G o 0 O o Glass of 1908 Holds Reunion ere Nine members of the 1908 graduating class of Medford High school held a 50th anni versary reunion May 24 at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Samuel D. Earhart, 11 North Peach street. Seventeen stu dents made up the class, but five were unable to attend, and three are no longer liv ing. Six still live in Medford. Attending the reunion were Mrs. Raymond Caufir (Ruth Merrick) Oregon City; Mrs. Lawrence Horton (Anne Hansen, Klamath Falls; Mrs. Mabel Wilson Morrow, Port land; Miss Fannie Whitman, Mrs. Elmer E. Wilson (Myrtle Riley), Mrs. H. D. Powell (Blanche Wood), Mrs. H. A. Stanley (Gladys Curry), Fred Strang and Dr. Earhart, all Medford. Unable to attend the event were Herbert Kentner, Mrs. , Kentner, the former Alice Streets, Cfcla re Wines Thorn ton, Cecil Boswell Horning and Faye Burchell Magerle. Deceased are Treve Lums- den, Percy Cochran and Earl Minear. Guests for the reunion were Miss Beulah Warner, Med ford, who was principal of Medford High school in 1908, Miss Jane Snedicor and her brother, Frederick Snedicor, who were members of the faculty, and Mrs. H. U. Lums den, mother of Treve Lums den. The class of 1908 was the first to attend Washington school, which stood where the Jackson county courthouse now stands, and which .had been built to replace a struc ture destroyed by fire. The members also were the last class to graduate from the same school, since the follow ing year a high school was built on North Bartlett street where a Safeway store now stands. It.in tdrn was replaced by the present structure on South Oakdale avenue. It is of interest to note that Mrs. Powell's three children and one of her grandchildren have graduated from Medford High school. Mr. Strang's two children both were graduated from the same school, and Mrs. Stanley's two sons are also alumni of the school. Of the 17 members in the class, .Miss Whitman, Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Powell, Mrs. Stanley, Mr. Strang, Dr. Ear hart, Mrs. Morrow and the late Treve Lumsden were all born in Medford. Some were born in homes located in a section which is now the heart of the city's business district. The group enjoyed a buffet dinner and then lingered late to talk of olden days and to look at pictures taken many years ago. Others present for the din ner were Dr. Earhart's wife, who was hostess for the eve ning, Mr. Caufield, Mr. Hor ton, Mrs. Strang and Mrs. James A. Grigsby, the latter having accompanied Mrs. Lumsden, her aunt. When nine members of the 1908 gradu ating class of 'Medford High School held a reunion here May 24, two of their teachers attended the dinner. They were Miss Jane Snedicor and her brother, Frederick Snedi cor, who still make their home in this city. Pictured here are (left to right, seated) Mrs. Elmer E.

Spring Cleaning 77n?e fo Clean Up o Home Safety Hazards ' Lincoln, Nfeb. OR Spring cleaning is a time to clean up safety hazards, says a Univer sity of Nebraska safety spe cialist.

Portland More than four per cent of all grade school children tested in Oregon tire j found to have some actual or potential hearing problem re quiring medical attention. To help focus public atten tion on this problem, the Port land Center for Hearing and Speech, the Oregon Board of Health and numerous local health departments are now participating in Better Hear ing month. Many adults trace their ear troubles back to childhood days, according to the hear ing month sponsors. A large number of hearing defects are preventable. To safeguard to morrow's adults, parents are urged to follow these general recommendations: , 1. Any running ear is dan gerous to a child's health and may cause much destruction of the hearing. Take the child to your doctor at once. 2. Frequent colds and snif fles often affect the hearing, so keep the child's health at its best. If he does have a cold, take care of him at once don't let it drag on. Find out what causes frequent colds. .If there is an earache or if one or both ears "close up" during a cold, consult your doctor immediately. 3. Inflamed, swollen ade noids may cause middle ear abscesses by closing the tube between the ear and the throat. Middle ear infection will produce a hearing loss which may not disappear en tirely when the infection is cured. 4. Contagious diseases like scarlet fever, measles, diphtheria, mumps and whooping cough often are the cause of ear trouble for many children, especially the young ones. Take advantage of protective "shots". Watch your child for signs of ear ache and discharge during and after the disease. Consult your doctor at the first evi dence or suggestion of ear trouble. Much permanent loss of hearing can be prevented through prompt action. 5. Foreign objects in chil dren's ears may cause a hear ing loss and lead to infection. They should be removed promptly by a physician. 6. Soft wax in the ear is normal. If wax becomes had and packed in the ear canal, a physician should be con sulted. 7. If a child blows his'nose hard or with one or both nos trils partly closed, especially during a cold, the risk of ear infection is greatly increased. 8. It is dangerous for chil dren, and parents too, to "poke" or put objects into the ears. 9. A child who is subject to ear trouble or who has a hole in the ear drum should obtain a physician's approval before swimming. 10. A child will not "out grow" his hearing loss. The loss usually remains but the child's attention improves. The hearing of "many children gets worse. , 11. Explaining a child's re peated failure to hear by say ing "he hears .when he wants to", or by saying, "he just doesn't pay attention" is a poor excuse for not obtaining prompt medical treatment.
