MANAGE DRIVES Another record-breaking atten dance wuh recorded nt the Chamber of Commerce forum luncheon at the Medford Hotel yesterday. Coming as it did Immediately following the meeting held last week, which was the second largest in the history of forum lunches, it showed that the subject under discussion was one in which citizens were intensely inter ested. What attitude should Medford citi zens take on future demands for funds? Mayor C. K. (lutes who pre sided, made it very clear in the be ginning that Medford was obligated to certain charities of her own and that demands were about to be made upon the community for funds, which In the name of humanity she cuuld not very, well turn down. Among those who were called upon to express their opinion' were T. K. Daniels, Frank V. Farrell, llev. Leach und E. II. Hurd, who all expressed themselves as being favorable to :i community chest as the only solution of tho question at 'issue, and which would do away with a succession oi drives and campaigns for funds. ' A recommendation was adopted, which called for organizing ii Med ford Community Chest with an execu- ! tive committee of from five to seven members to bo appelated by C. K. Gates as mayor and H. I. Walther as president of the .Medford Chamber of Commerce, which executive com mi t- o would have complete charge of a campaign for funds aud tho distribu tion of sume for the year lUlM. It will be tho first duty of this executive committee to carefully con sider all 'demands, which are to' he made upon Medford citizens for funds and after this has been decided, no drives or campaigns calling for funds for any purpose whatsoever will be sanctioned. For fear that Mayor dates and President Walther will be too modest to appoint themselves on this execu tive committee, there was a unani mous demand upon them that they serve as members of tho committee. Among the out of town guests were Col.- W. H. Paine, retired, Samuel P. Hand of Newton, Kansas, T. H. Ness and Rev.' J. A. Smith of San Fran cisco. James 15. and Mrs. Grieve of Prospect nnd W. II.
