Twenty-Seventh Ye-ar MEDFOKD, OREGON, SUNDAY, KOVKMBKR 27, 1932: ' r Z
Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
FOREIGN nations axe told bluntly
by the 'President of the United
States that they will be expected to
meet the payments on their debts
that will be due on December 18
That means that they must either
pay or DEFAULT. If they default
on their debt payments, their credit
will be seriously weakened.'
rWlUi BE Interesting to see
whether France, for example, with
her vaults bulging with about one
third of the world's total gold sup
ply and with ambitious plans for
' financial and military dominance of
Europe, will DEFAULT on her debt
payment that Is, will say to the
world at large: "I'm broke, and can't
pay what I owe."
AT the fairly ripe age of 113. we
are Informed by the Associated
Press, which prides Itself on Its rep
utation for accuracy, Fedroy Cassa,
a. native of Peru but a resident of
Oakland, announced that he was
through with women. Two years
later, at the age of 110, he died.
So, you see. It doesn't pay to be a
woman hater.
ON Thursday of this week of Nov
ember, 1932, which by long es
tablished custom was set apart as
Thanksgiving day, a great many
people undoubtedly said to them
selves rather bitterly: "I'd like to
know what I've got to be thankful
for this year!"
According to the standards of the
present day, the ' Pilgrim fathers
didn't have much but their lives to
be thankful for when they set apart
and observed the first Thanksgiving
day.
But they did, at lesst, have their
lives and their health and a FUT
URE. So they went ahead courage
' ously and did their part In the
founding of the greatest nation on
earth. '
VJ7E. too, have our lives. We have
IT our health. And, regardless of
what the pessimists may say,
have a great future before us. No
Intelligent person can possibly be.
Ueve that this nation has reached
. Its peak and that hereafter It will
slip backwards.
We have come through one of the
worst storms In our history, and a
lot of us haven't much left but our
shirts, but If we Save our COURAGE,
plus our lives and our health, we
at least have enough to be thankful
Nor.
That Is about all the Pilgrims had
when they set apart the first
Thanksgiving day, and they pulled
through and made a great record.
DURING the year 1932, which will
soon come to a close, toe Cali
fornia Fruit Growers Exchange nil
, spend for advertising the total im
of 1, 460,173.
Here Is the significant fact: The
California orange and lemon crop,
for whose sales promotion this large
um has been chiefly spent, will be
SOLD. There will be no huge sur
plus left over' to destroy the pros
pects for next year's crop.
The business of advertising Is to
SELL GOODS. In the case of the
Csllfornla citrus crop. It has done a
good Job.
YN the past 25 years, the California
' Fruit Growers Exchange has ex
pended for advertising Vie total
sum of 119,738,447, which Is a lot of
money.
But In these 25 years, oranges and
lemons have been established as a
household necessity in this country,
and consumption of them has been
built up to keep pace with rapidly
growing production.
This has been the salvation of the
citrus industry. If consumption
HADNT kept pace with production,
the citrus fruit growers would be
ruined.
Advertising has -done a good Job
for them.
flERE Is a raVier interesting fact:
Ten years ago, there were 132
companies making automobiles. Now
there are only 19 that Is, there are
only 19 companies making automo
biles In any considerable quantity.
Fewer and stronger. That seems
, to be the trend in all msnuiecturlng
Industrie today.

Half of the third floor, on which
Mr, Ford's room was reserved was
roped off to Insure privacy for the
noted patient, and employes of the
hospital were warned not to reveal
he was there.
These moves were typical of the
serve whloh the man who changed
the nation's transportation habits and
revised Its Industrial policies has
adopted m recent years.
During the recent presidential
campaign he parted somewhat from
this reserve, however, first to deliver
a radio address in support of Presl
dent Hoover, and shostly afterwards
to sit on the platform when the
President made a campaign speech at
Olympla arena here.
Mr. and Mra. Fordaccompanled the
President on his special train back
to Washington, and later the motor
magnate spent some time In the east.
William Cameron, spokesman for
Henry Ford, said the Illness and op
eration came as a great surprise to
him. He said Mr. Ford had been in
unusually good health recently.
At the Ford Motor company, of
ficials close to Mr. Ford said they
were keeping In constant touch with
the hospital. They said they expect
ed Mr. Ford would be out of the hos
pital and able to return to his of
fices within "a week or so."
DETROIT! Nov. JSWff') The first
serious Illness of his 69 years sent
Henry Ford to the hospital for an

After two weeks of Intensive work
and study the Publicity committee of
the Medford Chamber of Commerce
evolved a comprehensive plan which
should create unlimited publicity for
Medford, according to O. L. Mac.
Donald, chairman, and which will
not only provide the city with a vast
amount of publicity, but will tend to
promote a better underatandlng thru
out the rural districts surrounding
Medford; promote the use of Oregon
products, and be the means of brim-
Ing a number of conventions to the
city in 1934. ,
It Is pointed out by Mr. MacDon
ald that Oregon will celebrate its
75th anniversary' of Statehood on
February 14, 1934. and Invitations are
now being mailed by the Medford
Chamber of Commerce thruout the
United States announcing the fact
that Oregon's Diamond snnlversary
wm Be celebrated In this city, the
second week In June, 1934. It was
felt, by the committee, that altho
February 14 Is the exact date. It
would be better to postpone the cele
bration until June so that visitors
could Journey to Crster Lake.
Inasmuch as no other cltv hsa rec
ognized the fact that the 75th an

WARM SPRINIOS, Nov. 26. P)
In an hour's conference with farm

them today he hoped the short ses.

will be raised by the 1933 crop.
The meeting, one of a series of those
the president-elect will hold In evolv
ing a plan for dealing with the agri
cultural question, brought at Its end
an announcement from Louis J. Ta
ker, master of the national grange,
that a Joint gathering of five farm
organizations will be held In Wash
ington ehortly to seek sn agreement
upon the method to be employed.
Such a meeting will be In line with
the proposal Mr. Roosevelt made In
his farm relief speech at Topeka at
the beginning of his western cam
paign trin.
Taber said that while he gained
the Impression the president-elect
aid not wish to be placed In the po
sition of appearing to dictate to con
gress at the short session, Mr. Roose
velt Indicated he desired some legis
lation to be enacted for dealing with
the 1033 crop, otherwise a special
session might be necessary early In
the new administration.
The farm representatives who ap
peared nere today expressed willing
neaa to accept the export debenture,
the domestic allotmnt or any other

wth the farm aurplus. They did not

dealing with agricultural credla ored
It before Mr. Roosevelt, but did urge
some method by which the farmer
might hold his farm and home.
Under tho plan outlined by the
farm leaders for dealing with aur
plus crops, the farm board would be
given the authority to employ the
method a majority of Its members
deemed most feasible. Their proposal
is slmllsr to ts plan outlined In a

but never acted upon by that branch.
Taber aald the president-elect did
not Indicate a preference for either
