Since elections will be upon us again before we know 11," Davidson told Musa, trust that something can be done about this matter in the current legislative ses sion." Fine for Cat Killer Nullified by Court Philadelphia - (UPI) - A $100 fine imposed on Ernest Mas- sinl for killing his neighbor's cat in Lanark Manar, near Allentown, Pa., was nullified Tuesday by the State Superior Court.

The fine was levied on Mas- slni in Lehigh county court aiier a jury convicted mm oi shooting a cat owned by Mrs Olga Ollogio in his onion patch four years ago. The Superior Court said its ruling was not to be construed as condoning cat-killing. The fault lies with the legislature, the judges said. y fresh Gulf Coast From the unrulfltd Inlets of the Gulf Coast, Blue Plate brings you a delectable and true cove oyster.

Bosworth, a vice president of Pacific Power and Light com pany, in a talk here Tuesday. Bosworth addressed the Ashland Chamber of Com merce at its weekly luncheon. His subject was "Nuclear En ergy." Bosworth addressed the Ashland Chamber of Com merce at its weekly luncheon. His subject was "Nuclear En ergy." The problem with the world, Bosworth said, is that advances in technology have outstripped advances in the humanities. "Science has ad vanced tremendously in the last 25 years," he remarked. "I have heard it estimated that one half of our work force today is employed in the manufacture of products that were not in production 25 years ago." "On the other hand, the hu manities have advanced very little," he siid. "The problem is one of morality. We have developed the power to de stroy the world but haven't yet developed the power to keep it from being used." Bosworth outlined numer ous peaceful uses of atomic energy already In actuality, among them atomic powered electricity production plants. He foresaw the use of nuclear power In such uses as propell i n g automobiles, fertilizing soil, retarding disease and preserving food. "The cost of nuclear energy is going down all the time," Feature Writer Wins First Places Emile Abbott of Los An geles, whose feature storv de scribing a trip from Los An geles to Medford, appeared in the Medford Mail Tribune last summer, has been award ed first place In the contest, sponsored by California Press Women.

Gen Robert F. Kennedy said Tues day organized crime has had "more success" in recent years in making contacts with public officials, labor unions and lawyers - "particularly lawyers." "And more and more gang sters are going into 'respecta ble' business," he said. Kennedy said the organ ized crime infestation has reached into "all major cities, not only Chicago, but Detroit, St. Louis, Kansas City, New York - with the possible 'ex ception of the West Coast, especially Los Angeles." In Los Angeles, he said, police and local officials along with federal authorities have done the best job of halt ing racketeering. Kennedy acl owledged in response to a newsman's ques tion that Hot Springs, Ark., was "wide open." Cancer Volunteers Serve as Waitresses The local campaign of the American Cancer Society was enriched by $68.82 when women volunteers for the 1963 Crusade acted as wait resses and served lunch at the Westgate Oregon Food store, which sponsored the event by donating all the sup plies and proceeds to the Can cer Crusade. More than 350 shoppers paid 19 cents for the luncheon. Walt Vaughn, southern Ore gon supervisor for the food stores, was assisted by his wife in acting as general chairman of the event. Volun teers from Ashland were Mes dames R. E. Hoffman, Gene Litwiller and Phil Selby. Medford women who worked on the project were Shirley Boswell and Mesdames Al Boswell, Thomas Humphries, L. J. Robison, Lyman Smith and C. D. Larson. The luncheon was the first in a series of special events scheduled for March and April. or eased jvS fi &n I M 29,95 r' ' ;J:i I"'' Toi,ored sheaths end Jackets that art N I "CJ"''W V r'0' f'tted to the waist or eased to the hips ' " l00 r0y0n W l00k 0f Yes, we're working with officials there and plan sol -action, probably within six months," said Kennedy.
