Talent Students
Hear Address By
German Student
Talent, Jan. 21 The assembly
program at Talent high school
this week, sponsored by the
freshman class, featured a talk
by Harold Steiler, Southern Ore
gon college student irom ixurn
bere. Germany. Steiler described
differences between schools in
Germany and America.
He stated that at ten years of
age a German child's future ca
reer was determined because at
this time he is placed in one or
two types of schools, either a
trade school leading to daytime
apprenticeship and evening class
es, or a pre-protcssionai nigu
school leading to university pro
fessional training.
In comparing this university
trainlne with that in America,
Steiler stated that the German
priucation stresses the theoretical
and American education the
practical.
riiiestlani Asked
Steiler remarked that It was
his aim to take back to Germany
the things about American eau-
cation which could De useiuny
integrated in the German system.
The Talent students asueu
Steiler many questions about
life in Germany and in reply he
told them about how the first
post-war movies were the cheap
er American "Westerns" with
English sound track; later our
military government required in
troduction of better films and
German sound track.
When asked about their autos,
he replied, that the German cars
are "toy cars" compared to ours
and only one person in 60 owns
one. A fine network of roads
throughout Europe is under con
struction, he said, as part of the
European recovery program.
Manufacturing Recovering
Manulacturing is rapidly re
covering, and it must earn
enough to import foods, as Ger
many's agriculture is not suffic
ient for her people. Construction
of new homes is of a somewhat
temporary nature, according to
Steiler, as materials for fine, per
manent buildings arc not avail
able. His own city of Nurnberg,
he said, had its older portion
completely destroyed by fire in
one night of bombing, and much
of it is still a mass of rubble.
Steiler expects to return to
Germany at the end of this
school year at Southern Oregon
college.

New Army Reserve
Set-up Explained,
Efficiency Seen
The department of the army
announced Saturday that new
organized reserve corps program
will go into effect about April 1
and sixth army headquarters of
ficials stated that more efficient
training at less cost will result
in the eight western states of
sixth army's area.
An active reserve, an inactive
reserve and an honorary reserve
are planned.
The active reserve will be
divided into an organized reserve
of personnel in unit needed for
mobilization, and a volunteer
reserve of officers and men
needed for expansion of the
army of the United States in an
emergency. Units to be eliminat
ed from the present organized
reserve for the most part will
be absorbed by volunteer units.
Officers who can not or do
not desire to participate in the
active reserve but are subject to
call in an emergency will form
the Inactive reserve. In the hon
orary reserve will be personnel
of long service who request
such assignment.
To Retain Unlit
All ORC divisions In the sixth
army area definitely will be re
tained, officials said. They in
clude the 104th infantry division
in Oregon and Washington. At
nresent there are 52.500 officers
and enlisted men in 1,600 units
in the eight western states. Units
probably will be reduced to 900.
Under the new program it is
estimated that in event of mobil
ization some 100,000 men offic
ers, 15,000 female officers, 15,000
warrant officers and 200,000 en
listed men would be required im
mediately. The figures indicate
ample opportunity for continued
participation by all presently
active reservists; it was said.
Professional advancement by
reservists in the new units will j
be possible. Pay and credits will ;
continue to be authorized with
highest priority for pay going to
active reservists. The program
will not effect present plans for
summer training.
