Fruit Publication
Editor Visits Group
Special guest at the Thursday
meeting of the Rogue River Val
ley Traffic association was Os
car Bower, managing editor of
International Fruit Word pub
lication. He was introduced by
Carroll Miller of Pinnacle Pack
ing company.
Bower is on a tour of the ma
jor fruit districts of the United
States and will travel to San
Jose, Calif., from here and then
to Mexico and South America.
The publication is issued three
times a year and is published
in Switzerland. It deals with de
velopments and problems of
marketing and production of
the world wide fruit industry.
Bower said one stary that ha
was particularly interested in
for use in an early issue was the
development of the Oregon-Washington-California
pear bu
reau. He said that fruit districts
in other parts of the world
would be benefited by learning
of the methods used in promot
ing increased use of their prod
ucts in their domestic markets.

'Sleepy' Making
Rounds in Medford
If you saw a bear wandering
around Medford today, your
eyes weren't playing tricks.
The bear is Sleepy, a
copyrighted costume character
given life by Les Sears of San
Diego, who is visiting Medford
on behalf of the company for
which he works, the TraveLodge
corporation.
It's a pure and simple publi
city gag and attention-getter,
Sears admits freely. But he
says he has so much fun with
his bear costume, with "Goldi
locks," the life-size rag doll with
which he dances, and with the
kids who flock around him, that
it's grown to be more than just
a gimmick.
Sears (as "Sleepy") was mak
ing the rounds this afternoon,
and will do so again tomorrow.
And he'll also tell you about
the parades he's marched in, the
beauty contests he's enlivened,
the children's hospitals he's visit
ed mostly for fun, but with
a little plug for his motel chain
on the side.
His visit to Medford is in ad
vance of the Sept. 11 opening
of a Trave Lodge here, at 722
North Riverside ave., to be oper
ated by Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Keeler. The motel is the first of
the chain in Oregon, but five
others will be built soon under
the company's policy of 50-50
ownership with the local mana
gers. There are 56 in Caifornia,
and others in Washington and
more going up in Arizona and
Mexico.
Sears hopes, again as
"Sleepy," to be back in time for
the motel opening but he may
be too busy opening the Cali
fornia State fair, he said.

New York (U.R) Stocks made

Aircrafts registered gains rang
ing to more than a point.
Rails outpaced industrials on
a percentage basis with a long

Steels produced several strong
spots. So did the nonferrous
metal group. Building issues
perked up, and a long list of spe
cials registered good gains. Utili

The improved tone followed a
smart recovery Thursday. It re
flected in part the recent rise in
money rates indicating a boom
ing industry.

Horror Production
Scheduled Tonight
Ashland All doctors and
nurses planning to attend the
Oregon Shakespearean festi
val's performance of "Titus
Antronicus" this evening are
requested by festival officials
to report seat numbers at the
box office.
William Pal ton, general
manager, says they may be
needed in the theatra this eve
ning and he declares this is
no publicity gag.
As proof, he points out that
one member of the cast tainted
at the dress rehearsal last eve
ning, and others came close to
doing so.
"Titus" was popular in
Shakespeare's time, but Eliza
bethans were notoriously ad
dicted to horror of the most
overt kind. The play, rarely
done in modern limes, is con
sidered one of the most horror
ridden ever written.
Don Gunderson will appear
in the title role and William
Oyler as Aaron the Moor.
"Titus" plays for the second
and last time Wednesday,
Aug. 29.
