RILEY ADDRESSES
Frank Branch Riley, Oregon's
famed "ambassador" who has
long spread the glories of this
state in eastern cities, delivered
an inspirational address before
the Medford Rotary club at the
luncheon-meeting of that orga
nization Tuesday noon. The
Rotarians and guests, assembled
at the Hotel Medford, heard the
distinguished lecturer describe
Oregon as the "art gallery of
the Almighty" and point to the
chamber of commerce of a live
city as "the powerhouse of a
community.
"Caesar is In the throne and
democracy is on the scaffold,"
Mr. Riley told the Rotarians.
"The government of the people,
for the people and by the peo
ple has perished from much of
the earth," he said. "Let us
resolve never to again become
foreign missionaries, for if we
are again involved in war, it
will mean certain dictatorship,"
he prged.
Riley pointed out that, in this
nation, the rulers are the serv
ants of the people and of their
own choosing. He stressed the
Importance of "keeping America
safe for democracy, by ridding
the nation of every semblance
of religious intolerance, main
taining labor peace, which is,
after all, a first requisite of na
tional defense, and public op
position of so-called 'pressure
groups' who would further their
own selfish interests through
discriminatory legislation."
The speaker cited examples
of this type of legislation which
crept into Oregon politics last
year.
Jn concluding his address, Mr.
Riley urged the elimination of
state trade barriers, which seri
ously affect the harmony be
tween the various states and
hamper free interchange of
trade.
Following the Rotary meeting,
the lecturer met a group of
Jackson County Chamber of
Commerce officials in an in
formal discussion of Oregon
promotional plans.

By Hubbard Keavy.
Hollvwood. Dec. 13. W) "Gone With the Wind" is now
ready for all those who always
never got around to it, as well
faithful readers who wondered
Its 1,037 pages finally have
been compressed into a motion
picture, and it is no ordinary
picture. The long-awaited film
was press-reviewed yesterday,
as a prelude to its world pre
miere next Friday in Atlanta,
Ga., its very locale and the
home of Author Margaret
Mitchell.
No film which caused so
much speculation about treat
ment and casting, before pro
duction, and which runs for
three hours and 57 minutes, in
its final form, belongs in the
everyday classification. For
these reasons alone, it is an
out-of-the-ordinary event.
The professional flaw-finders,
on the whole, were enthusiastic.

All previewers left the thea
ter seemingly agreed that Viv
ien Leigh, although English
trained and "unknown" in this
country, was the logical choice
for the role of Scarlctte O'Hara.
Sometimes she was restrained,
but mostly she was the dash
ing, fiery Scarlett. (The char
acter of Rhett Butler was tailor
ed for Clark Gable, nearly
everyone always said; the au
thor must have had in mind
somebody very much like him.
He is Rhett.)
Other performances, specific
ally those of Hattie McDaniel
(Mammy) and Leslie Howard
(Ashley Wilkes), are all that
can be expected. There are
about 100 speaking roles.

PEAR GIFT BOXES
A. L. Hammell, vice-president
of the Railway Express Agency,
arrived in Medford this morning
by train to transact business
nd call on fruit growers and
inspectors In the valley.
Mr. HammeH's visit here is
in conjunction with the Agen
cy's handling of Christmas pear
lft boxes which many of the
packing concerns are selling
this year.
The visitor said that the gift
box pear industry here Is the
largest operation of the kind
in the west, even surpassing the
citrus fruit in other states. It
was due to the large volume
of gift box production last year
that the express agency's busi
ness increased S3 per cent, Mr.
Hammell said. He went on to
state that further increases are
anticipated.
The agency has sent over a
dozen men to the valley this
year to handle the fruit box
shipping. Also arriving this
morning 1 with Mr, Hammell
were J. C. North, western traf
fic manager, and L. P. Berg
