Aids Development
Of White City Area
White City-Industrial busi
ness, commercial business and
Medford growing, has at
tributed to the fact there are
approximately 1300 people
working in the While City
area alone.
The area has grown to ap
proximately 250 homes with
in a three-quarter mile radius
and due to the fact Medford
is growing this direction,
housing units that are geared
to prices people can afford
to pay and quality homes are
being constructed.
Families living in the area
wanting service and commod
ities within a reasonable dis
tance of where they are liv
ing, has attributed to the re
cent opening of the shopping
center. There are now 17 com
mercial enterprises, along
with a dentist, a post office
and a telephone company that
are now available.
The approximate distance
to Medford is eight miles.
Families are offered the ad
vantages of a swimming pool
and approximately eight acres
of park facilities and picnic
area.
Living in the area of em
ployment and shopping also
tends to reduce the fact that
most families are able to have
only one automobile, instead
of two, which also reduces car
traveling and traveling time,
thus allowing the non-working
hours to other advantages
and more leisure time with
the family.
The industrial volume con
sists of approximately 1,000
carloads of merchandise going
in and out of the area each
month. This helps to develop
and generate business.
There are seven plywood
plants, three lumber sawmills,
eight woodworking plants
and a Pepsi-cola plant. With
industry and business avail
able to families this tends to
keep the area growing. Tou
Velle park and the Rogue
river also offer the advantages
of swimming and fishing and
are only a short distance from
the area.

tree climber from British Co
lumbia. Sailor thrilled a ca
pacity crowd with his daring
stunts on top of a 96-foot pole.
He climbed the tree with axe
and saw, topped it, then stood
on the 12-inch top. As the
crowd watched in amazement,
he balanced on one leg, danc
ed the twist and then stood
on his head, leaning out at a
precarious angle. Sailor then
threw his hat from the top,
and in giant 15-fool leaps he
beat it to the ground in Just
two seconds more time than It
would take him to fall from
the tree.

a Grange deputy for some 20 years, there was very little

refusal started a rather warm argument. Now let me say
here, that when a man has to brace up his argument by
using profane language, and swear words, he is not speak

tell me he was a carpenter, and worked hard for what he got.
He, being a carpenter, doesn't mean to me that he works
