Main Medtord Chamber Progress Is Reviewed at Luncheon A $50,000 annual budget and an increase of 250 members are aims of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, a cham ber roundtable luncheon group was told yesterday. Dwight Houghton, assistant manager of United States Na tional bank and chairman of the chamber finance division, was the speaker at the Jackson hotel meeting. He discussed Medford's last 20 years' and its future. Houghton said the chamber operated on a $5,000 to $7,500 budget in the late- 1930's. The budget goal for 1960 is $50,000. Put Town on Feet Camp White, when it was in stalled, gave Medford a "trans fusion," Houghton stated. "It put this town on its feet." And, he added, business did not decline as expected when the camp was taken out. Bank deposits today are about 20-'times what they , were that many years ago, Houghton said. The chamber is operating on a $30,000 annual budget today, and no longer finds it necessary to "pass the hat." Reviewing - Chamber activi ties, Houghton said the organ ization has purchased 68,000 folders, pamphlets and like ma terial to advertise the area; has paid for economic research and development in connection with a new hospital and the chip sup ply and pulp manufacturing situation, and has secured a study of water uses in the Rogue river basin, now being made by the Oregon State Water. Re sources board. Chamber committees have pressed for an equitable tax pro gram and a new route to Klam ath . Falls, secured an industrial water supply for the Mason Ehr man industrial site, promoted a new armory, and made strides toward off street parking. . To "build a better business climate" in the community, the chamber intends to attract wood waste using industry, expand wholesale warehousing, work to ward an equitable tax plan to bring industry and hold invest ment capital here, promote rapid skip-stop air service to Portland, create greater diversity of indus try and jobs, secure county zon ing, acquire more tourist dollars and double Medford's conven tion business, and bring more income from use of water re sources. In accomplishing these aims, Houghton said, the chamber needs tools: "the brains of man, and his money." A membership drive is under way through which the organiza tion hopes to add 250 to its present 660 membership. A re cent study revealed that approxi mately 900 businesses or busi nessmen in the area are not chamber members. George Buried In Native Soil Vienna, Ga. OPl Former Sen. Walter F.
