Dog Control Measures Will Be
iOn Ballot In City and County
Opponents o og control in
the city ol Meoiord will hav.
jto defeat two measures on
;the primary ballot next Fri
day if dogs are going to con
tinue to run at large within
She city limits.
J One of these measure la for
c?"ntv.wide dog control and
'will be voiU by voters in
jthe entire county, "iiw "her
"measure will be for Medford
lonly, and voted on only by
."city voters.
J Should opponents of dog
.control defeat the measure for
."the city only, and the county
Vide measure should pass, the
Tcity would still have dog con
trol. ; However, if dog control op
5nents In the county should
.defeat the county-wide meas
ure and the city measure
"should pass, then Medford on
ly would have dog control.
'Other Elections
. The city of Rogue River
will vote on its own dog con
trol measure in the primary
Us will county precincts at
Iadrona lane and the Oak
Grove section. Jacksonville
will vote on a similar measure
In the general election.
- The same double opportune
ty for dog control measures
.to pass applies to these areas,
too.
- In all cases on the county
ballot the measure will read:
"For dogs running at large-
Yes, For dogs running at large
-No. This wording is provid
ed for by state law.
In each case where the
measure should pass, the
county is given the primary
responsibility of enforcing
and implementing the law, ac
cording to Gerald J. Scannell
Jr., chief deputy district attor
ney for Jackson county.
The entire procedure for
enforcement and penalties for
violation are provided for by
state law.
Fines Noted
If any of the measures pass,
the county clerk must give
notice in a newspaper for
three consecutive weeks. Aft
er 80 days from the date of
notice, when any dog Is found
running at large in the city,
Wand-Slim Sheath
(jmS
county or precinct, the owner
lb subjected to a fine of $10
for the first offense and $23
for each subsequent offense.
These penalties shall be col
lected in the name of the
state of Oregon, meaning that
violations would be handled
in district court not in munici
pal courts, according to Med
ford City Attorney Joel Reed
t. State ia- :vs that the pen
alties shall be paid into the
county treasury of the county
in which the precinct or city
is situated and kept in a spe
cial fund.
It further says that five
days notice shall be given to
the dog owner before he will
be cited into court for a vio
lation. What Law Means
What the dog control law
means is stated in the ORS as
follows:
"No dog shall run at large
or off of the premises of the
owner or keeper thereof un
less it has a shepherd's muz
zle made of wire and metal
and properly fastened around
his nose and neck sufficiently
strong to prevent him from
biting or injuring any person,
or any sheep, goat or other
livestock or domestic animal.
"When any dog is found
running at large, every chief
of police, constable, sheriff or
deputy of either . . . shall im
pound it." This does "not ap
ply to herdsmen using dogs
for legitimate protection of
his flock."
"All dogs impounded shall
be held in a . . . pound to be
provided by the county court
out of funds obtained from
dog licenses and from the re
demption of dogs so Impounded.
"Any dogs so impounded
shall be held for at least five
days from date of impounding
before being . . . humanely de
stroyed or otherwise disposed
of."
It adds that an owner re
deeming his dog shall pay $1
and the expense of keeping
the dog during the time it was
impounded.
May Be Given Awav
The statutes provide that If
no owner should appear to
claim a dog, it can be given to
a responsible person Instead
of killed.
It is further provided that
all funds collected shall be
turned over to the county
treasurer who shall keep th.m
in a special fund, from which
various costs of enforcement
shall be paid.
Any money in this fund in
excess of $1,000 on Jan. 1 of
each year shall be placed in
the general fund of the county-
Reader says that apparently
the city's only responsibility,
If the law is made effective in
Medford, would be to enforce
it. He said the city council
could probably pass an ordi
nance to help implement the
law if it so desired.
Problem In City
Medford Police Chief
Charles P. Champlin says the
only problem from the city's
standpoint that he sees, would
be that of enforcement. It
would probably mean, he said,
that officers would be spend
ing more time tracking down
dog complaints, catching dogs
and transporting them to the
county pound when they are
found to be in violation of the
law.
City Manager Robert A.
Duff points out that there
might be some monetary pro
vision for enforcement in the
1960-1861 budget if the meas
ure should pass. He said it Is
possible that tnn city might
even hire an additional man
to help in enforcing the dog
control law.
In any case, city officials
express the opinion that if the
measure should pass, the
problems In enforcing it
should not be too great to be
solved.

SPEECH KIDNAPED
Greenville, N.C. - (ITT - Dr.
Leo Jenkins, reading from the
text of his Inaugural address
as president of East Carolina
college before an audience of
10,000 Friday, suddenly found
he was making no sense. One
of his six children had swiped
page 8.
People Cautioned
About Bargains
Through U.S. Mail
Residents in the Rogue val
ley area have been cautioned
by Medford Chamber of Com
merce Manager Don McNeil
to beware of proposals
through the mail offering mer
chandise at bargain rates.
"A good example of this,"
McNeil said, "is the bargain
paint operation. The unsus
pecting individual receives a
letter from a paint company
suggesting that a number of
gallons of good quality paint
is warehoused in the area for
which the company is willing
to accept a low rate per
gallon.
"One of these is the Nation
al Titanium company. This
firm usually offers by letter
the bargain rate of $2.75 a
gallon for genuine exterior
white paint 'guaranteed for
years of outdoor exposure.' '
Laboratory Tests
"According to a Portland
Better Business bureau re
port, Aug. 25, 1959." McNeil
said, "laboratory tests in Kan
sas City showed this paint
averaged 21.5 per cent water.
Federal specifications for ex
terior oil paints for use by
government agencies allow a
maximum of 1 per cent wa
ter," the chamber manager
said.
"Jacob C. Swimmer, head
of the National Titanium com
pany, died, according to a bu
reau report, in February,
1959. Nevertheless, the firm
has continued to mail letters
offering it-' bargain rate on
paint to citizens throughout
the country.
'As a result of his death,
the Federal Trade commls- :
sion is reported to have issued
an order dismiss'"g the false
advertising charges against
Swimmer, an individual trad
Ing as the National Titanium
company, McNeil said.
Letters are reported to have
been received in this area
from the company which con
tinues to operate on appar
ently what appears to be the
same basis as before, McNeil
said. A Better Business bu
reau report May 10 calls at
tention to the fact that Port
land concerns are also receiv
ing similar letters. The bulle
tin goes on to caution busi
ness firms that 'laboratory
tests found It to be 20 per
cent water," McNeil concluded.
