National Guard
Officer Speaks
For Local Club
" Major Forrest D. 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.

Members Added. .
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. .. :.
