Important letters will be able to dis
charge them by seaplane 300 to 400
miles west ot the Irish coast; wttnin
a few hours they can be delivered In
London thus effecting a' saving ot
24 hours.
"The same procedure can 'be car

Important factor, for In fine and
settled weather a well-equipped sea
plane could travel at an enormous

NEED VOLUNTEERS TO
PAID aU VICTIMS
There are a number of families
stricken with Influenza In Medford
In which every member Is ill and
there Is no one around even to bring
a drink of water. Appeals have been
made for help to the Red Cross but
as yet Mrs. F. W, Mears, in charge
of Red Cross workers has been able
to secure no assistance. Tbe situa
tion in these families Is critical and
volunteers are urgently needed. If
assistance Is not forthcoming many
people will die, who If not compelled
to arise from their beds would sur
vive. Mrs. Mears asks that members
of the Red Cross ready to aid In this
important work communicate with
her at once, phone 686.-M. Volun
teers are not expected to act as
nurses but merely attend to the rou
tine duties ot any household in which
there is illness. Beginning Monday
volunteers may call Red Oross head
quarters. .
