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.
