CITY UNEMPLOYED
Throngs Find Burden Of Pro
viding Eased By Visit Ti
Old City Hall Institution
Many Finding Work.
(Br En Nealon Hamilton.)
"A merry Christmas to you" the
greeting dear to all Christian peoples,
wherever they walk through life,
echoed again and again through the
old elty hall Wednesday aiternoon
a throngs moved through the Wel
fare Exchange to obtain clothing and
gltts In return for their labor to
brighten the Yuletlde, which finds
them still members of the great army
of unemployed, or for other reasons
In need of the things that money
buys.
And something of the spirit of the
Ohrlst-chlld pervaded the old coun
cil chamber as women, with faces
no longer distressed, guided their
children through the busy aisles, and
dolls from homes of plenty were gath
ered Into eager arms, en route to
homes of the needy.
Many Garments Otven.
your hundred and fifty garmen
were passed over the counter during
the day, going Into homes where
warmth and respectatmllty would be
Impossible except for the opportune
ltles offered by the exchange. Two
hundred and seventeen had been
given out at 11 o'clock In the morn
ing and the total had passed the
490 mark brfore the shop closed, not
to be opened again until after Christ
mas, Miss Helen Carlton, director 01
the exchango, announced.
Script, Issued In the Welfare Ex
change as reward for work, on the
basis of 90 cents an hour; labor
checks, Issued by the Medford Asso
ciation of the Unemployed, and once
la a while nickels and dimes, were
In payment for articles received, all
of which are marked at such price
levels as one and two coats, up to
25 cents for coats and larger gar
ments.
It's Busy Place,
Five sewing machines hummed
steadily throughout the day a the
needy shopped In the exchange. Un-
'der the direction of Mrs. John Fluh'
rer and Mrs. Hoffman, who pre
sided In the sewing room, four quilts
were completed with 19 women on
the Job. Each quilt ha been spoken
for and will go into a home where
badly needed. Men'a old knickers
were made over Into little boys' trous
ers, women's cast-off coata were re
duced to very good looking girls'
coats, and hosts of toher prsctlcal
garments made by the women. There
were not chairs enough for all. so
the Jackson County Fair association
was called and sent over tne neces
sary number.
People more In need of food than
clothing were given script to be pre
sented at the commissary of the Med
ford Association of the Unemployed,
and a few vegetables were placed In
each basket at the exchange as a
Christmas gift.
Eggs for mil Folk.
Fourteen dosen orocked egg were
sent with one woman Into the moun
tain regions, where she will share
them with her neighbors. She stated
that It had been two months since
the last egg was used In her home.
Meat drippings, to be used as lard,
were also sent to the same commun
ity. -
Since the opening of She shop, the
women have made up seven bolts
of outing flannel, with 100 yards In
each bolt, Into warm nightdresses.
The great need at the present time,
they stated Wednesday, Is for shirts.
Shirts of any kind are wanted, as
there are many men and boys In
need of them. So anyone with shirts
to give la asked to call the exchange
or bring them In,
The Jackson cou'Aty peer farm Is
also supplied to some exwui W
clothing and with clean rags and other
materials through the erchange,
which as a branch of the women's
division of the Jackson County Coun
cil for the Relief of the Unemployed
Is cooperating in every way possible
with the county In the solution of
1U problems.
Contributions Made.
Many visitors have been calling at
the Welfare Exchange during the past
few weeks and contributions, abso
lutely unsolicited, have been coming
In from many quarters. One of the
latest checks given to help supply
the shop was sent by Mrs, W. T.
Orleve of Prospect, following her In
spection of the exchange.
Following Christmas, the exchange
will continue In regular operation.
