See the School Fair This Week WHILE we observe the youth of today in foreign lands blindly heeding the whims of selfish, power-seeking dicta tors and demagogues, we are reminded of the words of James Bettie, Scottish poet and philosopher; "The aim of education should be to teach us rather HOW TO THINK than WHAT TO THINK." After surveying the tumult in the world today, the great historian, H. 0. Wells declared that "civilization is running a close race between catastrophe and EDUCATION." And so, it is to EDUCATION, wisely imparted, that we turn as the hope of civilization's ultimate triumph over catastrophe . . . the broadening of Intellectual horizons so that youth today will know HOW to think; will know how to appraise facts and conditions with basic soundness; will have wholesome skepti cism, tolerance and human sympathies. ..... "T"HE greatest hope of future society is INDIVIDUAL C'HAR- ACTER NOW!" Along with the home and the church, the public schools are entrusted with the responsibility of BUILDING this character in youth; upon the success or failure of their efforts rests the fate of civilization itself I Growing interest in our educational system is based upon America's realization of this tremendous responsibility. JIuch of the wealth of this nation is invested in the education of youth . . no public expenditure is more important I An occasional checking up on this investment; a frequent and frank appraisal of the returns we are getting for our educational money, is just sound, good business. We are justified in asking these questions: "Are our public schools meeting the responsibility entrusted to themt ... Is our educational system waging a successful fight in America's struggle to maintain her traditional principles of democracy and civilization itself?" Personal Health Service By William Brady, M P.

Comment on the Day's News HOW NERVOUS MAY A WO MAN RE AT FORTY-EIOHTf CO that the people of this community may take inventory of J the activities, the achievements and the nroitress of Modford schools,, public school officials here have planned an ALL SCHOOL FAIR, May 5 and 6, at the high school buil'ding. Herc; the work of the senior and junior high school and grade school students will be exhibited . . . competitive features liRve been eliminated and displays will be made by departments rathe than by schools. . VISIT to the All School Fair will show that Mcdford schools are not limiting their instruction to the "three R's" and rigidly prescribed courses ... the importance of practical vocational instruction; the need of creating interest in hobbies for leisure hours, are fully recognized . . . physical education and athletics of a nature that, ALL may- benefit, also have their place in the educational program today. Many Medford' citizens, who avail themselves of this oppor tunity to learn more about their own schools, will be surprised to find that splendid progress is being made in what are called leisure art classes" in grade schools. Entirely separate from the regular art classes, boys and girls are taught the art of pottery making, hand blocking of linens, bead and basket work wood carving and clay moulding. In the junior high school this instruction takes the form of "clubs" wherein the young sters are encouraged in such interesting hobbies as model airplane making, gardening and archery. In senior high school, tuihlifl snenkinir and radio broadcasting, music and dramatics find important places in the curriculum. Instruction in traffic regulations, the correct handling of automobiles and the rules of safe and courteous driving form another, essentially practical part of the high school educational program. f SCHOOL officials here appreciate the lact tiuit Hie large mainritv of students do not attend college; they recognize the need for practical vocational instruction so mat boys ana izirls will be equipped for remunerative occupation upon leaving Bchnol. The Future Craftsmen club in Medford high school has been the happy solution of this problem. Through this olub, young people actuallv work in stores and shops of this city during afternoons and Saturdays, attending classes and carrjmg lar school subjects in the mornings. Capable instruction is given in industrial relations; personal assistance and advice are available to each member; regular meetings are nein una mm vidua! problems ironed out. ... - - HIS newspaper enthusiastically endorsed this vocational pro- eram a vear ago ... . now, with 24 graduates of this depart ment working on .their original jobs or following the trade they were schooled in, we are more than ever convinced of its merit! Put the school fair on your MUST list for Thursday or Friday; see what the boys and girls in TOUR schools are doing; check up on YOUR investment. You owe it to the youngsters. You owe it to yoursen.

Man About Manhattan Ry OEOROB TICKER NEW YORK One day Isst Novem ber I was walking up Fifth avenue when 1 noticed a girl aitung at a Table In Child restsursnt. You could see her vary clearly through the piste glass windows and ah seemed so melancholy that after I had walked past the place 1 retraced my a tap a and went Inside. I '""-V - ' . Sha w it ft blond, there VfcOit lucui wu cup of ?offa In front of her and aha was M-noklng cig arette. Or mther. hn held ft lighted clicurette In her hand, pram time to tlm ahe tapped the edge of the Miirer with tt, to free, the A.-h, but she dtd thli lubconrH'loutaly. and It clear her thought rrre i thou- Mnd milM wat. Although h Mtmed TRguely (a- miliar. I was unable to place her, I drooped down at a table not far removed and studied her for a long t;me, and it aeemed at tha moment that X had never seen anyone as dejected or unhappy. Well, after a while, I got up and vent out and after a little while 1 didn't think of her again until a week later. I nw a two-column picture of her ftmlltng out of a morning newspaper. There waa noth ing unhappy about thla pose. Her name waa Julie Haydon and she had been enRaged to play the tngnue in a new play. "Shadow and Substance." The real la very recent and pratt ling Broadway hiMory. I think there can be no quratlon that Julie Hay- aon la the dramatic find of the ea tion. In thla play about Catholic Ire- iuiid aha plays a little drudge, whose faith and humltlty teaches an aus wr big-wig of the church that re I'glon. after all. ahould not be based on a clual. remote concept of Ood. Klnly give me some advice for my nerves, asks a correspondent, as I am Just reaching the critical time the change of life. Now, madam, you asked for It, re member. First I earnestly advise you to throw out the almanac and the old (quack) doctor book and If pos sible your treas ured collection of morbid notions about "female weakness," "fem inine hygiene, the "sickness' concept of men struotlon and the "delicate" idea of pregnancy. All that line of hokum Is calculated to keep the gullible sex good customers for (numerable lines of nostrums and quackery. It is calculated to appeal to the child ish Imagination of the women whose education has been shamefully neg lected the college woman, for In stance. I refer of course to physical education and to education concern Ing sex. The natural cessation of jnenstru otlon. which occurs generally around the age of 48 years In some cases five years earlier or later Is not i critical, dangerous or serious hap. penlng. it accounts for no "change' of life, no particular change of ap pen ranee, temperatment or behavior or feeling. It certainly causes no dis turbance of tha nervous System. To day, as education gradually per meates tho gullible sex more and more women are learning for them selves, from their own experience that all I have said here la quite true. So, If tho majority of women are In no way upset or "changed" by the menopause (except the loss of fertility or the power to reproduce) the unenlightened minority who still go by the almanac and the testimo nial have nothing to worry about as tbey approach middle age and noth ing to be "nervous" about after they get there. Of course I am aware that many ailments manifest themselves first around middle ae In men and women. I am singularly lacking In sympathy for anybody In, any cir cumstance, but I wouldn't blame a woman for practicing a little nerv ous Imposition at almost any time In , her life If she can get away with It and smooth her path a bit. The woman who suffers from hot flashes or flushes does well to heed them suggestion a: (1) Tf more than 10 per cent over weight, change the diet habit In a moderate degree particularly taking less refined carbohydrate. (3) Favor, hlgh-oajctum diet as much as possible milk, cheese, eggs, greens, peas, beans, carrots, nuts. (S) Try supplementing the diet for a month or two or three times a year with additional calcium and vitamin D (which promote utllt tlon of calcium). (4) If the hot flashes are too fre quent and too distressing go to your physician for a series of intramuscu lar Injections of ovarian hormone ( variously called amnlotln, theelln lutein, progynon). Recently several women who be gan taking calcium and vitamin D (for other conditions) reported prompt relief of the hot flashes from which they had been suffering. No woman who wlshea to keep well can afford to ascribe any kind of "nervous" trouble to her age. Ql'KflTfOStft AND ANSWERS Bleeder State What Is the cause of some person's blood not being able to stop running from a cut or bruise? (B. O.) Answer Hemophilia or the bleeder state U one cause. That Is some de ficiency In the fibrin forming func tion. Inherited. Another cause In rare Instances today ts scurvy, from prolonged lack of vitamin C In the 1let lack of fresh fruits, fresh fruit Juices, fresh vegetables or greens. A third cause of delayed clotting and excessive bleeding Is shortage of cal cium and vitamin D. Angina Pectoris Is It possible for a man with an gina peftorls (aiced 43 years) to be a father? Can you suggest any pro gram or general rules for such e. man to follow?. (T. J. E.) Answer A man with angina pec toris should marry only wlty. the approval of hU physician.

By FRANK JENKINS f ENBY FORD comes smiling from his mueA-dlaousaed conference at the White House, but as to what happened and what was said he la as mum as the proverbial oyster. Is he amillng with pleased antici pation, or Is he like the boy who came grinning from - the woodshed because It wasn't as bad as he ex pec ted? CONDITIONS, Ford told the walt lng reporters, are going to change and change for the better. And, he added, he doubts If there will be war In Europe In spite of gloomy dis patches from abroad. That certainly makes encouraging reading. The dickens of it Is, though, that Henry doesn't know any more about what is going to happen than you or I. But we'll hope his guess Is right. IN New York, they've Just formed an organization called the "National League to Oppose a Third Term for President." Senator Wheeler, of Montana (who led the fight against the scheme to pack the supreme court) says of the new organization: "Although many people seem to think the president will run for a third term, I can't conceive of any man doing It or winning If he tried." THAT sums up the uaae for and nt7oit the third term Idea. If Ihe United States of America decides to throw overboard the tra dition that no president may notd office for more than two term It will no longer be the United States of America that our fathers have known. As Senator Wheeler says. It's pretty hard to Imagine that as happening. the ocean to see the piny that Is making him Independently wealthy. He Is still here, and he thinks Eddie Dowllng, who produced it deserves a medal for casting Miss Haydon In the role of Bridget, the little servant girl. Meanwhile, some day soon. I have date with Julie Haydon to sit down and talk, and although she doesnt know It. we aren't going to talk In any hotel bar or restaurant. Not If I can help It. I'm going to take her over to a Child's restaurant on Fifth avenue and alt her down at that table where I saw her. alone and melancholy, one grey afternoon last November. 4 Willow Springs WILLOW SPRINGS, May 3.

He was also Interested In the Idea of an nual wages m the motor Industry an Idea which once fascinated, but more recently has begun to Irritate Mr. Ford himself. It Is said that the president referred briefly to both the quota and the annual wage scheme, but Mr. Ford showed plainly that he would have none of them. Evidently the mention of a gen tleman's agreement with his competi tors aroused Mr. Ford, for he la un- deratood to have aired hla theory of the alliance aalnst himself between Walter P. Chrysler and John L. Lewis, and to have tied the alliance to Wall street. It's further reported that he told the president what he hat bo often said elsewhere, that, In further ing the cause of the C. I. O.. the ad ministration has really served the large bankers.

Yakima 60 38 Oar It seems, however, that the real clashes were not between the pres ident and Mr. Ford, but between Mr. Ford and Chairman Marrtner S. Ec clea of the federal reserve board. Mr. Eccles had been brought in by the president as his second when Mr. Ford Insisted on the presence at the luncheon of his public relations ad viser, W. J. Cameron. Whether or not Mr. Eccles had cherished the hope of converting Mr. Ford to the New Deal's program, he appears to have prepared consider able propaganda material. The first Eccles sermon offered to Mr. Ford, so the story goes, was on the beautits of the administration housing program. I've done more for housing ray- self than the government has," snap ped Mr. Ford, who has large work men's projects at his factories. Mr. Eccles Is not easily discouraged. however. After his disappointment on housing, he is said to have whipped out a memorandum defending the ad ministration's new spending program. In .the memorandum was embedded the familiar Eccles maxim, "the more you spend, the quicker the recovery." Mr. Ford's answer to this Is under stood to have been a firm statement that "the less this country spends, the quicker the recovery." And, finally, Mr. Eccles is reported to have tried to discuss the automo bile business with Mr. Ford. An ar gument promptly developed, in the course of which Mr. Eccles waa quite naturally forced Into the position of telling Mr. Ford how his own Indus- i try should be run. This Mr. Ford Is stated to have met with the simple remark : "I think I've done pretty well tn the business myself." Whatever Mr. Ford said to Mr. Ec cles during the meeting, even If this report of their conversation Is not half as authentic a its source would Indicate. It Is certain Mr. Ford took a violent dislike to Mr. Eccles. After he reached New York, he couldn't get him out of his mind. Among other things, he asked lor the Eccles his tory. On being told Mr. Eccles was a Mormon, he said musingly: "That's funny. That's a well or ganized business." Altogether, the Ford -Roosevelt en counter seems to have been a fitting climax to the many efforts to bring the two men together. The first at tempt, made by the late Senator Couzens, was nearly successful. But. Mr. Ford got into trouble with the NRA and refused the president' in vitation. Thereafter Senator Couzens tried once or twice again. When Senator Brown succeeded to the Couzens seat, he too had his crack at it.
