A Question To the Editor: May I ask Mr. Kinney, president of the Jackson County Fruit Grow ers league, one question? The shiny tourist dollar and the sweaty dusty labor dollar make the same delightful jingle in the cash register. Why do we try so hard to at tract the former and fail to hire a man merely because he will spend practically all of his hard-earned pay check right here in the valley where he earned it?????? Mrs. M. M. Hamilton Route 3, Box 242 Medford Fruit Picking To the Editor: I am very much in disagreement with the write-up on the fruit ex changes and all the big shots' views on the fruit working problem. I can answer in two small words the reason for worker shortage in the pear harvest: More money. They pay 20c in Lake county. Pick ers are running over each other down there. Boxes, are prorated, right now, and still some cheap , ranchers have Mexican help. Even 18c a box here would draw more pick ers than you could use. I received 10c per box right here in Medford back in the 40s, when you could get park ing for trailer for $2.50 to $4, and buy groceries for half what you pay now. Eleven to 14 cents is all the growers here pay year in and year out. Sure, we save very little money. We have our own transportation problems, gas is high, upkeep on trailers and cars is high, everything has gone up and up but not our wages for picking. They use every excuse to get Mexican labor here, but the real reason is trying to save 2 or 3 cents on a box of fruit. I get a laugh out of the one, "the picking is for strong men." I have had my neck broken, my little wife weighs 110 pounds. We will pick pears with any two Mexicans you bring across the border. Grade every box and if we don't out-pick and out-grade them, our picking is free. Take a look around some free camps. I just got moved out of a free one only two weeks ago. Bad sewer system, sure, but when I had to pay $6 a week for rent I still picked 12c pears. I have picked fruit since 1928. Take that from me and 1,000 v more just like me, I don't know" anything else, where to go or what to do. Just close the border, leave the Mexicans, and pay a wage that we can live on. Quit call ing us thieves and riffraff they can talk to a Mexican like he is a dog, but a white man talks right back. No sir, Mexicans is not the 64 dollar question this time. Better for get them. The relief rolls will reach from coast to coast this winter, and Mexico will laugh. From a disgusted fruit picker. Ivan Campfield P. O. Box 411 Phoenix, Ore.

SP 2-2939 Rodeos of Other Days To the Editor: On the front page of the Mail Tribune Monday, Aug. 18, there was an article about the Rodeo that just finished playing here for three days under the sponsorship of esteemed Med ford Junior Chamber of Com merce, and the Chamber was lamenting the fact that they didn't make so good on it. Undoubtedly the Jaycees deserve a pat on the back for some projects that they push, but off hand I can't think of one. They seem to have the collective id' a that no one but themselves have the abili ty to think. That all they have to do is to suggest peo ple do something and sit back and reap the rewards. Such as "Write 'Em, Invite Them to Oregon." The old Western hospitality is dead and buried and completely out of date. And while they are here we will take them for $12.50 each a day. The same type of reason ing was used in sponsoring the Rodeo. The entry fee' was $25 per contestant, for each event. Tickets were on sale for from $2 and some cents to $3.50 or better. The top money in each event was to be a prince ly $100. The $100 might look like big money to the Cham ber heads, but as a few years back, rodeo contestant, the writer would like to inform them that in those days the prize money ran from $100 to $750 in the different events and in addition the top bronc rider generally got a silver mounted saddle, worth from $250 to $500, and top men in other events were given sil ver mounted equipment that ran into pretty good sums over and above the cash prizes. Tickets were $.50 for kids that had it, the kids that didn't have it were let in free. General admission was $.75 to $1, Grandstand $1.25 to SI. 50. and that was the rule . even in the worst wide-place- 1... . 1 1 A m-tne-roaa towns we naa to ride in. Oh yes the entrance fee was generally $5 per con testant, per event. Conse quently, everybody came, the best performers came, the people came, the stock was of the best quality, everyone enjoyed it and had fun and didn't feel that they had been ! robbed. The show expenses were generally guaranteed by some public spirited businessmen. So think it over, "Cham ber." I like that name, it is such a nice inclusive vehicle for some of their ideas. Larry Turner i Route 1, Box 383 Central Point Rogue . River All high school students and new elementary students enrolling in the Rogue River schools are asked to register for class es on Aug. 27, 28 and 29, ac cording to Supt. John B. Harr. Registration hours are from 9 a:m. to noon and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 27; from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Aug. 28; from 9 a.m. to noon and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 29.

Thursday, Sept. 4, classes will be held all day with the cafeteria and buses running on regular schedule. Enroll Wednesday First grade students are asked to enroll Wednesday and Thursday, Aug. 27 and 28, in the primary building. All first grade students must bring a birth certificate or other evidence of age show ing they are six years old or will be on or before Nov. 15, the superintendent direct ed. Board policy allows no exceptions, he explained. First graders are asked also to bring a doctor's certificate of health. Those who missed the pre-school roundup con ducted earlier by the Parents Teacher association may ob tain the necessary blanks from the Jackson county health department in the court house in Medford and have the examination given by the family physician. Other elementary students who did not attend Rogue River schools at the close of school are urged to register in the grade school office on the second floor of the main elementary building, Harr said. All high school students who do not register now in the high school office will be signed up for classes which they elected in pre-registra-1 tion here last spring. . Fees will be collected dur ing registration since state law forbids the purchase of high school textbooks by the dis trict. Book rental fee of six dollars is for the entire school year and provides . regular textbooks which would prob ably cost from $20 to, $25 per student, Harr explained. This fee does not include workbooks. Dead Baby's Mother Pleads Not Guilty Montesano, Wash. (UPD Mrs. Darlene Palmer, 21-year-old Porter, Wash., moth er who admitted burying her six-month-old baby, Friday pleaded not guilty to charges of manslaughter and conceal ing a body. The baby, Joyce, was found beneath the back porch of the Palmer residence after the mother had maintained for three days tha the infant had been taken by an un known assailant. Mrs. Palmer was charged with throwing the baby onto a davenport in her home in such a manner that the in fant sustained head injuries from which she' died. After the body was discov ered, Mrs. Palmer told au thorities she found the child dead on the couch. She said she then panicked and buried the infant. n fin ft CLUB Depletion Rate Is Stressed at Hearing Salem (UPD Operating areas rather than county units should be used in fig uring the depletion rate fac tor in timber taxation, timber industry witnesses told a hearing before the State Tax commission here Friday. Roger C. Henselman, mem ber of the legal staff of Wey erhaeuser Timber company, declared that the depletion rate is the most important as pect of the timber taxation problem, owing to the wide variance of rates in some counties. Henselman said the county-wide depletion rate system was extremely injurious to the finances of small school districts having a rapid rate of depletion, as well as being unfair to other classes of tax payers. He also' contended that the county-wide system has an adverse effect on sustained yield operations of timber owners, since it discourages them from planning a long time operation. The hearings, which began July 7, will continue this week with sessions set for Monday, Wednesday and Friday. -in! NEWS G. E. Stitchers The G. E. Stitchers held its final meeting Wednesday last week.
