WAINWR1GHT ASHLAND VISITOR EN ROUTE SOUTH "There must never be another Pearl Harbor, never another Bataan, never another Corregi- dor," General Jonathan Wain wright. hero of Bataan, told a gathering at Ashland Saturday night in urging a program of universal training with a strong national guard and army reserve. "A strong country is never at tacked," the famous general told Ashlanders. "The attack of the Japanese was encouraged by our unpreparedness in 1941." The general told of MacArthur's final words before leaving the Philippines for Australia, how he said that never before had a force the size of the American 100,000-man garrison at Bataan and Corregidor been so isolated. In simple words the tragic pic ture of Americans and native troops "burned up" in a 27-day continuous bombardment were told by the man who led the gal lant last stand. The tall, kindly four-star gen eral, "S k i n n y" Wainwright passed through Ashland Satur day enroute to California and to an army assignment in the eart. His son, Naval Commander Jack Wainwright and his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wainwright, accom panied him and were overnight guests of Senator and Mrs. Esrl Newbry at their home at 120 High street in Ashland. A small dinner party was held for the Wainwrights with Mr. and Mrs. Don McGregor of Grants Puss and Mr. and Mrs. Herb Grey of Medford as guests. A few peo ple visited the Newbry home dur ing the evening to meet the dis tinguished guests, among them being Rep. and Mrs. Frank Van Dyke and Rep. and Mrs. Hilding Bengtson. General Wainwright expressed considerable interest in the southern Oregon country and is planning to return for steelhead fishing in Rogue river when duties permit. He recalled that his father, one of the long line of Wainwrights who have served the nation in the army, was a lieutenant with forces fighting the Indians in Oregon in pioneer days. It was apparent that the gen eral is regaining rapidly his health and vigor after his trying days in Japanese prison camps at Formosa, Tokyo, Chemulpo and Sian. He showed the weari ness of intensive Victory bond selling appearances and voiced the hope that he might rest when he arrives at Monterey, the home of the Wainwrights. SNOW GIVES PROMISE OF IRRIGATION SUPPLY Snows in the hieh hills tl, past week give promise of a late irrigation water supply next year. Watermnstpr Pllninn Smith reports. There are now close to two feet at Fish Lake and corresponding amounts in the Siskivous and at Hintt T.w The fall at Fish Lake, main source of supply for the Med- iora irrigation district is now ft NOTHING we can do can adequately repay the more than 250,000 American heroes who died that we might live. But we CAN and MUST provide hospital care and treatment for the hun dreds and thousands who are maimed and crippled some, in body, some in mind. To do lest would be a lasting reproach to the free institutions of de mocracy for which THEY fought.

Watermaster Smith says the early fall will pack, and form a firm foundation for the late win ter snows, and barring an ex ceptional warm spell means late water next summer. The last readings were made last Friday, and considerable snow fell over the week-end, the watermaster says. OCTOBER AID LESS THAN YEAR BEFORE General assistance given by the Jackson county Public Wel fare commission for October of 1945 fell somewhat below the figures for 944, according to figures presented at the Novem ber meeting of the commission held last week.

Irrigation Water Hearing Underway In Circuit Court The irrigation water hearing of Minnie Straub against P. S. Jensen and others for adjudica tion of the water rights to Caris Creek, in the Missouri flats sec tion of the Applegate, is under way before Circuit Judge Her bert K. Hanna. The plaintiff is represented by Attorney George M. Roberts and the defendants by James Chinnock of Grants Pass.

Plaintiff asks for a decree giv ing her the water right. where else will 50c buy so much? At nearly at wo can figure out. It costs about 50 contt a day more to stay at The Olym pic than, let ui say, the aver age Seattle hole). Usually our Northwest neighbors stay about three days. So, actually, it costs you onfy $1.50 more when you stay at The Olympic But where else, and how else, will SO cents buy so muchf At The Olympic you are stopping at a hotel which ranks with the best In the West. It's the center of things In Seattle. Shows, shops, movies, ust about every thing Is within, or about. Its block-square walls. There are three dining rooms affording a choice of dining to suit every preference, and every pocketbook. There are the Coffee Shop and the Grill which serve delicious meats, at modest prices. Or there's the Georgian Room where you may dance while you dine eleganlly. After dark, there's dancing nightly In the swank Olympic Bowl to name bands. Imported from New York, to make the evening memorable. So, next time you come to Seattle come to The Olympic. You'll like our friendly, neighborly, way of doing things and be surprised how much greater will be the enjoyment of your visit so little greater the cost. TOM GIlDFIHtVI Cnral Monomer SEATTLE'S . HOTEL , eaa,isiriilt,JJ -- tL. 'Tl DOWN WHILE IN "Snafu," the cursing parrot belonging to Attorney Hugh Col lins, former army lieutenant, quartered in the county jail, is taming down his language, his owner and jailer Sorge report. As soon as warm weather comes again, "Snnfu" will be placed on probation in the Collins back yard. Attorney Collins said today the parrot was in good health, contented and enjoying jail life. He visits with the four or five inmates and at times "plays like a puppy." Many offers have been receiv ed by mail to purchase the pet, but it is not for sale. As high as $150 has been offered. A Portland woman wrote last week saying she would like to have custody of the bird, but not to buy it, and promised to give it good care. "I worked in the shipyards during the war, and anything the parrot might say would not embarrass me," she wrote. Offers to buy "Snafu", or give him a home came from many states, including one from North Carolina.

For a cuar(cr of a century the Legion has represented the American way the Constitution and all (hat it stands for. Small wonder, for the members of the Legion have fought in World Wars I and IL for the things that the Constitution grants us. You know the members of the Legion. You meet them every day. The driver of the bus you take to work. The owner of your favorite restaurant. The president of your bank and one of the guards, too. The conductor on the train on that last trip you took. Your doctor, the druggist on the corner, the owner of the local theatre and the man who runs the pro jection machine. This isn't the entire list. To complete it would require an enumeration of every type snd sort of employment, business or profession; every race and creed; every shade of political opinion or affiliation; every degree of financial condition. The members of the Legion sre war vet erans, yes veterans of World Wars I and II. But they are more than that they are men and women imbued with a deep and lasting love and respect for this coun-' try and its principles. They are men and women of ill s colors and creeds, from MEDFORD POST AMERICAN Meets the 2nd and Every Month at Monday. Nov. 26. 1943 by Miss Marcla McFarland. field director, U. S. Navy Hos pital.

But they have (his in common love of country. They like the American way of life here at home and it is their aim to keep it that way. Because the Legion is founded on such rock-firm foundations, it has survived the onslaughts of other elements that sought to shake it. And that, too, is a tribute to the integrity of 1,500,000 Legion members in over 12,000 posts. The fact that the membership of the Legion has continued to grow through the years, and is now at the highest mark ever reached in its his tory, is answer enough to the question, "What do the American people think of the American Legion?" From the homes of its members, to national and inter national affairs, (he Legion's strength and understanding arc felt, for its power and influence reaches far. That's what the Legion is. What it does, is another story a fascinating story . . . which future messages will tell. The American Legion reaches into the homes and future of its members into the homes and futures of (he veterans of World War I and World War II bring ing with it benefits that come only through a group of free men working for the ben efit of their country and each other.
