MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1939. PAGE FIVE MOVEfOR PEACE Secy. Early Says Few Who Criticize Will Be Satisfied When Facts Are Known. Washinfiton, Dec. 26. (Pi Representatives o f Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish churches today acknowledged with grat itude President Roosevelt's pro posal governments and religions join in working for world peace and alleviation of suffering arising from the war. Archbishop A. G. Cicognani, the Apostolic delegate in Wash ington, wrote the president Pope Pius XII desired to as sure him that Myron C. Raylor would be "cordially received" as Mr. Roosevelt's personal rep resentative to the Vatican "in a manner befitting the highly im portant mission entrusted to him." Association Need Seen The president, in virtually Identical letters to the pope, to Dr. George A. Buttrick, presi dent of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ, as a protes tant leader, and to Rabbi Cyrus Adler, president of the Jewish Theological Seminary of Amer ica, as- a Jewish leader, said eventually the time would come to re-establish peace in the world, and he added those in religion and in government who have a common purpose should be encouraged in a closer asso ciation to bring about peace. Dr. Buttrick told the presi dent in a telegram his invita tion to visit the White House from time to time to discuss world problems was "gratefully accepted." Dr. Adler said in a message to the president it would be a privilege "to have the opportun ity to visit you at the White House," and added It was a "noble deed to bring the forces of religion together." Few Criticize Shortly before the three com munications were made public, Stephen Early, White House press secretary, expressed the belief that when the few who have questioned Mr. Roosevelt's appointment of a personal rep resentative to the Vatican "learn the facts they will be satisfied." . Favorable responses to the president's action in many quar ters of government and organ ized religion were tempered in ome instances by expressions of hope Mr. Roosevelt was not working toward re-establishment of formal diplomatic re lations with the Vatican. Such formal relations were severed In 1867. Among others, the Rev. Louie D. Newton, Atlanta Baptist clergyman, and Bishop Paul B. Kern of the Methodist church, at Nashville, Tenn., questioned the action, chiefly on that ground. Early, informally discussing such questions, satd Mr. Roose velt had the constitutional right to appoint Taylor and added he never had held and does not now hold any intention of ac cording diplomatic recognition ' to the Vatican. r 1 I fa v !$ , t ' ? ff , x. . . & itY "f V . i 5 E In impressive ceremonies at the fourth troop court of honor, held Thursday evening in Wash ington school gymnasium, those who have made outstanding records in Boy Scout troop 5 were accorded honors.

Fred M. Bruegger, manager of the Medford Poultry and Egg company, 10 . West Jackson boulevard, announced today that he and G. R. Kirkpatrick, owner of the Independent Live Poultry company of Oakland, Cal., had purchased the local concern from Oliver O. Morton, owner, and would take posses sion on January 1. Amount of money involved in the transac tion was not revealed. Mr. Bruegger, who has been managing the company for the past year, stated that he would actively manage the establish ment. Mr. Kirkpatrick and his family will move to Medford in a month or so, Mr. Bruegger explained. To Enlarge Capacity The new owners plan to move the company from its present location in the near future, either leasing larger quarters or building a new structure to take care of from 30,000 to 40, 000 turkeys next year, Mr. Bruegger stated. Capacity of the plant will be doubled, he said. Mr. Bruegger said that this year, during an 18-day period at Thanksgiving time, more than 10,000 turkeys passed through the company's semi scalding plant, and that 15 car loads of turks would be packed and shipped during the Christ mas and Thanksgiving holidays. Washington, Dec. 26. (IP) The American Veterans associa tion, which opposes pensioning dependents of veterans who were not injured in war serv ice, announced today that it would seek a "complete over hauling of veterans benefit leg islation at the coming session of congress. Robert B. Luchars, president, said in a statement that there should be "some sane and ra tional legislation enacted which will prevent special groups of veterans demanding and receiv ing special benefits for themselves." APPLEGATE COOL TOWARD SCHOOL County School Law Similar To County Unit Proposal More Generally Favored. 1 b 4 Big Applegate, Dec. 26. (Spl) Generally speaking, Ap plegate people interested in school affairs have . frowned upon the recommendations pre sented by the new school dis trict reorganization board at a meeting held at Ruch last week for the purpose of explaining the new plan. The reorganization board, created by an act of the last legislature, is seeking consoli dation of schools in Jackson county, thereby cutting the 66 districts of the county to 22, it was pointed out. Among con solidations advised at the meet ing were Beaver Creek and Watkins; Ruch, Uniontown and Little Applegate; Missouri Flat, Thompson creek, Provolt and Applegate. Change Imperative A change in the present school set-up is imperative, it was stated, in order that funds from the state may be avail able for the schools in view of the fact that present school funds obtained from real estate taxation are inadequate. How ever, the board explained that the state will not contribute to the schools unless the number of districts is greatly lessened. It was pointed out that the O. and C. funds for school dis tricts will be depleted in three more years. Even though local people dis approved of the reorganization plan, they did favor the county school law, which may be ac- flontol !ne(aa nt ilia 1-am-fr.1r.i7a. tinn rtlan. TTnrier the schnnl low. I similar to the once proposed county unit system, all school boards continue to exist, acting in an advisory capacity to a county district board of five members. Would Keep Board One objection to the reorgan ization plan was the probability of dissatisfaction over elimina tion of lesser school boards in the event of consolidation. Members of the reorganiza tion board attending the Ruch meeting were C. R. Bowman, county school superintendent; J. B. Coleman, county assessor; Earl B. Day, county judge; A. E. Brockway, Medford; Arnold Bohnert, Central Point; and J. R. McCracken, Valley View. Eight of the nine schools of the Applegate valley were rep resented by board members and patrons. Settlement of the school prob lem in the county will be brought about by a vote of the people at a special election in the future, it was said. Either the reorganization plan or the county school law will be ac cepted, or else the state legisla ture will intervene, it was ex plained. The reorganization board is conducting a series of meetings over the county in an effort to place the situation be fore the people.

BETTER ROAD UP APPLEGATE RIVER DUE NEXT YEAR 15-Mile Improvement From Little Applegate to Squaw Creek Starts In January. Big Applegate, Dec. 26. (Spl) For two years the Upper Applegate Grange and its road committee has plugged steadily toward a goal a better rond to the Big Applegate river. Pleas were placed before the forest service and the county court, repeatedly. And now, as soon as the new year arrives, the boom of a rock crusher here will announce that the work is beginning. Fifteen miles of construction and repair are scheduled to ex tend from Little Applegate to Squaw creek. The road already is oiled from Ruch to Little Ap plegate, and the present work program will lay the founda tion for an oiled road, in the future, from Little Applegate to the Star ranger station. At the present this three mile stretch will be rebuilt and graveled. From the ranger station to Squaw creek the road will re ceive a general widening and straightening, with a lowering of 10 feet above the Bar ranch to eliminate a steep grade. The county and the forest service are cooperating on the project, the former to furnish machinery and all equipment. The forest service will supply the hand labor through CCC re cruits. Bill Wattenburg of Med ford will have charge of the county work. A rock crusher will be located at a gravel point below the Fred Straube ranch. The present road committee in the Grange consists of Bert Hnrr, Floyd McKee, and Vnl Haskins. braces Grant, Harney and Mal heur counties. Duncan accepted the appoint ment immediately.
