OREGON FINANCE COMPANY Locally Owned & Operated Gene Thomas, Manager 46 South Central Blossom Route Set For Pear Festival Early blooming date of pears in the Rogue valley this year has prompted announcement of the Pear Blossom route as a pre-festival event, according to festival officials. The map outlining the route follows the pattern established last year, and is published for the convenience of those not fa miliar with the location of the larger orchard areas. D'Anjou pears are approach ing full bloom this week end, and other varieties will reach the peak of bloom about mid week, according to C. B. Cordy, county horticulture agent. He in dicated a tour of orchard area in the vicinity of Table Rock would be colorful this week end, but that the most ideal time to take the full tour would be about Tuesday or Wednesday. Enough bloom on late varieties of pears will still be in evidence the fol lowing week end to make anoth er tour worthwhile, Cordy said. Festival officials said markers have been prepared and were to be placed on stakes along the route in time for use today. It was pointed out that a drive in almost any area of the valley would take those interested to orchards which make up the more than 10,000 acres in the Medford district.

Municipal Judge Prepares Paper Explaining Rights of Defendants Persons charged with violat ing some law appearing before the Medford municipal court will now be advised of their rights in court from an ex planation prepared by Munici pal Judge Noreen Kelly.

This is possibly your first experience in court and it is desired that you be fully ad vised of your rights .and duties, and that every person who comes here receive fair consideration and impartial treatment in con formity with the highest ideals of American justice. Charges Read "When your name is called, come forward to a position fac ing the Judge.

If you do not fully understand the complaint, you may ask to have it explain ed to you. When you say 'guilty,' it is the same as saying 'I did vio late the law as charged in the complaint.'

When you plead 'guilty,' an immediate hearing is held and you will be given an opportunity to state any facts or extenuating circumstances concerning the case that you may desire the Court to know. You have ad mitted that you violated the law and all that is required is an in formal hearing of all the cir cumstances before the Judge pronounces the penalty: "When you plead 'not guilty, you are entitled to a formal trial to establish the facts. The mat ter will be set for trial at a later date, at which time the burden will be upon the city of Med ford to establish the truth of the charge against you. In every case, there is a presumption of law that you are innocent of the charge until competent evidence proves otherwise, or you enter a plea of 'guilty,' admitting the charge. You are entitled to have a lawyer represent you. Under a plea of 'not guilty,' the Court will fix bail, which must be post ed to guarantee your appearance at the time of trial. r Case To Trial "When your case comes to trial, the burden of proof will be on the prosecution whose wit nesses will appear first and tes tify under oath as to the alleged facts. You (or your attorney) may question each witness upon the matter about which he has testified. When the prosecution has finished, you and your wit ness may testify to your version of the facts. As the defendant, you have the right to' decide whether or not you wish to tes tify yourself; you will not be re quired to do so. If you do, you must answer any proper ques tions the prosecution may ask concerning the matter about which you have testified. After all the evidence has been heard, you have the right to present your brief argument to the Court if you wish. The Judge will then decide, from the evidence prop erly heard in Court, whether you are 'guilty' or 'not guilty' of the offense against you. The complaint will be dismissed if you are found 'not guilty,' if you are found 'guilty' the pen alty will then be pronounced. "If, after trial, you are not satisfied with the Judge's deci sion, you may appeal the case to the Circuit Court if the pen alty imposed includes any Jail sentence or when the fine is more than $20. "Every person has the right to make his own defense, with out counsel, but if you are in doubt as to the-proper course, it is recommended that you con sult your lawyer. "Neither the police officer, the city attorney, the judge nor the clerk gets any part of your fine. They are paid a salary and it makes no financial difference to them whether you are fined or not."
