British thy Ret Dd
As Merrie in 196 1
London - fUPI) - There will
be a new Greut Britain in
1961, but perhaps not quite
so "merrie" a one as in IflliO.
In 19B0 the old Britain gave
independence to the richest
treasures of her oncc-upon-a
time African empire. In 1961
the new Britain, her leaders

Small Worlds
Around Us
By Lynn M. Watkins
(Register Mid Tribune Syndicate,
1961)
It was a small stream, not
large enough to be called a
river, really just an oversized
brook. It twisted and turned,
often almost upon itself,
through several miles of for
est and brushland, and across
several meadows.
The current was swift.
strong enough to sweep with
n rippling rustic, around the
bends, and roll gravel stones
along its bottom. Here and
there dark deep holes offered
shelter for brook trout and
an occasional rainbow trout.
The water was always cool,
clear and clean, even good
to drink by thirsty trout fish
ermen and woodsmen.
Haven for Animals
Deer came down to the wa
ter's edge to drink. Wild
ducks nested along the shore.
Raccoons prowled the stream
or waded into the eddies at
the curves. One of the small
brooks that emptied into the
larger stream was dammed by
a colony of beavers.
H always had been pleasunt
to rest on a log and look down
into the clear water, to watch
a moving gravel stone, as if
pushed by invisible hands as
it rolled along the bottom.
It was enjoyable to experi
ence the slight start when a
dark form of a brook trout
darted across the line of vi
sion, or to watch the fish re
main motionless in the water.
It was always surprising that
these colorful fish were al
ways so dark and drab in
appearance when viewed from
above.

Rotary Speaker
Tells About Fire
A destructive fire can
sometimes become a blessing
in disguise by offering an op
portunity for completely mod
ernizing a plant. .
This view was expressed by
Al Dumas, head of Dumas' Do
mestic Laundry and Dry
Cleaners in an address Tues
day before the Medford Ho-
tHry club.'
Speaking at the Rogue Val
ley Country club, Dumas told
of the I960 fire which de
stroyed his company's plant at
HO-32 North- Riverside ave.
The finest type of competitor
relations was exemplified by
other laundry and dry clean
ing firms throughout this area
and the state, Dumas said. Im
mediate offers of assistance
came from almost every ma
jor Oregon community. This
cooperation enabled the Med
ford firm to continue service
to customers without serious
interruption, he explained.
The speaker stressed the
Importance of periodical re
enccking of Insurance so that
a destructive fire would not
grove too disastrous.

modernized Dumas Domillc

vividly etched on my memory.
All down through the years
I had pictured it in my mind.
I made the mistake of think
ing of the little stream as it
was at the time of my fre
quent visits, not as it would
be when and if I could again
walk along its winding course.
And when I did, the shock
was almost too much. The
trees, the beautiful meadows,
the singing birds, the grassy
banks, muskrals, raccoons,
beavers, even the beauty, all
were gone.
Looking into the water was
to experience a feeling of
nausea. Paper pie plates, emp
ty beer cans, floated sluggish
ly on the water surface. Dis
carded automobile tires, rust
ed bed-springs, piles of plas
ter, and debris of a hundred
kinds, decorated the once
mossy banks.
Civilization had come to the
little stream. On its surface
and along Its edges was de
posited the residue of a peo
ple, the pollution of a para-
disc; the discarded junk from
a culture about which we con
stantly brag. Poor little river.
And there are many of them
- what a price to pay for
"progress."
80 Veterans In
County Get Loans
Oregon veterans' farm and
home loans were granted to 80
veterans In Jackson county
last year, totaling $865,901),
according to II. C. Snalfeld,
director of the slate depart
ment of veterans nffairs.
This year, it the predicted
volume of $60 millions holds
true for the state, veterans in
this county should receive
loans in the amount of about
$2,298,000, based on the vol
ume of slate loans here since
194S.
In Josephine county last
year 25 veterans borrowed
$259,550, with a predicted
amount for 1961 of $912,000.
Statewide last year 2.185 vet
erans borrowed $22,989,150.
A considerable drop from
1959 was due to the depart
ment's lack of authority to
issue bonds to obtain adequate
loan funds.
Saalfeld said that because
of the passage of the war vet
erans' bonding and Joan
amendment in the recent gen
eral election, ample funds will
be on hand this year to meet
the continuing high demand

say, must develop the ability
to lead a Commonwealth in
which men of darked skin
hold the overwhelming ma
jority vole.
In 1960 the old Britain per
haps had the richest year of
her world trading history. In
1961, according to Prime Min
ister Harold Macmillan, the
new Britain will be imperiled
unless she can expand her
trade far beyond the current
level.
In 1960 a commoner, An
tony Armstrong-Jones married
royalty, Princess Margaret. In
1961 the new Britain, if Tony
has his reported way, will
have a "working" member of
the royal family.
In 1960 the old Britain wit
nessed the disappearance of
hundreds of fish - and - chips
shops. In 1961, according to
government estimates, the
number of neon-lit, chromium
plated hamburger bars in Brit
ain will double into the thou-,
sunds.
In 1960 the old Britain gave
her militant trade unions a
continued wave of pay-raise
agreements. In 1961, accord
ing to trade union and parly
leaders, the Labor party will
have to undergo one of the
severest intramural battles in
its history to rebuild a na
tional might which a fight
over unilateral disarmament
cracked.
More Automobiles
In 1960 the old Britain gave
more Britons more automo
biles than ever before. But the
dawn of 1961 saw British auto
production cut in half as mar
kets petered out.
In 1960 Soviet Premier Nl-
kita S. Khrushchev publicly
questioned whether Great
Britain deserved to be called
"great." In 1961 Macmillan
must meet demands from both
the political left and right to
assert Britain's former inde
pendent power in world af
fairs. In 1960 the rale of British
coffee consumption pushed
ahead of tea drinking prog
ress. In 1961 new Britain, so
say the Saville Row stylists,
will witness the once bowlcr
hatted gentleman wearing
some of the tightest trousers
ever form-fitted for man.
In 1960 Macmillan and La
bor parly leader Hugh Gait
skell made fond farewell
speeches to Britain's well-
known friend, President Ei
senhower. In 1961 both Mac
millan and Gaitskcll will be
trying to establish friendship
with a President with whom
they've never eaten breakfast
In 1960 the old Britain wit
nessed the rise of a European
common market which did
not include her. In 1961 the
new Britain, according to her
worried economists, will have
to decide whether trade pref
erence should still be given
to commonwealth countries
instead of to Britain's con
tinental neighbors.
Aliens Reminded
To Make Reports
Portland -Immigration offi
cials arc well pleased with
the response of aliens in the
stale of Oregon to address
report requirements.
James L. Turner, district
director of the Immigration
and Naturalization service,
stated that although the pro
gram has been under way
only seven days, the number
reporting thus far is well
ahead of the number report
ing during the same period
last year.
Aliens have until the end
of January within which to
submit their report of address
to the government. Forms for
the purpose may be obtained
at any post office or any of
fice of the Immigration and
Naturalization service.
All aliens, with few excep
lions, are required to report
Those excused from this re
quirement include diplomats,
persons accredited to certain
inlernalional o r g a nidations
and persons who were admit
ted temporarily as agricul
tural workers.
Aliens who are minors
must also report, but the par
ent or legal guardian should
submit the report for an alien
child under 14 years of age.

AtMtut - "Farm Coopera
tives Can Merge" is the name
of a study appearing in an
Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion circular by Howard C.
Hogg, instructor in social sci
ence at Southern Oregon col
lege, and Gerald E. Korzan,
agricultural economist at Ore
gon State university.
A summarization of the ar
ticle also appears in the fall
issue of "Oregon's Agricul
tural Progress," an annual
publication of the experiment
station.
According to the -article,
mergers of farm cooperatives
can lead to increased income
for members. To obtain these
results Hogg and Korzan made
a study of five Oregon supply
and marketing cooperatives
which gave evidence that an
additional $418,000 might
have been distributed to mem
bers of these co-ops over the
past three years as increased
receipts from marketing grass
seed-if they had merged in
1956. Sizable savings would
have resulted also from com
bined bookkeeping systems
and other economies brought
about through such a merger.
Increased Competition
Korzan stated that coopera
tives, like other businesses,
have been feeling the pinch
Irfif increased competition and
decreasing net markins. One
way to avoid this is to en
large the business and mod
ernize procedures - thereby
saving money in operating
costs and bringing in. more
money for members.
Larger firms can reduce
risks through diversification
of interests, more orderly mar
keting, easier financing, and
better management.
Before mergers arc possible
co-op members must be con
vinced of these three things:
They will get better prices
for the products they are sell
ing through the co-op; they
will ;eceive lower prices for
products they buy through
the co-op, and their assets will
not be used to bail out a weak
or failing cooperative organization.
