o o France's Future as Colonial Power May Hinge on Morocco By CHARLES M- McCANN Uniled Press Correspondent France's whole future as a great colonial power may lie in Morocco. It has all but lost out in Indo china. It must hold its North African pos sessions Mo rocco, Algeria and Tunisia or face the loss of its position as a world power. Moroc co is the key to all three. The success or failure of Premier Edgar ciuu-ie mcuiio f aure s pres ent desperate attempt to work out a complicated solution of the Morocco crisis is now being de termined. Faure may well fall if he fails French premiers are expendable, but if he falls it will be up to his successor, or one of his succes sors, to try to hold Morocco and its sister areas by force of arms or by political persuasion.

It extends from the Atlantic ocean to the burning sands of the Sahara Desert. France's stake in its 158,000 square miles is enormous. It is almost forgotten now that Moroccan resistance to foreign rule nearly caused the prema ture outbreak of World War I, and that it did lead indirectly to the overthrow of King Al fonso XIII of Spain. Morocco's history goes back more than 1000 years before Christ, when its coast was dot ted with Phoenecian villages. Next came the-Carthagenians. Augustus Caesar made it the Roman province of Mauretania. Arab Status Morocco's status as an Arab country dates back to 682 when the Arabians started invading it from the east. Out of this gred the Moorish Empire which extended across North Africa to the Egyptian frontier. The Arabs were so powerful then that , they managed . to in vade Spain and establish them selves in it. Later their pirati cal sea rovers ranged as far as the English coast. Morocco's present status dates from the turn of the century when France, Britain and Ger many became interested in it. France won out. Rebellion Against France But there was a rebellion, one of many, against France in 1911. Germany took ' advantage of it to send its gunboat Panther to Agadir, and toyed with the idea of intervention. German Foreign Minister Alfred von Kiderlin- Waechter was ready to go to war. Kaiser Wilhelm II and Chan cellor Theobald von Bethmann Hollweg opposed him. David Lloyd George settled that mat ter when he announced that Britain would go to war beside France if necessary. Then, after World War I, came the great revolt of Abdel Krim in Spanish Morocco. The Span ish Army, was routed. Spain and France together defeated Abdel Krim. But the revolt was, the beginning of the end for King Alfonso. 1 FT. KELVIN $T1 And Old Refrigerator II In TKe Day's News By FRANK JENKINS A few days ago, a fabulously interesting educational experi ment was announced: Its pur pose is to locate young men and young women of HIGH APTI TUDE and enable them to go to college regardless of their finan cial means. Under this program, at least 200 of next June's cream-of-the-crop high school and prep school students will be given four-year college scholarships. The schol arships will be given to winners of a nationwide competition, re gardless of their financial means. The AMOUNTS, of the scholar ships will range from a token $100-a-year to those students who do not need financial help to FULL TUITION AND LIV ING COSTS for four years. THE purpose of it? It is to find and train LEAD ERS for the United States of America. It is prompted by the belief that too much leadership material is going to waste in our country because too many young people who have the necessary qualifications are unable to go to college to get the training they need to become leaders in industry, science and Ngovern ment. That is the story in a nutshell. VlfHERE is the money to come from? The program is to be financed at the start by $20,500,000 pro vided by the Ford Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation of New York. Our . great corpora tions arid bur very ' wealthy in dividuals will be encouraged to contribute to the fund in order to keep the program going. WHAT is it the Good Book ' says? You - will find it in Matthew (19:24): "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." THOSE are rough words. But - we must consider the times and the circumstances in which they were spoken. There came to Jesus (it was on the coasts of Judea, which are still troubled by man's inhumanity to man) a young man who had kept all the conventions.. He hadn't murder ed anybody. He hadn't lied. He hadn't stolen. " He said to. Jesus: -"What lack I yet?" Matthew tells us that Jesus said to him: "If thou wilt be. perfect, go and sell that thou hast and give to the poor." As Matthew relates it, when the young man heard that he went ATOR MONEY DOWN 30 (2) Month 112 South sorrowful, for. he had and he was any part of possessions to give up THAT was nearly 20 centuries ago. Twenty centuries" ago. rich men were apt to be a rug ged lot. It was seldom indeed that they EARNED their wealth, in the sense that we think today of the earning of wealth that is to say, by using their talents for management and money making in the creation of enter prises that add to the comfort and the happiness and the wel fare of EVERYBODY. More often than not, they got their possesions by the use of the strong right arm in taking it away from somebody else by force. As for giving any of it away well, they just didn't do it. If anyone had suggested such a thing, they would have laugh ed him to scorn. Or, more likely, they - would have had him thrown into the bottom cell of the dungeon. Reading in the history books of the rich men of 20 centuries ago, it isn't hard to believe that it would have been easier tor a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for any of them to give anything away for the ben efit of the common run of the people of their day. ANYWAY This program to enable the young men and young women of high aptitude to go to college and become leaders in the world of today, regardless of their fi nancial . means, is started off with money GIVEN AWAY by two modern men of great wealth Henry Ford and Andrew Car negie. It is expected to be added to by contributions from other men of great wealth. I think it can be said truth fully that the world is getting better. , Couple Trying to Escape City Life Now Not Sure Euless, Tex. (U.R) Mr. "and Mrs. A. C.

Is That So? Supposedly, the wisdom of our forefathers reposes in tneir wise sayings. To test one of these, here's another fact vs. fallacy: Fallacv: Old Saw "As use less as a last year's bird's nest."

So a nest may serve a crow the first year, a hawk the second, and a great horned owl the third. As for subleasing, a wood pecker's sublessee list is per haps the most imposing. Take the gila woodpecker and gilded flickers of Southern Arizona. These birds hollow out nest cav ities in the cactus trunks of the saguara and these in turn be come the abode of the elf owl, pigmy owl,' scheech owl, spar row hawk, ash-throated fly catcher, martin, crested fly catcher, cactus wren, and Lucy's warbler. Besides they have been the homes of scaly lizards, snakes, rats and mice. When snows blow, the tiny deer- mouse - family may often be found safely tucked into a discarded red-winged black bird's nest. In northern woods, tree swallows, house wrens, bluebirds and woodmice. quite frequently take up their abode in woodpecker's hewed-out cav ity. And to this list, add squir rels. lAs for man's two' uses of old nests, in the Far East myriads of tiny swiftlets make nests en tirely, from the secretion of their salivary glands. This material is almost 50 per cent protein. Once the nest has served its pur pose, it is gathered, washed, and dried for the trade and a luc rative trade, the price often ex ceeding $25 h pound. The second use is eiderdown. This comes from eider ducks. In the far north, this bird grows a special nuptial down which it plucks from its breast to line the nest. Extremely light, elas-. tic and an excellent nonconduc tor of heat, this material is har vested when the bird first lines her nest with it and also when the nest is abandoned, each nest yielding perhaps an ounce of the precious down.

WAINSCOTT'S PHARMACY 322 East Main - Phone 2-6440 Planners Say Shrub, Tree Proposal Would Encourage A proposed city ordinance con cerning trees and shrubbery. which was recommended to the" city council for passage by the city planning commission this week, would tend to increase the number of shade trees in Med ford,' planning commission members said today. V The ordinance', a "model" one prepared by the bureau of mu nicipal research and service at the University of Oregon in co operation with the League of Oregon Cities, aims at the beau tification of Oregon's municipal ities, they pointed out. The city . planners, . in discus sions leading up to their rec ommendation, have pointed out that trees ; and shrubbery add greatly to the looks of every town, and they feel the plant ing of trees should be encour aged, not discouraged. Would Serve Better One reason for recommending the proposed .ordinance; they said, ,was because existing city regulations - prohibit planting of trees in parking strips. The proposed ordinance would also serve the purpose of protecting sidewalks, streets and sewers from damage by tree roots bet ter than does the simple ban on trees, they pointed out, by des ignating which trees are danger ous to utilities when planted in parking strips, and by providing that trees which become nui sances can be, removed. It was also pointed out that FHA ' regulations encourage the planting of trees because they, increase property Values. The proposed ordinance provides rules for. the planting of trees in parking strips only, and not elsewhere on private property except for varieties which might on FALL CLEAN FIX-UP NEEDS! f Now's the time to shopand SAVE on ALL of the many clean-up, fix-up items you'll want and NEED to get YOUR home in shape for the BIG holiday season just ahead!
