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.
The maps include markings
for post offices, schools, rail
road stations, city halls, court
houses, and libraries. Streets
are marked as open for travel
or dedicated but not open. The
maps were prepared in co
operation with the bureau of
public roads.
People wanting the maps
may purchase them by writing
the traffic engineering divi
sion, state highway building,
Salem 10, Oregon. Checks
should be made payable to
the O. gon state highway de
partment.

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.
