I TEW MBDrORD MAIL TRIBTTKH Wsdnssdsr. April IS.1S4S Tl rhm Francisco world eeurity conference will not give ui 'peace on a planer , oui i n,in h flrt iteD towards world peace" declared Dr. James Millar, uregon duiio vu"6-i oriHro.coH the annual soring festival of the Jackson County Home Economics Extension units yesterday afternoon. Inter national friendship was the theme of the festival. This is a world revolution w are now experiencing," the speaker said. "We cannot stop It, but we can direct It." Dr. Millar developed the theme that since modern science had literally made the world smaller, it is no longer possible to Isolate one nation from another and that problems of economics, social trouble and disease are now world problems which "w can not avoid and we cannot ignore. ' Continuing, the speaker said that It is no longer possible to apply mere brains and ability to our world problems, but we must now bring character Into the picture. He warned his lis teners that the attitude of many persons In this nation is one of mistrust and misunderstanding towards other nations and other peoples and that before world security can be achieved, each nation must make adjustments and sacrifices and must make an honest effort to understand the viewpoint of others. "If we are ever to have peace, we must pay the price of peace," he said. Dr. Millar atated that the prob lem of color prejudices was one which must ba met and added that If a third world war follows this one, It might very well be the colored races against the white, with Russia as the arsenal for the colored races, since that country has no color prejudices. The speaker especially urged his listeners to make an effort to inform themselves about Russia and Quoted Madame Curie s say. ing, "Let us cot fear, let us understand." The speaker closed on a note of hopefulness, stating that he believed the world problems had reached a crisis, as in a disease, after which improve ment follows.

KIRTLEY SPEAKS AT ROTARY CLUB Ed Kirtley, assistant football coach of Medford high school's state championship 1944 team, discussed problems of juvenile delinquency before the Medford Rotary club Tuesday. Speaking at the luncheon meeting at the Hotel Medford, Kirtley paid a high tribute to the local gridiron title winners for their behavior on trips which ' the team took during the past season. In discussing the present-day problems of youth, Kirtley re minded Rotarians that modern labor saving methods and inven tions have deprived the boy and girl of home tasks. Wartime has brought a changed home en vironment and added to society's responsibility to young people. A youth center with adequate facilities for wholesome recre ation was urged as the local solution to the juvenile problem. His remarks - were emphasized by the showing of colored mov ing pictures prepared by John Day, showing Medford high school youngsters on obstacle courses. Verne Shangle, Jr., was the projector operator. Kirtley was introduced by Lester Harris, high school principal and Rotary program chairman. LOCAL WOMEN GET THOUSANDS OF EXTRA RED POINTS Every day, precious red points are being paid to housewives who turn in used fats to their butch ers. Because this country is faced with a possible fat shortage, these used kitchen fats are even more urgently needed to make medicines, synthetic rubber, gun powder, soaps, paints and a hundred other essentials on ths battlefield and home front Every woman can help towards final Victory by saving every drop of used fats each time she cooks. Even a spoonful is worth salvaging. Won't you keep saving until final Victory over both Germany and Japan?

IUY WAR BONDS and KRP THIMI ANNOUNCING the association of SYDNEY BOUCK with Pruitt's Music Center At Director of Instrumental Music for the Medford Public Schools for the past two years, Mr. Bouck has greatly furthered the cause of music in southern Oregon. Now, at the end of the current school semester, his expert knowl edge and years of experience will guide Pruitt's in building a pott-war band and orchestra department adequate to a greater, pott-war Medford. With the advice of Mr. Bouck to guide protpective instrument purchaters, Pruitt's feel that they will be in a better position than ever to act as purchasing agents for their customers. This has been Pruitt's aim ever since starting in business in Medford in 1931. A purchasing agent should be an expert In his field who !ias his clients' interests uppermost in mind. DOROTHY PRUITT, whote specialty Is phonograph records, knows this field as few do. For years she has familiarized herself with all the leading record catalogt, such as Victor and Columbia. And being an ardent record collector herself, as well as a fine pianist, the can talk to fellow collectors with a warm under standing. JEUNESSE BUTLER, a professional organist and muticlan, Is well qualified to advise in the sheet music department. While teaching-material and vocal mutic are her specialties, she does not turn up her nose at boogie-woogie. ALMUS PRUITT brings years of experience and study to the radio and phonograph department. In 1943 he was selected by the U. S. Signal Corps to teach radio theory and practice to Signal Corps enrollees. After that program terminated, he worked for over a year in a Los Angeles radio factory specializing in areo nautical radio equipment. A musician also, he plans to see that the very finest in mutic and radio equipment is available to Medford and southern Oregon through Pruitt's Music Center. When television and other big post-war electronic developments break, the public may rely on Pruitt's Music Center to be in the forefront. 213 South Fir Street
