For th Swmrtw Montfii Starting June 1st the Office of Dr. R. J. Urie OPTOMETIIST 820 Est Main Will Be Closed Wednesdays Newcomer First Impressions of Area One of the first impressions that a newcomer to Medford has received is that it looks like "a bunch of damn nestors," who take no pride in their surroundings, live on the outskirts of the city. The preson receiving this j impression is Johnnie Linn, a I new announcer for radio sta tion KODV who has been in this city for only five weeks. Linn outlined his impres sions of Medford and the Rogue valley, both good and bad. at the request of Mon day's Medford Chamber of Commerce's roundtable lunch eon. Linn said he has no other qualifications to speak on the good and bad points of Med ford, except that he has been in all of the states in the continental U.S., with the ex ception of Washington and has stayed "more than overnight" in at' least one community in each of these. He has lived in 20 of these states he said. Before coming to Medford he was in southern California with the Air Force. Linn said he dees not intend to stay in Medford but gave personal considerations as his primary reason for leaving. Nestor Comment Elaborating on his nestor comment, Linn said that along every highway leading into the city, he has seen more rundown barns and out buildings than in any other section of the valley he has visited. And, he added that he has visited most. He commented on this situ ation on his radio program re cently, and one farmer called him to say that he didn't paint his barn because if he did. the tax assessor would come around and increase his prop ert" valuation. If this be the case, he said, then it Is something the people shou'd look in to. Number of Signs Another critic'sm which Linn has is the number of signs which "clutter" up the valley highways. This is a nation-wide prob lem, he pointed out, but said it stands out here even more than other places. The signs which range from chicken eggs to cafe" adver tisements along the Medford Grants Pass highway, are cov ering and cluttering up what is one of "the greatest natural attractions in the U.S." Linn was quick to note that he is not opposed to outdoor advertising but says there Is a way to do it and a way not to do it. Noting that tourism is the valley's third greatest indus try, Linn said, "there is no reason to cover what you have to sell with shacks and signs." On the good side of the ledger, Linn said he Is much Impressed by the people here and their friendliness. He em phasized this by- saying that he has never been in any other place in, the U.S. where he has been more favorably impressed by the people. Although the people are friendly, he said, he gets a feeling of "apartness," This is especially so among the serv ice clubs. He said there are a lot of little groups doing fine work but he does not know if they are working towards a common end. The natural assests in the valley, he said, are "without equal," but he showed con cern about the smoke and smudge problem. Learnt About City . Before even coming to Med ford, Linn made it a point to find out as much about the city as possible. He looked in the encyclopedia and, among other things, discovered that Medford has an annual rain fall of 20 Inches. But, when he asked persons in southern California who had been here, about Med ford, they said, without ex ception, "Its the rainest damn country, we ever saw in our lives." Twenty Inches Is about as much rain as they have in Amarlllo, Tex., he said, which is generally considered a semi-arid spot. This erroneous Impression is bad and will deter persons from visiting this valley, he said. Linn pointed to adver tising as the way to help get rid of this bad impression. Unfavorable Impression Linn told how he wont to lunch with a half-dozen Med ford businessmen when he first arrived in the city and said he was "embarrassed" to hear them quote with "great pride." the native white pop. to Medford Reviews ulation of the city and the success they have had in keeping Nerors out. This was listed under Linn's unfavor able impressions of the city. In closing Linn said that valley businessmen should have a positive program of education for their people" xo point oui me lact tiiat mis isn't a '6-monlh economy."
