Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON FRIDAY. JANUARY 23, 1963 Placement Tests For Peace Corps Scheduled at MHS Peace Corps placement tests will be given in room 13 of Medford High school on South Oakdald ave. Saturday, Jan. 26, at 8:30 a.m. More than 20 applications for the examination had been received at the Medford post office Thursday, indicating that at least that many candi dates would be taking the tests. Persons who take the tests will be considered for new Peace Corps projects in Latin America, Africa, the Far East and in the Near East and South Asia. Anyone in the Medford area interested in taking the tests is advised to contact Leonard Nelson, Civil Service examin er in charge, at the Medford post office. Conducted ax Centers The tests will be conducted at 823 civil service commis sion testing centers through- YaNTiNes and Party Goods Severn,'. Medford, Or. 217 E. Main, out the nation, which doubles the testing facilities previous ly used, according to Douglas Kiker, chief of the public in formation service. Most of the jobs to be filled at this time fall into the ma jor fields of education, agri culture, health, construction and community development. Applicants must be Ameri can citizens who are at least 18 years old. There Is no upper age limit. Married cou ples without dependent chil dren may apply providing both qualify for Peace Corps service. Interested persons who have not previously filled out a Peace Corps questionnaire may take the tests on a space available basis and complete the questionnaire after the tests. Two Types of Tests Two types of placement tests will be given. One Is for men and women who would like to teach in the Peace Corps at the secondary school and college levels. For this, a bachelor's degree is usually required, although the appli cant need not be an accredited teacher. The general examination is for all other Peace Corps as signments. However, an applicant who chooses the test for teachers may take an additional test in the afternoon in order to be considered for other positions as well. While many of the projects require technical skills, some do not. Liberal arts graduates, for example, are often assign ed to community development work after they receive spe cial training, or to teach Eng lish at the elementary school level. People with general farm backgrounds might be assigned to agricultural proj ects without being highly skilled in any of the many ag ricultural specialties. GP Telephones Are Now All Numbers Grants Pass - Grants Pass and Rogue River telephone users switched to all number calling (ANC) last week, but it was a change "in name only." Glenn Kennedy, local man ager for Pacific Northwest Bell, explained that numbers will still be dialed in the same way, differing only in the way they are written or spoken. A typical Grants Pass telephone number, for instance, will now read 479 2090 rather than GR 9-2090. New directories are now arriving by mail, and delivery is expected to be completed in about a week, Kennedy said. Try and Stop Mo By BENNETT CIRF- A HUSBAND who was not exactly masterly when his wife was around came home at about 4:00 a.m. one time to receive the tongue-lashing he expected. Tine hour to weak in," shrilled his wife. I suppose you're going to give me that old routine about being out some where holding a sick friend's hand." "My dear," said the husband sadly, "if I had been holding his hand, we'd be considerably wealthier today." At the HlUcrest Country Club in Beverly Hills, the afternoon bridge games are taken very seriously. Geonre Burns tells of one hand where he and his partner bid seven spades, vulnerable. One of their opponents had recently recovered from a heart attack. After some deliberation, he took out a nitroglycerin tablet, placed It under his tongue, looked at his cards again, and said with a deep Ugh, "I double." In Miami Beach, Hotel Impresario Ben Novack asked an 8 y ear-old visitor whether he planned to swim in the pool or the ocean. "The pool," said the boy firmly. "The ocean's too tall for me." 1963, by Burnett Cert.

The former prisoner, John Martino, 59, came here to testify before a special meet ing of the Inter American Commission of Human Rights which is winding up a three day investigation on Cuban prison conditions. He de nounced the State Department to reporters, saying it had "failed to help" the 23 Ameri cans still in Cuban jails. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS From Salem: Senator John D. Hare (Re publican, from Hillsboro) says YouM make the wisest choice no matter which Chevrolet you choose! These four different cars are alike in one important way. Each is a product of Chevrolet Division of General Motors. That means any one will give you more for your money in performance, beauty and comfort . . . plus more good news come trade-in time. However, each of these fine cars has its own way of being distinctive too, because each is tailored to the interest of a certain kind of buyer. Our big Chevrolet, for example, with its Jet-smooth ride, luxury and styling you'd expect in cars carrying a much higher price tag. Chevy II with its parkable size, sparkling perform ance and outstanding fuel economy. Corvair with rear engine maneuverability and the instincts of a sports car. And the dramatic new Corvette Sting Ray, America's most exciting car becomes America's most advanced car, now available as a two-seater coupe or convertible. In all, the Chevrolet line presents 33 hand some new models to choose from ... a variety designed to suit the needs of just about everyone. So it comes down to a question of which one suits vou Jffi&ffififjjfijf -best. Whichever your choice, you can be diuc it. o a wiac uuc ... auu uiie yuu ll ue happy with every day that you drive it.

COURTESY CHEVROLET 9TH & BARTLETT MEDFORD PHONE i 772-6115 he will introduce a bill reduc ing the Oregon personal in come tax by 10 per cent. An nouncing his intention to the reporters (possibly with his tongue in his cheek) he said: 'President Kennedy has proposed a federal tax cut of $13.5 billion to bolster the n tional economy, and any tax cut in Oregon should IM PROVE the state's economy. If it's good enough for Prest dent Kennedy, it's good enough for me." rpHIS suggestion, sir: -a Add to vour bill a clause requiring that for each dollar of tax reduction there must be a reduction of a dollar in public SPENDING. That would make sense. NOW one from Denver: The Republican domi nated Colorado legislature completed passage of a bill cutting state income taxes by 15 per cent on money earnea in 1962. The bill is expected to reduce state revenues by around eight million dollars. WATCH it. " If the new law reduces revenue by $8 million and the legislature sees to it that total Colorado spending is reduced by $8 million, the economy of Colorado will be strengthened to that extent. Former Cuban Prisoner Tells Of Atrocities A "Is there any reason for James B. Donovan to pay mil lions of dollars to Castro for the Bay of Pigs invaders with out specifically including the Americans In the deal?" Mar tino asked. "These Americans have become the forgotten men in the ransom negotia tions." Martino said one of the worst Castro atrocities took place April 23, 1962, in La Cabana Prison when more than 1,600 inmates rioted in protest against attempts to force them to attend Commu nist Indoctrination classes. "Guards rounded up the 200 ringleaders and forced them to run a gantlet with 40 guards on each side who viciously beat them with bay onets, rifle butts and chains and threw them into an out door pit without any medical attention," Martino said, add ing that one of the ringlead ers, a one-legged man, subse quently was shot. Martino was arretted July 23, 1959, 20 minutes after he arrived in Havana to do busi ness for an electronics engi neering firm. He said he never learned why he was arrested and the U.S. Embassy "only gave me promises of help but nothing else." The embassy later was closed. STUDY OF STUDIES Hartford, Conn. -lUPD-House Speaker J. Tyler Patterson has called for establishing a legislative study commission to study studies made by oth er study groups. BTHE BIBLE CI SPEAKS TO YOU PI Sunday, 9:00 a.m. K-SHA-860ke fall ' Chriuim Sciau rfg" "How Cm Wt Achieve Mere?" BUT If the Colorado legisla ture, after piously reducing revenues by eight million dol lars, turns around and spends TEN million dollars for some thing it could have got along without, it will be a horse of another color. Shennanigans of that sort merely get the taxpayer deep er into the hole. HOPEFUL sign of a possible return to normalcy: Four Salem police officers were rushed to Doney Hall on the Willamette University campus at an early hour the other morning when a noisy group of male students staged a PANTY RAID on a women's dormitory. The crowd scattered as the officers arrived. No arrests were made, but one student was turned over to the uni versity dean of men after throwing a lighted firecracker -as he should have been. Lighted firecrackers have no place in a panty raid. MRS. MILDRED MEAD HALL, house mother at Doney Hall, told the police: "There was no property damage, and there were no in juries." (She admitted that "some women's underthlngs" were missing.) The officers, feeling that all's well along the Willam ette, left the campus at 12:30 a.m. Carolina Pacific Buys FS Timber Yreka-Carollna Pacific Ply wood, Medford, was the high bidder for 12,500,000 board feet of Klamath National for est timber.
