A Christmas gift so rare and pre
cious that only a chosen few ever
receive It will be delivered tomor
row to Jackson county's Number 1
old-age pensioner.
Tomorrow the Creator will de
liver to Philander McEntyre his
100th birthday!
Born December 24, 18351 What a
thrill It must be to look back over
a century, a century packed with
drama, excitement, turmoil, devel
opment and expansion. A century
that saw this country grow from a
small, struggling collection of rur
al states Into one of the greatest
powers the world has ever known.
To live through a century that has
witnessed the greatest advancement
in art, science, agriculture and in
dustry history has ever recorded.
Century of Progress
Today Philander McEntyre can
look back to December 24, 1835, and
say that he has seen It all. He has
witnessed four great wars Involving
this country; eight or ten major
economic depressions; periods of ex
traordinary prosperity; the subju
gation of the Red man; the ma
chanlzatlon of agriculture; the de
velopment of steam, gas, electric,
gasoline and Diesel motive power;
the perfection of uncountable In
ventions so astounding as to defy
comprehension: the penetration ox
frontiers from the Alleghanles to
the Pacific; new conceptions of
economic and social orders; - the
progress of the nation from the
days of the horse and buggy and
the candle light to the present age
of fleet machines and electric illum
ination. He can look back upon this
amazing development on Christmas
eve when peace comes to men of
good will.
Mr. McEntyre was born December ,
34, 1835, near Urbana, Ohio. He i
came to Medford In the early 1000's
and has lived here ever since. Twen
ty-five years ago he went to work I
for Dr. Charlea T. Sweeney and
since then the good doctor has been
his benefactor. "One of the , most
splendid men I have ever known,"
Mr. McEntyre said of the physician.
Eight years ago, when Mr. Mc
Entyre was 03. Dr. Sweeney told him
that his life's work was done, that
he must no longer engage In ardu
ous toll, that he must rest. Reluc
tantly Mr. McEntyre, used to a life
of hard work, gave In.
Dr. Sweeney Assists
Dr. Sweeney provided him with a
cottage on his property on the old
Central Pclnt highway. He furnish
es the old gentleman with provis
ions, fuel, water, light and medical
care. With these and a county pen
sion of $10 a month. Mr. McEntyre
manages. He llvea by himself, with
a black cat and a dozen chickens
for pets and companions. He does
his .own cooking and washing; he
splits his own wood.
Save for a little palsy and a
renter susceptibility to colds. Mr
McEntyre Is In excellent health. Dr.
Sweeney said today. While he Is
short of breath, his heart Is organ
ically sound, the doctor stated. TT?s
mentality, he said. Is extraordinary
And Indeed his mind is unusually
alert, on Interview with the old
gentleman demonstrates. He keeps
abreast the times by reading the
newspapers, though of late he has
been confining his reading mostly
to his Bible which he sturt'es dMlv.
"If more people would follow that
hook." he said. Indicating his Bible,
"instead of following one another,
the world would be better off " 1
"Do you think the morals of the
world are rother low?" he was asked !
"Decidedly so." he replied quickly
with an emohntic ncrt of his head. ;
Attends Own Business 1
"What do you intend doing about ;
it?" j
"I don't propose anvthlng. for it's !
none of my business." he declared. I

100th Year;
Views on Life
to decide for himself. We tried to
legislate morals with the prohibi
tion law and with what result? This
la the result: today New York. Chi
cago, Boston and all the other big
cities are teeming with criminals
of the worst sort. Those criminals
were made possible by prohibition.
They became wealthy making and
selling poisoned liquor and with
their wealth came power. That's
vhat happens when you try to tell
your neighbor how to live.'
Mr. McEntyre has sharp eyes that
sparkle aa he replies to questions
and that reflect impatience when
the questions appear silly. His sight
is good for a man so old, and be
Is now sparing them by limiting bis
reading. He wears glasses. His hear
ing Is acute. He Is slender and gen
tle and likes nothing better than to
dance a Jig to show how young and
spry ho la.
Habits Are Temperate
Mr. McEntyre was to have been
honor guest at the Christmas party
given by the Eagles Friday night
but he was afraid to risk coming
out Into the night air. The next
day, however, members of the Eagles
drill team went to see him and left
htm a box of cigars. Tomorrow he
is to receive a Christmas basket
from the lodge.
Mr. McEntyre enjoys his pipe and
an occasional cigar. Hts habits, said
Dr. Sweeney who has observed him
clcsely for a quarter of a century,
are temperate. He has not taken
alcoholic beverages since he was a
youth. He retires early and arises
before sun-up. He Is a light sleeper
Dr. Sweeney said, became of an old
habit of being alert at night for
prowlers around the Sweeney estate.
Mr. McEntyre Is an honorary
member of the Eagles and reputed
to be one of the oldest Eagles In
the country. He was Installed as an
Eagle when he rece 1 ved h la f Irst
pension check as the Eagles hove
long worked for old age pensions.
Gets Flrt Pension
Mr. McEntyre received the first
old age pension check issued by
Jackson county. He Is the county's
oldest pensioner and Is believed to
be the oldest person In southern
Oregon. Ho received the pension on
February 30, 1934.
Asked If he remembers vividly the j
depressions of the past, Mr. McEn-!
tvre replied that he did, adding:!
"But I've never seen a depression
like this one.
"What I'm afraid of," he stated in
discussing economics," Is that they
're going to put Hoover back In
and then the rst of the country
will starve.'
Mr. McEntyre said he had been
a life-long Republican until Mr.
Heaver was nominated. "Then I be
came a Democrat," ho said.
Mr. McEntyre believes In Mr.
Roosevelt, saying the President Is
trying to help the people in spite
or unreasonable opposition and ob
stacles placed in his way.
Modern Life Too Fast
His criticism of modern lira Is
that "women, and men too. dress
to scantily, live too fast and chase
too strenuously after what they
think is a hell of a gcod time."
"Do you hone to live another
hundred years?" Mr McEntyro was
naked
"Of course not," he snorted "Why
hono for the impossible?"
"On Christmas day what wilt be
vnnr irreatcst hope?"
"My greatest hope. he replied
without hesitation, "would b for
- better world."
He did not say whether he meant
this world or the next.

President Roosevelt told this hith
erto unpublished yarn on himself to
a friend the other day:
The annual supreme court dinner
at the White House last year was
held at a time when the gold deval
uation clause was under considera
tion by the court. It so happened
that the dinner was served on the
famous White House gold -embossed
plates.
Mr. Roosevelt noted the opportun
ity for a chance remark on tht ap
propriateness of gold embossing upon
Matters provided for the honorable
court.
Just about five Justices laughed
but the oVicrj. probably four, drew
their lips tightly together and de
clined to smile.
No Inner surprise was felt at the
Soviet-Japanese border clashes. Our
boys received advance word that ten
sion was Increasing in outer Mon
golia and that border incidents were
likely. The answer to it Is that the
clash area Is a communist strong
hold at tha moment. Japan does not
like that near Its puppet empire of
Monchukuo.
The Japanese have been trying to
buy off the Mongol leaders without
much success. They always try bay
onets next.
The Plttman speech In Nevada.
About the same time, sounded like a
second alarm to a Japanese-United
States war. No one here responded
to that one either.
While Senator Plttman Is chair
man of the foreign relations commit
tee, he spoke on that occasion with
out official prompting and under his
own personal auspices. Hts views
about the obviousness of Japanese
aggression In the Pacific are shared
by several cihrr rvHirresemen who
went with him on the Philippine
Junket.

The wise ones here also thought
they sa- a ray of peace light showing
through the lately headlined British
war gloom. Their transatlantic tele

that British pessimism was the nat

Hoare-Laval peace plan. In other
words, by laying the war scare on

their retreat from their unfortunata
peace scheme.
No U. 8. authority can say any
