A Scout is
considerate
and recognizes
merit
THE Boy Scouts of a certain
community recently pinned
a medal on this Company. Well,
maybe it wasn't a medal. In
form, it was a paperweight,
designed to grace a desk in
stead of someone's chest. But
like a medal, it was presented
for something the Scouts con
sidered merit.
The memento expressed ap
preciation of this particular
Scout Council for the many
years of interest this Company
has shown in its activities by
support of its work. The Scouts
indicated that, so far as they
were concerned, we had won
title to a mark of distinguished
service.
Now, for many years in
their city and many another
we've tried to do those simple
things which add up to good
citizenship. Wherever we have
been part of any community
living and doing business there
this Company has done its
best to forward welfare and
character-building projects of
every type.
We're proud that these Scouts
should feel our efforts in theif
behalf entitle us to something
which we like to construe as a
badge of fellowship. The way
we feel about it is that so long
as we live up to their standards
of citizenship we'll be doing
all right.

IS. JOHN BEEK
DIES IN SEATTLE
Mrs. E. M. Wilson received
word this week of the passing
In Seattle of Mrs. John Beek
Mrs. Beek was, before her
marriage, Josephine Merriman
youngest daughter of the late
W. H. and Artinecia Merriman,
early pioneers of this valley.
She was born at the old Mer
riman home, a few miles north
of Medford, on June 4, 1871,
and grew to womanhood there.
On December 21, 1892, she
was united in marriage to John
Beek, at that time a well known
Jeanette Jackson, 18-year-old
Ashland girl, was critically In
jured early Sunday morning
when the car in which she was
passenger, driven by Walter
Love, Ashland barber formerly
of Medford. plunged off the
Pacific highway about three
miles south of Ashland.
Miss Jackson sustained se
vere head injuries and bruises
and cuts. Love was hurt about
the head but his condition, ac
cording to reports from Ash
land, was not critical. Both are
confined in Ashland Communi
ty hospital.
The car is believed to have
been traveling north when it
left the highway and bounced
for a distance of 25 feet before
coming to rest against a tree.
The occupants were thrown
clear of the machine, and were
lying 60 feet from the car when
the accident was discovered by
Bill Merimont, a truck driver.
The Litwiller ambulance of
Ashland was summoned to re
move the injured couple to the
hospital.

In Albany, Gov. Herbert H. I gvia'rd.
Lehman said he would oraer an
immediate investigation of any
connection between the Christ
ian front and the personnel of
the national guard.
Ma). Gen. William N. Has
kell, commander of the New
York national guard, said he
had ordered Capt. John T.
Prout, Jr., of the 165th infan
try, one of those arrested, be
relieved of his command pend
ing the result of the federal in
quiry. Rep. Emanuel Celler (D., N.
Y.) of Brooklyn, said he was
one of the congressmen marked
for assassination and declared
that as ranking member of the
house judiciary committee he
would recommend legislation to
increase the penalty for sedi
tion. Penally Inadequate
"The penalty now seems to
me to be inadequate In this
case in view of the plans these
men had," Celler said.
The Infinitesimal size of the
group, Hoover said, in no way
lessened the fanatical earnest
ness of its members. He added
that the men in numbers and
zeal resembled the early group
that laid the groundwork for
Hitler's rise to power.
Just how the men believed
they could carry out the al
leged plot In a city which has
a police force of 18,000 and
several nearby army posts was
not explained.
FBI agents were searching
in many localities for caches
of arms such as the "small ar
senal" they found in New York
City in the course of a continu
ing six-month investigation of
the alleged conspirators.
Among tentative aims. Hoov
er said, was assassination of 12
congressman identities not dis
closed as examples to all
those who voted for repeal of
the arms embargo.
"Day" Nearing
The day for striking against
the government, Hoover said,
was to be soon after a final
drill in bombing and firing

uary 20 next Saturday.
