Dimies and 7Vi Racial Problems Symposium Theme F or Council Meet Forecasting great social changes for the immediate fu ture, Ben Schmidt, Y. M. C. A. secretary for Medford took part in a symposium on racial under standing before the Jackson County Council of Parents and Teachers held September 20 at the recreation hall of the hous ing project on Priddy street. Mr. Schmidt further declared that youth is the pace setter in the world of today. Charles W. Crary, speaking from the viewpoint of labor, stressed the fact that the work ing man ehould have equal op portunity for wages, housing and decent living conditions re gardless of race, color or creed. With the negro composing one tenth of the population of the United Stntcs, there is a great need for the education of the average citizen in racial toler ance, he said. Parents' observations, as brought out by Mrs. Everett Faber, were to the effect that there is no racial prejudice among children until it is fos tered by unthinking parents. "Let character, rather than color, be the basis on which your children choose their friends," she declared. The Rev. George R. Turney, Episcopal pastor, stated that ra cial intolerance is a moral ques tion and that the source of our thinking is at fault when we deny equality to all men. We need the home, the school and church, working together in unison, to promote racial under standing, the rector believes. Special mention was made during the discussion to the ef fect that citizens of the west coast must prepare themselves to meet the Japanese-American question fairly when the war is ended and comment tended to show that parents and teachers of the county are awake to the problem. The morning session Was called to order by the president, Mrs. H. O. Colburn. Following regular business, a lively com munity sing was led by Mrs. Hershel Obye of Grants Pass, regional vice-president.
