Brougher.' Speaking at the Hotel Medford, Dr. Brou gher urged Rotarians to stand staunchly behind the established community institutions and to keep home life at a higher level while millions of men are away In military service. Dr. Brougher was the young est army chaplain in the first world war and, with his father, conducted funeral services for Will Rogers. He is now conduct ing a series of services at the First Baptist church of this city. The secret of happiness, ac cording to the speaker, is to "keep in good health, make a ! habit of looking on the bright side of things, accept cheerfully your own place in life, throw both heart and soul into any task, form a habit of doing good deeds daily and have firm faith in God." Dr. Brougher was in troduced by Archie Pierce. William D. Shannon, Seattle consulting engineer and gover nor of Rotary District 101, will arrive in Medford this afternoon and confer with officers and committee members of the local club at the Hotel Medford to night.

I mm DEWEY RESORTS TO SUBTERFUGE, CLAIMS TRUMAN Chicago, Oct. 25. U.R Sen. Harry S. Truman, Democratic nominee for the vice presidency, said today that Gov. Thomas E. Dewey was "hiding under the bed" in ignoring Truman's chal lenge that he repudiate eight Re publican senators seeking re election this year. When he learned that Dewey had declined to comment on his demand, Truman issued a state ment which said: "Just as I feared, Mr. Dewey has neither the courage nor the honesty to tell the American people what he intends to do about these eight Republican isolationists whose public utter ances and voting records brand them as isolationists and un trustworthy on foreign affairs. Mr. Dewey is hiding under the bed, afraid to answer that ques tion." Subterfuge Seen The statement said Dewey had resorted to "subterfuge" in getting telegrams from five Re publican senators and reading only one from Sen. Wallace H. White, Jr., of Maine in his for eign policy address last night. "Mr. Dewey did not read the telegrams from Sen. (Robert A.) : Taft, Republican isolationist : from Ohio," Truman " said. ' "When I reach Akron I am going : to tell the people of Ohio about , Sen. Taft's voting record on for-; eign affairs. It was a mighty bad one." -V; 2 Serve as a MEDICAL TECHNICIAN in the WAC ASK AT YOUR NEAREST U. S.

KILLING FROST HELD TWO WEEKS OVERDUE While there has been no kill ing frost in the central and southern area of the Rogue Riv er valley, one is overdue about two weeks, according to Assist ant County Agent C. B. Cordy. The first autumn frost, as a rule, comes about October 10, but this year it has not yet arrived. Most everything that could be damag ed by frost has been harvested, even most of the late garden truck, and ample time has been given flower gardeners to pro tect their plants. Cordy predicted one was due any morning, but would not forecast the day. IT WAS THE MAYOR New Vnrlc. Oct. 25. (U.R) Mrs. R. G.
