F NEEDED ARTICLES FOLLOWING STORY A cook stove, a heating store. ne bed and two mattressea, clothing and food, have been supplied Medford'a tent family of six. whose needs were revealed In the Mall Tribune a few days ago, It was learned today. Following appearance of the story, the Red Cross, aid of which had not been solicited by the family, Imme diately started work on the case, and individuals throughout the city have volunteered household goods, prod ucts, and time, to make conditions more bearable for the afflicted moth er and father. The family la still In need of a warmer shelter, however, as their tent leaks when It rains and provides the mother, who has a very painful goi ter, with very Inadequate quarters In which to care for her family. In a much shabbier, unfloored tent, which has been pitched near ihe one In which the family resides, she washes clothes and prepares food, In an attempt to satisfy six appe tites. ' She Is very grateful for the cook stove donated the Bed Cross by Rev, W. B. Balrd, she stated today, as It will add much ease to her dally toll and enable her to bake foods for the family.

A long list of firms and Individuals supplied a mother arid two children, living In similar destitution, with food and clothing just before Christmas. Active People Require Larger Supply of Food AS LAST BOSEBURO, Ore., Dec. 30. (AP) Approval of a state sales tax as an emergency measure, to be adopted only Bfter all other means of rais ing revenue for state purposes have been exhausted, was voiced here last night at a meeting of directors of the Douglas County Taxpayers' league. The league also endorsed a proposed bill providing 2 per cent discount on taxes paid on time. It also recommended resubmission to state voters of the bill for tax su pervision defeated at the last gen eral election. A proposed bill to compel payment of bounties of 920 on cougars and (30 on wolves from state game funds was approved. Four members of the league were appointed as delegates to the meet yg rolled for January 3 at Salem by the Marlon County Taxpayers' lague. (By the Bureau of Home Economics, V. 8. Department of Agriculture.) Active people, whatever their age, need more food than inactive people. The farmer, the lumberman, the out door laborer of any kind, not only wants more food than the office worker wants, but needs It to supply the energy for the physical labors of the outdoor Job. Such a man may need from 3. BOO calories to as much as 6.000 calories per day, nutritionists say. The moderately active man needs only about 3,000 calories, the j moderately active woman, about 2,400 caiones. vegetables ........ i lb- In most lives, the passing of the years brings a gradual decrease In muscular activity. With less activ ity, the need for energy food begin o diminish. For people who have plenty to eat, that Is a time to watcn their weight, because excess quan tities of energy-yielding foods are stored as body fat. After middle life another factor Is at work also, reduc lng still further the amount of food required. All people In those year experience a slowing down of Internal processes that have required more fuel In early and middle me. For elderly people who have no more than enough to eat, and who must make every penny count, says the Bureau of Home Economics of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, it Is fortunate that they can do with less food now than when they were younger. As compared with the 4,300 calories a man of active occupation may need at 30, say the authorities, that same man may need only 1,800 calorics when he Is 80 years old. A woman who at 30 years needs 2,400 calories per day may need only 1,800 at 80. With the quantity of food reduced, however, It la important to make sure that none of the essential nutrients are left out. As this works out in a weekly food budget, an elderly, Inactive couple In their 70s may need something like a half to two-thirds as much food as adults In their 20s or 30s. A market list like the following would meet their actual needs: Flour, assorted cereals,...-.....6 lbs. Or Bread .3-3 lbs. Flour -m...-. - 4 lbs. Milk ....... U-12 quarts Potatoes, sweet potatoes o lbs. Dried beans, peas, nuts ...-lb. Tomatoes, citrus fruit ...,.2 lbs. Leafy green and yellow vegetables 9-4 lbs. Dried fruits , ft Other vegetables, fruits. 2-3 lb. Butter, other fats (Including ' bacon and salt pork) ........ t lb. Sugar, molasses lb. Lean meat, poultry, flsh.... 1 lb. Eggs ldos. As compared with the low-coat bud get for a young couple In their 20s or 30s. both very active, the elderly couple's budget, above, Includes more milk and eggs, but less of everything else. Whatever the age, a balanced diet Is still needed. Elderly people re quire fuel, in the form of carbohy drates and fats, though not so much as younger people require. Less fat Is recommended because It digests slowly, therefore fried foods, rich sauces and pastries may not be good for them. They require protein and for easy digestion it may be wise for them to get their protein chiefly from milk, cereals, eggs, finely ground HE I WILMINGTON, N. 0., Dec. 30 (AP) A cargo of crime oil aboard the tanker Doris Kellogg today was aban doned and in flames approximately 85 miles southeast of Frying Pan Shoals.

OSOl OSXOl HOI THE HOME OF BREAD LIKE MOTHER MADE 1932 1933 AT LAST we bid goodbye to old 1932 and all its woes. Like days in the sickroom, 1932 has seemed long to many, while to others with obligations to meet it has rushed along at terrific speed. Like a guest who has worn his welcome his leaving surely makes all of us feel better. Who knows but that January 1, 1933, is the corner behind which prosperity has been hiding. There are many signs of better things in store for Southern Oregon in '33. Canned fruits are advancing in price and because of the short pack in '32 the available supply should be entirely used by the fall of '33. Canners should be in the market for heavy supplies of pears, as stocks are low and cannery prices have recently advanced 15. Local canneries have sold their products readily and promise more than doublo plantings this year. Toboganning is great sport on a smooth hill. We've just come down a mighty rough one and it wasn't any fun, but we are at the bottom.
