12 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Orgon, Wedneiday, January 28, 1959 Wait Signals Protect Pedestrian, Chief Says Merlin Man Placed On Parole by Court Howard J. Wolfinger, Mer lin, Ore., Monday in district court was placed on parole for the balance of his one year sentence. He had been sentenced to one year in the county jail Dec. 30 on charges of making a false statement in writing to obtain benefit. M-f "Wait" signals at crosswalk ed, and are set to give the are for the pedestrian's pro tection, Police Chief Charles P. Champlin reminded resi dents this week. There has been an increas ing number of pedestrians violating this signal in recent months, the chief said. He added that he believed such pedestrian the best possible protection in crossing the street. The maximum time that a pedestrian would have to wait to cross a downtown street is 52 seconds, Champlin said, with the average for all the streets between 40 and 45 sec onds. The police department anti cipates the possibility of issu ing warnings to violators, the chief said, and added that if the problem continues viola tors will be cited. ft ' l Jura Sawdust S&H Green Stamps Medford Fuel Go.

Dr. Durno Reviews Some Bills Regarding the Centennial B EDWIN DURNO. M. D 8tl Senator, Jackson County The third week of the Leg islative Assembly is upon us, and we are traveling along at a speed that has no prec edent in re cent sessions. Now that the problem o who is Sec retary of State has been resolv ed, we are Dr. Dnrno. M.D. "Ol api to slow down our tempo, in the opinion of veteran Legisla tors. There have been some 300 bills placed in the hopper of one House or the other and committees have been active ly working on measures as signed to their attention. Most of these bills deal with the expenses of state. First, an appropriation of IV million dollars for the ex penses of this session. With speed and teamwork we hope to save the taxpayer several hundred thousand dollars over the cost of recent ses sions. Baquesls for Money The next batch of bills are those which deal with the re quests for money of the var ious departments which go to make up the administration of state affairs. These are the so-called General Appropria tion bills. During the late summer and fall these esti mates were first given to .the department of finance and administration, which in turn, transmitted the totaled over all needs to the governor. After being reviewed by Gov ernor Holmes, he then in turn, delivers his message and the budget to the legislature. This represents, what in his opinion should be the cost of running the affairs of state : for the biennium 1959-1961. The next two years should cost the taxpayers of the state one billion dollars, 300 mil lion of it to be derived from the general fund. The various department re quests are then referred to the Ways and Means commit tee, the only joint committee of the Legislature, comprised of both senators and repre sentatives. The senate portion is composed of Senators Cor bett (D), Cook (D) and Jean Lewis (D) all of Multnomah, Thiel (D) of Clatsop, Key (D) of Umatilla, Ziegler (R) Ben ton, and Durno (R) of Jack son county. I can assure the voters of Jackson county that this is a dedicated committee, hard working, and at all times placing the business of Government above party pol itics. I hold the highest re gard for every senator on this committee. We are econ omy minded, and we are, re gardless of political affili ation, bent on keeping the cost of Government at a mini mum compatible with exist ing services. The mandate of the people has not been for gotten. Series of Meetings The Ways and Means com mittee has practically all the requests for money before us, and in a series of hearings conducted from 8 a.m. until sometimes 11 p.m. at night we are going over the recom mended budget with a fine tooth comb. Today Monday, Jan. 26, we are going into a full commit tee hearing on the request for money by the Centennial Exposition. Whether we like it or not we are in the busi ness of putting on a Centen nial that will be a credit to our state, and I hope will at tract many more industries, which in turn will provide outlets for our labor force. The entire Commission, of which Mayor John Snider of Medford is a member, has ap peared before us on three occasions. Their plans when carried to maturity will pro vide an Exposition and Trade Fair, expeeded only by the Chicago, New York and San Francisco Fairs of bygone years. And best of all, some, if not all of the money will be returned to the coffers of the state treasury, through revenues received. Interest in Area One item in the budget that will interest the people of southern Oregon is an ap propriation from the Fine Arts section for $12,000 to bring back to the Shakespear ean Festival this Centennial year, many of the former act ors and actresses who thrilled Shakespearean crowds with their performances in t h e early days of the Festival. Another recognition for Ash land,' and richly deserved. Another passing item of in terest is that the grounds of the Exposition and the perm anent improvements, along with the buildings, are the property of a non-profit cor poration, the Pacific Interna tional Livestock company. In event of dissolution, all of the assets will go into our system of higher education. Also, the Forest Products association is constructing a $250,000 permanent structure on the grounds, which will be the future State home of the 4-H Clubs of Oregon. Importance of Project From all that I have writ ten, you can see the tremen dous importance of this pro ject to the whole state. I urge you one and all to support our Centennial in every way that you can. I could go on talking about interesting details of the Cen tennial indefinitely, but I be lieve I have told you enough to make one and all be a part of it. Some other time I will try and give you more sidelights on the Legislative scene, and more on the budget, taxes, education roadside advertis ing, Unemployment Insur ance, and other measures that effect the taxpayer. Some of my friends sent me a big stamp with "V D" across the top, and "vetoed by Durno" on the bottom. All in bright red ink. To my un known friends I say thanks. I hope I may be able to use it wisely. A Senator sitting next to me had a father who was born in 1829. Makes me feel young, even when I come home weary.
