6 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Sunday, November 16, 1958 Holmes Says He May Enter Public Relations Field Salem -(CPD-Gov. Robert D. Holmes told a meeting of the Oregon Association of Broad casters here Friday that he hopes to go back into a field "relating to broadcasting" when his term is over next January. The governor mentioned the possibility of a public re lations job in the Portland area, although his plans are Indefinite. Radio broadcasters were gathered for their semi-annual business meeting featur ing a reception for members of the 1959 legislature. The governor, himself a former radio man from As toria, reviewed the "rewards and heartaches" of his less than two years in office and said if he had his major de cisions to make again, he would do things exactly the same way. Greatest Reward He said his greatest reward as governor was getting to know the people and the great economic potential of Oregon. The eovernor urged broad casters to take a more active role not only in reporting but "forming the political ca mate" and aiding the ecen omic development of the state. "You've eot to take sides whether you're right or wrong," he said. Reporting of his adminis tration by all media has been better than in the past, but "there is still a long way to go" in informing the public of what its state government Is doing. Gov. Holmes saia. The broadcasters elected Gordon Capps of radio sta tion KSRV, Ontario, as secretary-treasurer of their or ganization succeeding C- S. Shuled, KERG, Eugene, who is leaving the broadcasting field. The group is also looking for a new general manager to replace Jim Frost, who will start teaching full time at the University of Oregon next year. Next meeting of the OAB will be at Eugene April 3-4.

I Buried Treasure by (k Two Simple Designs Have Diamond quilting and rib bing are two of ' the simplest designs possible to find in glassware, and since some of the pieces on which they are found have a value almost astronomical it is well to know them. Diamond quilting is noth ing other than crisscrossed lines that leave plain diamond shapes between. Ribbing is merely a series of straight parallel lines in the glass leav ing a plain space between. In other, words, diamond quilting and ribbing are the most elemental geometric de signs. Because of that, they are not especially attractive and hence are not used so very much now or for many years. Nonetheless, if you come across glassware that has it, give serious attention to buy ing it. Two pieces I saw recently will serve to illustrate its value. One was a celery vase. Two inches down from the slightly flared lip there was a three-inch wide band of dia NEW COUNTRIES CREATE The creation of new coun tries, such as the new repub lic which French Guinea voted to become in a recent election ordered by de Gaulle, is apparently creating a new trend in stamp collecting. At least, one stamp dealer. friend of mine thinks so -thanks , to his discovery that within a week after the elec tion he had sold out all his more valuable French Guinea stamps. He had had four of the most valuable - a five-franc, green and yellow - green col ored item carrying the pic ture of a native shepherd. They are priced at $15 in Scott s catalogue. But since French Guinea stamps had been slow moving he had had the four for over two years - he had priced them at $10 each "I didn't notice they were selling," he said, "until a cus tomer asked for one and I found they were all gone. Now I'll have to start buying them." COIN ENCLOSED IN GLASS Every once in a while some one comes across a paper weight or other piece of glass that contains an old coin, but if you ever do, remember the coin is worth much more in the glass than out of it. . An enthusiastic coin collec tor found a paperweight re cently that contained a 1796 quarter eagle, one of the first $2.50 gold pieces the country produced. The coin was in fine condition even after he had removed it by means of a single blow with a hammer. There are two kinds of 1796 quarter eagles. One has 16 stars on the face; eight on either side of the word LIB ERTY which lies abow the female head that forms the coin's chief design feature. The date appears below the head. The other doesn t have the stars, and though it is the better looking of the two, it is the less valuable - worth only $200 to $250 as against $300 or more. The kind the coin collector had broken out of its glass Dr. McKay io Open Dr. Donald G. McKay, 802 Crater Lake ave., Medford, has returned to the valley to set up a chiropractic prac tice soon at the corner of Fourth st. and Oakdale ave. A graduate of Medford Lab fo Study Eye Diseases Planned . Portland-IUPD-The first labo ratory in the Pacific North west for the study of infecti ous and inflammatory dis eases of the eye is being set up at the University of Ore gon medical school here. Establishment of the re search laboratory is made possible from contributions of the Knights Eye Foundation, Inc., according to J. J. Adams, of the medical school. Dr. Robert P. Burns, now at the Institute of Ophthal mology at Columbia Univer sity College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York, will be the first director of the laboratory. Samuel Rogers, the English banker and poet, declined the poet laureateship after Words worth's death in 1850. ' s Glassware High Values mond quilting. The rest of the way down the vase, which tapered to a blunt cone-shape .resting on a three-inch circu lar base, it had vertical rib bing. The piece was in clear glass. The workmanship was rather crude. Its origin was unknown except that it was probably a product of the 1850s. But the price on it was $275, and a collector I knew was giving serious thought to buying it. The other piece was a bar rel-shaped tumbler. This, too, had a plain lip and a band of diamond quilting, but about one inch wide. That was fol lowed by two bands of rib bing, but each band was on the diagonal, the upper band pointing to the upper right, the lower to the upper left. The tumbler, that may have been roduced by the same firm as the celery vase, had already been bought by the collector. He had paid $35 for it and felt he had made a good buy. NEW TRENDS IN STAMPS As to the nature of the new trend, he thinks it is a con centration, particularly by young collectors, on collecting only the stamps of new coun tries. They find it easier to acquire a. complete collection of a new country's stamps be cause they can buy them as they come out. Further, the trend seems to be even more marked in the case of those countries with only a short colonial his tory such as French Guinea It would cost a small fortune to collect the stamps of the Union of South Africa, for example, because of the rarety of South African stamps un der a colonial administration. In contrast, except for the five-franc French Guinea item mentioned above, that was put out in 1904, one could prob ably get a complete collection of its colonial issues for a total of $100. And that, of course, would be an excellent foundation on which to build a collection of the new re public's stamps. SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED shell was the former. He was delighted with it, of course. 'He had paid $100 for the junk in which he found it. But he was most unhappy when he took it to a dealer who had agreed to buy it. The dealer was still willing to take it, but not for $200 which he had formerly offered. All he would then give was $125. The dealer had sense. At $125 he could sell it at a satis factory margin of profit. And if it had been in the glass he could have still sold it at a satisfactory profit even though he paid $200. In fact, he would probably have made relatively more. The reason is that the glass in which the gold piece is en closed has a value that is at least as great as that of the coin, and in a great many cases far more so. Some paperweights, for example, have brought $1,000 or more, and without containing the added value of a rare coin.

Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport Christmas Seals Being Sent to Area Residents Christmas Seal letters will be mailed to residents of Jackson county this week end by the Jackson County Tuber culosis and Health association. The Christmas Seal letters make up the annual campaign to raise funds to carry out work against tuberculosis, as sociation officials have point ed out. Officials said the fight against tuberculosis still con tinues, despite the opinion of many people. Dr. A. Erin Merkel,' county health officer, reported that up to Nov. 1 this year there have been 22 cases in the county. ' Of the 22 cases reported here, one was a barber, one a waitress, five were house wives and mothers, two stu dents (16 and 11 years old), five veterans, three laborers, one merchant, and one busi nessman. Fewer Deaths There were fewer deaths during the year, but almost as many cases of tuberculosis were reported as in an aver age year, officials pointed out. Use of newer drugs and surg ery shorten the hospital stay and have resulted in closing one tuberculosis hospital in the state, they noted. Tuberculosis patients must continue under medical sup ervision for many months after they, are discharged from hospitals, association representatives noted. Officials said the emphasis in 1958 has been on Tesearch, and of the 38 projects receiv ing National Tuberculosis as sociation grants, nine are News About Books From the Library Following is a list of books received in the Medford pub lic library, headquarters for the Jackson county library system.

Others are testing a promising vaccine made from an avirulent strain of tubercle bacilli. Another research project which the local unit contrib uted directly, was the blood test for detection of active tuberculosis. If trials in the latter research are successful, officials said, this may be a case finding and diognostic tool. Several other approaches to eradication of tuberc u 1 o s i s are being studied, but funds are not available for all ap plications of the research approaches.
