John H arr spoke before the as­
sembled faculty and students
Wednesday at the Southern O re­
gon College of Education, describ­
ing his experiences during a year
and a half as prisoner of war in
Germany. He gave an unusually
vivid account of prison life, his
speech being more than a n arra­
tive of personal reaction. He tou­
ched upon factors which influen­
ced the camp life, with under­
standing and accurate knowledge.
Lt. H arr is a form er student of
SOCE, where he was active in
dramatics, an experience he turn
ed to use as a prisoner by enter­
ing into camp entertainm ents.
His dram atic ability was reflect­
ed also in his vivid narrative of
prison life, its humors as well as
its hardships.
Mrs. H arr was also a college
visitor w ith her husband.

SOUTHERN OREGON OFFICIALS
ASSOCIATION SEEKS REFEREES
W ith the coming of basketball
season in both the A and B lea­
gues of the Southern Oregon Con­
ferences a problem of providing
a sufficient num ber of officials
for the many games is facing the
Southern Oregon Officials As­
sociation according to Roland
Parks, head of the association.
Superintendents, coache s a n d
principals are urged to contact
interested men so that these men
can study the rules, take the ex­
amination and become credited
officials of the Oregon State High
School Activities Association.
During the football season the
Southern Oregon Officials Asso­
ciation has provided the officials
for over forty games. It was nec-
esary in numerous cases of an
official to work an afternoon B
league game then work again in
the evening. All schools including
Yreka California were furnished

Credited officials in Southern

Robert Millian
Robert Mullan, of Gold Hill,
will be on duty at the Chamber
of Commerce beginning Monday,
November 26, Earl T. Newbry,
president of that organization an­
nounced Tuesday of this week.
Mr. Mullan will replace Mrs. P.
H. Stansbury, who was employed
tem porarily several month ago to
keep the work up until a perm an­
ent secretary could be found.
In commenting on the appoint­
m ent Mr. Newbry stated that Mr.
Mullan is a Jackson county man,
just discharged from the navy a
couple of weeks ago. While he has
not been engaged prior to his ser­
vice with the navy in any Cham ­
ber of Commerce work, his back­
ground is very suitable for the
new position. He was very active
in Boy Scout work before his en­
listm ent and at one time repre­
sented the Jackson county scouts
at the National Boy Scout Jam ­
boree in Washington, D. C.
