About 190 chamber mem bers and wives attended the meeting. Joining Taylor as chamber officers are Frank Bash, first vice president; Murray Gardi ner, second vice president, and Clarence Young, treasurer. New board members to serve three year terms are Ken Baker, Robert Cunning ham, Walter Garner, Manville Heisel, Ray Johnson, S.V. Mc Queen, John Moffatt and Joe Moore. Latham becomes board chairman. In making his acceptance speech, Taylor said Medford is a growing community. "We need to think positively and develop an objective attitude," he said. Taylor said the Medford businesses are currently jock eying for position. "They are looking for more space and more foot traffic," he com mented. Two New Committees Taylor then announced for mation of two new chamber committees. "Because I know both city and county heads welcome chamber participa tion in their management problems and we likewise re spect their opinions of our af fairs, I am going to appoint two committees to cover city council and county govern ment," he told the group. They will study problems on which the chamber should express an opinion. This will place the chamber board in a more informed position," Taylor said. "Also they will enable the chamber to add constructive criticism and ad vice." , "I hope formation of the committees will broaden the judgment required to make decisions affecting our busi nesses," Taylor continued. Plaque Presented Taylor presented a plaque to outgoing president Latham in recognition of work La tham did for the chamber. Mrs. Latham was given flow ers. Latham summarized cham ber progress last year and- praiscd all division heads and committee members for their work. "We made progress on more projects which have a direct bearing on the economic fu ture of this valley than I ever would have believed possi ble," he said. Acquiring property and planning construction of a chamber of commerce build ing occupied much of La tham's time. Location of the building and financing ar rangements were the most dif ficult aspects of the project, Latham explained. Construc tion of the building is under way and occupancy will oc cur well ahead of the tourist season, he added. Other Activities Other activities included the chamber's urging a speed up of freeway construction through Medford by eliminat- The Medical Roundup Vy Em"ltu' Consultant In Medicine Mayo Clinic Emeritus Professor of Medicine Mayo Clinic (Register and Tribune Syndicate. 1961) SOME TYPE OF HOME IMPROVEMENT WOULD" BE A .

And always 1 have to say I have no defi nite knowl edge, only few theories. These theories do not explain the fact that even among children there are three or four females with g a 1 1- stones to one male with the disease. Dr. A. J. H. Rains and his colleagues, writing recent ly in the London Lancet, re ported having found a certain mold-like organism called an Actinomyces in the inside of 30 out of 57 gallstones exam ined. This finding is all the more interesting because these molds (fungi) have been found in the stones that appear sometimes in the ducts of the glands which secrete saliva into the mouth. The Actino myces commonly causes a dis ease called "lumpy jaw" in farm animals. For facts about and treat ment for gallstones and gall bladder disease be sure to read Dr. Alvarez' booklet, "Gallstones and Gallbladder Disease."

If, in an animal, this area is stimulated electrically by a tiny wire, there may be marked shiv ering. If this area is destroyed, later when the animal is brought into a cold room It will not shiver. In the pres ence of great cold, we and some other animals will shiver in order to get warmer. The contraction of the muscles Bartlett generates heat. ing some technicalities block ing the way. This was ac complished to the extent that the initial contract was let late in I960 with a second con tract scheduled for this spring. Latham mentioned the de velopment of a joint adver tising program between Jack son and Josephine counties which involved participation of the two county courts and four chambers of commerce in producing 50,000 copies of an invitational color bro chure. Advertisements were also placed in Sunset and Westways magazines, Latham said. Chambers participating in cluded Medford, Grants Pass, Ashland and Cave Junction. Jackson and Josephine county courts provided money for the folders. Replies after the first two days the ad appeared in Sun set's February issue totaled 159, Latham said. Latham said 35 progress awards were presented to Medford area business firms during the year. The awards testify to the vision and con fidence represented by busi ness firm investments in the future growth of Jackson county, he said. Receiving awards at the meeting were the Medford Manor, Pacific Telephone Northwest and Thunderbird Market. Principal Speaker Dr. Howard Runkel, chair man of the speech department at Willamette university, was principal speaker. Runkel's talk was titled "It's All in the Way You Say It." He discussed uses of the l'a million words in the English language. Interesting facts Runkel disclosed included the remark that Woodrow Wilson used 56,000 different words in his writings, while William Shakespeare used only 48,000. The average American uses 11 million words a year, Run kel said. Runkel explained various ways words reveal the per sonality of the speaker and how they determine people's reactions to us. "Words have the power to arouse the whole gamut of human emotions," he said. "They can amuse or perplex us." Runkel concluded by say ing, "Mark your words be cause your words mark you." Entertainment was provid ed by Caesar Muzzioli on the accordion and a quartet com posed of Otis Swisher, Ron John Drysdale and Carroll Graber.
