Paul Weiland, Med ford, state Izaak Walton league director, that he plan to urge favorable consideration of the Savage Rapids turbine screening project by the House of Repre sentatives . appropriations com mittee. Ellsworth wrote, "Later in the session when the appropriations committee gets around to related budget items its my purpose to present testimony . . . urging fa vorable consideration of approv al of the funds necessary to bring about the installation of the fish screens. The screens are sought to pre vent damage and destruction to downstream migrating' fish. Un screened turbines on the Rogue have been described as possi bly the No. 1 factor in decline of fish runs in the river. Jackson County chapter members of the Walton league have made the Savage Rapids screening one of their major projects of the year. DIFFICULT TASK There are . indications that Walionians face a difficult task. Congressional appropri . ation is necessary to provide for installation. Place was left in the dam construction to re ceive the four required screens. , . Ellsworth said that contin uing effort has been made io find some basts- on which fed eral funds could be secured. He pointed out that the matter has been subject of bureau of the budget discussion in . the past. According to the congress man, the dam project was not considered eligible for non reimbursable funds. He said, "The formula for payout of the reimbursable funds indi cated that the additional ex penditure for the screens could not be required on the re quired payout basis . ..." Con gress apparently was of the viewpoint that the federal gov ernment could not properly undertake making improve ments which had not previous ly been part of the project. . ." Ellsworth pointed out that the fact that the secretary of interior may urge budgeting of funds for the project does not assure that it will be in the budget or will be approved Superiority 50 OF AMERICA'S WHISKY PRODUCED IN KENTUCKY AND EARLY TIMES STANDS ALONE AS THE ONE WHISKY KENTUCKIANS CHOOSE FOR THEMSELVES.

HUSKY GRID RUMOR A second-hand rumor has it that Mel Ingram, head football coach at Grants Pass high, is a possibility for the varsity coach ing post at University of Wash ington made vacant by the firing of Johnny Cherberg. GRANTS PASS QUESTION Line-up of clubs for the Southern Oregon League base ball season may be pretty well known , following the loop's Sunday afternoon meeting at the Roseburg city hall. But it may not be complete. There's a report that Grants Pass does not plan to participate despite a previous report to the con trary. It may take some urging on the part of other loop clubs and some reorganizing in Grants Pass to keep the Cave men in the circuit. It is re ported Sfliat the Elks lodge does not plan to sponsor the team this year and that one of the club's "officials . has moved away. SOFTBALL PROBLEM Mention of baseball brings the question of. softball. Will the Medford Softball association re sume operation this yeaar. The softttall organization, revived in 1952 after four years of. inac tivity, struggled along for three seasons. But efforts to organize for 1955 failed completely de spite repeated efforts to keep the ball rolling. , It wasn't because no one wanted to play softball. There were groups interested in field ing teams. The trouble was that no individuals could be found who had both time and desire it requires both to shoulder the responsibilities and problems of administering the league. Biggest fault has been a "let George do it attitude" which meant that one, two or, perhaps three had to do almost all of the work while others had all the fun. If softballers can lick the faults and the matter of arrang ing a place to play, the sport can be revived on a healthy basis. This writer, would like to see softball come back for the good of the community. He'll help in any reorganization but, because of his obligations to so many sports and groups, can't partic ipate in actual , administration. Now's the time to start making preparations if there is to be a league. BASKETBALL DANGER A few remarks overheard recently indicate that the Med ford Independent Basketball league could be in danger of going the same way as the softball association.

ANDERSON CLAIMS Telephone Lines Jammed Over 54 "Andy" Anderson. Medford businessman, says that when you mention magic numbers and money, you leave your self wide open to be trampled in the rush. In the columns of this pa per last week, Andy claimed that his magic number 54 could solve almost anybody's financial5 problem, and invit ed telephone calls or visits. Andy, his hands bruised from shaking hands, his ears puffed up from answering the phone, and his voice hoarse from saying Yes," has decid ed that he'd better explain the magic formula in print. "54 means that you can bor row ,$1000 from COMMER CIAL INDUSTRIAL FI NANCE, pay off all your bills, and pay us back at the rate of $54 mbnthly for 24 months," Andy says. "What is more, no payment is due for a FULL MONTH after you receive your loan. From COMMERCIAL INDUS TRIAL FINANCE, at Main and Riverside, you can bor row from $25 to $2500. Loans are made on your salary, or on your furniture or car (paid for or not!)." And to heck with his bruis ed ear if you want more in formation just call 3-4564 and ask for Andy. His greatest pleasure in life is saying "Yes" to your application for a loan!
