PAGE EIGHT MEDFOT.D MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1939. Y T Ossy Renardy Likes United States, But Finds No City With Charm of His Nievva Possessed of an ingratiating personality, a refreshing simplic ity and a disarming frankness, Ossy Renardy arrived here by train from Seattle this morning for his violin recital in the Holly theater tomorrow night. The 18-year-old Viennese vir tuoso is small of stature and could pass as a boy of 14 but when he speaks In his quiet, un assuming way, the antiquity of Europe seems to be his back ground. His earnestness appears to give his remarks, however casual, the weight of authority Likes U. S. Sincerity marks everything he says. Does he like the United States? Yes, he likes the United States very much and hopes to remain here and bring his par ents to this country. But in the next breath he will say candidly in answer to a question that he has found no American city that can compare with his native Vienna. "There is a peculiar charm about Vienna that I have not yet found in an American city," the violinist was frank enough to acknowledge. Does he agree with the foreign conception of Americans as mere money grabbers? Definitely not. The standard of living in the United Slates is higher and the criticism abroad results from jealousy, he says. Europeans, too, he adds, like to make money Just as eagerly as Americans. Does he find Americans cul tured? Renardy expressed sur prise at finding so many music lovers even in small American cities. First Coast Visit This is his first visit to the coast though it is his third con cert season in the United States. And he likes the coast better than any other part of the coun try. He liked the big eastern cities best until he came out to the coast, he said. Washington, lie added, made him think of the country around Vienna. Oregon he has found beautiful and he expressed a desire to see as much of the Rogue valley as possible during his stay here. He plans to remain here until Wed nesday evening. He is stay at'l the Hotel Medford. Renady is itching to get on to California which he has not yet seen. The reason? All one hears of the west coast of the United States in Europe is California, he declared. It's California this, California that. San Francisco. Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Barbara. But never docs one hear in Europe- of Oregon and Washington and that, said the violinist now that he has seen these two states, is a pity. Deters Air Ride Asked if he would like to see the Rogue valley from the air as well as from a motorcar, Ossy Renardy hesitated a moment and then replied: "Yes, but if you don't mind let's wait until after the conceit for the airplane trip," he said. Really, anyone who sees Ossy Renardy is going to like him be fore he ever plays a note on his violin. Eager to give one of his best recitals, the young violinist was quick in arranging for use of the theater for a rehearsal tomorrow morning. "1 want to play my best for Medford." he said earn estly. His accompanist, Lev Shorr is to arrive by train from San Francisco tomorrow morning Renardy will give the following program: I.

The Soviet Union wants peace, he said. Most of the diplomatic corps was present, including the United Stales and British am bassadors, Laurence A. Stein hardt and Sir William Seeds. Also present were most mem bers of the Finnish delegation which is here for vital negotia tions over Soviet territorial de mands. -The German ambassador, Count Frederich Werner Von Der Schulenbiirg. will not re turn from Berlin conferences until tomorrow.

"We do not know what can happen, but we always have to develop the defense of our conn try." he said. "We are not afraid of anything. Wc know that our country is the best, our policy is the policy of peace, and wc will go the same way in the future, which will bring us to final victory." The premier declared tlw "principal 'achievement' " of capitalism was to involve half of the population of the world In war, counting the British and French control empires and the Japanese-Chinese war. Turkey s mutual assistance pact with Britain and France created "serious problems." he said, adding 'the struggle to drag some of the Balkan conn tries and certain Scandinavian countries, as well as other states, into the orbit of war is developing." He accused (he British and French ruling classes of doing "their utmost to protract and extend" the war "with the pur pose of utilizing it to consolidate their world supremacy." The Communist International today attacked the "American bourgeois" for repeal of the arms embargo and railed on workers of Great Britain and France to "go against those who favor continuation of imperial istic war." It issued a sharply-worded manifesto, occupying four front page columns in Pravda Com munist party newspaper, as the U.S. S R. began a three-day cole bration of the 22nd anniversary of the Communist revolution. is provided that at Christmas, each year, from the two funds.

Mrs. Halley, throughout her life, was a devout church mem ber, and a life member of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. She was widely known, particularly among the older residents here. By Robert Fahs U.P. Staff Correspondent. Friant, Cal., Nov. 6. (U.K Secretary of Interior Harold Ickes Sunday signalized the start of construction on Friant dam, $18,000,000 hub of the vast cen tral valley water project, which eventually will provide a sup plemental water supply for.l. 200,000 acres of farm lands in the San Joaquin valley. A ceremonial blast of dyna mite officially opened the bi? construction job of damming the San Joaquin river 22 miles northeast of Fresno and linking it with other irrigation and pow er arteries which will extend nearly 500 miles through the heart of California's agricultural area. Maginot Line. Praising the entire central valley water project as a "unique American Maginot line to preserve and enhance Amer ican civilization," Ickes termed the Friant dam a major devel opment in the administration's program to conserve the nation's national resources. "Conservation," said Ickes, "is no longer a slogan; it is a na tional policy. At long last, after years of exuberant squandering, our people are insisting that our public lands, our forests, our water, our soil, our metals ana minerals, our wild life and our natural recreational assets be used without waste. "We want to enjoy our na tional riches, but we also want to preserve them for the use- of generations to come. We must not let our purposes be divert ed by wars in Europe and Asia, j or halted by any mobilization for j unjust profits at home." Stabilizing Project. More than 50.000 people at tended the ground-breaking cere monies. Ickes was introduced by Gov. Culbert Olson. John C. Page, commissioner of the U. S. bureau of reclamation which is cooperating with the state in building the $170,000, 000 central valley water project, praised the project as a .stabil izer of California's farming em pire. Friant dam will be a "sister" to the great Shasta dam now under construction on the Sac ramento river. It will take more than three years to build i and provide employment for about 2,500 men. The dam will be of the gravity type, 3,430 feet long, 300 feet high, 290 feet thick at the base, 20 feet thick at the crest. It will contain 1,850,000 cubic feet of concrete and 3,300,000 pounds of rein forcing steel. The reservoir will provide maximum storage space for 520,500 feet of water. 316,500 acre feet of which will be avail able for storage regulation of waters for delivery to the Ma dera and Friant-Kcrn canals both nearly 200 miles long. Water from Friant dam will supply semi-arid areas in Fresno, Kern. Madera, Tulare and Kinjs counties. Water has been so scarce in these areas that 40,000 acres of once productive farm lands have been abandoned. The dam also will be used for flood control and power generation pi Being C. H. Post, superintendent of construction for the L. H. Hoff man company of Portland, is to return to Medford from an up state job Tuesday night and his return is expected to herald the beginning of work on the exten sion and remodeling of the post office building.

(IP) November 23, conforming with Presi dent Roosevelt's proclamation setting the date a week earlier than usual, was proclaimed today by Gov. Charles A. Sprague as Thanksgiving Day. - The governor, asserting civil ized society "is threatened with collapse." said "it is appropriate to seek divine guidance for the proper ordering of our affairs." His proclamation follows: The law of Oregon fixes as a public holiday such a day as may be appointed by the president or the governor as a day of public fasting and thanksgiving. The president of the United States the Honorable Franklin D. Roos evelt, having by proclamation designated Thursday, the 23rd of November, 1939, as a day of general thanksgiving, now there fore, I, Charles A. Sprague, gov ernor of the state of Oregon do proclaim said Thursday, the 23rd day of November, 1939 as Thanksgiving Day in Oregon, to be observed as a public holiday. I instruct our people, in their several houses of worship and in their homes, to offer thanks to Almighty God for the mercies we as a people have enjoyed in the twelve months past. Peace lines our borders and tranquility abides within our gates. The earth has yielded its fruits in abundance, and the harvests of the sea have been generous. We have been spared the scourge of pestilence and the affliction of great natural disaster. The strains of economic maladjust ment Viave relaxed, and oppor tunities for occupation have im proved. For these and other blessings we should be both grateful and humble. I admonish our people, how ever, to avoid in their prayers of thanksgiving the vice of Pharisaism. It is easy to indulge in self-pride when we compare ours with other lands, and ob serve the plight of peoples em broiled in war. But we should be chastened in spirit as we re flect that we are of their flesh and subject to the same short comings; and as we realized that in spite of progress in science, men have not yet learned the art of living peaceably together in great societies. At a time when the very struc ture of civilized society reared laboriously through the centur ies is threatened with collapse, it is appropriate to seek divine guidance for the proper ordering of our affairs, and a renewal of that religious faith which offers hope of the ultimate establish ment of good will among men. The times,, therefore, enjoin a more reverent observance of Thanksgiving Day than has been the recent custom. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the state of Oregon to be affixed. Done in the city of Salem this sixth day of November, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hun dred and thirty-nine. Charies A. Sprague, Gov. Attest: Earl Snell Secretary of Slate. In countries like Italy, Japan, Russia and certain of the Balkan states the number of persons of , working age is growing so rap. idly as to constitute a serious problem from the point of view of employment, says a study of "Population and Peace" issued by the Columbia University Press. --- - ' ' ' s ' , -' ' ' - v y&zr F THAN V ": y to 2s 9 , 'TiV Ti l ' P Come, see for yourself why this roomy, handsome Studebaker Cham pion is the stand-out success car of the past 10 years.
