Newspaper Page Text. MEDFORD MAIL- TRIBUNE,- MEDFORD. OREGON,' FRIDAY," OCTOBER 8, 1943. PAGE THREE I Mrs. M; Kinney of Ashland is Made Vice President in 66th Annual Meeting. Br A. F. Stennett The Pioneer Society of South ern Oregon held its 66th annual meeting yesterday in the old court house at Jacksonville with attendance of about 100 pio neers. President J. B. Coleman called the assemblage to order at 10:43 and the audience sang "America" with Elsie Carlton Strang presiding at the piano and Harry Young acting as song .deader. This was followed by the invocation which was delivered by Rev. L. F. Belknap. Next on the program was a , solo, "The Little Old Churcli in the Valley," sung by Harry Young with Elsie Carlton Strang presiding at the piano. As an encore Mr. Young sang "In the Garden of Tomorrow." Story Challenged Mrs. Atlanta Naif ziger read a paper which she had compiled from recorded historical facts which refuted recent magazine articles asserting Marcus Whit man organized the first pioneer settlement expedition to the Oregon country. She alleges that a diary of that period shows that the credit belongs to her father. Judge W. G. Parker, and his brothers-in-law, Jessie and Lind- sey Applegate. " The president intr o d u c e d 'James T. Chlnnock of Grants Pass who gave the principal ad dress of the day, a very interest ing talk. He admitted he was not a pioneer but had devoted considerable time to Oregon his tory and described it as roman tic and picturesque, containing the names of many heroic men and women. Vlning Ellquent Irving Vining of Ashland made an eloquent talk in behalf Ipfs their longevity and are not bountiful dinner In the dining hall prepared by the ladies of the grange." It was a sumptuous repast, perfect in every detail, and the way the boys and girls went after it, indicated that the president knew his onions when he adjourned the business meet ing for an hour and a half. At the afternoon session the business started with reading of mo nunuies oi tno previous meeting, which was followed by a report that twenty-one mem bers of the society had passed away during the fiscal year lust ended.' . Lane Elected ' Next came the nomination of officers for the ensuing year. Clarence Lane of Ashland was named president; Mrs. Mabel Kinney of Ashland, wl dent; Clare Hanley of Jackson ville, was re-elected secretary; Mrs. Elda Farlow, of Ashland, treasurer for that district; Mrs. MolUe Britt, of Jacksonville, treasurer for northern district. All the new officers were elect ed by acclamation. The meeting of the society iiexi year wiu oe neld at Ash land. , A vote of thanks was extend ed to Harry Young and Elsie Carlton Strang for the beautiful music they provided A motion nrevailed that the American Legion of Ashland be requested to secure markers for me unmarked graves of 17 men who lost their lives near Ash. land in 1853 and 1855 in battles with the Indians. Their graves are in the Hill cemetery, hear me nignway south of Ashland. : Oldeit Members The meeting then adjourned, after which the Mail Tribune representative went gum-shoeing around the hall looking for the oldest male and female pio neers. The girls were reluctant to state their ages and for a while it looked like the reporter would have to return to Medford with no nominees for the honors, but before the canvass was quite completed Mrs.. Alice Ulrich came to our rescue and acknow ledged that she would be 87 years young on the 26th day of the present month. She also stated that she had been a con tinuous member of the Rebekahs for 64 years and was the oldest In Oregon. ' h - .; . Real' old men are rather proud of the unknown characters of pioneer days who faced priva tion and danger but whose names are not recorded in his tory. - At noon the meeting was adjourned until 1:30 to enjoy a from his physique and youthful appearance, and - without any bad luck, ought to celebrate about twenty-five more birth days. His parents came across the plains to Oregon from Iowa in 1847.: - - - E BY The Church of the Nazarene, as a denomination, is sponsoring what- is termed a church ad vance program-during October. The slogan for ' this month is "One Million Contacts." The Church of the Nazarene, accord ing to Fred M. Weatherford, local pastor, is approximating the 200,000 mark in member ship. " Special days' designated- by the general church are: Sunday, October 10, Church Apprecia tion - day; October 17, Family Sunday; 24, Home-Comlhg Sun day,' and 31, Church Victory day. . ' . All of the ' local churches throughout the entire connection are making the current week a week of prayer with public and cottage prayer meetings, , chains of prayer, et cetera, every day during the week. - The "Million Contacts" Is broken down and assigned to various' churches throughout the movement. October 31, the final Sunday of the series, is to culminate in a victory rally with the reception of new members. reluctant like women, so I soon dug up a candidate for the honor of being the oldest pioneer. The candidate is L. F. Belknap , of Medford who confesses -he was born at Monroe, Oregon, in 1852 and is now 81 years of age, and F, Induction of three men. from Jackson county has . been an nounced by the Klamath Falls office of the Marine corps: They are Richard Dean Chamberlain, son of Mr. and Mrs. Homer D. Chamberlain of Shady Cove; Robert Bernard Sutton, 18, whose parents are Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jackson Sutton of Rt. 1, Medford, and Robert Bradley Slagle, son of Mr. 1 and Mrs. Henry Tillery Slagle of Pros pect. -. ' Chamberlain ' attended ' Eagle Point high school for two years, winning a football letter, and for the past six months has been employed by. Bob Chamberlain, Prospect logging contractor Young Sutton attended Medford high school and has since been doing farm work. Slagle attend' ed Talent high school, winning letters in football and basket ball -and has been working for his father as a truck driver. All three will report for train ing at San Diego, Calif., after 14- day furloughs. T ' A farewell fellowship dinner will be given by the congrega tion of the Central Avenue Church of Christ this evening to honor the pastor, the Rev. Ken neth Knox and Mrs. Knox, wno are leaving next week. The Rev. Knox is to be. pastor of the Church of Christ at Stayton, Ore. The farewell dinner will be at the church at 8 p. m. ' The . committee, in charge states that all members and friends of the church are invited to attend the farewell dinner. The Rev. and Mrs. Knox and their daughter, Carol Ann, will leave Tuesday for Stayton. It is understood . that the . pastor's successor has not been named, News Behind The News by Paul Malloo (OoutlnuM from Ptc On) cant void is evident in the com muniques from the Italian front. Mention of any German air force activity; can seldom be found. Similarly. American bombers over the Rhineland claimed to have shot down around 75 nazi planes in a single recent night. Plainly through these facts can be seen Hitler's concentration of his last air strength at home, and the tact that it istakihg a terri fic mauling there. .- LAST . acceptable' , figures here ontint Hitler' nresent plane production at ' about 1200 a mnnlh fcnmpwhat over the 1000 figure generally., used)'. But his losses have Deen more man inav for the past two or three months. Not -since spring has he been able to maintain appreciable Dai- ance in aircraft production over losses. , Flying ' Fortresses accounted for 200 . ships in September, Thunderbolts - and : Marauders for 200 more. British and Rus sian figures are not available, but they no .doubt got a some what smaller amount. The rest of his losses are attributable to increased accidents' in' internal use. From this unreported front comes trustworthy word , that his air. force is unable' to get spare, parts for replacement in sufficient quantity to maintain former efficiency. ' These matters have caused air officers to . become more enthusiastic In expectation of an early German breakdown. Their data show Hitler has been un able to move his most important war industries from the vulner able Ruhr and Rhine valleys. Heavy Industries have had to remain there in spite of the bombings because of the prox imity of coal and the availability of labor. . - - To move that area back into temporary safety in Czecho slavakia for instance would take time and require continuous long haul of coal, with railroad facilities already disrupted by bombing. TTHE theme of a postwar peace based on American self-inter est and neighborly negotiation without too much trust in Utopi an formulas is developing fast. Another globe-trotter, President Johnston of the United States Chamber of Commerce, has re turned with a speech today ad vocating just such a course. Mr. Johnston wants recognl tion of "our immense stake in law and order, in decency and prosperity all over the planet" but not on the basis of disarm ing alliances, or tailor-made plans for new world orders. He says a strong, prosperous self- reliant America can serve as a mighty bulwark of world peace and progress and he could have said the mightiest. The plan which will be adopted he rightly predicts will come slowly, painfully, and oh a basis of evolution in collabora tion among the nations. My own guess is the main inspiration of such an evolution will be a gi gantic Hull trade program. A' M. M.
