citizens to their responsibility in
government, Mrs. George H.

board of the league, spent Wed
nesday and Thursday of last
week with members of the Jack-1
son County league. Wednesday!

at the annual membership tea of j
xne tuuuLy league una inursaay
afternoon she conducted a spe
cial board meeting, the meeting
following luncheon at the home
of the county president, Mrs.
Justin Smith, on Geneva street.
At the tea Mrs. Engels spoke
briefly, stating that 600 leagues
in 34 states serve about 1500
communities. She declared that
the league acted always in the
Interest of the general public and
that the state and national programs-
are always formed on
ideas presented from local
league members.
Also speaking at the tea were
Mrs. Walter Inch, who said that
the league's efforts could lift
politics to its real meaning,
which is "the practice of skilled
statecraft" and Mrs. Leonard
Carpenter, who reviewed some
of the accomplishments of the
Jackson county league since its
organization about five years
ago. She spoke of the work
which league members did on
restaurant inspection, meat in
spection, securing of a county
Juvenile officer, aid given ser
vicemen in securing absentee
voting information and other
projects. f
Mrs. Smith, present president,
said that the league was plan
ning a more ambitious program
for the coming year, since war-1
time activities were on the de- j
cline locally, and that its imme
diate program would be along
the line of urging citizens to
take an interest in the coming
election and informing them
selves about issues and candi
dates. She said a members' meet
ing would be planned for each
of the winter months with the
exception of December.
The tea had been planned by
Mrs. H. D. Byington, member
ship chairman, and her assistant,
Mrs. A. A. Seekatz. In the receiv
ing line were Mrs. Smith, Mrs.
Carpenter and Mrs. Engels and
pouring during the tea hour
were Mrs. Karl Janouch and
Mrs. Carpenter. Also assisting
with arrangements for the tea
were Mrs. Eugene Thornd'ke,
who was in charge of refresh
ments, and Mrs. A. W. Aya, who
planned the program.
During the Thursday board
meeting Mrs. Engels discussed
how election information could
best be disseminated and mem
bership and program problems.
While here Mrs. Engels was en
tertained in the Veritas Orchards
home of Mrs. Carpenter, and
also spent an evening with Mr.
and Mrs. M. D. Field and family,

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. Lunch
was served at the hall and the
panel discussion, led by Mrs.
Bohnert of Central Point, fea
tured the afternoon session.
