9 Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF- ABIG BROADWAY STAR had been fighting a losing bat-, tie with the Demon Rum for years, was finally warned by his doctor that if he didn't climb on the wagon he'd be a gone goose in six months. I know you can't .-stop J I cuiiipieieiy ux uae any, added the doctor, "so Til let you take four ounces of whisky a day no more and no less for three weeks as a taper-ing-off process. At the end of the three vreeks, the star staggered into the doctor's office fried to the gills. "You disobeyed my instruc tionsl' exclaimed the doctor angrily. "Honest I didn't," contradicted the lush. "Jus four ounces of whisky each, day no more no less." "Then how," demanded the doctor, "did you get so in toxicated on so little whisky?" "My dear fellow," blustered the actor, "do you think you're the OA'LY doctor I consult?'' Jeremy Jones was locked out of the house by Ms Irate wife the other night. He tried to pull the wool over her eyes with the wrong yarn. 1959, by Bennett Cert Distributed by Ens Features Syndicate. Cities Faced With Providing Better Transportation Deschutes Sheriff Named Assoc. Head Portland - d'PD - Deschutes county Sheriff Forest Sholes was elected president of the Oregon County Sheriff's as sociation here Friday at- the group's annual convention, j Sheriff George Miller, Linn I county, was named vice presi dent; and Charles Strawn, Coos county, secretary-treasurer.

(Editor's note: Medford Mayor John Snider returned Thursday night from a con vention of the American Municipal) association in Denver, Colo. Following are his comments concern ing the AMA's highways committee, of which Snider is a member, in relation to problems facing southern Oregon communities.) By JOHN W. SNIDER Medford Mayor The American Municipal Congress, which just, ended in Denver, was attended by more than 1,000 municipal of ficials who gatnered to ex change infonmation on traffic, parking, street use, transit, finances and other aspects of "Better Transportation for Your City." The AMA Highways com mittee, of which I am a mem ber, met in advance of the Congress to consider changes in policy regarding AMA Highway resolutions to the general membership. Because the trend indicates that 4 out of 5 citizens will live in or near an American city, municipalities are faced with the - absolute need for providing better transporta tion. Cost of Delays The cost of delays in the movement of people and ma terials by failure to provide adequate transportation facil ities is a cost that can never be recovered. It is also noted, of extreme local interest, that industrial development fol lows only where communi ties have provided good street and highway systems. A good transportation pro gram must be based on the metropolitan complex, rather than just on a city, because autos are not respectors of imaginary city limits. Plan ning must be done with ex treme consideration for the projected planning of our sis ter cities in the valley, the county road department and the state highway department. There must also be . a bal ance, and this 'is highly im portant, between the need for rapid transportation through direct routes and the econom ic impact of street and high way location and relocation. Pleased With Progress In comparing the Medford area with many others throughout the country, I am well pleased with the prog ress we are making in both the abatement and preven tion of traffic problems. We are extremely fortunate in having a progressive and co operative state highway de partment, so evidently lack ing in some other states. In summary, the problem is how to incorporate all the facets of transportation into an integrated, workable, prac tical, cohesive whole, each in its proper place, and each giv en the means and opportuni ty to function at its maximum. The area with such a mas ter transportation plan is al most assured of a prosperous, healthy, thriving future. I be lieve that such a cooperative program can and will be de .veloped in southern Oregon and that we may reasonably expect to be ready for the transportation problems re sulting from a tremendous population growth.
