Miss Victoria Taverner, who
lives in Ashland, often brings
interesting personalities and
entertaining lecturers and
world travelers to the mem
bers of the. domiciliary.
Resourceful and enthused
in her work, she continues to
persuade her friends in the
field of education; letters, and
science to come and give an
hour out of their lives, to the
men at White City.
Recently she brought Dr,
Wayne Wells, a retired South
ern Oregon Professor, who
gave a travelogue on Africa
- where he traveled extensive
ly for two years, personally
taking the colored slides
which were shown by him at
the station theatre.
He planned on the trip for
three years, and his slides
were devoted to large ani
mals, colorful life, and excit
ing scenes in wild and bound
less spaces. Yet his financial
outlay for the ocean voyage
cost of pictures, and land
travel amounted to only ?3,
5'00, he said.
Up rivers, and over deserts,
the most outstanding surprise
to Dr. Wells, was to find, the
very modern cities they have
in Africa.
From Capetown in the
south, he journeyed up
through the east central part
and down the Nile to Cairo,
using up nine months in 1958,
on this trip alone. Taking pic
tures of many modern cities
of Africa, and all the while
using a "projector" that the
students of Ashland gave him,
when he retired. i . :.
For 32 years, he was head
of the Science department of
Southern Oregon college.. '
To make his adventure com
plete, when he left. America
for Africa, he engaged pas:
sage on a freighter. With cam
era, and 12 other passengers
he sailed 22 days from New
Orleans to Capetown. ,
The slides he brought 'back
were shown to a big crowd
of members and visitors. Of
ten exclamations of surprise
were heard in the darkened
theatre, when the professor
inserted snowy scenes he took
at Kilimanjaro - a mountain
made famous by Ernest Hem
ingway.
tjoaung on the Nile, were
also exciting events captured
m Alrica by Dr. Wells.
Bin ine "camel sales," in
modern cities, on picturesque
hills, brought wonder to his
audience. "I don't know," he
explained, "I should have got
the price of those camels, but
i man t."
January Record Set

$1,362,279. The previous high

new . homes having -a' total
value of $159,500, and starts
on two new business buildings

adopted a reproving tone
about the medical profession
and t.ien later said "we owe a
lot to the doctors." He said
that because of the doctors
and science, "we are living
longer, but if this keeps up,
what are we going to live on?"
The judge spoke briefly of
inflation and the national debt
and said "if money is worth
less and less and less, soon it
will be worthless."
The judge predicted that
the time is not far off when
residents of this planet will
have colonies on others, and
that "mothers will mail little
notes to daughters and nieces
on Mars." He also said "man
has learned to fly in the air
like a bird, swim in the sea
like a fish, why can't he learn
how to live on the earth in
peace with his fellow man?"
The judge, of whom it has
been said he is part preacher
and part tobacco auctioneer,
entertained his audience with
reeling off such things as a
score of automobile names
alphabetically, with machine
gun rapidity.
Jack Edson, vice president
of the club, introduced the
speaker, Mr. and Mrs. Carl
Herzog, new members, and a
large number of guests. He
announced that the next
speaker would be Dr. Carl
Munk of Reed college, on
March 9.
