Zoning Group
Doubles Time
For the next three weeks
at least, and maybe longer, the
zoning committee of .the city
planning and zoning commis
sion will work double time on
the new zoning code.
At meeting last night the
committee . decided to meet
Wednesday and Thursday
nights of each week Instead of
only on Thursday nights as It
has been doing for the last two
years.
. The twice-a-week meetings
will continue until the code
is completed and all corrections
made.After that will come pub
lic hearings in various parts of
the city, and these will be fol
lowed by hearings before the
city council.
Members of the zoning com
mittee, who have changed the
code to meet conditions in I
city that has doubled in popu
lation since the commission was
formed 2 5 years ago, are
Robert Stanley, chairman,
Robert Powell, V. D. McMul
len, City Attorney Chris J.
Kowitz and City Engineer J. H.
Davis. The committee has had
the assistance of two real

If it weren't for Guinane's bal
loons. United Nations artillery
might miss its mark by half a
mile.
"That's how much difference
It makes," says Guiane. "A
155mm gun, for instance, throws
i a saell that goes eight miles
high. By the time it lands a little
bit of wind can make a lot of
difference."
Guinane's lob is to find out
how much wind there is, where
it is, and which way it is blow
ing. He does it by watching his
balloons as they rise in the air
and reports it to the men who
shoot the guns.
"The color of the balloon de
pends on the color of the sky,"
he said. "Today it's white and
cloudy, so we use a black bal

He walked to an open tent

goes by but that one to 10 home
service cases are processed in
the local Red Cross office, mak
ing it the most expensive of all
programs, Manager Frank Par
cher estimates.
Last year, the local chapter's
home service processed 1,374
cases, spending $5,817 in finan
cial assistance. To continue its
work here, and in other parts
kf the world. Red Cross home
service depends on the finan
cial support now being asked
during the month-long campaign
lor lunds.
Basically, home service is that
portion of the Red Cross pro
gram devoted to helping mem
bers of the armed forces and
their families. It offers coun
selling in personal and family
problems; it assists servicemen
and their dependents by provid
ing reports end social histories
needed by the military; it offers
guidance concerning direct com
munication between servicemen
and dependents: and, it trans
mits Information through Red
Cross channels when direct com'
munication will not work.
Nearly every day, Mrs. Helen
Bailey, home service director for
Marion count Red Cross chap
ter, battles against time and red
tane to set a serviceman nome
in time to see a seriously iu
member of his family.
The need for "going through
channels" when dealing with
any of the armed services is one
reason Mrs. Bailey urges serv
icemen's families to see the Red
Cross first when necessary to get
in touch with a son or husband
away from home.
"We're used to finding serv
icemen out of contact with fam
ilies. Just last week we were
asked to locate a boy who had
not been heard from since 1951."
To work effectively at locat
ing and bringing together serv
icemen and their families, the
Red Cross home service program
must work not only through Red
Cross offices in this country and
overseas, but through military
authorities as well.
The scope of the home service
program is hard to explain, Mrs.
Bailey says, but some under
standing of its size can be gained
by looking at facts and figures:
In the Far East alone Red
Cross has a staff of 400 experi
enced field workers helping
fighting men in Korea and Ja
pan. In Europe, 200 workers
provide thousands of services
needed by servicemen and their
dependents. In the United States,
Red Cross has a field staff of
1,970 workers at 186 military in
stallations, 95 military hospitals
and 76 veterans administration
offices. In Red Cross chapter
offices from Maine of Oregon,
14,600 home service workers,
such as Mrs. Bailey, counsel and
assist thousands of servicemen,
veterans and their families each
month.
