Widner Horn From Vacation Mr. and Mrs. Frank Widner of 819 East Ninth street, re turned yesterday from a few days' visit in Tacoma with their son, John Widner and family. On their return south they stopped at Albany with Mrs. L. E. Bland. Who helped the Good Samaritan? TiERHAPS you've forgotten JTone thing about the Good Samaritan. He was in a hurry. He had a living to nuke. He bad to get on to Jericho. So he carried the stranger he had be friended to an inn... planked down two shillings . . . and said to the host "Take care of him.' Not even the Samaritan could do all his cood works in per son. He had to transform that innkeeper into an early day Community Chest. He had to give from both the heart and the pocket. The Book says "Go, and do thou likewise." Like the Samaritan's inn keeper, Community Chests tend for you those left battered beside life's highway. For you, they shelter the hurt and help less strangers by the thousands. They build character amongst the young. They make better American citizens. They do this for you because you cannot possibly do it for yourself. Chests work with money. They transmute dollars into golden deeds. But their money, like yours, doesn't go as far as it did. Vet today's berserk world makes their deeds more neces sary than ever. There is just one answer. VUien your Chest drive opens, toddle 'round with your two shillings. Give all you can af ford, write your own ticket but urile one. Be a Good Sa maritan.

PER PERSON CITY SCHOOL HEAD TELLS OF CLASSES IN DEFENSE IRK Zonta Talk Gives Insight on Heavy Vocational Train ing Under Way Here. Monday was defense day with members of Zonta International, who met for luncheon at the Hotel Medford. E. H. Hcdrick, superintendent of schools, spoke cn Medioid's vocational classes for national defense, defense songs were led by Effie Kurtz and a defense pie, concocted by the president. Miss Louise Bas ford, formed the centerpiece of the table. There are now two defense classes being conducted In Med ford, Mr. Hedrick stated, one in aviation sheet metal work and the other in electric, welding with a marine slant. There are 212 classes in Oregon, embrac ing everything in the defense Industry. Sixty-five youths, who have completed courses in Med ford. have been employed in tne Boeing and Lockheed plants. The Medford classes are both conducted at night now to en able those participating to hold jobs during the day because of the critical labor situation, Mr. Hedrick stated. The schools have applications from more youths than they can place in the class in marine welding at this time. Training Time Cut A definite indication of the constantly increasing demand for skilled labor in the defense industries is evidenced in the operation of the classes, Mr. Hedrick, who is the local co ordinator, explained. At first 12 weeks time was devoted to the course. Industries are now calling for the boys who have nad just five weeks' training and are considering placing those with three weeks training The Medford schools are now considering opening classes in civilian defense he stated, and one of the first moves will prob ably be to make first aid courses compulsory. Learn On Thing The vocational courses train youths to do just one thing in particular in the line of sheet metal work and welding. This specialization is done for two reasons, Mr. Hedrick explained. it is the trend in mass produc tion to speed up activity and it will, after the emergency, pre vent an over supply of skilled labor. He then explained that a man ran be trained to do one particular angle of a job in a very short time, whereas he would not be able to master the whole trade in that period When these especially trained youths are released they will not be masters of the trade and will not take the places of those who have given years to the work. The question of Just ' talL I.. RETAIL CREDIT ASSOCIATION of MEDFORD where they will be placed Is not answered.
