Weather Has Not Hurt Fruit Crop The current cool weather and rains have not seriously hurt the pear, peach and ap ple crops in the Rogue valley, but the vegetable crops arc about two weeks behind, County Agent Don Berry said Saturday. Considerable scab has been noted in local apple orchards, but if sprayed soon should not produce serious harm, it was explained. Cancberries "are not too good" because of the cool, wet weather. Berry said. Valley production may be light. Cool nights 'have stopped tomatoes from setting. Tem peratures of 65 degrees or more are required, he ex- ed. Tomato plants in blossom have not been poltcnlzed be cause of the weather. Growers were delayed In getting cantaloupes into the ground due to a wet spring and now cool weather has delayed their growth. There will be approximate ly a half crop of peaches, but cool weather will not hurt them, Berry said. "We will probably have the largest size peaches that have grown in the valley for c number of years. They are al ready unusually large for this lime of year. The peach crops is expected to be ready for picking in August," the coun ty agent said. The five map sheets for Ashland cost $1.25 for the large size and 0 cents for the small size. The maps for Hood River, lone, and Oak land are 25 cents each for the large size and 10 cents each for the small one. The large maps are drawn to the scale of 80C 5ect to the inch and are plotted on 17 x 19-inch sheets. The reduced- size map uses a scale of 1,600 feet to the inch on 7'ixll- inch sheets.

Importance of Legal Aspects Of Separation Are Reviewed The importance of main taining the legal aspects of the separation of church and state was stressed Friday night by Glenn Archer, Wash ington, DC, executive direct or of Protestants and Other Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, in a talk here. Speaking to a crowd of more than 250 persons in the National Guard Armory, Ar cher reviewed the history of the group organized in 1947 and some of the cases in which it has been active in its fight to guarantee religious liberty to the people and churches in the United States. Archer, a former farmer, teacher and dean of a college law school, stressed that any church which cannot live on its own finances is dead. Loses Main Purpose "Religion loses its main purpose when it is attached to the slate," the speaker con tinued. As a tool of the state the people lose respect and obedience for it, Archer said. "In countries where there are state churches, members of other faiths are second class citizens," the lawyer com mented, mentioning England, several European countries, and several in South America. The speaker noted that only one church in the United Slates has publicly stated that it has a program to obtain public tax money for support of its programs. Put on Public Payroll "The way to kill a church is to put it on the public pay roll," he noted. The speaker explained that POAU is not hostile to any religion and does not place any church in a preferential position. He stressed the im portance of equal rights for all - Christian, Jew, and athe ist. "Our controversy is with those lawmakers and law ad ministrators who would yield to the demand of any church for a relation to the state which the Constitution for bids," Archer continued. He noted that about 200 legal actions undertaken by POAU have saved the Ameri can public more than $80 mil lion plus unknown millions saved through campaigns and action which prevented ap proval of legislation that would invade the meaning of the First Amendment. In Resulting Drive One example cited con cerned the gift of 160 acres of land by the City of St. Petersburg, Fla., to the Pres byterian church seminary. Through the efforts of POAU the land was appraised and Negroes Schedule Rally in Savannah By United Press International Negroes have scheduled a mass rally in Savannah, Ga., tonight to decide whether to resume demonstrations in that racial trouble-spot. Further demonstrations were called off Monday pend ing the outcome of negotia tions between white and Ne gro leaders. But demonstra tion leader Hosea Williams threatened Thursday to re sume mass protests unless six Negro demonstrators were re leased from jail. City officials have flatly refused to free the Negroes, who include Williams' top aide, 19-year-old Ben Clark. Authorities said the group Was being held without bond as habitual lawbreakers. At Cambridge, Md., anoth er continuing hotspot, Ne groes vowed to demonstrate continuously "if and when the National Guard is with drawn." The Guard was sent to Cambridge several weeks ago to stamp out racial vio lence. Negotiations to solve the city's racial problems ap parently are stalemated. the church paid $500,000 for the property. He noted that in the result ing drive for funds by the col lege, the residents contributed $600,000. Another case in which POAU was active con cerned the Christian Brothers Winery in California in which the Internal Revenue Service collected nearly $4 million in back taxes. Citing a case in Oregon, Archer explained that POAU was active last year in the court action regarding free textbooks to parochial schools. He stressed that requests for tax money far parochial schools is the big issue in the separation of church and state question today. A r c h e r's appearance was sponsored by a group inter ested in establishing a branch of the national organization here. A temporary committee has been functioning under the chairmanship of V. L. Armstrong. 714 Park ave., Medford. The speaker was introduced by the Rev. Bernard Andrews, minister of First Baptist church, -who was master of ceremonies. Maynard Hadley directed the singing and Ray mond Lewis was organist. SAMBO'S OPEN 24 HRS. 1025 So. Riverside At Your Favorite Grocers!
