For Department Drill
Central Point-A fire in the
Camp White area last night
served a dual purpose, Central
Point firemen reported.
The 60 by 160-foot frame
building owned by Cascade
Wood Products was burned
purposely to make way for
new construction by the firm.
Burning also provided fire
drill for the rural depart
ment. Six district vehicles
stood by.
The building once served
the former Army base. It was
used by Cascade as lumber
storage space. Now the firm's
manufacturing, plant will be
erected on the; site. Construc
tion actually began this morn
ing. V A tractor was used; yester
day to collapse the old struc
ture. Firemen reportedly had
to borrow matches to ignite
the building.

duced about 360 million
pounds of nickel, or approxi
mately 75 per cent of the free
world's entire supply.

Industrial Shares
Hit Record High
New York - (UPD - Industrial
shares struggled to a new rec
ord high again today-their
fourth session cf advance.
A half dozen strong spots
provided the. lever which lift
ed the average. They were
Goodyear, Allied Chemical,
International Paper, , General
Foods, Union Carbide and
Chrysler-all up 1 to 2 points.
These gains more than offset
losses of 1 or 2 points in Al
coa, Eastman and DuPont.
Elsewhere the industrials
balanced off small gains and
losses. The market as a whole
was highly irregular. The oils
lost their snap and most of
them receded fractions. Alu
minum issues weakened. Cop
pers strengthened. Some
drugs fell sharply. Merck at
its low was off 4 and Ameri
can Home Products off 13A.
They-recovered some of the
losses. .
Steel shares slipped back in
most instances despite glow
ing earnings reports still com
ing in. Rails turned down with
Baltimore & Ohio off a point.

Judge Tells of
Need for Tax Base
Jackson county residents
should give consideration to
establishment of a tax base,
zoning, home rule and ' a
countywide garbage disposal
system, County Judge Earl
Miller declared yesterday in
a talk to Medford Kiwanians
at Rogue Valley Country club,
He was guest speaker at the
service club's "county court
day." Commissioners Chester
Wendt and Ralph James also
were honored. Wendt is t'Ki-
wanis member.
Miller pointed out, that the
budget is the 'biggest item
that the court is responsible
for. He spoke of the large
revenue from federal forest
lands and warned that some
time, from economic reasons,
this money could be reduced,
That's why, he said, attention
should be given to voting a
tax base.
The judge spoke of the
growing density of population
outside the cities and the
problems of sanitation and
water getting out of hand in
some sections. Sometime in
the future zoning will be a
necessity, he maintained.
Yesterday was "loud shirt"
day also at the Kiwanis
luncheon. Prizes went to
President Tom Anderson,
Harry Barker and Ed Hoppe.
