    Security Market
Aids Progress,
Rowan Explains
The economic progress of
the nation is dependent upon
the security market, accord
ing to James Rowan, who
spoke to the chamber of com
merce roundtable meeting on
Monday noon.
Rowan is a member of the
Foster and Marshall company,
the oldest brokerage firm in
Oregon with continous serv
ice. He told the group to in
vest in stocks is to take ex
cess money and loan it to a
"firm where it will be used to
expand industry, make more
jobs, better jobs, raise the
standard of living and pay
the investor for the use of his
money.
Security laws have been en
acted for the protection of the
investing public and for the
protection of the honest com
panies and corporations, he
said. He urged people consid
ering investing to find out in
formation about the firm be
fore buying stock. It costs
nothing to learn information
from any reliable brokerage
firm, he explained.
The telephone has been the
biggest asset to the stock busi
ness, Rowan said. He told the
group it is possible to call
your broker on the phone and
within two to three minutes
have the deal completed on
the floor of the New York
Exchange.
By use of the telephone it
is possible to sell at once, buy
at once or to find out the
last sale price within a few
minutes, he explained.
Rowan told a slow climbing
economy of Medford com
pared with other cities in the
state which have had sharp
drops and rises. He said the
stock brokerage business in
Medford has undergone a
large expansion in recent
years.

School News...
Crater High School
By JUDI DAVIS
During the past week, ev
ery corner was taken up by
some student with a book,
studying for his semester ex
ams Friday. One whole day
each semester is devoted to
nothing but taking semester
exams. Each period is length
ened somewhat, and activity
period is eliminated. This en
ables students to have a few
minutes extra to complete
their tests.
At Crater, as in some other
schools in the valley, we prac
tice the method of exempting.
The teacher's exempt accord
ing to the .grades and amount
of work put out by the stu
dent during the semester. This
means that the students are
not required to take tests in
that particular class if his
grades and work meet certain
standards. He is then free to
go wherever he pleases dur
ing that class period that he
is exempt, as long as he is
out of the building and off
the school grounds.
Report cards will be out
Friday, and this is the final
evidence of one semester's
work. Then, each student can
see if all of his "corner study
ing" has paid off."
More excitement was going
on Friday at Crater. It ap
peared as if some girls' were
moving in for the week end.
packed into locker's. There
was only one big question on
the minds of some of the stu
dents (besides the semester
tests). "Will they take busses
both nights?" The occasion
was the bus trip to Klamath
Falls for the two game series
over the week end. It was not
known if busses were going
to be taken because of the
weather. As it turned out,
only one bus was taken Fri
day night, and no bus was
taken Saturday night because
of the weather.

i Centennial Fair
Getting Publicity
Throughout World
I Salem News of Oregon's
J.959 Centennial Exposition
i and International Trade Fair,
I focal point of the state's cen
tennial celebrations which an
I estimated 8 million persons
will attend between June 10
and Sept. 17, 1959, is receiv
ing space in some of the
world's largest foreign news
papers, centennial officials
report.
Success of the promotional
campaign abroad to date is
attributed largely to use of
colorful "Oregon ambassa
dor" certificates which have
been presented to leading
government and industry dig
nitaries by Oregon bunsiness
men and women traveling
abroad as special representa
tives of Oregon Gov. Robert
Holmes.
Signed by Holmes
The certificates, produced
by the Oregon centennial staff
and signed by Holmes and
centennial commission chair
man, Anthony Brandenthaler,
appoint the recipient an "Ore
gon ambassador, to serve the
great state of Oregon by ad
vising the people of your na
tion of the one hundredth an
niversary of the Oregon coun
try which will be commemo
rated in 1959."
Centennial staffers said
that more than 1,500 Oregon
ambassador certificates have
been mailed to key business
and government figures from
the centennial offices. Each
ambassador certificate has the
name and country of the re
ceiver typed in with special
Old English type. To date peo
ple in 95 foreign countries
have received Oregon am
bassador appointments.
Oregon residents planning
trips abroad are urged to con
tact the Oregon centennial of
fices in the Jackson Tower in
Portland if they are able to
help promote the centennial
in foreign countries.
Credit Group Ups
Business Volume
The Southern Oregon Pro

extended $3,530,815.07 in
short and intermediate term
credit in 1957 to its member
stockholders in Jackson, Jo
sephine, Coos, Curry and
Douglas counties, Irvin Pat
ten, secretary-treasurer, re
ported today.
Patten said the associa
tion's 1957 volume represent
ed a 17 per cent increase over
the preceding year. While the
bulk of the loans were for
seasonal farm or ranch opera
tions, many intermediate term
loans were made for capital
investment items such as
farm and home improve
ments, irrigation systems, and
milk tanks and dairy equip
ment. On Dec. 31, 1957, the asso
ciation had $235,804 of member-owned
capital and S218,
565 in reserves, according to
Patten. The association also
owns $20,190 in capital stock
of the federal intermediate
credit bank of Spokane, wash.
This is the institution through
which it obtains most of the
money it loans to its farmer
and rancher members. Patten

Rossellini Files
Annulment Suit
Rome (IP) Roberto Rossel

to have his marriage to In
grid Bergman annulled, it
was disclosed today. She is
not contesting the action.
Rossellini filed the suit
shortly after she won a legal
separation from the Swedish
actress, court records showed.
The suit is based on the
grounds that Swedish law did
not recognize Miss Bergman's
Mexican divorce from her
first husband, Dr. Peter Lind
strom, a surgeon.
Ingrid's attorney said she
was "admitting the facts" cit
ed in the Italian movie direc

proxy marriage was null and
void because both parties
were living in Italy.
