Try and Stop Me
-By BENNETT CERF-
, A DEVOUT racing fan, famous for his incredibly bad judg-"-ttient,
insisted upon betting his last $1,000 on an impos
sible long shot. The nag started at 80 to 1 and not only
finished last, but dropped
cead as it crossed toe fin
ash line.
The fan was bemoan
ing his luck when, to his
. amazement, the bookie
returned his stake plus
eight crisp, new hundred
dollar bills.
"But the horse finished
last," protested the puz
zled fan.
"So what?" shrugged
the bookie. "You don't
think I'd put down a bet
en a horse like that? I
took out an insurance
policy on it!"

JOHNSTON STORES
112 South Riverside
The Medford city council
last night granted Rosenbalm
Aviation Inc. a 10-yrar lease
to operate a crop-dusting firm
at the city airport, and ap
proved two liquor license ap
plications.
The council also ratified
Mayor John Snider's appoint
ments to the various city
boards and commissions.
The applications for liquor
licenses approved were from
the Tower Broiler and Ping's
Gardens.
The application from Ping's
Gardens had been tabled at
last month's meeting because
the council said it had been
advised by the Oregon State
Liquor commission that there
were too many liquor outlets
for the size of the Medford
population. The recomm end
ratio is one outlet per 2,000
population.
No Explanation Given
The council did not explain
why it felt it was all right
to approve the licenses last
night, nor did it say that the
number of outlets had been re
duced since last month.
Tower Broiler, 1296 North
Riverside ave., is the new
name of the former Henry's
Broiler, which had .been turn
ed down on a request for a
liquor license by the council
last month. The establishment
has since changed ownership,
according to lawyer Robert
Boyer, who spoke in favor of
the applicants at last night's
meeting.
The request from the Tow
er Broiler was approved unan
imously and the one from
Ping's Gardens by a five to
two vote.
Rosenbalm Aviation Inc.
I will be the second crop-dust
ing firm at the airport. The
other is Medford Air Service,
which has been in operation
since 1929.
Municipal Judge Alan B.
Holmes, who is a partner in
the new firm, and Walter Nun
ley, representing the Medford
Air Service, engaged in some
debate last night regarding
the financial ability of the
owners of Rosenbalm Avia
tion. Raise Coverage
The council voted to raise
the city's liability insurance
coverage at the airport to $1
million. The raise had been
recommended by the execu
tive committe of the council.
Councilman Robert Baccus,
speaking for the committee,
said the raise was necessary
because a disaster at the air
port could cause the city se
rious financial difficulties if
it is not properly covered.
A request by the Mail Trib
une to have the city vacate
an alley behind its building
was turned down by the coun
cil by a five to two vote. The
council expressed the fear
that authorizing the vacation
of one alley might set a bad
precedent, leading to similar
requests by other businesses.
Upon recommendation of
Fire Chief Gordon Barker, the
council awarded Munnell and
Sherrill, Inc., a contract to
furnish the city with a new
fire hose. It was noted that the
bid of that firm was slightly
more than that of two other
bidders, but it was recom
mended it be accepted as the
brand of hose to be supplied
by Munnell and Sherrill could
be more easily loaded into the
trucks.
An extension of time to Dec.
31, 1959. was granted the Dan
Herder Construction company
for the installation of pumps
at the Berrydale pump sta
tion, which went into opera
tion last year. The extension
was warranted, Duff reported,
because there was a mix-up
in the delivery of the pumps
from the manufacturer.
Approves Purchase
The council approved the
purchase of two pieces of
property for the right of way
of the 10th st. extension, for
$14,000 from Mrs. Alice Egan,
and for $5,500 from Waldo
E. and Elsie M. Tucker.
After a report by the city
manager, the council ap
proved an extra width drive
way for Walt Young, 525
South Central ave. The drive
way, it was explained, will
be used for access to a gro
cery store parking lot.
The council adopted an or
dinance for the segregation of
certain sanitary sewer assess
ments in the Kenwood-Grand-view
district, and corrected
an error in assigning owner
ship to a parcel of land in the
same district.
Assessments Approved
Assessments in the Berry
dale sanitary sewer system
were approved by the coun
cil and plans and specifica
tions for the construction of a
sanitary sewer to serve an
area bounded by Crestbrook
dr., Ellendale dr., Barnett rd.,
and Bear creek, and for the
paving of Summit ave. from
Mary place to Clark st.

Butler Charges
Nixon in Cahoots
With Steel Firms
Washington - (UPD - Demo
cratic National Chairman Paul
M. Butler has charged that
Vice President Richard M.
Nixon has secretly agreed to
let the steel companies raise
prices next year if they help
elect him President.
Butler made the charge in
a speech to the Woman's Na
tional Democratic club in
which he discussed Nixon's
role in settlement of the steel
dispute.
Cites Publication
Asserting he had a "very
respectable Republican
source" to support his charge,
Butler cited this paragraph
from the Wall Street Journal's
Tuesday edition:
"Although the new agree
ment will boost steel company
costs sharply, the major pro
ducers have agreed to forego
any general price increases
several months, possibly
through 1960. This agreement
was part of an unwritten un
derstanding with Vice Presi
dent Nixon and Labor Secre
tary James P. Mitchell . . ."
"Nixon secured the agree
ment to hold off price boosts
until after the election," But
ler said.
Mayor John Snider an
nounced that the first meeting
of the citizen's budget com
mittee will be held Wednes
day, Jan. 13.

Quotes From the News
By United Press International
Peoria, 111. A 14-year-old boy, admitting he stole an esti
mated $50,000 worth of loot in two years and buried some of
the proceeds in his back yard:
"Finally I dug it up as I needed it. But I threw some of it
in the garbage can because it was getting old and torn and
I couldn't spend it."
Washington Rep. John S. Monagan (D-Conn.), stating he
will introduce a bill requiring party conventions to be held
no more than 60 days before the election in order to shorten
the campaigning:
"It seems to me the people get tired of it. They can lake
so much and that's about all."
Chicago Mrs. Ethel Krueger, manager of the Chicago
Anti-Cruelty Society office, expressing regret that a doe that
wandered into the city died from exhaustion after fleeing
police:
"It was scared to death of the people. They didn't under
stand and were scared of it. Why when things are frightened
of one another do they always not understand?"
