Taft, train ing officer assigned to the local National Guard unit, and Mrs. Taft were guests of Medford Altrusa club at a dinner meeting held in the Mon Desir French room Thursday evening. Mrs. Bereth Hopltins and Mrs. Edna Mole were hostesses in charge of arrangements. Mrs. Edith Baker, interna tional relations chairman in charge of the program, intro duced Major Taft who showed colored pictures of Formosa to il lustrate his talk on the economic and military development of the island under the Chinese Na tionalist regeme. Major Taft served in Formosa in the U. S. millitary training mission for almost three years after a similar assignment in Greece. His talk was of the is land's history, people, reco.urces and importance in the Asiatic world. Mrs. Taft gave interest ing sides lights on the problems of raising their six small chil dren in a native house where the floor fell in because of termites and where there were no schoois. She taught their three school age children by the Calvert cor respondence method. Mao Tse-tung of Red China wants Formosa for two reasons, Major Taft stated, first for its rice and second because once having said he would take the island he must take it or lose face and his leadership of the people of Red China. Showing the methods and scope of raising of rice on the island by pictures, the officer said three crops of rice were raised each year, one crop being sufficient to feed the eight million inhabitants. The other two crops are avail able for exporting and would be invaluable to the hungry mil lions of Red China, he said. Formosa is important to the United States because of its geo graphical strategic position between Okinawa and the Phil lipines, long desired by the com munist forces, the Major said. Chiang Kai-shek does not want US soldiers to defend Formosa or to invade the mainland; he only wants the training mission of about three hundred experts he has now and the equipment with which to train them, the officer stated. Asked if Chiang's army was an aging one as often reported, Major Taft replied in "the negative. Besides the increas ing population of the Nationalist Chinese, two million when they came to Formosa, there are the six million Taiwanese, a very smart and energetic race and occupants of the island the last sixty years under the Japanese, he pointed out. There are also the Dutch, the Chinese and the Portugese, whose young men are enlisting in the Nationalist army and adding to its potential mil itary force he added. Contrary to rumors, these Tai wanese are not averse to the Chinese rule as they have been given a chance to own their own land for the first time in their history through the land reforms instituted by Chiang Kai-shek, the speaker said. Pictures of the training units showed the army well clothed and fed; young and healthy looking. Teaching them took time, patience and the con stant help of interpretors, the speaker concluded.

To Meeting of Mushroom Club Attendance at the last meet ing of Southern Oregon Mush room club, held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lawrence, Euclid avenue, was unusually large and a number of new members were added. Due to the increase in membership, the club is considering a change of meeting place. Object of this club is to study edible mushrooms; the organi zation is not concerned with the commercial cultivation of mush rooms. , It is pointed out that the study of edible fungi is not too far ad vanced in the United, States, compared with the achieve ments of the Europeans, and that that literature is scattered. Since different species of mushrooms have different fla vors, the club plans to compile recipes of, the many ways that the wild mushrooms may be prepared. .. :. 10 Phone 2-6428
