His talk was so direct and point ed, and delivered with such sincerity, that the assembled crowd applauded heartily when his remarics were fin ished. The meeting was opened and closed by an Invocation asked by Rev. W. R. Baird, who also led the singing of "America" before the assemly was ad journed. The address by Mr. Banwell follows: "Once again, as citizens of Med ford. we pause from the busy hustle of business affairs to soberly and reverently reflect upon the memory of those whose achievements in the past have made It possible for us to enjoy all the blessings and pleasures which are ours In this great country today. "In every city, town and hamlet In America, this, the most beautiful and sacred of our national holidays is being observed today in a digni fied and reverent manner. "The occasion which has brought us together this morning, ia one that should especially cause us to remember and honor those who trod the earth before our time, and who have passed from our view and are now in that beautiful land where earthly trials and sorrows beset them no more, and who have heard the Master's voice say, 'Well done, thou good and faithful servant.' Remember Living. "I believe this occasion also should eause us to remember and honor those whose achievements have also been written Into the pages of his tory, but who are still with us. We should remember on this day that the achievements and works of those who have passed to the great beyond, nd of those who are yet here, have been, to a great extent, responsible for the sense of security which you and I enjoy in this country. "While perhaps the chief purpose of Memorial Day, since Its incep tion In 1868, has been to respect those who brought honor to this country in times of war, I feel, never theless, that we should also remem ber those who have nobly served their country In times of peace. "Patriotism should not be ex pressed only when the country Is in dire straits. Patriotism Is an out ward expression of love for one's country, and Is as necessary In times of peace, as In times of war. The solemn procession you and I have Just witnessed was truly an exem plification of patriotism. In that procession we aw represented n organization having Its origin In the memories and associations of the war of the American revolution. We saw veterans of more recent conflicts, and we saw men in uniform who as sure us protection for our national defense, and safety, in order that we mar continue to champion the cause of humanity, and guarantee to our citizens that Justice and liberty will ever be maintained for America. Those fraternal organizations In the parade were also represented purely from their dslre to express their patriotism In times of peace. War Reviewed.

Church Meet Cancelled The meet ing of the Women of Zlon Lutheran church, previously called for Friday, at the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Fluh rer, has been cancelled, It was an nounced today. Eupene Visitor 'Miss Jane Hansen Is a guest of Miss Catherine Keys in Eugene for Memorial day. Miss Keys was formerly In charge of the book keeping department at the Cinderella shop In Medford and Is now employ ed by the same company In Eugene the origin of Decoration Day both suggest speaking of wars why they were fought, and what good they did us. "The first war of importance In which the people of this continent were seriously Involved, was the American branch of the great seven year war, usually referred to as the French and Indian war. Through It everything north of Mexico, with a few minor exceptions became Eng lish speaking. This could not have been accomplished other than by war. Was the cost of that war worth while to us? Let us here pay our tribute of respect to the memory ot a man whose name Is seldom, it ever, heard in assemblies of this kind, yet who was, however, responsi ble for the beneficial results of that French and Indian war a man to whom every English speaking person owes a great debt of gratitude. That man Is William Pitt. Nation Created. "Soon afterward, as history meas ures time, came the war of the American Revolution, which resulted in the creation of a new Infant na tion. Thirteen separate communities, not often too closely related In prac tical affairs, were made one as a re sult. The bondage of the far away foreign court was entirely eliminated, and with It also was brought into action sentiment that prompted the writing of the Declaration of Inde pendence. "All through our history we have had Indian wars, and without them this country would not be what It la today, as they afforded the opportu nity for our pioneer fathers to dis play that dauntless courage and in domitable spirit which served as the foundation upon which has been built thla great nation of which you and I are so proud. "The War of 1813 certainly was a benefit to us because it assured ua protection against the previous intolerable treatment of Americans on the high seas. Indlvlslhllty Proved The Mexican war extended our boundaries and took In additional territory. Eighty-five years of nation al life since the writing the the Dec laration of Independence, had not answered the question of whether the United States of America was one na tion, and indivisible, up to the time of the Civil war. As a result of the Civil war. the United States of Amer ica became as one. One can not listen to the Gettysburg address, without realizing the important part which It played, In supplying the final and lasting answer, that this nation con id not long endure unless we were ab solutely united In purpose as Amer icans. You and I of the younger gen eration should ever deem It an honor and privilege to associate with veter ans of the Civil war whose ranks un fortunately, are thinning , consider ably as the years go by. Those valiant souls should be an inspiration to the rest of us, and their splendid example should serve to reaffirm our faith In the govern ment of the United States, that form of government which gives us more freedom than Is the portion of citi zens In any other country on earth. Then followed distressing condi tions in Cuba In 1898. Our sense of Justice and our desire to serve hu manity, so deeply stirred our people, that it was decided that Spanish rule in Cuba must end. As a result of the Spanish American war, the United States was placed In an important po sition among the nations of the world. Our Influence, of course, was greatly enlarged and our Interests and our opportunities naturally be came far more pronounced than here tofore. Right, might I say that had PINE there been no Spanish American war It Is quite possible that America may not have made the decision It did at the time of the World war. World War Not All Loss The World war la still fresh In the minds of many of us, or rather most of use. Here In this country today, one finds a sentiment of dissatisfac tion and disappointment, over the results of the World war, yet the con trary Is true. We have a great deal to be thankful for through the sac rifices of the men who took part In that ghastly affair. Some politicians will scorn today, the suggestion that we fought to make the world safe for democracy, and consistently com plain that we incurred the enmity of our allies as evidenced, according to them, by the unpaid foreign debts. What did we get anyway? Our mem ories are short. Have we forgotten the shadow of the German sword? which darkened the whole world In those tragic days of 1917. Why not recall here the centuries when all knees, of the then known, and civilized world, were bent forci bly to the rule of the city on the River Tiber In Italy. Could such a thing have happened again in 1017, and the world be forced to bend to the rule and discipline of the Kalsei In Oermany. I say "Yes," but thank God, the interference of the Ameri can Army and Navy made such a world wide dilemma impossible. The lives laid down through patriotic In stinct, and the money expended by this country, entirely removed this menace to our American Indepen dence. This brief review of what has been accomplished In the past. I hope has emphasized the thought that we muct never cease to be grateful, and acknowledge our heartfelt thanks for those who have kept the flag of America flying so that we may enjoy those privileges which are ours to day. What Of the Future In closing might I ask a question. which I think Is appropriate this morning. What about the future? What are you and I going to do to preserve and defend that heritage which has been given ua through the sacrifices, courage and determination of those who went before us? Vou might say we have no problems facing us today which call for united pat riotic efforts. We art not at war. Aren't we? What about the deep In roads that have been made by Com munism? We have an Important Job on our hands right now and no mem ber of a veteran organization or a patriotic organization can afford to desert the ranks at this time. The Ideals and principles upon which this nation was built and has prospered are seriously threatened by those who would seek to overthrow our government. Can we sit idly by and let those who encourage the lo mentlng of Industrial unrest, sabo tage and the provoking of geneial strikes take the leadership after all that has been sacrificed in years gone by to make this a land of the free for Americans? Citizens who have a love and res pect for their country citizens wno have any spark of patriotism In their blood should do everytnlng possible to stamp out this curse which Is fast gaining ground this curse which la a direct challenge to our American liberty. Communism is not Just an other topic for you and I to discuss In our dally walks of life. It Is a real thing and the most vicious enemy which confronts America today. Read some Communistic literature and see for yourself If you do not think we are Justified In asserting our pat riotism to combat this foe of Amer ican society. Religion Needed May I remind you that this Is a God-fearing Christian nation. Amer ica would never hare been what It la today had It not been for the rec ognition of its dependence upon the Supreme Being. Communism Is athe ism, and the future of our children at least ahould be sufficient reason that we concern ourselves with a subversive activity that would take away from us that trust In God which we have always cherished and with out which we could not long sur vive. Today we bow our heads In rever ence to the memory of those gone on. We express our respect and gratitude to those still here.

And In closing, may I be permitted to remind you that President George Washington, the Father of our Coun try, In his farewell address presented three particular cautions with res pect to Amerlca'a future that we may at thla time recall with profit. They were in brief as follows: No geographical distinctions, but a united Country. Implicit obedience to law. The absolute necessity for main taining a high moral standard, based on Christian principles. Eien Precinct EDEN PRECINCT, May 30. (Spl.) Mrs. L. C.
