WIVES CRITICIZE TOASTMASTERS AT YULE MEETING Guests, and self-appointed critics, were Medford Toast masters' wives when they were entertained by their husbands for the annual Christmas meet ing and dinner party Monday evening at Ehrheart's cafe. Pre ceding the main talk of the eve ning, by Orville Kingman, a humorous round-table discussion was held by the husbands on the subjects, "My Most Embarras sing Moment" and "My Great est Achievement." Mr. Kingman posed the ques tion, "Can We Have Permanent Peace?" Answering his own question, he pointed out that his tory has always repeated itself; that methods change but man's nature does not. A new genera tion, Kingman said, will repeat the mistakes of the old. He stat ed that the last world war fought as "the war to end wars" was climaxed by the League of Na tions, yet the lapse of a quarter of a century saw us plunged into the most catastrophic war of all time. To delay those wars which surely will come, said Mr. King man, we should recognize their pending danger and see that our armaments are adequate to de fend our shores, that suitable bases are maintained at all imps and that military training is made a part of the curricula of every school boy. Following the last war, the speaker said, we disarmed while our enemies armed which has resulted in a devastating cost in men and materiel. The least sacrifice lies In a program of preparedness, he emphasized. Gray Speaks ' Other speakers were Frank B. Gray, who delivered an im promptu speech on "Intererting Experiences" and Roy Harrison, who spoke on "Good and Bad Workmen." Wives of the Toast masters responded to the theme. "Why I Approve Toastmasters." President George Buchanan opened the meeting and in troduced visitors. Dr. A. A. Soule presided as toastmaster of the evening and Claude Haggard was toplcmaster. .Wallace Mur ray was critic. The dinner war enlivened by games conducted by Mrs. Marjorte Hopkins and the evening closed with an ex change of gifts.

NOTICE TO MEMBERS JACKSON COUNTY CIVIC- MUSIC ASSOCIATION Initial Concert SIDOR BELARSKY Russian Bass -Baritone MEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM WED., Dec. 15, 8:15 p. m. No Reserved Seats -Admission To Members Only j It seams hard to reallz this will be the third Christmas since Pearl Harbor. The past two years have been the busiest in onr rail road's long history, and time has seemed to race along. like everyone else, we have had problems. The wartime shortages of equipment and manpower have' made it difficult to handle oar big war load. We have had to restrict travel, instead of encourage it as we'd do in normal times. Men In uniform and essential war travelers now hare first cal on all our facilities. Ton might think, as we did for awhile, that ear inability to serve travelers as usual dur ing the war would lead to criticism of onr railroad. But generally speaking, exactly the reverse appears to have happened. Can a railroad say "no" and still keep friends t If we may judge by letters people write us, and by comments heard on our trains and at our stations, more people now hare a friendly feeling toward our railroad than ever before. This friendliness no doubt derives in part from understanding of the war job all Amer ican railroads are doing. And we believe that folks who live along our lines in the Test and South now recognise clearly the strategio location of SJ in relation to Pacific war drive. But we sense deeper meaning , . , r cr- mm :.- if Mm "ft?? ml- In many ways this war has drawn Amer icans closer together, for now our common national goal is Victory. Most people today are tending to think less of self and more of "the other fellow." Tie spirit of good will which we associate with Christmas is now more widely mani fested all year through. We railroaders have felt this friendliness growing along our lines as our war task has grown. We will keep on trying to deserve it, and to give the best transportation service possible under wartime conditions. Both now nd after the war, we hope that people will think of us as the friendly Southern Pacific. On Christmas, as every day, the trains of war will roll over our rails, and our people will he hard at work. But still this Day wiB have for us a bright and special meaning ) because you folks who live along our lines) have made the Christmas Spirit so real to as.' A. T.
