BUCK 1SLAND-oUR NEW PUBLIC PARK
WITH ALMOST every

WITH ALMOST every bathing beach on the Island
getting into private hands, it is significant that the Council
recently designated BUCK ISLAND as a public Park, and
IN the same bill made the way possible for the expenditure
OF public funds for its improvement. At the rate things were
going there is no telling what might have become Of Buck
Island, and its resultant exclusion from public use.
ONE OF on. most worked over themes has been eco
nomic development, and SO it is natural that we should have
our thinking colored by things economic. AS we look forward
to the development Of the tourist trade as one Of the ways
to increase revenues, Buck Island can become another
source OF attraction. In time the necessary funds might be-
come available for the development Of this Island park
as a great resort spot, and rise as a great selling point. Ger
tainly it is favorably located, far enough-away to make for
a real outing, yet near enough for the trip to be made in a
reasonably short time.
IT'S NOT necessary that we sit and wait until the funds
are actually available. We should proceed with the study and
preparation Of plans for the development of Buck Island,
land this can be done in any number Of ways. The public
should be asked to contribute suggestions which could be-
come the basis for a real plan, for which there will be varied
suggestions, these, in the hands Of the Parks and Fairgrounds
Commission or the Public Works Department, could be sift-
ed and the most practical ones incorporated into whatever
plans that department might develop. Nor is it necessary that
we lanuch forth with ultra elaborate plans. With simple, prac-
teal beginnings, these plans could be so laid as to make for
development as time goes along.
H BILL designating Buck Island a public park is, we
believe, one of the better steps taken by the present Council.
That Island is noD for the public, and should remain SO for
al time.

first World war, spoke regarding
universal military training as a
security measure and pointed out
that Pearl Harbor had amply dem
onstrated that American territory
could be invaded Unexpectedly by an
enemy. He viewed the recent Com
munist coup in Czechoslovakia as
closely paralleling movements by
Japan, Italy and Germany in the
years before the second World war.
Although the Legion does not want
war, it believes in adequate pre-
p~aredness, Adams said. He urged
that citizens express their views on
the subject to their senators and
representatives in congress.
He said the district convention
will be held May 16 in Red Lodge
and that Jim Amin is preparing
another great party for Saturday at
Columbus.
Various members and groups from

In a recent 16-day period, Rev.
Martin H. Juengel, pastor of st.
Johns Lutheran church of 400 Dur
land avenue, received 16 acknowl-
edgments from Germany for used
clothing that the ladies' aid of the
church collected and forwarded last
fall to the Lutheran Free Church
orphanage in Berlin for distribution
to needy people. With one ex-
ception all requested additional do

The church ladies sent 235 pounds
of used clothing in ID packages.
The postage, amounting to 1878,
vas contributed by various mem
bers of the congregation. The &C
acknowledgements were all received
here the last of January and the
first of February.
The one exception to the requests
for more donations was written in
English by a woman who said:
"Since a short time, things turn to

One plank of the Mayor reads:
that he favors" all laws to dis

many examples of the Mayor
stand ng by these words which
we'll tell you about later. This is
vital political year, and, as
usual, this community has no or
ganized non-partisan Citizens
Committee to act as host to the
many candidates who want to
speak here before the elections
next fall. Thesponsoring group
must be non-partisan. 1t should
not be the Church or the Center
although cand dates could speak
at the Center of even on the park
with amplifers. But there is an
ugly disrespect when politicians
wax bitter words inside a church,
the sacred house of any COM
munity, including our own. But
we have no non-partisan sponsor
ing group at this t me. We do
have few individuals who do
not represent the whole commun-
ity. Unless we get on the ball
| soon and form non-partisan
committee to hear all the candi-
dates, without prejudice or mall
ice, then we truly can not call
: ourselves a progressive commun-
ity. We will wait until the last
minute and be unwittingly in
f1uenced to throw rally" for
this or that candidate for a basket
of apples or something much less.
1t happens every political year
everywhere. And it's time we got
on the ball here in Medford.
Among those who agree with US
are George w. Edmonson, long a
sage vic leader here, and Mr..
Columbus Etheridge who at 2
years, old, woke up the homo
town people, by becoming the
first colored Medfordite to run
for the office of Alderman and
only lost but by few votes. 1t
won't be long before we'll have a

the people are behind him. A

already badly muddled political
picture
