SPEAKTOROTARY
Boys' Leader Emphasizes
Training Need Governor
Notes State Prosperity.
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.
The state game commission
filed a protest against the time
extension on the grounds the
state engineer had no Jurisdic
tion to grant the extension and
that the project was detrimental
and would impair fish life and
migrations in the Rogue river.
The cement concern, formerly
the Beaver-Portland Cement
company, set forth an appeal of
the state game commission from
an injunction hearing against
the power development was still
pending before the state su
preme court, and it would not
be practical to go ahead with
construction work until a decis
ion had been handed down.
They asked for a time extension
until October 1, 1943.
The state game commission
has served notice of an appeal
to the Jackson county court, on
the state engineer's order ex
tending the time.
