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

FARM INFLUENCE
Washington - Out of every
10 persons in the world today,

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

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-

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.
