The public is cordially invited to take this opportunity to be come acquainted with the Med ford league. This is the only activity of the league that is strictly social. The program for the coming year will consist of voters' ser vice activity including a con didates fair in October, a local study on conservation of water and watersheds which will help to formulate a national league stand on water policy, discus sions of individual liberty legis lation, a study of county govern ment with regard to necessary revision of the state constitu tion and a more intensive study and survey of local problems and needs of this latter category as a local item. These studies are carried on by committees, and discussed in the monthly unit meetings. Find ings of these discussions are turned into the national and state leagues by these commit tees. As a result of these find ings, the league as a whole is able to take a stand on legisla tion pending before a law mak ing body, providing that there is a majority opinion to war rant such a stand. As an example, after a two year study of international trade, a further two year study by way of a national trade sur vey was made. Meant primarily to arouse the public to the im portance of considering the ef fect of such trade, the recent compilation' of this survey has been used in congress to help formulate legislation regarding foriegn trade.
