Group Visit Lakes
Over Sunday
Miss Vera Humphrey and her fath
er, I. H. Humphrey, took their house
guest, Mrs. E. E. Greene of Eugene
on a very pleasant trip yesterday.
The group drove to Union Creek
where they prepared luncheon and
then went on to Crater Lake and Dia
mond Lake. This was Mrs. Green's
first trip to the lakes in a number
of years and she was greatly Im
pressed with the scenic beauties of
the country.
And she
still pursues
the villain
THAT slicker, Osgood Mc
Throckmorton, once stood
as the symbol of stick-to-it-ive-ness.
Nothing thwarted his de
termination to possess the vir
tuous heroine. The situation
never varied. Always the villain
still pursued her over the
damp grass she fled regardless
of consequences.
Today the situation Is re
versed as the idea of Safety re
lentlessly pursues the villain,
Danger. This Company, for in
stance, has IS safety engineers
forever devising means to re
duce hazards. As one result,
Hard Hat Harry, another char
acter, has become a common
place. Men in the oil fields are
now protected at both ends by
"iron" clothes. Hats devised to
withstand heavy blows guard
the heads of derrick workers
and steel-capped shoes save
many t foot when something
falls or a stand of casing slips.
In refineries such remote con
tingencies as asphyxiation and
explosion have been made as
near as possible to impossible.
Life at sea never a sissy busi
ness has been rendered far less
hazardous aboard our tankers.
These are only samples. Each
year our safety record has im
proved. Last year's was the best
ever. Yet this has only inspired
our safety experts to new am
bitions. Every day, every hour,
safety-planning pursues iu par
ticular villain-regardful, air,
of firry consequence.

1ST CEDE
TO NAZIS,
(Continued trura Page One )
Here Hitler raised his voice until
it cracked. '
M. , . , Sudeten problem my pst
lence Is exhausted."
The crowd responded with' hyster
ical, tumultuous applause.
He went on:
"I offered Benes the legalization
of what he agreed to do.
"Does he want war or peace?"
"The Sudeten Germans will now
take the liberty denied them twenty
years.
Germans Different Vow
"Germans are a different people
from what they were In 1918.
"We are cured of the democracy
of those days.
"In this hour, the whole German
people will unite behind me.
"We want to strengthen this com
mon will of ours as we did in the
time of our struggle for power when
I was a lone, unknown man and
set out to conquer the nation.
"I ask you to rally behind me,
man for man. frau for frau.
"If our will Is stronger than de
privation and danger, we will suc
ceed. "We are determined may Mr.
Benes know It."
For fully five minutes there was
an unending chorus of:
"Fuehrer! Command we follow t"
Hitler shouted so loudly most of
the time he was difficult to hear
over the radio.
Mussolini Praised
"There is one man who sees eye
to eye with Germany Benlta Mus
solini. x
"We shall never forget what he
has done for us.
"After my February 33 speech to
tne relchstag. persecution and sup
presslon of Germans In Czechoslo
vakia increased until May 21 came.
"During all this time we showed
almost eternal German patience."
Then Hitler reiterated the German
stand as he had given It May 21
In a speech closing a party conven
tion. "I hoped until the last moment."
he said, "that Benes would recede
from the unreasonableness of his
position.
"Benes. however, thought he could
ao anytning he pleased to Germanv.
ior ne was protected by Britain and
trance.
"And if everything else went wrrwur
there was still Russia.
Tells of Parley
"I told Chamberlain plainly what
I consider Is the only solution; that
I was not the man to look indif
ferently when 3.500.000 Germans
were maltreated: that there comes
a moment when the word Is
'enough
"France and England finally agreed
to the cession of German territory In
Czechoslovakia. Bewes agree: yes,
these regions must be ceded.
"But what did he do? He did not
cede the region but drove the Ger
mans out."
After citing the dally Increase of
refugees which, he said, today had
reached the figure of 314,000, Hitler
continue:
"Whole stretches of land are being
depopulated, yet Benes Is sitting in
Prague end thinks nothing can hap
pen to him, for behind him stand
England and France.
Time Has Come
'I ' believe the moment has now
come for talking business."
That was the high point thus far
for Hitler's speech.
It came at 9:14 p. m. (13:14 p. m
PST). He had been speaking 53 min
utes. "My memorandum," Hitler de
clared, "Is the, last and final one. It
is nothing but a realization of what
Benes promised. !
"All parts that want to Join the
relch must Join now. Immediately.
"I have decided that we shall place
this land under German sovereignty.
"The final outlining of the border,
however, I gladly give to the citizens
there.
"I will use the Saar status as a
basis for a plebiscite there.
"I am ready and have been ready
for a plebiscite to be conducted In
ell Czechoslovakia.
"But that .Is where Benes and his
men as balked.
"I was even ready to have a nlebls-
cite carried out by an international
control commission.
"I was alto reedy to have the Oer-
man Czechoslovak frontier later
agreed upon by a Joint German-
Czechoslovak commission.
"What Is the memorandum but ft
reaiiHitfon of Czecho-Slovak prom
ises?
"Yet Benes says It creates a new
situation and wants to shuffle out
or nis promises.

the President said:
"So long as these negotiations con
tinue, so long will there remain the
hope that reason and the spirit of
equity may prevail and that the
world may thereby escape the mad
ness of a new resort to war . . . once

"And force produces no solution for

Officials hoped the telegram would
reach Hitler while the draft of his
speech, to be delivered tonight, was
at 111 fluid and would have a definite
effect on what he would say.
The telegram was Interpreted as
both, an appeal and a warning. When
the President said the fabric of peace

world, Is In Immediate danger, he
meant, Informed officials said, the
European leaders might find nations
outside Europe drawn in against one

quences of war.
"No nation can escape some mea

world catastrophe." he said.
LONG PARTY OPEN

The evangelistic series had an ex

Long evangelistic party at the Med

These singers captivated the audi

crowded last night and half the

Rev. Fred M. .Weatherford, evange
listic speaker, stated he would de
liver a sermon which he Judged to
be the key note for the revival
series.
Last night the evangelist spoke
from the topic, '"The Scarecrow In
the Church," In part, he said:
"The fact that the great s'tvam
of humanity la outside the church
today raises the stimulating inquiry
as to who and where the odious
spectre la that keeps folks out.
"I think the first cause for losses
in the church Is due to the scare
crow in the church. In a broad
sense, It has been man-centered In
stead of God-centered. There has
been too much substitution of con
firmation for transformation and re
formation without regeneration', and
decision days without salvation days.
All of this means profession with
out salvation and the building of a
church upon this foundation la too
sandy to sustain Itself.
"It has presented no God-borne
message given from Hps cold by the
Infinite, no vision to kindle faith
in a sin-torn soul: no cross that
speaks forgiveness to the broken
hearted. The church, to be attrac
tive, must bear a free and Joyful
testimony of the glorious Redeemer's
saving grace.
"The mad rush of a worldly mov
ing civilization has forgotten that
the thing for which Jesus lived and
died Is the very axis upon which
human destiny turns.' -
