Raw Dairy Products Lauded at Meeting The role of unpasteurized dairy products in human nutri tion was described by Mrs. F. F. James, Grants Pass, at the May meeting of the Rogue River Jer sey Cattle club last Sunday. Mrs. James, who heads the Grants Pass Nutrition Study group, declared that unpasteur ized butter has been proven most effective in making the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, available for bodily use, and that vitamin C, calcium and phosphorus and the valuble anti- arthritic factor which exists in raw milk and cream are either materially damaged or destroyed by the pasteurization process. One outcome of the nutrition study group in 'Grants Pass to date, the speaker asserted, has been a marked increase in the demand for good raw milk and cream in the area. The meeting, which was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs Frank Schutzwohl. west of Grants Pass, was preceded by a no-host noon luncheon.

Burmese Tells Rotary Club of Traditions, History of Nation Burma, a land which has faced turmoil and warfare since the 11th century, is today a free, democratic nation whose self sufficient people are building new sound economy without American dollars. This encouraging picture of the little far-east country was given to members of the Med ford Rotary club Tuesday by Maung Thein Nyun of Rangoon, Burma, now visiting in the Rogue River Valley under the In ternational Farm Youth Ex change. Tells History The young Burmese, with an other exchangee, Ko-Tan-O, were guests of Rotarians at their luncheon meeting at the Jackson hotel. Maung Thein Nyun's ad dress included the history of his strategically located country, ap proximately the size of Texas, and described the customs of the 19,000,000 Burmese people. Burma, he said, is today an in dependent republic with acon stitution similar to the U. S., a president and prime minister, two parliament houses and a de termination to be self-sustaining. Freedom of the press and speech are important rights enjoyed by the nation which figured so prominently in World War II far-east conflict. The history of Burma under British rule, the sad results of Japanese collaboration starting in 1941, and eventual support given to Allied forces during the last war, was outlined by the speaker. Burmese people have long been freedom-loving, as in dicated by many notable events such as the students' uprising against the British in 1920. Today the people of the little na tion, mostly living in rural areas, enjoy free education to the uni versity level, free hospitals and equal rights for women. Maung Thein Nyun and Ko-Tan-O will become active in Bur mese Boy Scout activities upon returning to their native land. The scouts in Burma include in their activities those associated in the U.S. with 4-H work.
