Newspaper Page TextCandidates' Statements Editor'! note: As in past years, the Mail Tribune is oliering space in its news columns lor statements irom candidates seeking office. This year because of the interest in the non-partisan Medford city election, this otter has been extended to candidates lor Medford mayor and city councilman. The seventh in the series today includes statements from Ward I candidates in Medford. The ward is in north east Medford, east of the railroad tracks and north of Main St. , .'! Jj w . r. , a- Sander Vanocur. NBC Washington correspondent, re cently said that politics or a politician is not only the sci ence of government, but is also the lubricant that makes our democracy work. I am in full accord with these remarks because I think it is the duty of every citizen to take an active part in our government; and from the nu merous candidates running for various offices throughout our country today, I feel this is a good healthy condition be cause it bears out the fact that people are showing an interest in their government which, in my opinion, they should do. If elected a member of the city council. Ward I, at Med ford, I will work towards the continued improvement in our community, as in this day and age we cannot complete one successful venture and be complacent. We are either standing or moving. I feel that the stride that Medford lias made in the past years the population for the past ton years has grown 40 per cent; trade area has increased 56 per cent; payroll has gone up 63 per cent certainly is an indication that this com munity is not standing still, but is on the move. Finances Important So far as my views on immi nent local matters which con cern our city government, one of the most important is fi nances. Next, there has been considerable pros and cons with respect to so-called blight in the downtown area, but I am not in accord with this at all. What Medford is going through is what, more or less, all other communities in our country are going through, and I definitely do not feel that the city is obligated to take on the responsibility for providing additional parking areas. This is gradually being SHOW STARTS 7 P.M. TONITE! cne laju THE GIANTS OF THE WEST! RANDOLPH JOEL SCOTT-McCREA AND ADVENTURE PIRATE XfM BLACK hawk - I . George M.

I feel that the city should, of course, give them the benefit of any assistance so far as they can with respect to engineering, but the city should stay out of the operation of it entirely. Next most important item that you hear from all sources is with respect to attracting new businesses to our commu nity to provide employment, which I whole-heartedly en dorse; and have in the past been of great assistance in this venture. I do feel, however, that the community must take the position with respect to attracting new industry that it is not what industry can do for the community, but what the community can do for in dustry that is important. Remember: Vote for George M. Joyce, Ward I. v v. v AJS Richard K. Walsh There are a number of very important issues and deci sions that will be confronting the city council in the very near future. Space limitations necessitate only a general out line, however I shall try to touch on some of them briefly. City government efficiency. There is currently underway a study to compare salaries, assignments and proficiencies of Medford's city administra tion with that of other com parable communities and pri vate industry. The result will no doubt indicate that we are doing a better than aver age job overall, but irregard less of the published results, there is, and will continue to be, room for improvement. When the report is released it will be the responsibility of the elected officials and ad ministration to take appropri ate action in a strong and vigorous way. Encourage New Industry Another most important task facing our city is the encouragement of new busi ness and industry. Heretofore this has been given a lot of lip service, but not much action. It should be of the highest priority. Apathy seems to stem from the lack of coordination between the Chamber of Commerce, estab lished business and city ad ministration. To achieve a solid year-round economy we must wed community think ing and take firm steps to get out of the "old man dol drums'' and into a progressive forward looking frame of mind.

A WONDERFUL ALL-FAMILY SHOW FROM WALT DISNEY loodtd with J laughs and New yr-i ' Personalities! f . i 3 ' -IVr,,. . TECHNICOLOR result of a poor and inade quate planning program which should have been ini tiated and carried through from the very conception. We cannot of course, at this late date, wave our wand and sprinkle star dust. It just will not disappear! Thought Out Action Fortunately the solution can be found, or at least the problem can be greatly mini mized, by men and women who are energetic and intelli gent enough to realize the gravity of the situation and take immediate and carefully thought out action. I have stated on many occasions, and do here again, that I will work constructively to allevi ate this problem. There is a compromise somewhere if only we apply more profound "imagineering." Zoning and ordinance re view and up-dating is another area of deep concern to me. As nreviouslv commented upon, new payrolls cannot be expected if land usage is not in accord. New construction and investment cannot be ex pected unless building codes land related administrative practices are not streamlined and reasonably flexible. There is a mountain of work to be accomplished here. In short then, it will take new, energetic, progressive leadership and action to ini tiate and sustain a wide awake character for Medford. We cannot afford the content ment of a sleepy hollow. To this progress I pledge my full capacity. Robert J. Cunningham It is with a great deal of enthusiasm that I face the pos sibility of being elected to represent Wardl on the Med ford city council. I share with all the residents of Medford their feelings of pride and sat isfaction in our community as a place to live and to raise and educate our families. The Medford of today did not just happen. It is the re sult of the efforts and fore sight of past and present pub lic spirited leaders supported by an interested public. All of us who are now enjoying the benefits of life in Medford should offer some of our time and energy to the community, either through civic group ac tivities or city administra tive functions. Just paying taxes is not enough. It is this conviction that prompted me to file as a candidate for councilman. My association with Med ford and the Rogue valley be gan during my boyhood when I had the privilege of spend- ROBERT J. CUNNINGHAM ing several summers with my grand parents, who were among the early orchardists in this valley. Upon my sepa ration from the U.S. Navy in 1945. my wife and 1 returned o Medford to make our home. We, and our family of three sons, have lived in Ward 1 since 1949. Avoid Complacency We cannot afford to become complacent with the Medford of today, but must continue to anticipate the challenges attendant to population in creases, changes in traffic volume, and the shopping habits of the public.

MtDi - I feel it is the responsibil ity of the city council to take the initiative and to assume the leadership in the solution of all matters involving the general welfare of the resi dents and the economic growth of the city. In short, to meet the challenges of growth before these chal lenges become problems. In this instance, I refer to mat ters of physical and financial planning for city building im provements and services, zon ing patterns, and recreational facilities. Decisions on these issues must include considera tions of both need and cost. The city council must be sympathetic to problems pe culiar to specific areas of our city and responsve to the re quests of the affected citizens for guidance and assistance in meeting these problems; also to insure complete coopera tion and support of all depart ments of city administration to this end. Briefly then, to help our people to heip them selves. Economic Development I joined the staff of the U.S. National bank in December of 1945. My work in the bank has provided an excellent op portunity to follow closely the physical growth and economic development of Medford. This experience and my activities in several civic service groups have also, I believe, provided an insight into the problems of the busi ness community and home owner as well as a knowledge of factors to be considered in attaining effective solutions. If elected I pledge to devote all of the time and'energy ne cessary for the careful investi gation and consideration of all matters related to my po sition as a member of the city council.
