MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON'. THURSDAY. AUGUST 1. ! 5 Sixteen Jackson county boys, 13 from the Medford area and three from Ashland, will leave by train at 8:05 p. m. Friday for the annual American Legion-sponsored Beaver Boys' state at the Hill Military acad emy in Portland. The youths will occupy a special car. The camp will open Saturday and will continue - for 10 days. Purpose of the camp Is to teach American youths about govern ment by permitting them to conduct the camp themselves in governmental form. The educa tional value of the camp is con sidered of especial imprtance this year because of the whit tling away of democracies in other parts of the world. Ebel To Accompany R. R. Ebel, past commander of Medford post of the Ameri can Legion and Beaver Boys' state committee chairman, will accompany the group to Port land. He will return to Port land at the end of the camp to take the boys to the Amer ican Legion junior baseball finals in Hillsboro August 10 and 11 and to accompany them on the return trip. The boys' sponsors, Legion naires and others interested in the welfare of American youth are invited to the railroad sta tion tomorrow evening to see the boys off. The boys chosen for the 1940 camp are Frank Dixon, Alton Johnson, Ralph C. Burgess, Jr., Hal Adams, Jack Swaryck, Don Ivy. Robert Taylor, Camcden Wheaton, Austin J. Murray, Ro bert Burns, Richard McElhose, Lanar Coverstone and Vern Kel lenbeck, all of the Medford area, and Charles H. Delsman, Donald Wilcox and Lamar Or mond, of Ashland. Sponsors Lilttd The sponsors, who pay the boys' expenses, for the Med ford youths are the Elks lodge, Rotary club. Active club, Med ford American Legion post, United Spanish War Veterans. Odd Fellows lodge, J. C. Mann, Hance H. Cleland, A. S. Rosen baum, Elmer Childers, Henry Padgham, Jr., H. O. Hussong and a group of nine Central Point ex-service men: Floyd Ross, James Ross, Floyd Hart, John Holmer, Dr. F. J. Moffat, C. L. Pierce, W. L. Foley, H. P. Jewett and Elmer Wilson, all of whom are Legionnaires. The youths who apply for en rollment at the Beaver Boys' state must write air essay on democracy as one of the con ditions of acceptance. A typical essay composed by one of the Medford boys follows: "Our greatest inheritance is American citizenship. Because we are citizens of these United States of America, we have freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom of . the press. We are a free people, liv ing in a democracy where all men are equal. To preserve and guard this democracy of ours, we must be educated In the last detail to our system of gov ernment. Greatest Inheritance "While the privilege of Amer ican citizenship is our greatest inheritance, we can be of small value unless we are familiar with the complex form of run ning this country. "Undoubtedly, Boys' State, with all of its instructive prin ciples, offers us unlimited op portunities to learn the develop ment of our government and the procedure by which our government operates. "I am certain that the in fluencc and guidance of Boys' State will prove to be a large factor in aiding me to become a worthwhile and an intelligent American citizen." Among the scheduled talks at the camp is one by Gov. Charles A. Sprague. The boys will also hear supreme court justices circuit court Judges, college presidents and civic leaders. Character-building influence and guidance will be offered by Bishop Benjamin u. uagwen. Father Joseph Patrick Clancy and others. Bishop Bruce R. Baxter will direct the educa tional program.
