National School Lunch Week
Being Observed in County
National School Lunch Week
opens today and schools of Jack
son county are joining those of
the nation in emphasizing the
importance of lunch in the over
all educational program.
In the 17 years since the Na
tional School Lunch Act was
passed, the program has grown
into a $l'i billion dollar a year
food service operation.
This year, almost 16 million
children in 68,000 schools across
the land will eat well-balanced
noon meals under this program.
Some 2.7 billion lunches will be
served in public and nonprofit
private schools in all 50 states,
Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin
Islands and American Samoa,

FIREBUGS ,
A firebug is somebody who
sets a fire: he mav set it nn
purpose, which is a serious of
fense under the law, or he may
set it accidentally. When that
fire is a forest fire, just think
of the suffering for untold thou
sands of animals! Just think of
their terror, anquish and pain.
ine racmc Northwest suffers
from many forest fires each
year with the destruction of
millions of acres of forest land.
Many fires are caused by care
less smokers. Other causes are
lightning, campfires, and indus
trial operations. Besides the for
est loss, the fires bring other
tragedies; the devastation of
park and camping areas, the
total destruction of animal and
fish life, and often the loss of
homes and human life as well.
This is what one expert has
to say about it: "During one
fire, men worked day and night
to Keep the roaring flames un
der control. Whole communities
were threatened, and wild ani
mals forgot their basic fears.
Wolves and deer fled side by
side; rabbits, their fur ablaze,
plunged into lakes; chipmunks
and squirrels tried to escape by
burrowing underground. Par
tridges, the most faithful of all
fowl, burned to a crisp while
they stayed on their eggs."
So, at all costs, avoid forest
fires. Here are some simple
rules to remember hy travelers
in our forests anywhere:
Never start a camp-fire un
less you have to.
Choose a spot carefully, on
a flat rock or gravel, and near
water.
Never smoke when on the
move. Use a lighter instead of
matches. Never leave a fire un
attended.
Be positive your fire is com'
pletely out.
The co-operation of everv citi
zen is needed to win the forest-
fire battle.
Children and their pels the
dog and the cat are tied in
bonds of affection deeper and
stronger than uithinking people
understand. To the child his pet
is a friend and companion.

Street Extension First
Stage in Development
The Siskiyou blvd. extension
from 10th st. to Willamette St.,
which was opened to traffic
Wednesday, is the first stage in
development of a "boulevard
type street," Medford Public
Works Director Vernon Thorpe
announced Friday.
Final plans for development of
the street provide for wide plant
ings and landscaped areas on
each side of the street, as well
as a landscaped median or "is
land" approximately 18 feet
wide between the two traffic
lanes, Thorpe said.
Certain species of trees, espe
cially approved by the street
tree committee, will be planted
in the future along each side of
Siskiyou blvd., well back of the
curbs. Street lights also will be
located on each side of the
street.
An oil mat wearing surface
has been placed on a high em

Tuttle Discusses Valley Pear Crop At
There are more than 10,000
acres of land in Jackson county
producing pears, Shelby Tuttle,
executive vice president of the
Fruit Growers League, reported
to members of the Southern Ore
gon Advertising club at a recent
meeting.
Thirty per cent of the winter
pears produced nationally are
grown in Jackson county. There
are 12 major shippers in the
area and 15 packing houses in
the Medford district, Tuttle said.
"Gift pears are a small per
centage of the volume shipped
as opposed to the bulk pack,"
according to the Fruit Growers
League officer. The usual pay
roll is in excess of $5 million.
It was down this year because
of the short crop.
Defending the importation of
Mexican nationals for harvest
ing pears, Tuttle said the Mexi
cans are brought to Jackson
county because not enough lo

Tuttle explained that pear
handling cannot be mechanized
because of the delicacy of the
fruit. He expressed concern over
the proposed expiration of Pub
lic Law 78, under which Mexican
nationals are brought into this
country. If the law is allowed to
expire, he said, considerable
hardship will result for local
pear growers.
The Mexican nationals have
