Two Escaped PWs
Captured Tuesday
Aashland Deputy Sheriff
Finds Two German Escapees
On Pacific Highway
Two escaped German prisoners
of war were captured near the
Bear Creek Orchards Tuesday
morning by Deputy Sh e r i f f
Vern Hastings of Ashland, who
picked the two men up while he
was cruising along the Pacific
highway. The two Germans, Wal
ter Wenner and George Saure-
bach escaped Sunday from the
prisoner of war grounds at Camp
White. The two men stated that
they were attempting to get to
Mexico after escaping.
Deputy Hastings found Wen
ner walking along the 'highway,
heading south, and recognizing
him commanded him to give him
self up. Knowing that there was
another escapee, Hastings looked
around and found Saurebach sit
ting under a tree. In the mean
time State Patrolman Cliff John
son came along and he helped
Hastings take the men to the
court house in Medford where
they were held for the night as
the Provost Marshall’s office at
Camp White was closed for the
day.
Deputy Hastings is establishing
a reputation as a PW capturer, as
he found an escaped PW some
weeks ago, finding him also
walking along the Pacific high
way, heading south.

Lions Club Hears
Talk on Radar Need
Navy Recruiters Tell Of
Urgent Need For Men
Trained In New Weapon
First Class Petty Officer, Herb
Crain and Chief Petty Officer
Robert Stewart of the Medford
Naval recruiting office, were
guests at the regular meeting of
the Lions Club Tuesday evening
at the Plaza Cafe. Following the
dinner, Mr. Stewart talked at
length on the need of the navy
for young men trained in the new
secret weapon radar, and ex
plained the method by which the
navy chooses youths for this train
ing. Young men, who have had
sufficient education in mathema
tics, science, electricity and sev
eral other studies, to be able to
pass a stiff examination, which
the navy calls the Eddy intelli
gence test. A young man, or men
between the ages of 17 and 38
who can pass this test satisfac
torily is then given a seaman
first class rating and is sent to
the Great Lakes Naval Training
Station for his basic course of
13 weeks, following which he is
sent to various schools through
out the nation, under direction of
the navy for his final scries of
studies, which if successfully pas
sed, will qualify him for a petty
officers rating at the end of a
year. They are then detailed l/i
man and service the radar mach
ines, either afloat or at some
shore installation. Due to the ex
tended time of training and the
huge increase in the number of
these radar machines, the navy
is undermanned in trained men
for operating them and is push
ing enlistment in the program.

“Code of the
Fearless”
O ST of us aren’t satisfied with buying—or growing
or manufacturing—something that’s “ just as good.’’
W e want something better. And, in most cases, that
something better comes through competition.
For competition— real competition— is something be
sides two people making, or offering for sale, the same
goods or services. It involves a lot more. And anybody
who serves the public prospers because he has something
better to offer—whether it’s quality, prices, service, or
just a clean appearance and a pleasant smile.
Real competition doesn't come from punitive taxes, or
subsidies, or any other sort of horse-race handicapping
to make everybody in business start even. For it isn’t
«quality that’s needed; it’s the inequalities that are the
true measure of progress.
Real competition is the kind that encourages the
manufacturer, the farmer, or business man to get his
quality up, his costs down, and to develop new things
his customers want. It's this kind of competition that
produces something better rather than something just
as good—that insures to the public a steady increase in
the value it gets for its money. General Electric Company,
