Bar ber, Trail, representing Zone 2. According to county school officials, Zone 2 of the non- high district ceased to exist when consolidation of the of the Shady Cove and Elk Trail schools with Eagle Point became effective July 1. As a result the county boundary board rezoned the county, and in doing so, Griffin Creek school district was taken from Zone 4 and placed in Zone 2. Walker rep resents Zone 2 on the non high board.

The Governor charged the company recently with cut-, ting off the flow of the Snake river for a 50-mile stretch in an effort to save crumbling fish facilities at Oxbow and that this action seriously threatened , the fall salmon run in the Snake. Idaho Power officials have denied the statement that the fish would be seriously ef fected. Gov. Holmes declared Fri day at Pendleton that his in formation on the death of thousands of fish on the Idaho Power dams on the Snake was correct. 'Grossly Misinformed' The governor was replying to charges by the Idaho Pow er Company Friday afternoon that he was "grossly misin formed" when he attacked the Idaho firm for not provid ing adequate fish passage fa cilities during construction of the Brownlee and Oxbow dams. "I have my information from true sources," declared Holmes. "Al Vey of the Ore gon Fish Commission, Phil Schneider of the Game Com mission, and John Davis of the Water Resources Board were on the job investigating all of this information." He said, "I have no reason to doubt that the Idaho Pow er Company bypassed fed eral and state regulations for a certain period last week and shut off the flow altogether with full disregard for the public interests." , n PRINTING PLANT OPENS After operating as a private plant for the past three years, we are now reopening as a commercial printing Job Shop.

Willi InJUS UK n n n n n nn Mm mm The following letter has been distributed within the community. Dear Union Member and family: ' ' Gilman's Dairy has been placed on the "Unfair List" of the Central Labor Council because they refused to abide by the terms of the Teamsters Union agreement. You, as a union family receiving union wages and conditions, should be interested in this matter because, if Gilman's Dairy can let their union help go and hire non-union help, it could happen in other industries. Gilman's Dairy is in competition with Jorgensen's and Snider's Dairies who are union "firms. , This is a serious matter, that concerns each union family in this community. If you are now using Gilman's milk in your home, please call Gilman's Dairy (NO 4-2640) and cancel your deliveries until they have been taken off the "Unfair List" of the Centra! Labor Council. This action by you will help maintain good wages and working conditions for all work . ing people in this area. Yours very truly, Wilbum Ward, President Central Labor Council THE ENTIRE FIRST PARAGRAPH OF THE ABOVE LETTER IS NOT TRUE! 1 1 WE WILL GIVE $1,000.00 TO ANYONE WHO CAN SHOW THAT THE FOLLOWING FACTS ARE NOT TRUE! I! 1. The truck drivers distributing our dairy products are not our employees; they are in dependent businessmen, and not subject to organization by labor unions. 2. No employee has ever lost his job because he was a union member; because he wanted to join a union, or because he refused to join a union. Our employees have made their own choice. 3. All of our employees are making union wages or better. We believe that we are morally bound to pay a fair and honest wage. 4. The management of Gilman's Dairy Farm, Inc., is not opposed to trade unions . . . we simply believe that Americans should have the right to join labor unions, but not be compell ed to do so. 5. Recently, in the office of Gilman's Dairy, Teamsters' officials gave us an ultimatum to fire our present employees within five days or force them to join the union. We did not com ply with this ultimatum. We refused because we felt it was UNFAIR to fire employees who have served us faith fully for many years. WE HAVE NEVER FORCED ANY OF OUR EMPLOYEES TO JOIN, OR NOT TO JOIN A UNION. WE ARE DAIRYMEN, NOT FIGHTERS. WE WISH TO SERVE THE PEOPLE OF THE ROGUE VALLEY WITH THE BEST DAIRY PRODUCTS WE CAN PRODUCE. WE WANT TO DEAL FAIRLY, HONESTLY AND OPENLY WITH OUR EMPLOYEES, OUR CUSTOMERS AND WITH THE TRADE UNIONS IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE BELIEVE THAT CHRISTIAN MORALITY SHOULD BE .CARRIED INTO BUSINESS! WE WISH TO MAINTAIN OUR REPUTATION FOR HONESTY AND INTEGRITY! Our offer of $1,000.00 reward supports our statements. The local Teamsters Union says that we are unfair, because we have taken this position. We are a small business,but any business is as big as its principles. We realize that it may fee costly for us to stand against the power of the Teamsters officials. It would cost us more to sacrifice our principles! We feel that the people of our community should know that the Union pressure tactics which have recently aroused national public indignation, are being used right here in Med ford and Jackson County.
