Flowers banked In a colorful mass
that entirely covered the foot of the
stage formed the setting for the beau
tiful commencement exercises Friday
night of the 42nd graduating class
of Medford senior high school, the
largest in the school's history, with
160 members.
In single file the graduates, girls
In soft colored formal and boys in
dark and white formal dress, passed
across the stage and were handed
their diplomas by Eugene Thorndlke,
chairman of the school board, In to
ken of four years of high school
preparation for the Important turn
ing point In their Uvea now reached.
Strong advice to "square themselves
off" for the trials and knocks of the
world was given the graduating clans
by Attorney George Neuner In the
commencement address.
Attorney Neuner, speaking at length
and emphasizing strongly the Impor
tance of staying with the Ideals of
the country, was an Impressive speak
er who carried a theme fitting well
Into the mind of each graduate.
He reviewed the present financial
and economic depression, urging the
clan suiembers not to lose hope, al
though conditions which confront the
high school graduate today may seem
black.
"The new deal is working,' he said;
"if It does not continue to work It
will be only because of fear. As Pres
ident Roosevelt once aatd, 'Alt there
Is to fear la fear Itself.'" Attorney
Neuner endorsed the new deal strong
ly throughout his address,
"There have been eight economic
cycles, all containing a depression,"
he continued, "and all have been ex
pected. In preparation for these de
pressions, schools generally must train
more thoroughly In soclnl and eco-,
nonilc problems." I
Attorney Neuner said communism
nd fascism will not fit Into the
make-up of the nation, declaring that
a complete knowledge of their work
ings Is the proper antidote.

(contributed)
Crowned with his ninety years, and
standing in the pulpit of the Pres
byterian church Memorial Day, Judge
Win. Colvig, past commander of the
Department of Oregon, Grand Army
of the Republic, gave such a sim
ple and .elevated reading of "The
Gettysburg Address" as one la sel
dom privileged to hear.
Prefacing his reading with a
graphic account of the historical
events Immediately preceding the
battle of Gettysburg, a brief sum
mary of the relative si.e of the two
arm lea and an estimate of the losses
on both sides, all of which seemed
pitiably small compared with the
colossal figures of the World War,
Mr. Colvig from the depth of his own
experience, seemed to convey to his
hearers something of the deep emo
tion that stirred the heart of Lin
coln when he set down those Im
mortal words which have become
both spiritual and redemptive. So
rare It Is to hear a reading of such
simplicity and fervor. Notwithstand
ing, or possibly becauso of, his wealth
of years, the Judge's voice rang clear
and true filling the room so that
hs commanded the attention of all.
The Home Owners' Loan corpora
tion, through Attorney Robert Htr-
mond, announced Saturday that new
applications for loans will now be
received. It was also announced that
It will not be necessary for those
who have previously made applica
tion to do ao again. In that the old
applications will be reconsidered. No
applications will be received after
June 27,
The same eligibility requirements
that the applicant's home must be
in danger of foreclosure, either from
a mortgage or taxes, will prevail. It
is not necessary that foreclosure pro
ceedings have been started, but it
must be poven that the applicant
owned the property prior to June 13,
1933, and that the applicant ia
either a resident on the property,
or Is temporarily absent.
The loans bear a five per cent
Interest rate, with monthly pay
ments for 16 years. A loan of 1000
can be repaid at a rate of between
$B and $0 per month. Of course, the
loan must be paid, or foreclosure will
.follow,
Numerous foreclosures have been
Instituted In cases where the bor
rowers have failed to meet their
payment when it Is apparent that
they have sufficient funds to do so,
at least In part.
AT PEAK SOON
The Deak Of the ll.r,n.h.i..tr.r
strawberry crop, estimated to be about
ovruiKo in quantity, win ne reached
early this week, according to County
Agent Robert G, Fowler. Although
the quantity Is average, the quality
Is suld to be better than for some
time past, with a good local demand
for the berries.
The making of Jams and preserves
Is well under wav. with hniMnwivM
demanding local berles rather than
wiose snipped in. although the latter
may be slinhtly chenner. The mak
ing of successful conserves requires a
fresh berry, and outside ones cannot
hope to compete with the local nro-
duct In this respect.
Although the single-bearing varie
ties of strawberries will be con in
short time, the ever-bearing types are
beginning to ripen and there should
be no lack of mmniv riniin ..
stated yesterday. The ever-bearing Is
generally considered slightly Inferior
to the slngte-benrlng berry, although
me rtogue itiver vaury need bow to
no district in excellence of either
type.
Openings for employment are avail
able for some of the members of the
Young Men's Vocational club of this
city, according to announcement yes
terday by Frank Hull, supervisor of
the movement, and James Keys, as
sistant co-ordlnator. The young men

pating In the Interesting vocational

at the Jackson County Chamber of
Commerce building between the hours
of 2 and o p. m. .This is immediate
employment and will not affect the
packing school, which is planned for
the early portion of the fruit season.

for the first of this wesk are as fol
lows: Monday evening. Group A,
Medford Domestic Laundry, Glenn
Fabrlek In charge; Group B, The Tog
gery, Wm. F, Isaacs In charge: Group

FALL OF FRANCS
PARIS. France, June 1. (AP) The
