Candidates'
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.

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

performed by private busi
ness, and they are doing a
most satisfactory job. 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.

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.
Parking meters and off
street parking. Our present
parking situation is a direct

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.

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.
