on his way from fruit season work to his horns at Belleville in southern .Illinois, just across the river from St. Louis. Mike Bossier is an old timer in the pear industry and while he has retired from the picking part of the fruit growing bus iness, he has a world of knowl edge and experience which some of the growers recognized to the extent of engaging him for special duty. - 'ommmmmmmmmammmmmmmewmmmmmmmmmmmwmmmmummmmmme I 9 bereft MW3M y 93JLG33 COfllBaai) Mm I CHECK THIS: Full 42-Key Keyboard College Keyboard No Extra Chars Business Symbols:, , $, , 0, t Lightweight 15 Pounds Carriage Shift All Essential Operating Features ' -7 One-Half Line Spacing No Extra Charge Automatic Lin Finder Many Office Machine Features Use Weisfield's Easy Terms No Money Down, $1.50 a Week 122 E. Main St. - Med ford (ML I Store Hous: 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. - Wed. 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. ' See "Camera 4 Show""Tucsday8, 8 p.m. KBES-TV Hs has just completed an ap praisal of a number of orchards near Roseburg, not for tax pur poses, but for a prospective pur chaser. He has at least 25 years to his credit for work with Bear Creek, Cook and Zimmerman orchards. He has some definite ideas about fruit growing which seem to have bearing on the' present predicament of the in dustry. Mike, as he is known around town, thinks that the real job ahead is one of merchandising and popularizing Rogue Valley pears. "There is one thing I can't understand," he says. "The fruit goes to market with destination unknown. I understand the bulk of the pears are shipped directly into the New-York market. I do know that a great many cities in the midwest and in other parts of the country I have visit ed don't know anything about Rogue Valley pears, or any pears other than the little side variety." . Bossier recalled a visit of the late Will Rogers to Medford where he addressed an organi zation and then when he had left they read his comment about the visit. Will said he visited the famous pear growing town of Medford but never' saw a pear the whole time he was there, Mike related. Here is Mike's idea on ad vertising: . "There is one little thing, the pear grower can do to stimulate wider sale. They have a paper wrapper now which doesn't say anything. People buy the fruit and find it hard and unripened. They only buy once if they don't know how to ripen the fruit. Why don't they print the direc tions for ripening the hard pears? Then they ' would find out what a wonderful product it is." Mike Bossier ought to know about the pear growing business, apart from the experience he has .had with the fruit in the Rogue River Valley. He comes from Lorraine, France, and the pear industry is a major opera tion in France, to wit Cornice, Bosc, Anjous and other French varieties. "It is surprising how few people know these are French names," he says. He grew up in the nursery business which his father start ed in Illinois. "There wasn't much trouble in marketing in those days. They went by truck to St. Louis. And there wasn't the care taken of the trees that we find today." Mike thinks the Pacific Coast is far ahead of other parts of the country in scientific fruit growing. "That'8 why they have such a fine article to sell. But I sometimes wonder if they aren't putting so much attention in cul tivating the trees and the grow ing and harvesting, that they forget that the public has to know something about the pro duct itself before their efforts will be recognized."

Phoenix Couple, Missing on Hunting Trip, Found Safe A Phoenix couple who went deer hunting Friday morning were found late yesterday with out deer, and their pickup truck stuck in mud on Brush mountain rd.
