MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Converted Bomber Crashes, Kills One . Yreka - A converted Navy lighter bomber owned by a Yreka ilrm crashed northwest of Redding Monday morning while engaged in dropping borate on a forest fire. ' The pilot, Robert Christo pherson of Orange, Calif., was killed. . Witnesses reported that Christopherson had made his first borate drop into a canyon area and was flying up a smoke-shrouded hillside when .the left engine hit a tree. The pilot continued down the canyon still under control of the plane and radioed in that he had hit something but would be able to fly the plane home. He evidently then lost con trol of the craft and crashed into another hillside, starting another forest fire with the impact. Christopherson is survived - by his wife and six children in Orange.

Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERF- AN ITINERANT preacher in the Blue Ridge Mountains shook an old reprobate and thundered, "Are you ready ) for the Judgment Day?" "Mebbe yes, mebbe no," said the -oia rep cagny. "When's -,it coming?" "It might 'come this very day," warned the preacher. yVThen again, it might . come tomorrow." ; ' By this time . the old - reprobate was register ing genuine concern. it"Don't tell my old wom- 'n," he begged. "She'd jwant to go both days." " An indignant customer . called an electrical aupply hop to demand, "What happened to that man you -promised to send round to repair my broken doorbell?" , , 'He went to your housa like I promised," answered the elec ; triclan, "and he stood there ringing that bell for a full fifteen -minutes, but nobody answered, ao he came back to the shop. . You shouldn't be so inconsiderate in the future!" - A new girl in the check room of a popular nightclub whispered to a veteran employee.

Lltwiller r Mrs. Lltwiller Ashland's Leading Funeral Director Since 1935 BUSINESS LABOR MUST PLAY TRADE GAME NOW The giant step has been taken. This historic Trade Expansion Act of 1962 is reality, is paving the way for our country to assume a role of leadership in a new era of free and expanding world trade. Over the years ahead, the tariff walls which limit trade between the U.S. and a uniting Europe will go down. Many trade barriers between us will disappear entirely. U.S. producers of all sorts of goods will have the best chance ever to penetrate Europe's growing markets and Europe's producers will have the best chance ever to pen etrate our growing markets. And, as the trade walls crumble in the Atlantic Community, other nations ranging, from Japan to Australia which will benefit from the tariff concessions we make will have to make similar conces sions to us. The future could be bright indeed for paychecks, prof its and solid prosperity throughout the free world. The future could be bright for us. that is. if our businessmen, labor leaders and federal government now follow through with the policies and practices impera tive io make the bright future come true. Putting the revolutionary act on the book which will turn us toward a commercial-financial partnership with the Common Market is the giant step but it's only the first step. If we are to move into the booming markets of Europe on the scale that we could move as the trade walls dis appear, our businessmen must show the boldness and skill to compete with foreign products on ingenuity, quality and price. Our labor leaders must have the common sense and foresight to realize that they'll destroy U.S. jobs and pay checks unless they restrain their wage demands and thus permit bur corporations to hold down prices and stay com petitive with foreign manufacturers. The federal government must demonstrate the wisdom and courage to write into law across-the-board tax reduc tions which will spur corporations into investing billions more to modernize their plants to make them even more competitive and which will stimulate U.S. consumers into spending billions more to buy American industry's increas ing output. At the same time, if our companies and workers aren't to be disastrously hurt by a rising flood of imports, busi ness men must put vastly increased sums into research to develop new and superior products for the home market which will compete with the foreign imports. Labor lead ers must welcome rather than fight automation as a way to broaden markets for our producers and thereby make new jobs and paychecks. The federal government must do its utmost to gear economic-financial policies toward accel erating our economy's growth. Big words, say you? They certainly are! They should be, for this is among the big economic stories of our times and we simply must not underestimate the magnitude and form of the challenges. Exciting markets are being created before our ayes in Europe and they range from the plainest necessities to the luxurious extras. The incomes of Europe's work ers are climbing steadily, their . ability to spend for mora than the essentials of life is on the rise. Industry's needs for our advanced equipment and machinery are enormous. There is no doubt that the markets are there. Yet, while our exports are at a peak, the reluctance of most businessmen to seize the opportunities to export our products and techniques is, as one U.S. official put it awhile back, "pathetic." We . could hike our exports by billions as the walls go down if we try enough. Every U.S. company with a product which has ex port potentialities should inquire right now how to go about producing and selling for foreign markets. All a busi nessman has to do is ask the U.S. Dept. of Commerce for guidance and he'll get it fast. Every U.S. company already in the export field should re-examine its producing and marketing programs with the aim of improving its com petitiveness abroad. We're up against the fiercest com petitors in history who have learned our skills well; only the best marketing men corporations have should be as signed to the European markets now. In the 1940s the markets of Europe went after us. In the 1960s we have to go after them. The President and j Congress have laid down the chips in the greatest trade game of all time. Now it's up to the rest of us to match their effort with all we have and win. VA Domiciliary Resident Interested in Converting Impressions Into Comics By SID HOLLINGS WORTH Mail Tribune Correipondent White City - Jim Jenkins has one interest in life. It is to watch the passing parade and then convert his im pressions into the comic, which he records in cartoon form. With a keen sense of the basic and even the raw in human nature, he runs the gamut of situations that call forth laughter. Jenkins has been around the domiciliary at White City for as long as anyone can re member. He takes his post at the intersection and watches the show. Then at night in his room, he draws and tints his pic tures of what he sees to be funny or ironic in the news of the day. Lived In Montana Jim lived in the wide open spaces of Montana where the wind and the coyotes howl at night and he began early to cultivate his lifetime habit of recording an inner sense for the absurd. "I just started to draw as a kid and kept it up," he says, explaining his talent, which may not be orthodox but is interesting none the less and certainly attuned to self-expression. "I have a whole drawer full of drawings," he says. None are published other than through personal contact with the veterans, who get a kick out of his graphic sense of humor. Not Adaptable At one time an effort was made to put his ideas across in Dominews, the camp paper, but they are not adaptable in line to stencil reproduction. Cartoonists have started in with less ability than Jenkins but with a regular sequence, their style has improved to become the hallmark of iden tity. "I just like to draw," Is his answer to the indifference he shows toward ambition and fame as a comic artist. Per- Officers Complete School Safely Talks Two city police officers, Capt. Clyde Fichtner and Pa trolman Robert Allen, were scheduled to conclude the an nual safety talks in the Med ford public schools today. Jackson county sheriff's deputy William Rice carried out a similar program earlier in county schools. Fichtner and Allen discuss ed safety topics relating to pedestrians, bicycling and avoidance of strangers. Allen spoke to the primary grade students and Fichtner talked with the Intermediate grade youngsters. Schools where the safety talks were presented included Howard, Jackson, Lincoln, West Side, Roosevelt, Wash ington, Lone Pine, Wilson, Jefferson and Hoover. A 5 haps it is that habit of mind generated in the open country where he lived with cowboys, miners and Indians - and just plain people, that left Jim Jenkins satisfied with life as he sees it. 0 FIRST IN MEDFORD Now your color processing is done her at Crater lake Color 630 North Central.

Both Were Promoted Truax emphasized that both the college and the city of Ashland were promoted on the trip. He said that many persons outside of the im mediate Rogue valley area showed considerable interest In the city and asked many questions about its facilities. Information about other Or egon colleges and universities was given out on the trip, Truax explained, so that stu dents could be advised where to go for certain specialized subjects. Truax said he felt this fact earned good will for South ern Oregon college - and in a few cases students he ad vised to go elsewhere wound up registering at SOC. Cost of the entire trip came to $616, paid for out of South ern Oregon Faculty associates funds. The money is raised from dues paid by college staff members to the Ashland Chamber of Commerce. The chamber keeps a small portion of the dues, but re turns most of the money to the college for use in promot ing both the college and the city.
