OREGON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1941. 4 GUESTS AT MEET OF ACTIVE CLUB Dangerous but welcome guests at last night's weekly dinner ymeeting of the Active club in Hotel Medford were four very-much-alive rattle snakes, three of the Pacific coast variety and one huge Texas diamond back five and one-half feet long. The reptiles were brought to the meeting by Norman Gail and Bob Lilly, Ashland boys who raise rattlesnakes as a hobby and for the commercial purpose of extracting their venom to sell for anti-toxin. The venom brings $40 an ounce, the boys told the Activians, but added that It takes quite a few rattlers to yield an ounce of the poison. Placing the snakes on a spe cial table, Norman demon strated how they were "milked" for their venom, and explained that he and Bob raised lizzards and guinea pigs for the snakes to feed on. He said they had seven rattlers at present. The four brought to the meeting were carried in cloth sacks. Also entertaining the Activ ians was Jim Mathews, who has been In Guatemala for the past two years as chief engineer for a private dredging concern. Mathews, who is here on a short visit with relatives and friends, talked on the social and economic life of Guatemala and showed snapshots he took while there. He plans to return soon. WARD CO.

Albert Jones of 412 Union avenue was driving home with his family when he was caught in the hail storm yesterday afternoon between Ruch and Jacksonville. The hail perforat ed the composition top of his sedan. He pulled off Into a side road to let the storm pass, fear ing the hail would smash his windshield. He said it was like machine-gun fire. Hail riddled the composition roof of the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Langley, Oregon street, Jacksonville. ' Four or five orchards In the Jacksonville area were hit by last evening's wind, hail and electric storm and there was a little wind damage in a few Cen tral Point orchards but there was no commercial loss in the county as a whole, C. B. Cordy, county horticulturist reported today. The hail storm, apparently limited to a small area in and around Jacksonville, was de scribed as the most severe en countered here in many years. Mrs. Lee Port, wife of the forest ranger at the Star ranger station quoted Jacksonville friends as describing the hailstones as "big as banty eggs" and as hard as machine gun bullets. The lightning started seven or eight forest fires, all small. Two and possibly three occurred in the Union Creek district of the Rogue River national forest. There was severe lightning in the Little Applegate river sec tion of the Applegate district but an accompanying rain prob ably extinguished any strikes, headquarters said. Three of the fires were in the Applegate area but on land pro tected by the state forest patrol. One was southeast of Mount Isabel, one on Forest creek and one three miles south of Jack sonville. The other two fires were also on state-protected land, one -three miles southeast of the old Rogue Elk fish hatch ery and the other 12 miles north west of Butte Falls. Crews of four men were sent to each 'of the fires by the state forest pa trol office here. Burglar Sentenced Roseburg, Ore., Aug. 20.

PHONE 3111 OF GATES' TOPIC IN The far-reaching causes of the present turmoil throughout most of the world were discuss ed at Tuesday's meeting of Med ford Rotary club by W. A. Gates. At the luncheon, held at the Hotel Medford, Mr. Gates pointed out how important In ventions used for war and de struction as well as social and economic progress, had affected the lives of people through the ages. The year 18S9 was a definite turning point, in the opinion of the speaker. At that time Dar win's "Origin of Species" up set the story of creation and began an undermining of relig ion. Karl Marx, German social ist and Journalist in England, then sowed the seeds of class hatred through his radical writ ings and the famous German composer, Wagner, created a psychology of racial superiority in Germany through his dra matic compositions reviving the legends of pagan gods. The discontent caused by these three men has carried on down through the years and is a potent factor In the present. fast-spreading wars, Mr. Gates said. Inventions of science and new trends of thought eventual ly lead to disaster, freedom of speech has made possible the spreading of Darwin, Marx and Wagner doctrines, Mr. Gates re minded his audience, and it was freedom of speech in post-war Germany that allowed the pub lication of Hitler's Mein Kampf. Mr. Gates closed with the question: "Can any society re main stabilized and peaceful with free expression of such radical doctrines and thoughts?" While personally a strong ad vocate for freedom of speech. Gates offered this thought as a stimulant to constructive think ing. The meeting was conducted by Vice President Leonard May field with A. W. Glutsch as pro gram chairman. The club also took unanimous action in a pro gram to stimulate the sale of Defense Savings stamps and bonds. LIVESTOCK Portland Portland, Ore., Aug. 30.
