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.

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

: 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

News Behind

(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

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.
