First of Kind
' The circus caravan wagons
carrying the industry's show into
all plywood milltowns of the
Pacific northwest and northern
California, were constructed of
top plywood products. They are
the first of their kind ever built
with fir plywood.
Panels surfaced with high den
sity resin-fiber overlay cover the
exterior of the two semi-trailers.
They are a building product
manufactured with waterproof
glue for outside use. The overlay
gives them a surf ace that is hard,
smooth, tough and wear resis
tant. .
Waterproof Construction
Inside the circus wagons, con
struction is with standard water
proof fir plywood.
Some 600 man-hours went into
construction of each of the two
van boxes. These boxes have sev
eral unusual features including
drop sides which fold down to
become extension floors, and ex
tensive within-wall wiring fo
special outlets.

Medford Rotary
Hears District
Governor Speak
Rotary International, through
clubs now established in 92
countries, has become an im
portant force for world peace,
Alton F. Baker, Eugene, Oregon
newspaper publisher and gov
ernor of Rotary District 154,
told Medford Rotarians here
Tuesday.
Speaking at a luncheon meet
ing at the .Jackson hotel, he
pointed out that the 50-year-old
organization now has 8,827 clubs
with 419,000 members spread
throughout the free world.
On the basis of recent growth
of Rotary International, the dem
ocratically organized association
of business and professional men
should have a million members
by 1980, the speaker predicted.
Rotary was established by
Paul Harris in Chicago in 1905
with the purpose of spreading
acquaintanceship and friendship.
These provide an open door-to
better understanding, an essen
tial of eventual world peace. In
the y92 nations feeling the in
fluence of Rotary, mutual trust
and friendship are primary ob
jectives. .
Rotary Foundation, which es
tablishes a wide-spread program
of student exchange, fosters this
international good-will, the dis
trict governor told the Medford
ciuo. me Medford club was
lauded for 100 per cent member
ship in this growing foundation
program.
.: Rotary's effort to raise stand
ards and ethics in business and
professional contacts on a local
level, and to assist in worth-
wnue civic movements, were
cited. The organizational set-up
cf Rotary International, in which
representatives from all over the
world determine policies which
are always flekible and subject
to change, was discribed.
District Governor Baker met
Monday night with Medford Ro-
ary club committee chairmen
at the Medford hotel. The local
club is the 38th visited this year
on his tour of District 154. Al
ready over 7,000 miles have
been covered in official visitations.
President Joe Naumes of the
Medford Rotary club presided
at both the club assembly and
the luncheon meeting Tuesday
and introduced the speaker. ,
children.
I do not want to discuss my
prison experience ( for, as you
know there is a Russian saying,
"tiurna ne kurort," which
means prison is not a resort.
No Complaints
It is certainly no picnic. It is
no pleasure to be a labor camp
inmate, but I cannot complain
about my treatment.
I was released and cleared xt
all charges with apologies from
the Soviet authorities. Now I
just -want to plan a quiet simple
lite with my family.
Her husband, Robert Wallach.
a Washington bank employee,
was everjoyed when informed
that his wife was free and is re
turning to him.
However, Mrs. Wallach still
faces the problem of getting a
U.S. passport before she can re
join her American husband and
two children in the United
States.
Not an American
She is not an American. She
is a native of Germany. But now.
it is understood, she has no citi
zenship anywhere.
Washington officials recalled
that she had been temporarily
denied a visa for entry into the
United States before. The
grounds for this action were not
disclosed. Furthermore, they
noted that she once was closely
associated with Noel and Herta
Field, Americans who elected to
remain in Hungary rather than
return to the United States after
being freed from jail in that
Communist nation.
- "Please do not consider me a
martyr or a heroine. I want by
gones to be bygones and to for
get. I am not planning to exploit
my unfortunate experience, to
write books or articles, or to lec
ture just to live quietly for
the rest of my life.
