Scripter, Mrs. Mable Kitson and Mrs. Katherine Sat terlee.

Every so often people have children IT'S REALLY quite normal for people to have children and afterward to talk about them. So we hope you won't mind if we talk about ours. Maybe, being a corporation, we're just an uncle. But this Company is made up of things and people. Our people, of course, have' children. A very talented lot you'll find them. Some are marvelous at the piano or with the violin. You'll find them on the stage and in the movies. You'll dis cover them entering the pro fessions. You'll find an extra ordinary percentage are in college, have been to college, or are college-bound. This, we believe, Is cfue.to the fact that our people are everywhere able to become sub stantial members of their com munities. Fair pay, job-security, promotion for merit, retirement annuities all these and other advantages make it possible to plan family life to the best in terests of the youngsters. Actually, this is one of the grcatetc indirect benefits en joyed by employees of this Com pany. Parents know no larger satisfaction than warranted pride in their children. Life pays no greater dividend than the ability to help them develop their talents.

HELD FOR THEFT Caught last night while al legedly attempting to steal an automobile here, Vernie Lee Barrington, 16, of Williams was to be returned to Grants Pass today to face a charge of bi cycle theft, city police stated. The youth, according to po lice, climbed into a Graham se dan parked on East Main street and was preparing to drive away when the owner, Howard Lind of 320 Apple street, ap proached the automobile. Lind told police he took the boy out of the car, went to a nearby store and called the authorities. Police said that Barrington confessed to stealing a Haw thorne bicycle at Grants Pass high school yesterday morning, riding it to Medford and leaving it in a bicycle rack near the Fluhrer building. The bicycle was recovered and will be re turned to its owner. P. T. A. Activities Lincoln school P.-T.A. meet ing scheduled for tomorrow has been postponed until Friday December 8. (Contributed) The Parent-Teacher Associa tion is a valuable meeting ground where parents may meet people who influence their sons or daughters. Here there should be no social caste; only desire to be friendly because the children are friends. Par ents should recognize that their child is only one of the incom prehensibles that they are not alone in their perplexities. Parents should learn to talk to their children about current events, new athletic rules, should go to a game with daughter, brush up on history, look up some names of books, recall some quotations from "Hamlet", practice on the old flute because son is in the school orchestra. These contacts may result in less contempt for new ways of young people on the part of the parents, and respect for the ways of adults on the children's part. Howard Eldon Greer, 20, of Seattle, waived extradition this afternoon and was being held by city police for return to the Washington city where he is wanted for grand larceny in volving the alleged theft of an automobile. City police took Greer into custody here last night when he was discovered asleep in a 1940 Plymouth coupe parked on South Riverside avenue. The machine, police said, was regis tered to the Hertz Drive-Yourself service of Seattle, and upon questioning Greer said he rented the car on November 18. Greer told police that he was on his way to California to visit his sister. He represented him self as a brush salesman, and said he planned to sell the brushes he had in the car to ob tain gasoline money. He had less than $3 in his possession. Although Greer displayed a receipt showing he had paid $32 to the automobile-renting con cern, police notified Seattle au thorities and the information came back that a warrant charg ing grand larceny was being held for his arrest. A Seattle police officer is ex pected to arrive tomorrow or Saturday to return Greer to Washington. (Mary E.Letcher) a shy and love ly auburn haired miss, who like the other three guests, finally decides the Bliss family is de- dly screwy. Clara, the maid, is ably por trayed by Faith Elm. She is long suffering and easily imposed upon by the slightest of commands. Robert Stedman, Junior high school drama coach, proved him self a competent director by turning out the highly success ful product last evening. Lavon Davis acted as book holder and Russ Roseborough was tech nician. Prior to the play opening and between scenes, the junior high school orchestra, under the db rectlon of Miss Helen Leach, en tertained. The fast moving and smooth comedy will be presented again this evening in the high school auditorium at 8:20 o'clock. Tick ets may be purchased at the; door. MAUD DAY RITES TO BE HELD HERE Maud E. Day, 60, a former resident of Medford, passed away at her home in Portland Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. after a short illness.

Mrs. George Eads of Talent and Willard Wilson of Central Point, Mrs. Jessie Garnett of San An tonio. Texas, and Mrs. Fred Day of Whittier, Calif. The body will be shipped to Medford for bur ial Friday morning. Friends of Mrs. Day are in vited to gather at the Conger funeral parlors at 10 o clock Fri day morning. Graveside services will be held in the I. O. O. F. Cemetery. She will be laid to rest beside her husband who passed away in 1917. KUHN GUILTY ON ALL FIVE COUNTS IS Valeria Whitney's superb act ing in "Hay Fever," which op ened last evening in the senior high school auditorium, would doubtlessly do credit to any metropolitan presentation of the three act comedy by Noel Cow ard. In fact Mr. Coward might have had Miss Whitney in mind when he penned the hilarious play, so finished was her work in the role of Judith Bliss, mid dle aged mother of two grown children who never for a mo ment forgot that she had once been an actress. Supporting Miss Whitney was a cast of eight, all turning in excellent portrayals. Don Dar neille, again cast in a pater nal role, played David Bliss with his usual able manner. Sorcl and Simon Bliss, daughter and son of Judiih and David, wore portrayed by Jean Schuler and James Boyle, both scoring hits as they fairly bounced through their parts with enthusiasm. Action of the production cli maxes when the four members of the Bliss family each invite a friend to their country home at Cookham for the week end. It is here that romance steps in and one side splitting situation develops after another. Week end visitors of the Bliss family include Sandy Tyrell (Don McKcnzie) a rather lack wit Englishman who strolls through the part with ease; Myra Arundel (Vivian Early) a deep throated siren; Richard Greath- am (Del Burke) a diplomat at all times and Jackie Coryton If t M.

E JOi 171 ; i r X defense on the "leadership prin cipal" that he had the right to spend the Bund funds as he saw fit. Long Instruction The judge, in his two-hour and two-minute charge to the Jury emphasized (1) that "you can't convict this man for his social, political, or economic views, nor can you convict him to get rid of him, for that would be a threat to civil liberties and (2) that "this man is not on trial because he is an undesir able and unpopular citizen, 01 because he may foster ideals ob noxious to most of our citizens." Specifically, Kuhn was found guilty of spending $717 in Bund funds wrongfully to remove the furniture of Mrs. Florence Camp, his erstwhile "Golden Angel" from Los Angeles to Cleveland to New York, and of taking $500 which he claimed he paid to James D. C. Murray an attorney, for legal services to the bund. He also was found guilty of falsifying the bund's records to indicate payment of the money to, Murray, who de nied he received it.
