SIXTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, October 28. 1956 Plan for Brookings Port Outlined In 1933 by W.J. Ward, Engineer urookings William J. Ward, I treatise of his exDerience and a graduate civil engineer from 'studies of the port and area. Cornell university, in 1933 out lined a plan for improvement of a Brookings-Harbor port. There was before congress. Ward noted, a bill to provide for a survey and plan of improve ment of Brookings port. In January, 1933, the harbor had already "been carefully sur veyed and the soundings taken by sweepings," Ward wrote in a Rocks Removed "During 1916 and 1917," he said, "all rocks in the roadsted on which a depth of 36 feet at low tide was not found, were re moved to that depth by blasting . . . During the summer of 1917, a fine wharf, 1,200 feet long, was constructed into the bay and in all some 350 million feet of lum ber and lumber products and many thousands of tons of gen- The Family Council Editor'! note- The family Council consist! of a Judge, m piychlatrtst, three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women'! editor and two writer!

Yvetta WI tricked him into marriage. Jack W. I just can't love and trust her. Yvetta W. I come from the south of France. There I met an American sodlier and had an af fair with him. I wanted to marry him, but he kept putting it off. Finally, I got desperate and did something very bad. I tricked him and told him I was pregnant. After we were married I told him the truth. All that was four years ago. We have been living in this country for more than two years and I love it. We now have a one-year-old son. I have tried to be a good wife and mother and keep a nice home, but my husband says he just cannot love me be cause of what I did to marry him. He says I did it all to come to America and have an easy life. That's not true. I can't live with him this way. I want to go home to France with the baby, but he won't let me. e Jack W. Naturally, I don't want to lose my- son. Besides, I don't believe in divorce. I have tried to make a good home and be fair with her, but she de mands something I am unable to give her. She demands my com plete love and trust, and she has not earned that by deceiving me. I never deceived her. She knew when we met that I was a soldier and that I had no thought of marriage. I can't help feeling that what she saw in me was a good-natured fool who would provide her with an easier life in America. AH the girls there want to marry Americans. I am not bitter, and I will ad mit that she has tried to run a good home. But I can't make-believe that her deception didn't ever happen. e Tha Council: Both Yvette and Jack made a bad mistake. Their premarital affair got their mar riage off to a bad start, and they must realize that they will have1 to exercise patience and under standing in building their new life. Yvette acknowledges her mis takes and she states clearly what she wants her husband's love or the right to return to her na tive country. What does Jack want? He says that he doesn't want to give up his son. He doesn't want the problems or stigma o divorce. And he doesn't want tc love and trust Yvette, in other words, to come to terms with married life and accept his full role as a husband. But what does he want? From his statement it appears that he simply wants to blame Yvette. 'All the girls there want to marry Americans," says Jack righteously and resentfully. But what about a certain Am erican serviceman, one Jack W., who wanted to have relations with a foreign girl and casually leave her behind? Who is more to blame? Jack shuns guilt, but his con science is troubling him. When it bothers him, he prefers to pul the blame on Yvette. He is bein cowardly and unmanly. He needs to accent his full share of re sponsibility for the premarital mistake. Yvette, on the other hand, must realize that she used one of the oldest and most despised of tricks to snare her husband. She cannot expect him to treat her as though this never happen ed. It will take time and patience to live down this deception and prove that she is an honest and worthy wife. She should not de mand a showdown but try harder to build a basis for more love and respect from her husband. (Copyright 1956, General Features Corp.) Read and Use Claasllled Adi r READ What the Editor of the Ashland Tidings Has to Say About Tom Reeder Reprint from Issue of Oclober 20 The results of a preferential poll taken among members of the Jackson County Bar association to de termine their opinion on the candidate best qualified for the office of district attorney reflects most favor ably on Thomas Reeder, the Democratic nominee. Mr. Reeder received 36 votes while the incumbent Walter Nunley, candidate for re-election on the Re publican ticket, received 15. The ballot was conducted by secret vote with almost all members of the legal profession in the coun ty sending in their ballots so the result may be accept ed as fully representative of the opinion of members of the Jackson County Bar association. This perferential poll, with its very conclusive vote in favor of IMr. Reeder, is likely to have consider able bearing on the decision reached by many voters who have not yet made up their minds on how they will vote for district attorney. It indicates that a sub stantial majority of the members of the legal profession in this county do not believe that Mr. Nunley has done a eood job as district attorney and that they feel the office would be better conducted under the direction of Mr. Reeder. There are. in the bar. as in any profession groups and cliques and undoubtedly some of the attorneys tak ing part in the preferential poll have tangled with the district attorney in court. This could account for some opposition to his re-election, hut certainly not for the preponderance of opposition shown by the ballot. Mr. Reeder, who has made several visits to Ash land in behalf of his campaign, has made an excellent impression with those he has called on and he is likely to pick up a good many Reoublican votes in this end of the county for his evident sincerity impresses those he contacts. aF - Is A " ,tf ELECT A Responsible District Attorney THOMAS J. REEDER Former assistant Attorney eral freight" had been handled He said the lumber and freight was handled "without one cent of damage to ships, cargo or to equipment." The dock still was standing in 1933. Breakwater Protection Ward wrote that a breakwater, between 2,000 and 3,000 feet long, "will probably be recom mended." Protection from such a breakwater, he said, "will per mit the construction of many wharves, all that would ever be necessary to care for a city of many thousands, and to dock ships sufficient to supply all of southern Oregon, regularly and safely." In addition, a small inside har bor "could be made" by "a jetty from the Chetco river," which would confine the river flow and its tidal basin into the area pro- Morse in Left-Handed Shake With Well-Wishers Eugene lU.R) Sen. Wayne Morse was shaking well-wishers' hands with his left hand Friday. The campaigning senior senator injured his hand at Corvallis last night when a car door close on it. "Isn't this an awful thing to happen to a politician?" he cniipned as he held the injured hand aloft for his University of oicon audience to see. tected by the breakwater. The plan suggested by Ward would "give ... an ideal arrange ment." Larger ships would dock at the wharves, and smaller ves sels would either use the break water area or the Chetco river, he said. "The cost of this work," Ward wrote, "would be low as there are ample quantities of suitable rock readily adjacent to the con struction . . . Two or two and a half million dollars would do all the work that the govern ment would- be called upon to perform." No Additional Cost He noted that there would be "no additional cost in yearly dredging or in expensive main tenance. The plan is most feasa ble and very economical." To connect Brookings with in terior valleys, Ward mentioned possibilities of constructing a railroad eastward along the Chet co river to Tincup creek, where a runnel "of some 6,100 feet would penetrate into the waters of the Illinois river at an eleva tion of not much over 1,200 feet and some forty miles would be furnished in which to make the climb." Ward noted that with agricul tural resources of interior val leys, and timber resources of mountain areas as well ss miner al possibilities, "the railroad should soon pay, once normal conditions prevail." Ward lived in Curry county from 1906 until his death in 1936. He was scouting timber and locations for a large lumber and box company, which was then located in St. Louis. when you drive the '57 PLYMOUTH suddenly it's I960 TRUCK TRACTOR CUSHIONS REBUILT RECOVERED MIKE'S PHONE 2-2990 MEDFORD 621 E.
