"Our Prestige Was Never Higher"
Pollution Progress
Noted in All Areas
Progress' has been made in
all areas toward air pollution
control in Jackson county,
County Judge Earl Miller
noted following Friday's prog
ress report meeting.
"We can either do the job
voluntarily or through legisla
tion," the county Judge re
minded his audience of lum
ber and fruit industry repre-
sentatives. City Sanitary Serv
ice and two paving contrac
tors were not .represented, al
though they had been invited.
Speaking for1 the fruit in
dustry, Dunbar Carpenter es
timated 5;00d additional' return-stack
heaters' have' 'been
ordered in the valleyi' Man
agers of two of the three sup
ply houses In the area told
him of the orders, he said.
, Representing the lumber
Indutry, George Flanagan,
i Elk 1 Lumber '. company man
ager, said all of the local lum
ber industry are "cognizant of
the problem" and. are work
ing on it. Considerable prog
ress is being made, he said..
Reports Heartening
) Speaking for the city of
Medford, City Manager Rob
ert Duff remarked that the
progress reports are "heart
ening." City officials are
working on a city ordinance
to regulate all burning cover
in the city of Medford and
the area within a six-mile ra
dius. Representatives of the
fruit and lumber industries
and all other interested per
sons affected will be invited
to a series of meetings to
ward formulating an ordi
nance, Duff said.
T. M. (Ted) Gerow Jr. of the
Oregon State Sanitary author
ity, reminded lumber indus
try representatives that the
state now has regulations to
control open burning. The
new law prohibits open burn
ing within six miles of a city
of 10,000 population or more.

ing the open pots, Carpenter
noted that last year's pear
crop was 74 per cent of the
five-year average and this
year's crop is about 70 per
cent 6f the five-year average.
This makes it more difficult
for fruit growers to spend
money for new heaters, he
pointed out.
"It's a little early to de
termine what will transpire,
but the industry will go ahead
and make the additional 20
per cent reduction as agreed,"
he said.
"I discussed the program

Union Accepts GE
Contract Offer;
Long Strike Ends
Rebel Local Weakens
Bargaining Position
New York A 20-day na
tionwide strike against Gen
eral Electric ended late Sat
urday with the International
Union of Electrical Workers
accepting - a three-year con
tract basically the same as the
one they had rejected before
the start of the walkout.
The union blamed the de
fection of 9,000 members of
the Schenectady, N.Y., local
for weakening its position in
the bargaining talks. The local
returned to work last Mon
day.
During the walkout, which
began Oct. 2, sporadic vio
lence broke out at GE plants
as strikers - and non-strikers
clashed on the picket lines.
The union had ordered its 70,
000 members at 55 GE plants
to go on strike.
A settlement also was
spurred when other IUE offi
cers signed a pact in Pitts
burgh Friday with Westing
house Electric - corporation,
GE's principal competitor,
about equal in provisions to
what GE offered four weeks
ago.
Workers Return Monday
An IUE spokesman said af
ter the GE settlement was an
nounced here that workers
were expected to report back
to their lobs for the early
Monday shifts. The new pact
provides an immediate wage
hike of 3 per cent.
The pact signed this after
noon is binding without rati
fication. Union chief James B.
Carey was empowered by the
union's conference board early
this week to conclude : an
agreement on his own author
ity. .
Under the agreement reach
ed yesterday; the union will
have 30 days to select one of
three wage . and benefit . op
tions which the- company of
fered during the pre-stirike
negotiations. -m '
The first option' provides an
other wage increase of 3 per
cent in April, 1962, , and an
eighth paid holiday and
fourth week of vacation after
25 years of service. : i
i The second option provides
for a 4 per cent pay boost in
April, 1962, without the new
holiday and vacation benefits.
Wage Reopener
The third option provides
for a wage reopener at that
time. : , .-.

Hatfield Speaks at Republican
Gov. Mark Hatfield, speak
ing from the Jackson county
courthouse steps, Saturday
night urged some 500 specta
tors to "put aside party labels
and prejudices and put Amer
ica first" when they go to the
polls Nov. 8.
The Oregon governor spoke
during a county Republican
rally amidst a backdrop of
flickering oil torches, and par
tial costume of the .gaslight
era of politics.
Speaking vigorously and
gesturing emphatically the
young political aspirant
pounded home the need to
vote for candidates who would
"hold the tax dollar line" yet
push for steady progress of
the county, state and nation.
Indicating a continuing
need for peace, the Republic
an governor recognized that
Sen. John Kennedy, Demo

New Areas to Get

By Next Season
' Water will be . available

for new lands adjacent to the

reclamation has announced.
The bureau notified TID
that water would be available
for new lands recently. New
lands along the canals which
have not been in the district
previously will receive the
additional water. i
Water will not be available

The : bureau pointed out
that's o m e of .thenew land

by next Irrigation season, so
charges will be made on an
acreage basis only on the new
land that is ready to receive
a full water supply, and on an
acre foot basis for new land
that is not ready for a full
supply. Payment will be
made at the district office in
Talent.
Laterals to serve new land
lying some distance from the
existing distribution system
will be constructed as soon
as possible, but probably will
not all be completed by the

City Developing
Sewer Plan for
Southwest Area
Medford's Public Works de
partment is in the process of
preparing a preliminary sani
tary sewer plan for an area
southwest of Medford that
might annex to the city as a
means of solving sewer prob
lems. . i . : ,
Petitions irom this area
seeking annexation were re
ceived by the city council two
months ago. There were 408
signatures favoring annexa
tion. Another set of petitions
bore the signatures of 277
persons opposed to annexa
tion." ,'.
Since the . petitions .have
been received, the city has
plotted all the residences in
the area on a large map. Those
residents whose, occupants
signed petitions favoring an
nexation are marked in one
color and. those opposed an
other. A good number of per
sons' did not sign either set
of petitions. , (
Boundaries Noted '
Public Works Director Ver
non Thorpe said Friday that
"roughly" the area from
which the petitions were re
ceived is bounded by Clover
lane on the north; Stevart
ave. of the south; Ross lane on
the north; and the city limits
on the east. Thorpe said some
signatures were also received
from the area south of Stew
art ave., between Columbus
ave. and Peach st.
The preliminary sanitary
sewer plan will show the
feasibility of providing sew
ers to this area and the direc
tion of the sewer flow,
Thorpe said. It will be design
ed for the entire area, includ
ing those homes that signed
petitions . opposing . annexa
tion. He emphasized that the
plan is merely preliminary.
City Manager Robert A.
Duff said that the next step
after the. sewer plan will be
to draw up boundaries for the
area as it would be proposed
for annexation-. He said that
the city council of the per
sons in the area Itself could
do this.'
Thorpe said it will be from
two to four weeks before the
preliminary sewer plan Is
completed.

Oregon state police investi
gated the accident near Four
Corners which involved a car
stolen from Nelson Motors.
Two of the three boys in the
car ran from the scene, it was
reported, but were implicated
in the crime later. :
The dynamite was located
in a tree house behind tho
West Main st. home of one ot
the boys. Some 300 dynamite
caps were discovered behind
a shed at a neighbor's house.
Officers said that the tree
house was about 20 feet off

from a number of Medford
used car lots. They explained
that they would remove tho
keys from the cars during the
