Bank Manager Says
Campaign Will Keep
The Economy Strong
"Action bv the Medford
Automobile Dealers associa
tion in staging the 10-day
"Keep Medford's Economy
Rolling" campaign is certain
ly a commendable program
that will help keep our city's
economy s t r o n g," Elwood
Hedberg, vice president and
manager of the Medford
, branch of First National Bank
of Portland, said.
These merchandising ef
forts are a good sign of the
strength of our business com
munity, Hedberg said. "For
the great part, the course of
our nation's economy depends
on what individual citizens
do. For that reason the deal
ers campaign to promote a
lively trade in the goods our
people need can help to re
store the steady growth of
our economy," Hedberg con
tinued. Business seems to be in bet
ter condition than is business
Mayor Supports
Program to Help
Medford's "Keep Medford's
Economy Rolling .... You
Auto Buy Now" campaign,
scheduled for May 1 through
10 received endorsement from
Medford Mayor John Snid
er. "The automobile dealers of
this area are to be commend
ed," he said, "for developing
what seems to me to be the
ideal answer to recession psy
chology: more sales. I feel
certain that the whole bus
iness picture here will be
benefited by this all-out ef
fort. My best wishes go to
the planning committee of the
dealers group and to all of
the business community for a
most successful campaign."
Planned Display
Many of the new car deal
ers have planned unusual dis
plays, in addition to the full
line floor models that virtu
ally all of them will be show
ing at values.
Demonstratiton rides will
be featured highlights of the
sales presentations by most
dealers.
A parade, contests, incen
tive awards to the public, new
car buyers and to salesmen
will be a part of the 10-day
promotional period.
Cochairmen of the planning
group, Hugh Coleman and
Darrell Miller, said, "we are
confident that this investment
of money and the time of
over a hundred community
leaders, will be well spent.
It can create a lasting benefit
for the community." -

Whizzing down the turnpike in your new 1958 Flashmobile can give you
a mighty satisfying feeling. Satisfying, too, is the wonderful taste of fresh,
cold milk with every meal! Milk is good and good for you! After all,
it's nature's most perfect food! Enjoy some with every meal and with
those in-between snacks, too!

sentiment, Hedberg said
There is littla mathematical
proof that a severe recession
lies ahead, but there is evi
dence that we can talk our
selves into one, he believes.
The present local promotion
should be of great help to
our business atmosphere, he
added. ,
Bank deposits are up 24
million in Oregon for the
first three months, compared
to the same period in 1957. It
is a gain of cash in savings
accounts, while there has been
a decline in total checking
account deposit balances. . .
. This is another sign that
some have adopted a wait
and - see attitude, the local
banker said. He feels that
spending today for reason
able needs is a healthy stimu
lant to our economy. From
such spending comes business
activities that mean work,
wages and continued payrolls.
If under normal circum
stances you would buy a new
car now, go on and do it, Hed
berg advised, Don't be in
fluenced by talk of recession,
because recessions are con
tinued by those who stop do
ing what they normally do
without particular reason,
thus causing unemployment
and more recession, he con
cluded. The local promotion pro
gram wilf continue through
May 10, with dealers agree
ing to remain open until 9
p. m. each evening during
the campaign. They will not
open on Sunday; it was stated.
Mobile Homes Show
Increase in Sales
Chicago (IP) Sales of mo
bile homes showed an in
creasse for the third straight
year, according to the Mo
bile Homes Manufacturers as
sociation. Robert McMackin, associa
tion president, said that the
number of mobile homes
shipped to dealers during 1957
totaled approximately 140,300
units. He said the increase
:vas slightly more than 600
units over the number pro
duced" in 1956.
McMakin noted that over
size units measuring 10 feet
in width continued to grow in
popularity as the industry
turned out an estimated 50,
500 of the larger rolling homes
in 1957. He said the figure
compared with a 1956 total of
just over 29,500.
Travel trailers popular with
outdoor" enthusiasts, account
ed for 11 per cent of ship
ments, McMakin said.

Civil Service Jobs
Available During
Summer for Pupils
Washington (IP) Attention
high school and college stu
dents scouting summer jobs:
UNCLE SAM WANTS YOU!
A Civil Service Commission
list of summer job openings
with the government range
from typists to park rangers,
from veterinarians to engi
neers, from weather men to
graders of meats.
A student anxious to get
three-months free of his pro
fessor, however, may find his
teacher working right beside
him. A number of govern
ment agencies are also look
ing for college professors to
fill summer jobs.
Most summer -workers are
hired either as student assist
ants or student trainees.
Student trainees must pass
a civil-service test. Frequent
ly, they became full-time gov
ernment employees after grad
uation. Minimum age usually
is 16.
No Examination
No civil service examina
tion is required for student as
sistants. They must seek em
ployment related to their field
of studies and are not allowed
to work more, than 130 days
a year.
High school students gen
erally are paid $246 a month.
College freshmen and sopho
mores get $264 and college
juniors $284.
Summertime typists and
stenographers, hired under a
different program, must pass
a civil service test.
Teachers primarily are
hired for jobs "of a scientific,
professional, or analytical na
ture." They sometimes are re

summer season is over.
Post offices around the
country hire their own sum
mertime workers.
Work-Study Training
Some federal agencies offer
work-study training programs
to college' students in pairs.
One student works while his
partner attends classes. At the

to finish college under this
plan 36 months in school and
24 months on the job. Stu
dents are paid $347 to $306 a
month during their work

Further information can be
obtained from the Civil Serv

like to work also can supply
the data.

SOWING SEEDS
" RABlSHtS
CORK
SOWlNC FOR SUCCESSION OF
Gardening has a language all
its own. You don't need to join
the army to "drill." It simply
means that seed is sown in a
furrow cut in the soil with a
hoe or stick. "Broadcast has
nothing to do with radio or tele
vision. It means to scatter seed
over a wide area of ground. A
"hill" is not a hill at all. To
gardeners it means that a few
seeds are planted in a little
circle. -- '
Most ' vegetables are seeded
in drills (or furrows, if you pre
fer) although a few, such as
leaf lettuce (see diagram) are
broadcast and some, such as cu
:umbers and squash, are planted
in hills.
Annual flowers for. the most
part are seeded outdoors by the
broadcast method. Seeds large
enough to pick up in the fin
gers, such as marigolds and zin
nias, may be placed three to a
hill, the hills being spaced about
a foot apart as shown in the
diagram. i
Before sowing any seed out
doors the soil should be turned
over, fertilized and raked
smooth. As a rule, the smaller
the seed, the shallower it is
planted. -.
Tiny petunias' and snapdra
gon seeds can be pressed gently
into the soil after the seed is
broadcast from the packet.
Nasturtiums, sunflowers, beans
and com can either be pressed
into the soil about a half-inch
or if they are sown in drills, the
furrowed soil should be pushed
back over them to about that
depth.
Fabricated metal products
are made by more than 16,000
U. S. factories.

SOWlNC FLOWER SEEDS
IN 'HILLS IN BORDERS.
CROPS
But to remove any doubt
from your mind as to the depth
of planting seeds, instructions
are always given on the back
of each seed packet.
In the vegetable garden, &
narrow drill for carrots and
beets can be made in the soil
with a pointed stick. Medium
sized drills for radishes and
onions can be made by drawing
the hoe on edge along & taut
cord between stakes that mark
the row. Wide drills for peas
and beans are made by using
the full width of the hoe.
The distance between rows
varies with the crop to be
planted. Carrots, beets, beans
and lettuce are spaced from 18
to 24 inches apart. Corn and
tomato rows go 36 inches apart.
To conserve space or to make
the most of it, radish and let
tuce that go in the ground a
month or more before corn and
tomatoes, are planted between
the proposed cor4 and tomato
rows. This is one form of suc
cession planting.
After the seed is sown and
covered, with soil, it should be
watered with a fine sprinkler.
Keep the ground moist at all
times until germination. It's not
necessary to sprinkle the entire
garden . . . just the seeded drills
or patches. Why encourage
weed seeds to germinate be
tween the rows?
So, in the garden vernacular,
let's all get in and drill and
broadcast and plant in bills.
