t Tuberculosis Problem 10-Year Program Meet the Candidates Increasing in Local Areas, Official Says Tuberculosis is becoming an increasing problem to local com munities and to local health or- ganiaztions, Kenneth Ross, ex ecutive secretary of the Oregon Tuberculosis and Health associa tion said during a recent visit here. "Contrary to the belief of many people, the number of cases of tuberculosis has not de creased during the past several years but because of the new drug treatments, patients are not dying and are not hospital ized as long, he said. ' Instead, they are returning to their homes from the state-financed sanitariums and the local com munities are then faced with the problems of supplying ex pensive drugs and care. Very liil I i n r the best way to say you care MOTHER'S DAY CARDS mm tut MtwHMMr I few are able financially to care for themselves and very few are able to return to work," he added. Ross pointed out the 15 new cases in Jackson county last year will represent an expendi ture of approximately $225,000 in tax money. Studies have shown that each case of tuber culosis costs at least $15,000 un less found in the early stages. There were 636 new cases in Oregon last year. Recent Study Quoting from a recent study of the changing picture in tu berculosis control, Ross stated the study shows only about half the tuberculosis case load is now in hospitals, the other half be ing cared for in homes. Of the half in local communities, 87 per cent are far advanced, the report indicates. Ross commended the Jackson County Public Health associa tion, the local affiliate of the State Tuberculosis and Health association, for its efforts through the chest x-ray clinic and the hospital x-ray programs to find unknown and early tu berculosis infections. Mrs. Chester Guches, x-ray chairman, pointed out that the clinic is open to the . public Thursday afternoons at Sacred Heart hospital. Reconsideration Asked On Hawthorn Tracks Portland (U.R) The Port land Association of Building Owners and Managers yesterday asked the city to reconsider its stand in opposition to interurban tracks on the new approaches to the Hawthorne bridge. Arvin Burnett, spokesman for the association, said in a letter to the city council that the group was concerned over "the failure to find a satisfactory solution" to trackage on the bridge. ' "We believe that wherever possible such lines should be continued into the heart of the city," Burnett said. For Park Service Is Reviewed Here Mission 66, a program design ed to increase U.S. national park facilities to suitable standards within the next ten years, was outlinde for the Medford Rotary club Tuesday by T. C. Williams superintendent of Crater Lake National park. In a brief luncheon address at the Jackson hotel Williams pointed out that understandable emphasis upon defense spending had resulted in curtailed aporo- priations and serious shortages of parks facilities while attend ance is steadily increasing. Approximately 50,000,000 peo pie will visit various parks and monuments this year, and it is estimated that attendance fig ures will jump to 80,000,000 by 1966, he said. Capital Encouraged In the Mission 66 program private capital will be encour aged to invest in public housing accommodations wherever pos sible. Fast-growing popularity of outdoor camping will be taken into consideration in the new 10 year plan for rehabilitation and development. Trails, buildings, scenic roads and view ooints and other facilities will be brought to satisfactory stand ards and extended to accommo d a t e anticipated tourist in creases, Williams pointed out. Scenic views of national parks, including Crater Lake, are shown, and a wire recording of commentary by Conrad Worth, national parks chief, accompa nied the pictures. Mark A. Gol dy, program chairman, introduc ed the speaker. Hippopotamus Born In Rio De Janeiro Rio De Janeiro (U.R) The Rio Zoo had ; another unusual birth Tuesday.

Following is the second of four "Meet the Candidates" features in which, side by side, the candidates' statements or those made on their behalf, are pub lished.) Republican Candidates For County Assessor ALLEN D. CURRY In seeking my first political office in Jackson County I re spectfully .submit the following information. I was born Jan. 25, 1889, at Norton, Kan. Was raised on the farm and farmed there many years before coming to Oregon in 1926, and the City of Medford in the fall of 1928. I own my home at 505 Benson st., and have lived at this address since the spring of 1929. I have four sisters living here, two of them are with the Med ford school district; Miss Olive Curry as school nurse and Mrs. Eleanor Hamilton, teacher in the Roosevelt school. Their rec ords speak for themselves. My wife passed away in 1939, leaving me with five children who were all graduated from the Medford schools. I am an active member of the First Christian church and have been an active member of the Rogue Valley Gideons since 1947. I come seeking the nomina-. tion for the office of County Assessor of Jackson County on the Republican ticket. This being my first adventure in the politi cal field in Oregon", it is not al together new to me, as I have been following things pretty close for many years and don't believe I have failed to exercise my rights and duty to vote since I first voted. - I have .been dealing with the public for - many years, having been township assessor in Kansas for three years; was in the tax department of the Sheriff s of fice for a year and a half here m Jackson county, was an em ployee of the City of Medford, in the treasurer's and recorder's office for five years; was trans ferred to the water department in 1933 where I was office man ager and accountant at my re tirement the first of March 1955. In connection with my work in the water department I served as city police judge for a period of nine years, receiving much valuable experience and knowledge. Most of you know that the as sessment of the property in the state of Oregon is controlled by the State Tax commission, there- JOHN H. TIZEKKER . I was born in Pennsylvania, graduated from.' high school there, attended engineering col lege in Cleveland,. Ohio, and su pervised heavy .construction for over 15 years before coming to Medford in 1945. . . - . I worked in the county asses sor's office of Jackson county the latter part of 1946 and in -.1947 and 1948. In 1949 I worked at city hall. In 1951 I became as sociated with Western Detective es and today am manager for the same agency in Medford. I am a member of the William Penn order, Patriotic Sons -of America Elks, Exchange club, and in good standing in the AFofL union. My slogan is efficiency, integ rity and a fair and just tax to all. Italian Department Heads Not 'I xceenc Rome, Italy (U.R) Premier Antonio Segni directed all gov ernment ministers and depart ment heads today to stop refer ring to the chief of state as "ex cellency" a title forbid by law since 1945. "The proper address is 'Mister President'," the directive said. fore the duties of the Assessor are more in the form of an execu tor or administrator. I am not making any rash promises that I will reduce your taxes, but I will make every ef fort to equalize the assessed val uation of all properties. Will give a fair and impartial hear ing to any and all who desire such a hearing, and will lower the taxes if possible. With my many years experi ence with the public, I feel that I am well qualified for the office of County Assessor and know that I can uphold the integrity of the office and give and ad minister impartial justice to all. When you go to the polls on May 18th, I ask you to consider my many qualifications . and background, and when you cast your ballot be sure the X is be fore the name of Allen D. Curry, for your next Assessor.
