IDEA OF EDUCATOR
Public System Would Sup
plement, But Not Sup
plant Present Private Sys
tems Boards Would Rule
WASHINGTON. May 17. vTt The
federal communications commission
had before It today a recommenda
tion for the establishment of a pub
lic radio broadcasting system to sup
plement but not aupplant the pres
ent private systems.
The recommendation waa made by
Dr. Arthur G. Crane, president of tivs
University of Wyoming, apeaKing on
behalf of the national committee on
education by radio.
Establishment of the aystem was
recommended after four year of
study and investigation made by tha
committee. Under the plan, programs
free from advertising would be made
available to American listeners and
also programs presenting entertain
ment 'and Information "to promote
the general welfare."
It was suggested the management
of the proposed public system be
vested In a series of boards, national,
regional and state, with suitable pow
ers to insure service to both national
and local needs.
The boards would be non-partisan,
"the members carefully selected from
leaders active In fields of public wel
fare, such as agriculture, labor, mu
eic. drama, schools, religion, science,
medicine, law, the arts and other
civic interests."
It wa further suggested the ap
pointments to the national and reg
ional boards be made by the presi
dent and confirmed by the senate
with appointments to state boards
made by governors with appoint
ments made from lists of eligible per
sona nominated by the supreme
courts of the statos.

Cronemillcr said the CCC organi

most popular of Franklin D. Roose

"It ts the man-building side of
the CCC that Is the fundamental
objective of the program, " he said.
"I have seen the sheer despair and
dejection of these youths as they
entered the camp and a few months
later have seen their confident stride
and the light of hope and ambition
rekindled in their eyes.
"The accomplishments of the CCC
are generally listed in terms of
miles of roads, telephone lines, trails,

I it is the less tangible social benefits
'that renlly count."

Thousands Preparing to
Leave Drought Sections
Says Larence Kirtley,
Gold Hill Area Newcomer
GOLD HILL. May IT. (Spl.) A
substantial shift in population from
the drought and dtist stricken arer.s
of the mid-west and southwest to the
Pacific coast suites Is destined to
take place In the next few months,
according to Larence K-lrtley of Say re,
Oklahoma, who has Just taken up
residence on Sardine Creek, north of
here. 1

Situated on the right fork about half
a mile above the point where the !
two forks of the creek merge. It con - I
sista of 100 acres, a small house and
a few outbuildings. The new owner ;
plans to produce garden truck and
cattle on a commercial scale, raising
only pure-bred white-faced Hereford
stock.
Many Would Migrate
"Already hundreds of persons have
pulled up stakes and left my part of
Oklahoma for the Pacific coast and
thousands of others are preparing to
leave as soon as they receive Infor
mation about conditions in other
parts of the country." Mr. Kirtley
said in referring to the exodus of
residents from the mid-west and
south-west. "The farm situation back
there is bad and there Is no Imme
diate hope for Improvement. Why. It
would take at least 40 years to get
those sections back to their former
shape" even if the federal govern
ment began the work of reclamation
and rehabilitation right now."
Because so much publicity has betfii
disseminated about the scenic an1
recreational charms and bounteous
productivity of California, most of
the emigrants are heading for that
state, particularly the southern part,
Mr. Kirtley stated. They know prac
tically nothing about Oregon, where
as they have heard and read so much
about southern California they be
lieve they are familiar with condi
tions there, he said, adding that "a
person always likes to go to a place
he thinks he knows something
about."
"Now that you have seen this part
of the country, do you think that If
pjfW r - "Its! r it 'W?r&'
people back In the mid-west and I
south-west had a better knowledge of !
southern Oregon they would be In-1
cllned to come here?" Mr. Kirtley was
asked.
rites Own Case
"I am sure of H." he replied airi
cited his own case as an illustration
The Kirtleys set out from Say re in
their motor cars a little more than
a month ago. In the group were Mr.
and Mrs. Kirtley, their son Arnold
and his wife and baby and their
daughter and her husband and child
The son-in-law and his family have
since returned to Oklahoma but Mr.
Kirtley believes they will soon be
back here. Another son who la In
business in Sayre Is expected to come
to southern Oregon also.
"Like so many others we had heard
a great del about southern Califor
nia and so we went first to Los An
geles." Mr. Kirtley related. "I didn't
like it there, however; It looked too
much like the desert to suit me.
"Then we decided to travel north
and settle around Portland. As wo
passed through southern Oregon f
was impressed by the climate and the
apparent fertility of the land. The at1:
did something to me; It perked me
up and made me feel better than I
had felt in a long time. Somewhere
between Medford and Central Point
I saw a farm for sale and I stopped
to investigate but It wasn't exactlv
what I wajited and we went on
through to Portland.
"Up there I was told about the
rains and I didn't like the Idea of
settling in a place where they have
a rainy season of several months each
year. I'm going back and look around
southern Oregon, I told the family
How It Happened
"Along the highway, somewhere be
tween Grants and Gold Hill. I saw a
little real estate office that had a
blackboard outside with some list
ings on it. I stopped there and that's
how I happened to get in touch with
Mr. Ritter and buy this place."
"Then it was more or less of an ac
cident that you settled here?" Mr.
Kirtley was asked.
"That's exactly what it was," he re
plied. "Have you written to your friends
back In Oklahoma about conditions
here?"
"I have," Mr. Kirtley said. "I've
told them all I'd rather be out her a
broke than back there with money
And that's the truth. The climate
here la wonderful. It does something
to you. Back there I used to have
stomach trouble a lot but I haven't
had a bit of trouble since I cam?
here, I like the cool nights you hav4
here. Back in Oklahoma the night:.
are as hot as the days and you ge:
up in the morning feeling almost
tired aa when you went to bed. He.
you are sure of a good night's sleep
and when you get up you are ready
for a-Jiard day'a work." -
Used to the vsst sweeps of the
prairies, some of the mid-wen and
south-west residents probably noul 1
not like It here because of the hllli.
mountains and winding highways bu.
most of them. Mr. Kirtley believe,
would find southern Oregon ss ac
ceptable as he does. It la his belter
that they would be favorably lm-
pressed by the fertility and sheer
beauty of the country.
Urrldrd To Move 1
For years Mr. Kirtley wo a suc
cessful farmer In Sayre. Oklahoma.
He raised cattle, cotton, corn, mair?.
wheat and other grnins. Then four
successive years of drought deprlvel
him of his two farms, one a half sec
tion, the other a quarter section, he
explained. He was attempting to bull-;
up another farm when, this sprlnc.
the devastating dust-storms swept
through the middle-west and south
west, leaving farms stark and nake:1
In their wake.
"I decided then that it was time
to move." he said.
Mr. Kirtley plans to Improve the
land he has boight. It will be a long,
slow Job. he explained, as there arc
only two acres cleared and the first
task will be to clear another 40 for
the growing of fel for the stock he
plans raising.
"I'm confident I'll make a go of
It here." he said, and Mrs. Kirtley af
firmed his confidence. "We love It
here." she beamed. "There are bo
many beautiful flowers and trees and
shrubs; It will take me a long time
to learn all their names. We're going
to enjoy It here and get a lot of
pleasure and satisfictlon out of de
veloping this land."

Buddy popples, symbols of the .

come to occupy a warm place In the '
memories and affections of all pat-'

First organized sale of popples on
a nnt Ion-wide basis, was conducted
In America In 1021. when the Franco-
American Children's league sold pop- j
pies ostensibly for the benefit of ;
children in the devastated areas ol i
France and Germany. Madam Ouer
in. "The poppy lady from France." j
sought and received the cooperation
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, of
the United States early In 1922. af-!
ter the Franco-American Children's i
league waa dissolved. Using only pop- i
pies which were made in France, the i
V. F. W.. with Madam Guerln's as- !
si stance, conducted the first national
distribution of poppies shortly oe
fore Memorial dny. May 30, 1923.
The following year, the V. F. W.
used popples manufactured In this
country, due to the delay and diffi
culty in importing them from
France. It was during that years
sale that the V. F. W. evolved the
Idea which resulted in the V. F. W.
"buddy poppy" fashioned by dis
abled and needy veterans. This plan,
which provided a practical means of
providing assist t nee to the veterans
by paying them for their work in
assembling the flowers, was present
ed to the V. F. W. 1923 encampment

plan and pledged cooperation of his
department. All men employed In the
