I FOUR MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Speaker Explains UNESCO At Meeting of UN Chapter "Few things in the world today provide hope for peace-and the United Nations may be one," said De Wayne Johnson in speaking for the Medford chapter, Oregon United Nations asso ciation, Thursday night. Mr. Johnson, on the faculty of Southern Oregon college, is doing research on United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, known as UNESCO, as the basis of a doctoral thesis The speaker quoted from the preamble to the UNESCO con stitution which says that "since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be con structed." Mr. Johnson outlined briefly the history of UNESCO, and said that a "decalog" of purposes was drawn up in 1951 at the fifth session- of the general confer ence in Florence, Italy. The 10 purposes of UNESCO are: to eliminate illiteracy and encour age fundamental education; to obtain for each person an educa tion conforming to his aptitude and to the needs of society in cluding technological training and higher education; to promote through' education increased re spect toi human rights through out all nations; to overcome the obstacles to the free flow of per xnns. ideas and knowledge be tween the countries of the world; ( to promote the progress ana utilization of science for man kind; to study the causes of ten sions that may lead to war and to fight them through education; to demonstrate world cultural interdependence; to advance through the press, radio and mo tion pictures the cause of truth, , freedom and peace; to bring about better understanding among peoples of the world and to convince them of the necessity of cooperating loyalty with one another in the framework of the United Nations; to render clear inghouse and exchange services in all its fields of action, together with services of reconstruction and relief assistance. - Mr. Johnson said that there is an adverse current of opinion forming against the United Na tions, and particularly UNESCO and said the source of this seems c to spring from the same sources as the criticism directed against schools and universities in recent years. He declared that in some instances, groups have been formed with the specific purpose of sabotaging UNESCO. Some of the criticism comes from' ".honest citizens" and some from groups and individuals who. are definitely subversive, he added. The speaker pointed out that those who favor UN- and its agencies realize that war pro vides no solution to the world's . ills and that they are endeavor ing to work out laws and solu tions which recognize human I PORTRAITS Keep Your Family mm And what a wonderful way to tell your family story to relatives far away I - " v Make an appointment for someone in 40 SOUTH CENTRAL nature as it is, and not as we would like it to be. - . UNESCO is not striving for world government, he declared, and added' that if the UN could find a method whereby disagree ments could be comprised, a great step forward would have been made. ' The chief complaint against UNESCO from abroad seems to be that it is impractical, he said, and added that some of the prac tical programs ' of the agency were the student exchange pro gram, the exchange of art ex hibits and works, and providing specialists and technical assist ance to underprivileged nations. He added that "UNESCO has done a poor job of explaining itself." Answering those who charge that loyalty to the UN will un dermine loyalty to this nation, the speaker said it was a case of "pyramided loyalties" and ex plained that no thinking person believed sthat loyalty to home undermined loyalty to church or God, or that loyalty to one's city meant less loyalty to the state, or loyalty to the state less loyalty to the nation. He concluded by saying that permanent peace would have to be built on an intellectual and moral basis. The president, Bruce Manley, conducted the meeting and re minded those present of the com ing visit of Dr. Surindar Suri of India who will fill several speak in? engagements in southern Oregon, March 1 and 2. ... .

February 13, 1955 Lady Lions Hear History At Dinner A , resume of the Medford Lady Lions club organization was given Tuesday evening by a former officer of , the group during an annual dinner given by, the auxiliary to honor Med ford firemen. The event is held in appreciation of the work done by the firemen in connection with the annual toy project at Christ mas time when firemen repair toys for needy children of the vicinity. Members of the Lady Lions distribute the gifts. Mrs. Addie Wilson,. a charter member of the Medford Lady Lions, told the group that in the spring of 1926 soon after the men's club was organized a few of the wives organized their own group to meet while their hus; bands were at Lions club meetings.

Colored moving pic tures taken during Christmas projects were shown by Charles Hobbs, one of the firemen. The pictures were made in sequence form showing first a car load of broken and discarded toys being unloaded by a fireman, later showing the repair and packag ing, and then scenes at the dis tribution center when Lady Lions and their husbands assem bled the toys for distribution to the needy children. Games were played and guests for the evening were Mrs. Ad dison Robinson, Mrs. .' George Gilham, Mrs. H. Christopherson, Mrs. Anton Lausman, and Mrs. Earl McQuigg.

At that time Sa cred Hdarts average patient load was about 20 persons a day now it is a 75-bed hospital and it is almost always in full use. Only two floors were in use in those early days, but during the terrible influenza epidemic of 1919, the third floor was or ened for use. . In. an interview Saturday morning Sister Mary Norbert re called such highlights of her ca reer as the time Bear Creek over flowed its banks, driving many families from their homes. By morning some 40 refugees "had arrived at the hospital, hunting a place to sleep and warm food. She remembered the Feurth of July in 1927 when she and Dr. W. W. P. Holt, Medford physi cian, delivered triplets born to Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Damon. One of the infants did not survive, but two lived, she recalled. Many of Sister Mary Norbert's friends are men and woman who were born at the hospital. Among these are the children of Dr. and Mrs." R. W. Clancy and the late Dr. R. J, Conroy and Mrs. Con roy who "were all born at Sacred Heart hospital, she recalled. Sister Mary Norbert, born in Rutland, Vt., is a member of the Sisters of Charity of Providence.
