JACKSONVILLE
Chief Warns Jaywalkers
By MRS. C. S. HOSKINS
Jacksonville Police Chief
Frank Carter last week cited as
evidence a recent near-serious
jay-walking incident, that such
accidents are not confined to
large cities. Not using the cross
walks, which are put there and
well marked for everyone's pro
tection, :ould lead one into a ser
ious or perhaps fatal mishap. So
to be safe, he said, don't be a
Jacksonville jaywalker.
Carter also reports that young
bicycle riders on Jacksonville
streets need a serious reminder
that the same rules, regulations
and safe driving laws apply to
them as well as to automobile
drivers. Parents should see that
their children are well acquaint
ed with the laws before they are
allowed to ride bicycles on city
streets, he said.
The Word Krafters club met
at the Alvin Minshall home in
Jacksonville June 25. Fifteen
members were present and one
guest, Mrs. John R. Hamaker.
The co-hostess was Mrs. Joe
Price. A short business meeting
was held and group discussions
on various current contests, and
refreshments were served. The
next meeting will be held with
Mrs. E. Eggers at 1021 West 11th
it., Medford, with Mrs. Hicks as
co-hostess, on the last Monday
in July at 1:30 p.m. Mrs. Joe
Price, Mrs. James Noble and
Mrs. John R. Hamaker will pro
vide the program.

Milk is certainly a "must" in everybody's
home. That's why it's about the friendliest,
most welcome beverage you can serve your
guests. And milk goes with everytbing...iiom
pastry to cheese and crackers, from candy to
TV tidbits.

Evidence Brings New
Verbal Battle Over
Colorado River Water
San Francisco (U.R A new
verbal battle is apparently
brewing between Arizona and
California over evidence intro
duced by Arizona in the legal
fight for Colorado River rights.
Attorneys for Arizona have
introduced three documents,
known as the "Blue," "Red,"
and "White" books, which con
tain all bureau of reclamation
records and reports on Colora
do river water, information on
the Central Arizona project,
and material used in compiling
its definition of "beneficial use
of consumptive water."
Admits Books
Special Master Simon E. Rif-
kind admitted the Blue and Red
books as evidence, providing
Arizona can get witnesses to
support the information they
contain. The White book, which
Arizona relies on most, was
thrown out.
Arizona indicated Friday that
it would not call witnesses in
regard to the Blue book, but
California objected. R i f kind
said they could argue the point
Monday.
Meanwhile, Arizona contin
ued its parade of witnesses to
testify to that state's water
needs.
Victor Corbell of Tempe,
president of the Salt River Val
ley Water Users association,
testified that 30 years ago wa
ter supplies in hia area were
