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.

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

the other three guests, finally
decides the Bliss family is de-

Clara, the maid, is ably por

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;

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

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.
