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.

CONCERN SOLD BY
OLIVER JLJORION
Fred M. Bruegger and G. R.
Kirkpatrick Purchasers;
Capacity Will Be Doubled.
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.

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.
