EIGHT MEDfORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, May IS. 1958 Two Groups Discuss Offf-Sfreef Parking the district and an election Is necessary before the charter can be amended. He added it would be impossible to hold such an election before July 1, the be ginning of the new fiscal year. City Attorney Frank Farrell told the group that establishment of a sinking fund for the off street parking area would be legal. The budget committee is continuing consideration of the group's proposals. Untreated fence posts made from young trees are not as dur able as those split from older trees. Monsoon Rains Waited To Ease Cholera Outbreak Calcutta U.R) Medical au thorities were cheered today by the prediction 'that the monsoon rains would arrive early. They believe it will break a cholera epidemic. The outbreak already has set a world record in the number' of victims per capita, with pa tients arriving at cholera wards at the rate of 100 a day. Doctors said the worst is still to come unless the rains arrive first. EUROPEAN MANAGER New York (U.R) Thomas R. Curran, vice president and as sistant general manager of the United Press, today was named to be European general man ager, succeeding A. L. Bradford, who is resigning because of ill ness. UUUMIMMMM A committee of four business and professional representatives Monday morning met with the Medford city budget committee to discuss possibilities of acquir ing $60,000 to instigate an off street parking program here. The representatives were Cliff Lovejoy, Otto Ewaldsen, Jack Crawford and Don Herried. The budget committee has been working on a three-way plan for raising the funds. The plan calls for $20,000 from a proposed city business license tax increase, $20,000 from park ing meter funds and $20,000 from a proposed tax assessment area downtown. Ewaldsen pointed out a com plication in getting funds from an assessment district. He said the state legislature has passed measures enabling cities to create assessment districts.

' MMBM fLf t HOME Back Stairs: Ike's Health and Demos By MERRIMAN SMITH United Pret White House Writer Washington U.R) Back stairs at the White House: President Eisenhower's week end medical report may put a certain amount of pressure on the man who wins the Demo cratic presidential nomination. The Republicans reason this way: the Democratic nominee virtually will be forced to tell as much about his own physical condition as Mr. Eisenhower has done. . There probably will be an other Eisenhower checkup short ly before the Republican nom inating convention or at least, before the campaign hits full swing. Wisconsin sources say scouts are still looking over four or five likely presidential vacation sites for this summer. No decision has been reached Nor has it been decided whether Mr. Eisenhower will operate a campaign headquarters outside of Washington. But it looks more and more like an extended stay in Denver is out this year. There are gold drapes at the two windows facing west. The fireplace is faced with blue and white marble. The furniture includes a gold and white upholstered couch and two Williamsburg - green love seats. There also are two wing chairs covered in a pale yellow fabric decorated with red roses. Several straight chairs are upholstered in tapestry and there is a mahogany, leather-covered desk with matching chair that has a red velvet seat. One of the busiest, loudest pistol ranges in the country is deep in the bowels of the huge Treasury Building. The range is crowded almost daily from early morning until 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon. Secret Service agents, White House police. Treasury guards and other protective personnel of the government practice their marksmanship and fire qualify ing scores required periodically. The range is so deep in the re cesses of the massive building that few employees of the Treas ury know that it even exists. The White House police and the Secret Service also have their own outdoor range on the outskirts of Washington. The po lice had a big tournament there last Saturday. Seems odd, but Mrs. John S. Doud, Mrs. Eisenhower's moth er, is only 12 years older than the President. Mrs. Doud was 77 yesterday. The President was 65 last October. Mrs. Eisenhow er is 59. The living room of the presi dential suite at the Army.s Wal ter Reed Medical Center is un usually handsome for a service hospital. The room is 23 by 26 feet, with gray-green walls and matching carpet. Timber Town. Year 2000 Times do change. In the dozen years that I've been lending a bit of technical aid to the Shel- ton schools in their annual pag eant for the Mason County For est festival, there's been change in plenty. The 5th grader of 1946, who was tickled pink to have even the part of a skunk among the forest creatures of the pag eant, is now perhaps learning to pilot a jet. In those days we worked to make the schools' out door play a sort of fairy story. under the title of the magic tree, and also a pageant of the pio neers. This year the scene of the out door pageant is "Shelton in the year 2000," to be presented on the evenings of May 24 and 25 with the Forest Festival Par ade on the morning of the 26th. And while Queen Sylva, forest queen, yet rules over all the festival, her court will be the power princesses, Atoma and EI ectra, the Princesses of Air and Space, Herova and Marsella, and the Forest Products Princess Cellulah and Lignina. The Mars Market .... Princess Marsella takes the spotlight. She is a long, long way off from our former Prin cess of the Rain and Dew and the Princesses of the Birds, Bees and Blossoms of the forests. Princess Marsella is, of course, from Mars. Well, why not? And why should she not be an exchange teacher from Mars, as it tells in the new, two-toned Shelton schools' pageant? In the story Princess Marsella is a teacher of interplanetary' geography, no less! A married teacher, too, is Princess Marsella of the year 2000. Her husband is a young canal engineer from Mars, and was sent down by his government to make a study of Chicago U.R) Mildred Ann I"" .6 w Ann Vogel, a nurse at Mt.

Nurse Receives Award For Integration Work of the future of this forest region and the people of the woods, in stead of looking backward. Atomic power for peace needs only peace itself to work new wonders everywhere in indust ry. How long do you think it will be before the school busses of Shelton and other Northwest timber towns are driven by at omic power? By the Year 2000, your schools may need only one driver for 20 busses, and he will drive them all by remote con trol and television or an el ectronic brain will do it for him, while he just bullcooks for it. And of course the logs will be flown down from the woods by atomic airplanes. You know that a little interplanetary geo graphy is taught in the schools today. It is not at all out of line to calculate that by the Year 2000 an exchange teacher of this subject from the Mars Public Schools System may be avail able to Shelton or any other town of the region. Anyhow, it makes more sense to imagine the like of that than to think of interplanetary rela tions only in hideous terms of hellish war. won the Mary Mahoney Nursing award yesterday for her part in placing white and Negro em ployees of the hospital on an equal basis.

Noted Soviet Novelist Victim of Suicide Moscow U.R) Alexandre Fadeev, 55, noted Soviet novel ist, committed suicide Sunday ina fit of alcoholic depression, the official Soviet news agency Tass reported Monday. Fadeev was general secretary of the Union of Soviet Writers from 1947 to 1954. the government is always trying to improve them. The couple has a home in Shelton, and like it fine, but do get homesick. There is much traffic between Mars and Earth because Mars has no lumber trees according to the pageant story. So Mars is a market for our lumber in the Year 2000. What will your town really be like in the Year 2000? It is a good thing to think about ser iously. For mose of these 5th graders of today will be around here on that dawn of a new century, and how they are here, and what they'll be doing is go ing to depend on the planning and the work that is done for their future now for them to pass on to their children and grandchildren.
