Lodge Meeting A group of Medford Degree of Honor club members returned late Monday evening and yes terday from Klamath rails , married last Wednesday at a Gilbert Fleet Wed In Klamath Falls Gilbert Fleet, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred E. Fleet, prominent Klamath Falls residents, was PERHAPS we shouldn't point to one man among all our 18,000 employees. But, after all, he is certainly a "typical exam ple." He went to work more than thirty years ago, yet he didn't get to be president of the Company! Actually he didn't get very far along the route of advance ment. He did achieve some pro motion, but when his years of service came to an end he still was not a top executive. The other day he retired to a modest home in the coun try. But he will not settle down to his flowers and garden be fore he has spent several months in a tour of the nation which he has been wanting to see for years. It has been his good fortune to work for an organization which appreciates loyalty in the ordinary man as well as in the man of genius. Its retirement system was arranged to benefit all employees, not just the top men who need it least. . ,. Naturally, this chap didn't think much about retirement until he was approaching it. Then he discovered the man agement of this Company had held the good of the majority at heart something which we can say in honesty, it always has tried to do.

OF AIEDFORDI Jfete f; 601 N. GRAPE STREET PHONE 778 (Contributed) This month is set aside for the membership drive for the Parent Teacher Association. More than ever does the associ ation need you and more than ever do you need it. With war on all sides of us, strife among the unions, depressions and hard times, more than ever do we need right thinking and clear- minded men and women to lead us. Our boys and girls are the leaders of tomorrow. This is what Parent Teacher work tries to do. It promotes welfare work at home, in the school and the community, raises the standards of living and educates the parents in all branches of child education. Too often It is heard "I be longed to P.-T. A. while my children were in the grade schools, but now, they are in Junior Hi and able to take care of themselves." True, they need to learn responsibility and to make decisions for themselves. But to be able to make those right decisions, they must be guided into the right way and that is why you must not quit in junior high but take more interest than ever before. The Parent-Teacher Association tries to bring this closer companion ship and cooperation between the child and their parents and teachers. It isn't enough to say "I have paid my dues and am a mem ber." But go to the meetings, take an active part in them and be one to help make this the biggest membership year for the Parent-Teacher association. The drive is on for the entire month of October.
