Sunday Concert
Here Lauded
By Audience
The home of Mrs. E. M. Wil
son was the scene of the recent
anniversary meeting of Crater
Lake, chapter. Daughters of the
American revolution. 1
Miss Sara Van Meter, second
regent, opened the program and
stated that much credit is due
Mrs. Bert Anderson for her un
tiring work in the organization
and guidance during the chap
ter's early years. In appreciation
the chapter has purchased and
appropriately marked a chair
in beautiful Constitution hall in
Washington, D. -C.
Mrs. M. J. Norrls, Mrs. J. A. Perry
and Mrs. B. O. Harding each covered
section of the activity throughout
the year of the organization. Among
the accomplishments mentioned were
the many land markers erected by
the chapter; education and scholar
ship figures; the Americanism school
and numerous other endeavors.
It was pointed out that each year
the chapter has grown la service to
the community. From the leadership
of Mrs. Anderson It has been guided
by 17 regents. Last year, under the
able direction of Mrs. Burt B. Lowry,
all 30 national committees reported
active work.
Recognition by the state and na
tional organization has come to local
D. A. R. members through their elec
tion to offices. Mrs. B. G. Harding
as state regent, Mrs. J. H. Cochran
as state first vice-regent, Miss Sara
Van Meter and Mrs. M. J. Norrls as
state second vice regents and Mrs.
M. M. Morris as state correspond
Ing secretary.
A substantial contribution was
given aa a birthday offering to
supplement the chapter dues, all of
which will be used In patrlotlo
service.
Guests present during the after
noon who were Introduced were Mrs.
James R. Rlgg, past regent of Letltla
Green Stevenson chapter of Bloom-
lngton. 111.: Mrs. O. A. Peyton, Mult,
nomah chapter, Portland; Mrs. F. B.
SUllman, charter member of Crater
Lake chapter who now resides in
Atwater, Cal.; Mrs. L. J. Searlea,
Jollet, 111., and Mrs. T. J. Glfford
of this city.
Table decorations were attractive
with gold and blue colors of the
society with a birthday cake dotted
with 20 candles Indicating the annl
versary of the chapter. Mrs. B. a
Harding and Mrs. Sherman L. Divine,
regent, presided at the table.
Mrs. Wilson was assisted by Mrs
W. W. P. Holt, Mrs. Spencer and Mrs,
Volney Dixon. ,
Ruth Lorraine Close noted
harpist, was the first artist to
aDDear here in a series of con
certs being given this winter
under the auspices ot the iea
ford Musical Society.
The talented musician played
in this city Sunday afternoon to
an appreciative audience. Her
nroeram embraced a variety of
thought, a satisfaction to those
who might be curious concern
ing the intricacies of the harp
and education from the stand
point of music history as well
as a quality ot expression snow
ing the artist's thorough musicianship.
The explanatory remarks
made by the harpist before each
group resulted in the audience
being all the more responsive.
To many, Zabels Marguerite
au Rouet was a high point of
the program, a composition per
fectly suited for the harp. How
ever each number gave added
interest and one could certainly
not overlook the French com
poser Tournier's conception of
Jazz Band Pour La Harpe, a
revelation in rhythm and tech
nical skill.
Mrs. Close, who is internation
ally known as a harpist will be
heard this winter in many coast
al towns. If her appearance in
this city is indicative of the type
of entertainment which the Med
ford Musical Society will spon
sor in the future the series will
inevitably be highly successful.
THANKSG1
WE hardly know how, in
times like these, to extend
Thanksgiving greetings to you.'
We don't want to be too sol
emn. We don't want to be too
gay. Yet this is a year when we
all can be especially thankful
for the very institution of
Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving Day was born
amid the bitterest days the Pil
grims ever knew. They had
been through cold and famine.
But a harvest came along in
time and they were able to stick
it out. For that we can still be
thankful.
Valley Forge was within the
decade when George Washing
ton made Thanksgiving Day
a national holiday. That this
country passed the point of
lowest ebb is something for
which we cantill be thankful.
And Lincoln revived Thanks
giving Day at a season when
it was indeed possible that this
nation might perish from the
earth.
. Thus-has -Thanksgiving Day-
become our greatest synonym
for hope. And while we Ml
don't want to get too solemn
hope is something all of us can
use just now. So, if you'll join
us, we'll say "Thank you" to
Governor Bradford, to George
Washington, and to Abraham
Lincoln -who never lost hope.

British civil aircraft inadvert
ently, flew into London's own
balloon barrage yesterday, the

and was brought to the ground.
Both occupants of the plane

The plane was the first an

Advance sale of tickets indi
cated that the annual firemen's
ball this year would be the best
attended in years, Chief Roy
Elliott said today. "We are
making it the best dance, too,
so that everyone will have a
wonderful time," he added.
The ball will be held at Ori
ental Gardens tomorrow night.
Dancing will start at 9:30 and
continue until 2. A major at
traction this year is Archie
Legg's 11-piece orchestra from
Yreka, Cal., the band that has
a large following in both south
ern Oregon and northern Call-
tornia.
In a letter to Chief Elliott to
day Mr. Legg said that in ap
preciation of the many engage
ments his band receives in
Medford he has prepared a
special dance and entertain
ment program for the Thanks
giving ball. He added that a
large delegation of dance de
votees of Yreka and vicinity
would attend. Entertainment
will be provided by the soloists
of Mr. Legg's orchestra.
Purpose of the annual Thanks
giving ball is to provide funds
for the purchase of material
and supplies that the firemen
use in repairing and repainting
old, discarded toys for Christ-1
mas gifts to poor children. The
firemen contribute their time
and talent to the project, the
Lady Lions assisting by helping
to collect the old playthings
and by distributing them at
Christmas.
The fireman are badly in
need of old toys now to wbrk
on, Chief Elliott said. Not
many have been received and
unless the playthings start com
ing in now there will not be
time tnough to work on them,
he emphasized in making an
other plea for families to de
liver battered, old toys to fire
headquarters as soon as possi
ble. , . .
W. R. Godlove described the
extensive training given navy
flyers as a feature of Tuesday's
luncheon-meeting of the Med
ford Rotary Club, at Hotel Med
ford. Godlove, a member of
the naval reserve and a grad
uate of the naval aviation train
ing station at Pensacola, Fla.,
gave a first hand picture of the
comprehensive instruction giv
en Uncle Sam's "flying sailors"
one of the most rigid avia
tion courses given in any
branch of the service by any
nation.
Godlove told of the recently
initiated amateur cadet flying
courses, available to physically
fit college graduates. Those
who survive the exacting pre
liminary training will receive
instruction at Pensacola, he
said.
Training given naval flyers
at the Florida station was then
described by Mr. Godlove. This
course in which cadets are di
vided into five squadrons as
they progress in the instruction,
includes mastering of both land
and sea planes of various types,
blind flying, catapult flying,
navigation and all tactical ma
neuvers. Average cost of Instructing
one finished pilot is $40,000,
the speaker pointed out.
Following the Pensacoln
course, flyers are assigned to
active duty with the fleet or at
some naval base. . "Here the
mission becomes the primary
consideration and the actual
handling of planes a secondary
matter," Godlove said.
At the completion of this ac
tive duty period, flyers have
the choice of re-enlisting or of
assuming Inactive duty status
with the reserve.
At luncheon! And other social vents,
many women often unconsciously try to
