r Requests Seek Soft Drinks for Fourth Phoenix, Ariz., (U.R) More than 1,000 requests to make good on a July 4th promise by disc jockeys had been received by radio station KRUX here Sat urday. The record reelers had prom ised a soft drink to everyone in Arizona if no traffic deaths were recorded on the state's highways during the Fourth. No one was killed, and the sta tion was in the position of having to buy soda pop for the state's 1,040,000 residents, at a cost of $50,000. "We're re?dy to live up to our end of this bargain," said Dav id Bartell, chairman of the board of Bartell Radio Stations, which own KRUX. "We've received more than 1000 letters and cards requesting the soft drinks," he said, "and we anticipate more. You know it gets pretty warm in Arizona at this time of year." The offer was an ad lib by one of the DJ's, who figured he had a safe promise to make, be cause Arizona regularly record ed traffic deaths on holidays. 0 Y PAINT It ITU IteauiftlcKei ri Md. i jUZX I i "'"' jSBeW32 Linen Covered Wr!

Margie Lois is really quite naive. e Loit My little sister has developed a shockingly cynical attitude, and to make matters worse, my mother seems to en courage he"r. We are planning a party, and my sister is inviting boys and girls and wants me to do the same, but she objects to a few of my friends, saying that they would be "too much competi tion" for us with the boys. She is not inviting her own closest girl friend because, she' says, this girl is "too aggressive" with the boys. I have not had many dates with boys although I am 20, but I would not think of cutting out my closest girl friends from a party list, although they proba bly have an easier way with boys than I do. I am not so much shocked at my little sister as I am at my mother for agree ing that we should be so cynical- MEDFORD PAINT & WALLPAPER STORE Corner 6th t Holly, Diagonally Across from the Post Office We Give S&H Green Stamps PHONE 2-9321 All Lamps MEDFORD'S BARGAIN CORNER SIXTH AND CENTRAL ly calculating in our guest list. Margie Lois thinks of me as her "little sister" because I am three years younger, but she is actually younger than I am socially. I have had more dates, and I have learned that a grl has to use her head, while Lois leaves everything to chance. Her girl friends do not, however; they calculate wisely and they get all the boy friends. Mother agrees with me be cause she sees Lois making no progress and being passed up by the boys for girls who are not nearly as pretty or as clever as she. I am not quite as cynical as Lois thinks I am. I could take a little competition because I have learned how to hold my own with boys. But I want Lois to get some attention at our party and get some dates. That is why I refuse to invite my closest girl friend. A girl of 17 may be "little" in my sister's eyes, but she can be strong competition to a 20-year-old who feels stiff and awkward when boys are around. The Council: Mother and younger sister are to be com mended for their thoughtfulness, but they cannot hope to solve Lois' problem by outraging her sense of ethics. It is to be ques tioned whether a large party of mixed age groups is the . ideal vehicle for introducing Lois to boys or overcoming her feeling of shyness with them. A small dinner party may af ford her a much better back- TERRY CLOTH In Fast Colors Values to 98e yd. Mon. C "7 Only 3 yd. Deep, fluffy terry In prints and solid colors.

Search Continues for Missing Utah Girl Widstoe, Utah U.R) Ground and aerial searchers fanned out again Saturday to continue the search for 2-year-old Idaho girl missing since a Fourth of July picnic in the bad lands of Southern Utah. Two bloodhounds flown from Las Vegas, Nev., were used in the search yesterday but were unable to find Vilate Young, the missing daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kerry Young, Monteview, Ida. In each of nine tries the dogs, handled by Deputy Sheriff Robert W. Krutecka of Las Ve gas, came to a dead end when they reached a road. More than 200 volunteers pushed their way through the sagebrush and sand for a two mile radius from where the girl disappeared. They found no trace of the child. ground, while avoiding the ob viously touchy issue of selec tion to avoid "competition." If Lois is a wallflower at parties, it may be wiser to avoid parties and concentrate on simpler get togethers. In a small party it may be much easier to encour age conversation and to draw out Lois' qualities by bringing her into the conversation. Since Margie is determined to help her sister, she probably could do a great deal to guide the conversation in the direction of Lois at a small dinner party. We. would advise the avoidance of a frontal attack on Lois' shy ness in favor of an indirect ap proach, and we would certainly advise a quick backing away from the ethical issue of avoid ing "competition." Lois' high minded scruples should not be attacked. (Coypright 1956. General Features Corp.) Postal Clerks Elect Officers in Gearharf Gearhart U.R) James G.

Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport Four Killed in 10 Days in Feather River Canyon Work Oroville, Calif. (U.R) Cave- ins in the huge Poe hydroelec tric tunnel under construction in the Feather River canyon have taken the lives of four workmen in the past 10 days. Two men were killed Friday when hundreds of tons of rock crashed down in a section where a 55-man crew were working. On June 26, two men were killed and two others in jured when shoring collapsed on a wor,k crew at the other end of the seven-mile tunnel. Friday's victims were identi fied as W. C. May, Oroville. and Harlan Henecke, 48, Pulga, Calif. Dig for Third After the bodies were remov ed, the crew began frantic dig ging into the huge rock pile for a third man who was missing. However, fie missing man, James Sheldon of Oroville, had jumped into the ambulance to accompany the dead men and was not hurt. The tunnel is part of the $40 million Poe project which, when completed, will carry wa ter seven miles through rock to a Pacific Gas and Electric com pany power plant. Reports from the tunnel indi cated seepage may have caused yesterday's cave - in. Sheldon said the men were given a lit tle warning of the collapse by a rumbling noise. He said the 15 men working directly below the cave-in scattered for safety. "Thirteen of us made it," Sheldon said. "The other two didn't." Boy Electrocuted on Washington Railroad Cle Elum, Wash.

Sunday, July 8. 1951 Timing of Important Recently imposed spray re sidue tolerance makes the timing of the last spray before fruit harvest of great importance, ac cording to C. B. Cordy, county harticulture agent, and L. G. Gentner, of the Southern Ore gan Experiment station. They pointed out that fruit cannot be sold if residues ex ceed the tolerance. Since pre sent washing methods do little toward reducing residues, any fruit seized because of excess residue will have to be destroy ed. Precaution Named Careful ' observation of the interval beween spraying and harvest is the only precaution that can be taken against exces sive residue, the officials said. An interval of 30 days is re quired between harvest and the use of DDT, aramite or ziram. Fourteen days is sufficient inter val with parathion or EPN, and three days with malathion. The horticulturists emphasized that spray should not be apolied at closer intervals than these In emergencies, they recommend TEPP for mites and psylla. Harvest can proceed three days after this material is applied. The third cover spray on pears should be completed 30 days before the fruit is harvest ed. Earliest bartletts will be picked Aug. 9 and earliest D' Anjous Aug. 27, they said. Spray on all varieties except early bartletts should be completed on July 20. They recommended '7 pounds Second Phase of Ownership Completed Portland, Ore.

On apples the spray should be applied at once, they said. Ten pounds 50 per cent DDT per acre is recommended. For aphids, they suggest adding 12 pounds malathion or 6 pounds parathion. A third cover is also suggested for late ripening cherries, such as Lamberts or sour cherries. Two pounds of methoxychlor in 100 gallons of water is re commended if visable residue is not undesirable.
