Convention Hears
President Speak
Saturday Evening
Ideas are the most important
factor in the development of
the human race, Dr. Elmo Stev
enson, president of Southern
Oregon college, told delegates to
the national convention of Ro
tana club meeting in Medford
Saturday night. President Stev
enson addressed a formal ban
quet of the group at Jackson
hotel.
In a series of questions, the
speaker stressed that dollars and
cents values are not the most
important element of education
or the relationships of human
beings.
Asking "can you determine
the value of a person by the
amount of money it costs to raise
a child" thhe speaker said that it
costs about $8,750 to raise a
child from birth to 18 or 20
years. Answering his question
"can you determine the value of
a person by the amount of money
he earns in a lifetime," Dr. Stev
enson said a grade school grad
uate earns on the average of
$66,000, a high school graduate
$88,000 and a college graduate
an average of $144,000.
Speaking on "can you deter
mine the value of a husband to
a wife, or a wife to a husband,"
Dr. Stevenson declared that mar
ried men live 30 per cent long
er than unmarried men, and that
fewer of them commit suicide,
and that married women live 12
per cent longer than single wo
men. If one viewed human life from
the pure standpoint of science,
the speaker said, it is cheap since
one can purchase the substances
that make up a human being for
about 97 cents in any drug store.
Many millionaires are re
membered for their service to
humanity and their ideas- rather
than for their money, he said,
and then named men who have
contributed ideas to the world,
beginning with Jesus Christ.
He mentioned Mahatma Gan
dhi for his idea of passive res
istance; Marie Curie, atomic en
ergy; Winston Churchill, the
four freedoms; Theodore Roose
velt, conservation; Franklin
Roosevelt, help for the common
man.
Dr. Stevenson also paid trib
ute to Jeanette Smith of South
ern Oregon college who has sent
many books to the Philippine
islands to help with the educa
tion of youth there.

Uafod Prats CarrMpcastari
acted since he did his turn in
a high school play.
But, guided by veteran direc
tor Mike Curtiz, Rogers won ap
plause from the critics when
his movie was unveiled last
week.
"Waal, thig is like politics.
You have to leave the back door
open," he grinned. "I won't be
committed one way or another,
but I might do other pictures.
I'll have to look over the parts
as they come along.
Just a Sidalina
"I wouldn't mind acting as a
sideline. But I couldn't do it as
a full-time career, I'm too old
to change."
Roger and his sister, Mary,
attended .a special premiere of
the picture in their father's
home town. Claremore, Okla.
All the Rogers clftn thought the
movie wag "fine," he added.
"My reaction to the picture is
the same as when we started,"
he grinned. "I wanted to go hide
my head under a log.
"I went to the rushes every
day to watch my mistakes. It's
like hearing your voice for the
first time. You keep thinking,
that can not be me!
"I called that projection room
'the room where I died a thou
sand deaths'."
Had To B At East
The hardest job, he went on,
was learning to appear "at
ease."
"At first I was very much
afraid of making mistakes," he
said. "When a scene had to be
shot over, I was desolate. Here
was five million dollars 6ut the
window.' I felt like I was carry
ing the whole picture on my
shoulders.
"Jane Wyman was my best
support. Before each scene the
director would explain all that
had gone on before in the plot,
to get me into the mood. It was
complicated. Then Jane would
say, 'Oh, forget all that. Just
count one-two before you turn
your head.' She was incisive
and direct."
"It was a thrill to see. my
name up in lights," he said.
"I ate in the studio commis
sary every day but I never did
see any movie stars," he added
wistfully. "I guess they ate in
their dressing rooms." .

Owner's Signature I
What's going on here? Well, ifs
an artisfs conception of our Superintend
ent of Communications. The tools he works
with now are just about as varied as the
illustration indicates.
Time was when the Superintendent of
Telegraph on a railroad had a fairly un
complicated job. But things have changed.
Electronics have come to the railroad.
We still use the telegraph, of course. In
fact, our daily stint of passing information
around involves some 100,000 telegrams.
But we also use some interesting variations
on the telegram-to say nothing of using
every other form of communication as well.
Because of that, the man who used to be
known as our "Superintendent of Tele
graph" now has the title, "Superintendent ,
of Communications." And since he is re
sponsible for "getting the word around" to
all the right people at the right time, to
keep our railroad running safely, on sched
ule, and still more efficiently, he works with

telegraph, teletype, telephone (about 150,
000 calls every day), radar, walkie-talkie,
radiophone, pneumatic tube, microfilm,
automatic-electronic freight car locater,
and virtually every other known device of
communication. He also works with
100,000 miles of wire on our coast-to-coast
telegraph, plus 70,494 miles of super-imposed
"carrier" circuits. In short, his me
diums of communication are so varied that
we had to change his title. The old one
didn't fit any more.
There are many ways of measur
ing a railroad's progressiveness. We think
Southern Pacific's rapid strides in the field
of modern communications indicate our
railroad's determination to step ahead,
taking advantage of scientific advances to
make our good service still better.
And while we're on the subject, we'd lib
to brag a small brag about our S.E people,
many of them old-timers, who exclaimed,
"Hey, what's going on here?" at their first
view of some new electronic monster of
communication. They've been foremost in
taking hold, learning, adapting themselves,
building the communications record that
enables Southern Pacific to serve the peo
ple of the Southwest and West a little faster
and better each day.
Some of the new electronic device our
communications people uae ore dramatic
and exciting. We'll tell you more about
them from time to time in these message.
