I MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OR. SUNDAY. OCTOBER SO. I960 Milnes Says People of Alba Are Like People of Rogue Valley Greg Milnes told a meeting ot Medford s Town Affiliation committee Thursday nigh that the people of Alba are "wonderful people-not really different from people right here in our city," i Milnes, a Willamette univer sity student, visited Alba Italy, during the summer as an official delegate from Med' ford. Alba and Medford have been sister cities since last ' spring. Mayor John W. Snider In troduced Milnes at the meet ing and said his visit is the : highlight " to date of the re lationship between the two cities. - . Milnes said he was in Alba at the time Medford's first "friendship pouch" was re ceived there. The pouch con tained letters from the people of Medford to the people of Alba and, he said, persons re ceiving letters were "delight ed and seemed most anxious to answer them. Praises Reception He praised his reception in Alba and the hospitality that was afforded he and his com panion on the trip.. They had an interpreter at their beck and call, he said, and the city District Rangers Holding Meeting A district, ranger meeting was held last week by the Rogue River National forest, according to C. E. Brown, for est supervisor. ' The purpose of the meeting was to discuss work plans, progress on this year's activi ties, and methods to meet the Increased demands for multi ple-use on the forests..,. Discussions were led by Brown, H. Langdon, H. G. Hopkins, R. H. Torheim, R. A. Weiss, M. C. Shipley, D. F. O'Leary and W. T. Harlan of the supervisor's, office; Dis trict Rangers N. G. Suttell, Applegatc; D. H. Baker, Pros pect; A. D. Twombly, Union Creek; and R. F. Perkins, Butte Falls. Others attending were D. K. Frewing, D. B. Shaw and R. C. McQuown, Klamath; R. S. Snoich, Appiegate; H.! A. Thomas and R. E. Taylor, Ash land; T. C. Puchbauer, Butte Falls; R. K. Krell, Prospect; and S. S. Polrier, D. B. Finch, D. L. Farley, L. N. Anderson, and D. K. Johnson of the su pervisor's office, ; of Alba paid all their expens es there including food and lodging. Milnes brought back with him a silver plaque from the people of Alba to the people of Medford. The plaque bears an inscription of friendship and is a replica of a painting of the city made in 1100 A.D., which now hangs in the may-, or's office, he said. He pointed out that the peo ple of Alba do things more on a family basis rather than a group basis. There are no clubs as we would know them, such as garden clubs. Thus, exchanges between the two cities will probably have to be done on an individual basis rather than a group-to-group basis, he added. He did note, however, that Alba has a Ro tary club. People of Alba "have great deal of respect for the people of Medford," Milnes said, "for initiating" the sister city relationship. ' Mayor Snider later caution ed that the "worst thing that could happen" would be for Medford to drop the sister-city relationship now that it has been started. There was no indication, that the program would be dropped at the meetr ing and when called on for ideas to promote the program, the some 40 persons gathered there responded with a num ber of them. When Milnes first arrived in Alba, he said he was usher ed in to the mayor's office. Plans Mapped for Massive Rally by College Students On the wall of the office, he tatoes and are sliced paper FARM INFLUENCE Washington - Out of every 10 persons in the world today, lx live on farms. Ashland-Barry Pitts, South ern Oregon college student body president, attended summit council of college and university student lead ers at Portland State college last week to map plans for i massive inter-campus Rally for Measure 6" to be staged in Portland Nov. 6. "Doorbells will be rung all over Portland on the Sunday before election and students from the various campuses, including a .contingent from SOC, will explain Ballot Measure No. 8," Pitts stated. 'Students on- all campuses are concerned over passage of Measure 6. which would provide much-needed, self liquidating , dormitories and other student facilities around the state at no cost to the taxpayer as they are paid for out of student rentals and fees," he added. First Kind of Rally Dale Ward, Portland Stale college student body presi dent and chairman of the planning session, said that this was the . first time, to his knowledge, that students from all the state campuses had staged a rally of this nature. In a prepared statement, the student leaders pointed out that the "Students for Six", rally would accomplish two major things: "First, it will bring infor mation on this measure to the doors of the people who will be voting on it and who may not as yet understand it." "The second thing it will accomplish is even more im portant. By assembling thou sands of students in Portland to give their time and effort to Ballot Measure 6, we will show the people of the state that we, as students, feel a responsibility for the future of higher education in the state. : -. Have Obligation ' ' "We know, so far as the costs of instruction are con cerned, that the people of the state supply two-thirds. We, ourselves, pay only one-third. We have an obligation to the people because of this, and our work on Ballot Measure 6 is one way of repaying our debt." In addition to Ward and SOC student body president Pitts, others attending the meeting included Steve Schell, student body presi dent, University of Oregon; Jerry Cook, Measure No. 6 campaign manager, UO;,Dlck Seidman, student body presi dent, Oregon State college; Mike Wendt, student body president,. Oregon College of Education; Bruce Bear, PSC campaign manager for- Meas ure 6; and Roy Sampsel, PSC, who will lead the- inter-campus doorbell ringing rally Nov. 6. said, were a number of clip pings from the Mail Tribune about the sister-city relation ship. He said he was surprised to see something familiar so far from home, Much Bigger Milnes said the city of Alba is much bigger than he thought it would be. He noted that there are some four or five 10-story modern apart ment buildings in Alba. One real difference between Medford and Alba, he said, is that Alba has no residential areas. The 20,000 people there live mostly in apartments rather than individual homes, Milnes said the. city is di vided into two sections - the old and the new. The new sec tion is modern by American standards, he said, and he showed some slides of the new buildings going up in this sec The old half of the city has a number of buildings dating back to the year 1000. In this section, he said, the streets are narrow. He pointed out that the entire city is extreme ly clean and well-kept. Public Square In between the two sec tions of the city, he said, is a large public square highlight ed by a fountain. ...... Milnes said Alba has long been influential in the politics of Italy. During WWII, he said, Alba was one of the few Italian cities that ran the Fascists "out of town." They also kept the Germans out of the city and withstood artil lery bombardment and air at tacks for 40 days before final ly having to give in under the sheer power of the German forces. ) ; Alba received a gold medal from the Italian government for its courage during this stage of the war, he said. The city is extremely proud of its part in the Italian resistance, he noted, and has erected a church as a monument to per sons who died during the re sistance. Among Industry Included among the indus try of Alba, he said, are a chocolate manufacturing plant, a vermouth factory, a paper factory, a silk factory, weaving and dying mills, vine yards and wineries. Alba chocolates are famous all over Europe, Milnes said, and he saw boxes of these chocolates as far north as Co penhagen, Denmark, and as far south as Rome. Truffles are one of the most important products of Alba, he said. Milnes noted that they look like large deformed po- The of the hearty! I't.-U. v, Little "Men and Women of Distinction" will call for their favorite Beverage - MILK! All of the little spooks will be burning plenty of energy in their treks up and down the streets with their bags full of treats . . . that's why your BEST treat for them is a glass of cool, body building MILK. It will give them the "lift" they need to finish a perfect evening of fun and enjoy a relaxing night of sleep. MILK is nature's most perfect food for young and old alike Keep plenty on hand at all times! ' ...... J Drivers Drive carefully tomorrow night See that our little goblin stay safe and alive . . . . it and Drink at Least 3 Glasses of Milk a Day! MILK fcfridiiccrsf lea put o thin for use as a garnish in many different kinds of foods, he said. Truffles are popular throughout Europe and the eastern U. S. and are consid ered to be a delicacy. No Stations . ' Although there are no ra dio stations in Alba, he said people can receive five sta tions from' surrounding cities. They can also receive two televisions stations. This is more than can be received in Rome itself, he noted. , . At the end of their stay in Alba, Milnes said he and his traveling companion were, in vited to a picnic held just out side of Alba.- Many of the prominent peo ple in town were at the pic nic, he said, including the Mayor of. Cuneo, capital of the province in which Alba is located. Milnes described the area around Alba as being similar to that in 4he Rogue valley. "Every square inch" seems to be taken up by agriculture. he said. The Tanoro river that flows near Alba, looks much JiKe the Rogue river, he add ed. Need for Educating --. -both Milnes and othr at the meeting stressed the need for educating the . Dermic nf Medford in the customs and traditions of the people of Alba. The idea of a continued ex change of all kinds of things between the two cities was stressed and a suggestion was made that Medford send Alba Christmas card bearing "hundreds" of signatures. It was also suggested that Medford use an Italian theme as the theme for one of its Pear festivals. The Medford Chapter of the United Nations association was represented at the meet ing and its representatives said they are sending both a letter of friendship and a se quoia tree to Alba: -Mayor Snider and City Councilman Robert Baccus, who is also chairman of the Affiliation committee, stress ed the need for as many peo ple to participate in the sister city program as possible.
