tribute to YoaEh v Planned May Day By Medford Elks With the slogan "Make May Day American," the Medford lodge of Elks will sponsor a pro gram in observance of Youth Day on May 1, according to Exalted Ruler V.flAubrey Norris, who announced Saturday that this is in compliance with a proc lamation recently Issued by Mayor D. L. Flynn. "We join wholeheartedly In this move to make proper recog nition of youth," Norris said. "Over-emphasis on juvenile de linquency, and the problems of youth generally, tend to make us forget the wonderful things that our young people are doing to help make ours a better city, state and nation. It's time that we took a look at youth's achievement,, and encouraged them on the path of good citi zenship." The erand exalted ruler of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has requested all subordinate lodges to participate in a nation-wide program on May 1. He asserted that "Elks are proud of America's youth for: their devotion to liberty, justice and honor," and he said tJ that May Day was an appropri ate date to take recognition of them. "While subversives stage noisy demonstrations for Commun ism's philosophy of regimenta tion, dictatorship and the de struction of human rights, let us join with Youth in a triumphant demonstration for American Ideals which will inspire and encourage tomorrow's leaders to continue and increase their con tribution to the preservation of our liberties,.' he said. Norris reported that the pro gram orthe Youth Day celebra tion will begin at 8 p.m. in the Elks' temple, and that the boy and girl winner of the local Elks leadership contest will receive their awards. William McAllister Jr., Medford high school, and Marilyn Bohnert, of Central Point high school, are the win ners. Awards also will be given to the winners in the Most Valu able Student contest. These win ners are: First place, Roy Rogers, Medford; second place, Neil Richardson, Central Point; third place.

Over 100 persons are taking part in the campaign, which is headed by Bernard Loosemore, parish chairman, and Tracy H. Crum, public chairman. Hosts for the breakfast will be the chairman and vice-chairman of the previous St. Mary's funds campaign. They are L. A. McCormick, chairman, and R. J. Batzer, Dr. A. M. Depner, Paul W. Haviland, Louis G. Lemire, J. H. Meyer, Joe Naumes and John J. Wilkinson. To Contact New Members New members of the parish and persons who have not pre viously contributed to the build ing fund will be contacted by the new campaign committee dur ing the afternoon. The Very Rev. John M. Berger, executive chair man and treasurer of the drive, has requested that they remain at home between 1 and 4 p.m Sunday to facilitate work of the volunteer committee. With pre-registration of stu dents at St. Mary's school for fall term already reaching an all- time, high, according to Father Berger, "it is imperative, not only to get the building com pleted, but to assure the use of extra classroom space tempo rarily removed from original plans because of lack of funds." By retaining the room, over loading and combination classes will be eliminated, Father Ber ger explained. Over 400 Students St. Mary's enrollment next fall will be "well over 400 grade and high ' school students, the executive chairman stated. The new high school will accommo date approximately 200 students. Father Berger stated that, "With enlarged school facilities, a much more versatile and ap pealing program of student ac tivities is contemplated." He ex pressed hopes for an expansion of the present student sell-government program, journalism de partment, public speaking, dra matics and vocational training and an enlarged athletic pro gram. Father Berger stated Medford tax payers will receive "appre ciable" savings from construc tion of the new school building.

So heavy was the smoke that nearly all white objects changed color over night. The young lamb in the pasture that looked like a ball of white fluffy yarn, now resembles a mop used to mop up spilled milk on a dirty floor. Viqiy Beals of Beale Lane antf Henry Maury of Central Pointj old neighbors and friends of J. S. Richardson when he lived in the West Side district called on him at his home here one day last week. H.

Roy Nichols who died recently in Medford was well known here having grown from a smpll boy to manhood in this district, his father having homesteaded a tract of land which is now a part of the Modoc Orchard, the Nich ols home being on almost the exact spot as the Bert Pierce home. Mrs. J. S. Richardson return ed Wednesday from a several days' visit in Portland going as a guest of Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Leavitt who were transacting business there.

Installation of a ten-Inch steel pipe line has Just been complet ed by the local ditch company. It is about one-fourth mile in length and will supply irrigation water to the south-west end of Modoc Orchard and the Hansler farm. At the last meeting of the Community Club, April 18, school matters were discussed at some length and a committee was appointed to get more infor mation along these lines. A pro gram of songs by the school chil dren, tap and costume dances by students of the Miss Pat Studios, a Japanese dance in costume by Mrs. Floyd Doland, a recent ar rival from Japan, and a talk on 4-H work and the showing of moving pictures by Rufus Cate, 4-H club leader, was enjoyed by those present. So far all those we have talk ed to about Governor McKay's decision not to tinker with the time have expressed themselves as highly pleased with what they call his sensible decision to keep the state on standard time. Last Sunday's sunshine brought a heavy flow of traffic out this way causing a heavy cloud of dust along the unfinish ed strip of road near Bybee bridge which caused many car drivers to turn on their lights to be safe.
