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. Four
teen club members and the fol
lowing guests were present, in

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. Glenn
Klein, extension agent here in
charge of 4-H programming, in
troduced the speaker.

low-price cars in value as it does in performance.
When you see and drive a new Plymouth, you'll be surprised how
much like a high-price car it is in everything'except the low figure
on its price tag. And don't be fooled by the claims of
medium-price cars that they cost "practically the same" as Plymouth.
YouH find that, model for model, Plymouth costs as much at
$500 less, and gives you more car for your money !
