The need for a home COM
munity non-partisan Civic
Club is emphasized daily as
our citizens and local tax
payers are met with problems
of jobs, civic improvements
and equal representation at
City Hall. We have. at hand
a recent letter from City
Manager James F. Shurtleff
in relation to a request to
study the possibility of in
creased safety traffic mea-
Sures in this area, following
the opening of the new speed
way through the heart of
the district. Such letters from
individuals should not be
necessary in a modern COM
munity. This is the work
of civic minded citizens, or
ganized to safegard the lives
and property of the people in
this community. People who
pay taxes should demand fair
representation and considera-
lions for the taxes they pay
The best way to forget these
Improvements IS the crea-
ton of a civic club concern
ed with the people living in
this community and not some
where else. We might as well
face the facts. Other civic
clubs are looking out for
other people and until they
look out for our people we
should form a local civic club.
to join with the others when
possible, but to be always
ready to stand up for this
community at all times. Our
Italian brothers of South Med
ford have followed this pro-
gram with great success at
City Hall including the acqui-
sition of Medford's first
italian Mayor. Incidentally.
one of the pioneer champions
of the South Medford dis
trict was a colored man, the
late and brilliant newspaper
man, James Franklin.
A local woman on the 1856
Medford School Board and
a local man in the 1856 Med
ford City Council could be a
reality instead of a vision if
the local citizens organized to
DO something about it while
they still have time. We have
qualified citizens to honor
these posts. Certainly no other
section of this city has any
finer group of property owners
and taxpayers. Yet We have
had only one woman run for
the School Committee from
this district and only three
men of the Community have
run for the Board or Council
in the course of half century
of residence in this COM
munity. The majority Of our
votes have gone toward help
ing others. 1t is time now to
help ourselves, as well
, Otherwise we do not deserved
to be helped at all.

'Dud' She'll Blast
Kills } Children

Ell PASo. Tex, Aug. 20 (R.-
Three small children lost their
lives last night in what one
official called lone of the worst
disasters the city has ever seen"
when a 90-millimeter shell ex-
ploded over a picnic fire.
Ten others were injured, one
critically.
Assistant Fire Chief w. E.
Wood said, There was food.
toys, chairs and clothing scat
tered all over the place. This is
one of the worst disasters the
city has ever suffered"
"One boy was blown right out
of his Shoes" MIR. Wood said.
Boys Legs Amputated
The explosion ripped through
an apartment house yard, killing
four year old Velma Morales in
stantly. George Valdez, 6, was
dead on arrival at FL Paso Cen
eral Hospital and Ricoardo Lu-
jan, died a short time later at
the hospital.
Hector Ramirez, 4. is in critl-
cal condition. Both his legs were
amputated.
One of the first to arrive on
the scene, Raymundo Santos, a
scoutmaster, said it was "one OF
the most horrible things I've
ever SEEM
Police said Mr.. Santos helped
carry the bodies out and admin
istered first aid.
Most of the injured suffered
either shrapnel wounds or seri-
lous flash burns.
Police said Carlos Valdez.
father of George Valdez, told
them he had built the fire in
the yard and the children were
roasting corn when the blast &C.
Cured.
Thought Shell Was bud
Mr.. Valdez told police the shell
had been lying around for some
time and that everyone thought
lit was a dud. He said he thought
the shell might have been picked
up when the family had picnic
a couple of months ago near the
Casner Range of Fort Bliss.
The others injured were listed
as David Marcial. 6; Irma Nor
tales, s, sister of Velma; Juan
Ortiz, 7; Fernando Ramirez, 8:
