Brownell Urges That Rotary Not Lose Simple Goals A ple to keep Rotary simple and not to lose the fundamental goals of the half-century old or ganization was voiced by Rotary District Governqr Ambrose Brownell of Milwaukie, Ore., in a luncheon address here Tues day. Speaking at the Jackson hotel, the head of district 154 cited the growth of the Rotary movement in recent years, now extending through much of the world with 450,000 members in 10,000 clubs. Brownell arrived Monday to confer wtih C. Weldon Kline, president of the Medford Rotary club, William Caldwell, secre tary and other officials of the local organization. Tuesday night he met with directors and com mittee chairmen at the Rogue Valley Country club. Elements of Danger There is an element of danger in bigness, the district governor told Rotarians. That is true in fraternal organizations as in gov ernment and business. It is essen tial that the ideas of Rotary founder Paul Harris a half cen tury ago be kept alive and not lost in a sea of red tape and or ganizational details. The charge that America has contributed nothing new to the culture of the world might be answered by citing the growth of such organizations as Rotary International. It would be inter esting to speculate upon the course world affairs might have taken if such an order as Rotary, dedicated to fellowship, under standing and world peace, had been established in Europe a cen tury and a half ago, Brownell said. Discussing the1 world peace ef forts of Rotary with club offi cials here, Brownell pointed out that Rotary International has spent more than $2,000,000 dol lars in recent years to advance its foreign student fellowship programs. Since 1947, when the exchange student program was initiated, 834 fellowships have been awarded to students in 61 countries. The Medford Rotary club will participate in the pro gram this year.

SPECIALISTS IN HOMtWARCS I HIGHEST QUALITY FOR LOWEST PRICE Problem Facing j Prefab Industry Champaign.Ill. (U.R) Despite the need for good low-cost hous ing, the prefabricated home in dustry cannot become a major one until it solves internal prob lems and overcomes outside op position, according to a Neb raska economist. The views were expressed by Prof. Campbell R. McConnell of the University of Nebraska in a recent University of Illinois publication. Within the industry, McCon nell wrote, there has been failure to take full advantage of mass production methods. "A survey of 44 prefabricators reveals wide variation in the de gree of actual factory fabrication ranging from upwards of 90 per cent down to 30 per cent of con struction," he pointed out. McConnell cited competition from conventional builders, prob lems of financing prefabricated homes, opposition of labor unions, antiquated building codes and public skepticism as hampering development. Twelve large-scale prefabrica tors, reporting -on their season ality of production, indicated wider seasonal changes than the average for all types of home construction. Construction time on a pro posed site for half the prefab ricated houses is at least 36 days. Slowness in completing financial arrangements is often a cause for delay. "Despite all the difficulties, the industry may have a bright future, especially with a more than occasional helping hand from government," McConnell concluded. Maybe .cense Applicant Was Only Poor Speller Camden, N. J. Ol.EU Folks at the municipal clerk's office here still haven't decided wheth er a tavern owner, who recently applied for renewal of his li cense, was a poor speller or a hopeless egoist. On the line where he must answer the ques tion of whether he ever had been cited for violation of the state liquor laws, the applicant noted he once had been closed for 20 days for "immortal acts."
