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

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

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.
Mr. Post had previously an
nounced start of work for last

lay. Mr. Hoffman himself, head
of the firm given the postoffice
contract, is expected here Wednesday.

Governor Sets Nov. 23 for
Thanks to God for Mercies
Salem, Nov. 6. (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.

Russia and certain of the Balkan
states the number of persons of ,
working age is growing so rap.
