be impossible to hold such an
election before July 1, the be

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.

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

to be European general man

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. How
ever, he explained, a charter
amendment is necessary to create

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

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.

the government is always trying

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.
