Another good'reason why it pays
to insure your car with Allstate.
Here's a feature of Allstate's broad protection
that could save you 50 to 100 dollars someday:
' When you carry Allstate Collision in
surance, and hit another car insured
by Allstate, you are not required to

"pays your repair bills in full.
This feature is especially important when you
consider that over 4,000,000 of your fellow

to other problems, as standing
in the way of the community's
progress.
They suggested that it was
difficult to induce new indus
tries to move into a "high
tax situation."
Mayor Presides
Mayor John Snider presid
ed at the meeting, held at the
Rogue Valley Country club,
and asked some of the guests
to voice their off-the-cuff opin
ions as. to what the chamber's
program should try to ac
complish. Some of the suggestions
were:
State Representative Eve
lyn Nye-"Taxes are the big
gest problem we have to over
come." State Senator Dr. Edwin
Durno-"Medford is a wonder
ful place and we should tell
people about it. We should
beautify the city with shrubs
and flowers and pave and
curb some of our 'asphalt
trails'."
Robert Duncan, speaker of
the Oregon House of Repre-sentatives-"We
should make
sure that the chamber of
commerce represents every
one. It should expand its
geographic and occupational
bases and enlist the support
of the laboring man and peo
ple of differing political be
liefs. To enlist new businesses
and industry we should em
phasize the affirmative as
pects of Oregon rather than
concentrating on its defects.
We basically have good roads,
a good school system and a
good institutional program.
The tax field in the last few
years has been improving."
Diversified Industry
Otto Ewaldsen, businessman
-"We should look for diversi
fied industry that will suit
itself to our geography, such
as electronics industries. But
the big problem, state-wide, is
one of taxes."
Frank Bash, businessman
"So far industry has come to
us because we've lacked the
money to go to them. Now
we have a chance to take the
initiative."
Tony Lausmann, business-man-"We
need a public rela
tions program. Every civic,
business, and professional
group should tell its story
to the people of Jackson
county."
Jennings Pierce, business-man-"We
should tell people
more about the chamber of
commerce and we should get
a home for the chamber. A
community of our affluence
shouldn't have a chamber of
commerce that tourists can't
even find."

'Playhouse 90' Makes
Rather Unhappy Choice
In 'Second Happiest Day1
By WILLIAM EWALD
UPI Correspondent
New York (DPD CBS-TV's
Playhouse 90 declared .its re-
cess
for the regular season
with "The
Second Hap
piest Day," a
rather unhap
py choice.
The play,
adapted by
Steven Geth
ers from a
novel by John
Phillips (he's
William EwahJ John Mar
guard's son) was a curious hy
brid: A mixture of Scott Fitz
gerald type people and Mar
quand point of view.
What's more, it received
some curious performances
an inadequate one by Mar
garet O'Brien, a very solid
one by Judith Anderson, a
woeful one by Fay Wray and
a see-saw one by Tony Ran
dall. Randall bore the brunt
of the proceedings and pass
ed an uneven night at some
points, particularly an early
drunk scene, he was excel

Wagon Caravan
Reaches Cokeville
Cokeville, 'Wyo. - (UPD - The
covered wagons of the Ore
gon Centennial wagon train
negotiated the steep trail from
Dempsey Basin to Cokeville,
Wyo., Thursday. Rough locks
made of a piece of channel
iron placed under the wheels,
were used to prevent the
wagons from speeding out of
control.
The caravan was traveling
historic Sublette cut-off, a
short-cut from the Little Col
orado Desert to Fort Hall,
Idaho.
The road drops 2,000 feet
in elevation in about one-half
mile. All wagons made the
descent without mishap and
rolled on to a campsite in
Cokeville, population 400.
A band of Indians attacked
the wagons as the members
were preparing for supper.
The band of scantily-clad red
skins wearing warpaint and
carrying lethal looking weap
ons, were beaten off. Wagon
master Tex Serpa said they
could be one of several bands
of white renagades the wagons
had encountered during the
trip. It was later learned they
were a group of youths from
Cokeville High school.
The caravan, was scheduled
to reach Idaho today and head
for Montpelier where a second
load of mail was to be picked
up and carried to Oregon.
Tigard Sanitation
Chief Wins Award
Miami Beach, Fla. - (UPD'-
Verne C. Reierson. Tigard
sanitation chief for the Ore
gon State Board of Health,
was named winner of the 1959
Walter S. Mangold award as
the nation's outstanding sani
tarian at ceremonies here
Thursday.
The award was Dresented
at the 23rd annual banquet of
tne national Association of
Sanitarians educational con
ference.
Reierson has been with the
Oregon State Board since
1946. He is a cast nresident
of the Oregon Public' Health
association, Oregon Associa
tion of Sanitarians, and a rjast
regional vice president of the
National Association of Sanitarians.
ments, a crying bit, the love
scenes, he was off-target.
To compound the difficulty,
the drama's dialogue was
weirdly teeter-totter. Many
of its lines had crisp and
bounce, many more were em
barrassing: "He shot himself
right through the guts he
never had." "He's lost . . .
lost like his father ... like
me." To a man going to the
piano-"You play something
soft while I drink something
hard."
Adolescent Fantasy
The play itself trembled on
the lip of adolescent fantasy:
Young man rocketing to the
top job, joining the top set,
snaring the top girl, all with
out much more talent than'
the knack of insulting the
wrong people. A bid was
made to retrieve the play's
innards by giving it an ironic
twist, but I found the irony
rather incredible, too.
I should tack on one final
note about a love scene be
tween Miss O'Brien and Ran
dall about midway through.
It was . . . well, I really
don't know what to say . . .
except that it wasn't.
What do you mean .. .

Discoverer IV
Satellite Fails
To Go in Orbit
Vandenberg Air Force Base,
Calif.-OJPE-Air Force scientists
may disclose today why Dis
coverer IV failed to place in
orbit a satellite which its
launchers hoped to recover
from space for the first time.
Scientists presume that
after no radio signals had been
picked up by tracking sta
tions, Discoverer IV burned
up as it hit the dense atmos
phere. A similar fate occurred
June 3 to Discoverer- IH,
which carried mice in its cap
sule. Thor Sent Aloft
' At Cape Canaveral Thurs
day night the Air, Force sent
an intermediate range Thor
ballistic missile on a blazing
flight toward a target area in
the Atlantic 1,500 miles away.
Unlike the Discoverer launch
ed at Vandenberg, which
failed in its objective of orbit
ing the earth, the Canaveral
Thor was a single-stage ve
hicle which was supposed to
hurl its nose cone 1,500 miles
across the Atlantic. The target
was a circular area of ocean
near Wantigua "Island in the
West Indies. The Air Force
did not disclose results of the
test.
Gathered Speed
The seven-story high rocket
rose slowly from its pad at
2:47 p.m. (P.S.T.) and then
gathered speed. It looked like
a vanishing, upsidedown Ro
man candle as flame roared
from its tail and ' it headed
southward into an intended
polar orbit.
"The main thing we want to
do is recover one of these
things," a spokesman said.
"It's strictly a hardware test."
Two previous Discoverer
shots failed to return so-called
life capsules to earth.
Rat Bites Fatal
To New York Boy
New York (UPD A three-month-old
boy died Thursday
of multiple bites from a rat
or rats which invaded his car
riage in his mother's kitchen.
The city health department
said it was the first death
ever recorded as resulting
from rat bites, although 262
bite cases have been reported
so far this year.
The infant, Richard Fox,
died of shock resulting from
the bites less than an hour
after his mother had been
wakened by his screams.
