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.
Dr. Millar spoke at the high
school auditorium, where the
afternoon session of the festival
was held, with Mrs. Jason Ottin-
ger presiding. Miss Marian Far-
rell, home demonstration agent.

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?

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.
