Edna Bottom of High School Second
Prize Chest Essay in Group Three
The following es;.y by Edna llnt
tom of .Men) ford high school, won
' Koeond prise in group three of tho
' Community Chest contest:
Why Ono in Medl'md Should Con
; tribute to tho Cniiiimiuity ( host,
j A popular topic of conversation
i In Medford at the present tinw if
I that of tho Community t'heit and
i why one should contribute toward
! it. fc-'ome people recognize it ne
cessity, but others Hesitate about
nivini; their money to something
they do not thoroughly understan .1.
Under such eireum.stuncen ii is
probably advisable to explain the
merits of this drive before trying
to persut.de tho public to contrib
ute toward it.
First, It should be clearly under
stood what the Community Chest
is. It In an organised effort of u
city to collect and distribute money
for welfare. Medford is not
perfmentfnn on a new project when
they attempt this because the Com
munity Chest Is a proved success.
It is of interest to know a little
of the chest's history. The idea
was started about 12 years ago
during the World war by 14 of tho
largest cities of the United States.
Now 330 cities in the United Slates
have adopted this plan. Out of
81 cities with a population of 100,
000 or over, there are 70 that have.
Community Chests.
The United States Is not alone in
having this plan as a means of
providing for the needy. Foreign
cities having n Community Cho3t
are Winnipeg, Toronto, Quebec and
London In Canada: Cape Town,
Africa, and Honolulu. This city
raised 5458.000 In their last chest.
The drive in Medford is sched
uled to be from November 12th ;o
16th. M. M. Ilogan Is chairman
of the committee in Medford. A.
B. Sanders of Portland is to assist
In oreaniKlng the plan. Other mom
lers of the committee are Wm.
Rolgcr, Chas. Wing and J. Collins.
The plan is to divide the" city into
four divisions. The, American L.e
gon and four clubs will have
charge of collecting the contribu
tions, each club covering one dis
trict. It will probably be operated
on a competitive basis and reports
of the results will bo published.
This will create enthusiasm and
add interest to the drive. Think
of the fun it's going to be helping
your district to be the largest con
tributor. It is simply a game th.it
everyone In Medford cin play, and
If you don't do your part you're
going to be on the losing side.
Seven organizations .wiU benefit
by the -Community Chest the Red
Cross, 13oy Scouts,, fiirl feoouts. Sal
vation Army, Y. W.. C. A., health
unit and the Humane society.
Bveryone is acquainted, with all of
these, organizations n,nrt know thnt
.the money ;rwilli bewe,ll spent by
putting It in their hands. " J
EAGLE POINT VET
SUES 10 COLLECT
The suit of A. J. (Jack) Florey
of Eagle Point against the govern
ment for collection of $10,000 war
risk Insurance will be called In
federal cdurt at Portland next
Tuesday, November 19. This will
be the second hearing of the case.
A year ago the suit was dismissed.
Florey lias been disabled and in
bad condition since his return from
the service nnd receives $75 per
month. In the suit ho asked for
SI SO.
According to friends nnd rein
tlves, a division of opinion between
doctors exists. Klorey, they say,
has been advised to have an opera
tion on his kidneys, and also been
advised that if he had an operation
he would not survive. It Is ex
pected thnt medical testimony will
have a part in the pen dine suit.
Florey Is now in Portland. Ho

TO HAVE FOOD SALE
FIRM.VIKW. Ore.. Nov. 1 ...-
(Special.) The memlMrs of the
Tpper Valley Community club held
their regulnr monthly meeting in
the club rooms on Wednesday
afternoon, November 13. After the
business meeting Mrs. Norma
Ileeder gave B very interesting talk
on ' Individual Instruction." At the
close of the afternoon Mrs. Fred
Homo, nnd Mrs. A. C Joy served
refreshment.
Katurdry the ladle of the club
are sponsoring a food sale at Har
dy Urn.' grocery store.
On Friday the club memlers are
having a pet-ucqualnted party ft:
the club house. A short program
has been arranged, including
Itftmcs and refreshment.
There are several outstanding
benefits to be derived by collecting
the money for all of these organis
ations at the same time. They are:
1. It saves expenses. It costs
money to put on these drives, and
heretofore these organisations have
each had a separate drive, making
it necessary to collect more money
in order to have any left for wel
fure work.
2. It saves time. The budget for
all purposes U collected In five
days.
3. It saves effort. One call and
a city -wide canvns is all that is re
tired, ltefore. the thing was be
ing overdone In Medford. The peo.
pie are tired of being asked f'ir
money seven times, and as n result,
refuse to contribute anything.
4. The plan Insures Justice. A
careful study of the worth of each
ugency and a careful check of its
financial needs insures a stimire
deal to agencies and the contribut
ing public.
6. It is businesslike. Its eco
nomical management and accurate
auditing of accounts Instead of hap
hazard records of expenditures is
fur more efficient.
I think this information should
convince everyone that the chest
Is worth while because everyone
benefits by It. Those who con
tribute as ve as those who re
ceive. There has to be some type of
welfare society In every city, and
it is up to the people to adopt the
most efficient and economical plan.
Therefore tho Community- Chest
should be adopted nnd contributed
toward.
There are many people in Med
ford now needing financial help,
and as 1t gets later in the season
tho need. Invariably increases.
As this is the firsi'time Medford
has had a 'Community Ohest, It
has set its goal at just $1!0,000; a
small sum for a city or this size.
This has been nn exceptionally
good year for Medford financially:
in fact, this very statement is be
ing used as n means of advertise
ment to boost Medford and attract
people. Do, you .think ,if we fail
to raise the small sum of $20,000
we can continue to say Medford is
prosperous? Can we continue to
say, "This is a Creat Country." if
we cannot raise a welfare fund 7
Medford is progressing rapidly In
every way, but it is necessary for
those who have - means to share
with the others in order to continue
being progressive.
IMedford has everything needed
to make this campaign a' success;
all that remains to be' had is the
support of everyone in Medford.
We should i.tl realise the necessity
of this drive and help Medford to
SOaver 100 per cent. . .

CURRENT TALKIE
Rare, enjoyable entertainment
chuck full of hum lis which come
j so fasi at times that part of the
dialogue is missed, is the tAlklng
i comedy-drama, "They Mad to foe
! Paris,"' in which- that best known
personality in the i'nited States,
i Will Rogers, the homely, braftiy
I humorist and philosopher who in
; addition to his stage t.tnl screen
entertaining talent, convulses the
' nt will. u'ln.. itAii,. mo
ments on current affair In many
newspapers, including the Mail
Tribune, is the star.
Tliis meritorious attraction open
ed its three days' eugiiKement at
the Fox Craterian theater yester
day und will be seen every after
noon and night until Sunday.
"They Una to See Paris," is the
story about an ordinary American
family which becomes rich over
night. Tho m6ther and daughter
a re a m b i t i ou s to r hoc in 1 p rest I g e
nnd to capture a foreign title, while
the father, plr.yed by Rogers, a ga
rage owner and former horse doc
tor, and bitter opponent of culture
nnd style, never loses his common
sense and delightful social crude-
i ness, and opposes these nmbitio'is
until finally the others wake out
of their dream through n visit to
Paris. ;
The dialogue is filled with char
acteristic, humorous topi grams and
sayings uttered by Rogers in his
delightful drawand quiet, natural
manner, mid laughable situations.
In fact, his personality and man
nerisms are such that he ,h:is long
been known on stage, screen and
otherwise, for just acting out him
self. , One of hi many lion mots in
this picture is, "A horse doctor has
to have brains, for tho horse can
not tell him where It hurts, and
he must know." Others nre:
"There's one crop that never falls,
that's the fool crop"; and to show
his distaste of a caviar sandwich,
"When it comes to eating eggs, you
can't improve on the old hen":
"Look at all these rich men's suns;
you could shoot half of them and
nobody would miss 'em but a bunch
of chorus girls."
Rut while Will Rogers is tho
"whole show," he lias an excellent
and large supporting company, with
Irene Rich, as the mother; Mar
guerite Churchill, as the daughter:
Owen Davis, Jr., as the son; Fifl
Dorsay o.s the vivacious semlrvamp
French girl; Theodore I.odi, as the
Rusir.n grand duke; and Ivan Leb
edeff, as the intriguing French
marquis, who seeks the daughter's
hand in marrkige. A number of
well-known screen actors play
minor parts. ,
Outside of the ppening scene, in
a small town In Oklnhoma,. the
main part of the story takes place
In Paris.
While there nre mtiny hearty
laughs, practically a procession of
them all through "They J lad to See
Paris," probably the most laugh -r.ble
scenes are those between Rg-j
ers as "Pike Peters," the rich'
American garage owner, hater of
dress suits nnd all society customs,
in his underclothing und a dress
ing gown, and the bored grand
duke r.t a reception the wlf and
family nre giving in their lease!
French chateau, and their sudden
ly acquired strnnge friendship on
the grand marble stairway.
Hut the Rogers talking comedy
does mt furnish all the entertain
ment on the program, for there is
a short film song novelty, "Ye Old
Melodies," and n Fox movietone
news with mnny interesting scones
Including one of the bears In Yo
semite national park, In which one
of the men in national park uni
form strongly resembles former
Superintendent C. (. Thomson of
Crater National park and now sup
erintendent of Yosemite.
