News About Books
From the Library
By MISS HELEN WEBSTER
Medford Librarian
With tears and rejoicing, with
song and praise, the Jews
through many centuries have
celebrated Passover, the festival
of fredeom which commemorates
their deliverance from Egypt.
Since Passover falls this spring
between April 16 and 23, it
seems a good time to survey the
history, the tradition, the prob
lems, and the faith of the Jews
through books available in your
Medford Public Library.
Stimulating Book
An extraordinarily stimulat
ing book both to the mind and
the spirit and to Jews and Gen
tiles alike is Abraham Joshua
Heschel's philosophy of Judaism,
"Good in Search of Man." It is
beautifully written, and sur
prisingly clear even to the lay
reader, and shot through with
religious insights.
Desider Holisher presents a
clear and beautiful picture of the
role the synagogue plays in the
life of its congregation and of
the community in his recent
book, "The Synagogue and Its
People." Over 200 fine photo
graphs are combined with a
" brief, lucid text to make this
book of value not only to Jews
but to those of other faiths who
are sincerely interested in under
standing the culture of their
fellowmen.
Paris of Whole
Out of his deep conviction that
Christendom and Jewry are two
parts of a single whole, each es
rential to the other, Sholem
speaks plainly to his Christian
: brethren in "One Destiny," a
profoundly moving and eloquent
book.
An important book for all
who want a thorough under
standing of Bible days and what
came after is "Understanding
the Talmud," by Ernest Tratt
ner. "Everyman's Talmud," by
Dr. A. Cohen, is a condensation
in one book of the rich store
house of Jewish tradition con
tained in the 30 volumes of the
Talmud.
Human Men
Hebrew prophets were the
most human of men, preachers
and reformers dealing with cur
rent abuses and preaching for
their contemporaries. Brooke
Peters Church presents six of the
great writing prophets who pro
foundly influenced the course of
civilization against the social
and political framework of his
times, in "The Private Lives of
the Prophets."
The history of the Jewish peo
ple is related in several volumes
in the library's collection: among
them Lewis Browne's "Stranger
Than Fiction," "A History of
the Jewish People," by A. Marx
and Max Margolis, and "The Re
birth and Destiny of Isreal," by
David Ben Gurion. Rufus Learsi,
in "The Jews in America," sheds
light on all problems of Ameri
can Jewry past and present.
Fear of Subsidy
Prompied Refusal
To Back Fund Bid
Regular Road Work
Behind Schedule
Recent repairs to winter flood
damage on county roads have
. put regular road jobs behind
. schedule, County Engineer Paul
. B. Rynning said today.
Work which was expected to
be complete during the winter,
such as heavy rock work, has
been delayed to make emergen
cy repairs throughout the coun
ty, he explained.
Two major projects now un
derway by crews are those on
Mule hill in the Applegate,
where heavy rock work has be
gun, and on Rocky Hill on the
Butte Falls highway, where re
building of a two-mile section
is in process.
Rynning said the roads depart
ment ordinarily makes some
permanent improvements dur
ing the early part of, the year,
but that flood damage and a
shortage of funds has delayed
such work this vear.
Disaster Car Will Be
Downtown Saturday
The Jackson County Disaster
Car will be parked at the corner
of Main st. and Central ave. Sat
urday to call attention to a
dance to be given Thursday.
April 19. to raise funds for
equipping the car.
Tickets to the dance, to be
held at the Rogue Valley Ball
room, will be on sale at the car
tomorrow. The car was pur
chased, renovated and is being
equipped by the firefighters
group here.
The dance is being sponsored
by the Disabled American Vet
erans, with the ballroom being
donated, as well as the music,
which will be by the Melody
Wranglers playing under the
auspices of the Musicians' union.
Portland OJ.R? The president
of the Oregon Medical Society
said here today that it was fear
of government subsidy for pri
vate physicians that prompted
the society's council to refuse
support for University of Ore
gon Medical School s application
for Hill-Burton funds.
Dr. E. G. Shuinard said the
society feared some of the fed
eral money asked for remodel-j
ing of the school's outpatient
clinic mgiht go for offices for
medical school faculty members
where private patients would be
served.
Bickering Made Public
Bickering between the medi
cal society and the State Board
of Higher Education was first
made Dublic last year at the
state Legislature -where admis
sion policies for the new Uni
versity hospital were considered.
It erupted again when the medi
cal society's council refused to
endorse a University application
for $57,000 in Hill-Burton funds
to remodel a school building on
the Portland campus.
Dr. John Richards, chancellor
of the State Board of Higher
Education, replied that there
were no plans for faculty offices
in the remodeling project. He
has asked for an attorney gen
eral's opinion on the power of
the medical society to act ad
versely on state applications for
federal aid.
Asked for Hearing
He has also asked the State
Board of Health for a hearing
since it is board policy to con
sider an application for Hill
Burton funds incomplete if it is
lacking medical society endorsement.
Dr. David W. E. Baird, presi
dent of the medical school, said
the outpatient clinic plans m;
eluded added laboratory space
which were considered part of
original plans for the new teach
ing hospital. Without federal
aid, the laboratory facilities
could not be built and the hospi
tal would be handicapped, he
said.

Two Residence Fires
Reported in Medford
Residence of V. V. Jones. 512
Mary place, was damaged by
fire this morning.
Firemen, who were summon
ed by a neighbor about 9:10

ently spread from a davenport
which had been ignited in an
undetermined manner. The fire

and the neighbor noticed smoke
coming from the house.

way, about 9 p.m. yesterday,
was out on arrival of firemen.

and a portion of the eaves of the
roof.
Two pumper trucks were dis
patched on each alarm.

banks showed sharp gains over

St. Helens Workers
Overcome by Fumes
St. Helens i(U.R) Nine men
were partially overcome by
deadly chlorine gas fumes late
yesterday at the Crown Zeller
bach pulp plant here. ,
Dewey Kearsley, 29, and Bob
Spears, 38, were hospitalized
while seven others were treated
by doctors and the fire depart
ment's inhalator crew. Kearsley
and Spears were said to be in
fair condition.
A company spokesman said a
new pipeline for the chlorine
gas had been installed earlier in
the day. When the chlorine was
turned on at 5:30 p.m. the fumes
flooded the plant, apparently
from an open valve.
Kearsley and Spears were
working on the top floor of the
five-story building. They stayed
on the roof for more than an
hour.
The other seven were hit bv
the fumes before they could don
gas masks.
Patient Feelings Said
Important in TB Cases
Portland flJ.R)
Doctors
should pay more attention to the
feelings of tuberculosis patients
rather than stressing x-rays and
clinical examinations, says Dr.
Dean Brooks, superintendent of
Oregon state hospital at Salem.
Dr. Brooks told the 36th an
nual meeting of the Multnomah
County Tuberculosis and Health
association here yesterday that
this would stop patients from
leaving TB hospitals against
medical advice.
"Too often," he said, "we
think in terms of preventing the
loss of life rather than restoring
it. All those dealing with tuber
culosis must realize that the
man is more important than the
disease." .
