Added emphasli must be placed upon the training of youth If America's destiny is to be achieved. This was the key note of an inspiring address de livered before the Medford Ro tary club at the Hotel Medford Tuesday noon by Walter R. Whidden. deputy regional Boy Scout executive of Portland. Whidden was introduced by Kenneth Wells, Scout executive here. The recent book "Education for Death", dealing with youth training in Nazi Germany, was quoted by the speaker. Here in America we should have "educa tion for living", Whidden said. He pointed out that this educa tion should be along the lines of character, building with stress upon American principles of freedom and fair play. In this shrinking world there Is not room for the training of young folks the Nazi way and the American way, Whidden warn ed. Only one can survive and it Is up to the American people to awake to the need of perpetuat ing the American way. Governor Guest Governor Charles A. Sprague was a guest at the Tuesday Ro tary meeting and gave a brief address in the spirit of the Thanksgiving season. There is general prosperity In this -state, the governor said. Crops have been good and there is every reason to expect readjustments in the lumbering Industry soon. Oregon communities generally have not experienced defense booms, and thus will be saved the damaging population adjust ments when the present emer gency has passed, Governor Sprague reminded the Rotar lans. Stanley Philips was chairman for the Tuesday meeting. IT An order granting the Pacific Portland Cement company an extension of time for completion of the hydro-electric project in Rogue River near Gold Hill was filed In circuit court yesterday by the state engineer's office.
