William H. McKinley
I, William H. (Bill) McKin
ley, 47, candidate for council
man from Ward II, believe
that Medford is one of the
finest places in the U.S. to
live. I am interested In keep
ing it that way.
I realize (hat such problems
as pinking, dispollulion, traf
fic, zoning, building codes,
sheet and alley maintenance,
juvenile, law enforcement,
skid row, ct cetera must be
recognized and dealt with be
fore they become major prob
lems if we are to keep the
city a nice place in which to
live.
My wife and I were born
and raised in Iowa and after
World War II, 1 became an
elevator constructor through
out Oregon and southern
Washington. In the spring of
!)49 I was appointed local
representative to southern
Oregon by Otis Elevator com
pany and have since that time
resided with my family at 124
Newtown st. My wife and I
have seven children. Five of
1 hem have graduated from
Medford schools and two are
now in school.
I am a member .in good
standing of a strong conserva
tive and well operated union

Survey Discloses
Errors by Nurses
Toronto, Ont. - furil - The
Ontario Hospital Association
convention has been told that
a recent survey showed that
the average nurse makes an
error in one of every six
medications given.
Miss M. F. Archibald.
school of nursing science In
structor at Peterborough Civic
Hospital, said Wednesday the
check showed only 36 per
cent of the errors were report
ed. She said the most common
errors resulted from changes
in color and size of capsules,
confusion between the metric
and apothecary measurement
systems, mixups in generic
and hade names and in pa
tients' mimes.

Specific issues vary, prog
ress and change so rapidly at
the municipal level that, con
sequently this statement
might be a belter gauge to the
citizens of Ward II of my
qualifications to continue my
eight years of representing
them on the Medford city
council if I set forth some gen
eral ideas and opinions.
Absolute courtesy should be
extended by all persons con
nected with the city to all per
sons, at all limes.
Leadership, teamwork, fore
sight, responsiveness, toler
ance, caution, and independ
ence of decision on the part of
a councilman will provide bet
ter government to the people
he represents.
Haste can make for bad
legislation and decisions. Few
matters cannot wail until the
next regular council meeting
and few matters should be re
quired lo wait longer. The
council's rules of procedure
are designed to protect the
public by avoiding hasty ac
tion and should be followed.
New Methods Sought
Doing things as they have
been done in the past, though
often the safer approach, is
not sufficient and new meth
ods must be constantly sought
in order to belter serve the

community and at more ef
ficient cost.
A councilman should be
ready and willing to state the
reasons for his vole.
To pass an ordinance is an
easy mailer, particularly
when citizen proponents
strongly advocate the meas
ure without anyone speaking
for the olhcr side (a very com
mon situation in municipal
government), but to insure
thai the proposed ordinance is
wise legislation in the long
range and that the public's
interest is truly being served
thereby is more difficult. Two
questions should always be
answered in the affirmative
before an ordinance is adopt
ed: 1. Docs Ihe public (most us
ually this would be the citi
zens of Medford) really need
this legislation, and
2. Will the good outweigh
significantly the harm or its
equivalent-loss of freedom'
Sound Growth
Sometimes action on the
part of the council is advocat
ed solely in the interest of ob
taining size or more money in
circulation. I question that
these arc worthwhile ends in
themselves. Sound growth
should not be obstructed, but
growth for growth's sake
would seem pointless. Other
factors such as liveability,
cost of government, esthetics,
nd maintaining an atmo
sphere where true (not mater
ialistic) values and the spirit
of freedom can flourish should
be considered.
A- councilman must always
be able to sincerely believe
that his council action will
have an even, equal and con
stitutional application to all
persons. Greater care must be
exercised in understanding
and treating the problems of
unpopular businesses or inept
citizens.
It has been said that "gov
ernment's goal should be ac
complishing the greatest good
for the long run." With that I
agree. Medford citizens have a
reputation for foresight and
pride in our community and
I should like the privilege of
trying lo further that fore
sight and pride for another
four years.
1 lake this opportunity to
thank my opponents for the
interest they have shown in
our city by seeking to actively
participate in our government.

UNDERWEAR HIDES VIEW
Thurrock, England IUPII
Mrs. Ivy Borlcy complained
today that her view of the sea
was being ruined by old
woolen underwear hanging on
the line at an old folks home
across the way.
"I'm no snob," she said,
"but this sort of thing lowers
the tone of the neighborhood."
