CLUB SERVICE IS
TOLD IN REPORT
Extent and scope of the serv
ice rendered to young business
girls and civic organizations of
Medford during 1944 by the
Girls' Community club was re
vealed by reports of officers
and chairmen submitted at the
annual meeting of the board of
directors and the board of
trustees Monday night.
Although the activity pro
gram has been greatly curtailed
because of the need for junior
Hostesses at the USO and other
agencies assisting in the enter
tainment for enlisted personnel
at Camp White, numerous par
ties, dinners, dances, and a
wedding for one of the resident
girls, were held at the club
house.
Report of the matron. Mrs.
Stella Hendricksen, showed that
23 girls have enjdyed the co
operative living plan of the
club. The majority of these
girls were from smaller - com
munities in Jackson county and
have greatly appreciated the
one year resident term avail
able. The matron also assisted
many servicemen's wives in
finding housing accommodations.
One of the most interesting
Items of the report was that of
the employment service which
showed only 39 interviews in
contrast to the 1943 report of
293 women and girls aoDlvine
for domestic service. Telephone
cans from persons seeking in
formation totaled 144. The rec

ance of over 6000 persons.

an, gave a list of supplies pur
chased and reDairs made tn the
club house. She explained that
because of the age of the house
and the fact that some 400 per
sons a month were using the
facilities that a constant expense
for upkeep was necessary.
The building committee re
ported plans for a new club
house were being drawn ' up;
that a study had been made of
features desirable for this com
munity; and that it was the
hope that construction could
start as soon as the war was
over.
Mrs. Aletha Vawter. treasurer
for the past year, reported op
erating cost of the club house
to be $1912.72 of which $1818
was received from the Com
munity Chest. She further ad
vised that since only $1600 had
been allowed the Girls' Com
munity Club by the Community
Chest for the ensuing year that
curtailment in program would
have to be followed.

LEGION PLEDGES
FAIR DEAL FOR
RETURNING JAPS
Portland, Ore., Jan. 23 (U.R)
National Vice Commander
Dan M. McDade of the Ameri
can Legion today pledged that
the Legion will do its utmost
to see that the returning Japs
get a square deal."
McDade of Portland, said he
was "rather resentful" of the
smug attitude of the War Relo
cation Authority and some of
Its officials" and said the WRA
director, Dillon S. Meyer and
Secretary of Interior Harold
Ickes had made "misguided and
far from accurate statements."
Right to Opinion
These two officials. McDade
said, "lose sight of the fact that
people of western states have
a right to voice their opinions
relative to the Japanese. Let
me say right now that the fair
treatment which is requested
for the Japanese will be given
them by the citizens of this
area. The same people whom
Meyers and Ickes hold up to
scorn will be among the first to
see that the returned Japanese
are not molested."
Referring to the WRA. Mc
Dade sald: "I maintain that the
inept handling of the Tulelake
situation (Tulelake segregation
camp in northern California,)
made matters worse and it was
only when the army stepped in
tnat complete order was re
stored in the camp, where trou
blesome and vicious Japanese
are concentrated. I still believe
that the proper authority for
control of the camp should be
the military."

IN LEGISLATURE
Salem, Ore., Jan. 23. flJ.B
Gov. Earl Snell's request for an
investigation of the Oregon
Liquor Control commission's part
in the purchase of two distilleries
in 1943 remained the greatest
bone of contention so far in the
Oregon legislative session today,
as a fight developed in the sen
ate yesterday Tver the confirma
tion of the two senate members
of the Investigating committee.
Split primarily down party
lines, the senate wrangled back
and forth as Sen. Thomas Ma
honey. Multnomah county Demo
crat, moved to provide bi-partisan
membership on the commit
tee. His motion lost.
Sen. Lew Wallace, another
Multnomah Democrat, then de
manded that a regular liquor
control commission report be
placed on his desk "forthwith"
so that he could act "Intelligent
ly" on the questions.
He said ne had not seen such
a report.
Wallace was ruled out of order
by Senate President Howard C.
Belton, after the upper house up
held Belton's ruling.
The two senate members of
the investigating committee al
ready appointed, Angus Gibson
and Paul Patterson, were then
confirmed by voice vote.
Eugene Marsh, speaker of the
house, anpointed Reps. Ralph
Moore, Henry Semon and Har
vey Wells, and they were con
firmed by the house. Semon is
the only Democrat on the com
mittee. Secretary of State Robert S.
Farrell, Jr , proposed to the joint
ways and means committee an
idea whereby $2,500,000 of state
buildings could be financed from
the $250,000 annual take from
fee-payers at state institutions, in
ten years. The committee is con
sidering the proposal. f
