PXGE TEN 1IEDF0RD MAIL TRTBtUTE, lEDFORD, OREGON. FRTDAY. SCTTOmTIT? 29, 1933. DEFINITE SHARE Chairman Harder Says Busi ness Men Here Living Up to Principles in Order to Speed Economic Health The following statement regarding the work of the N. R. A. program in Medford and Jackson county wu is sued by B. B. Harder, chairman of tho executive committee In charge here: "Medford and Jackson county ure doing their part in the N, R. A. pro gram In living up to the principles of the N. R. A. a plan which is de signed to put five million back on the payroll In a ahort time. Wnen five million men are back on pay rolls. 20,000.000 people (awumlng four to each wage earner's family) will suddenly be placed In position to buy the normal necessities of life. That means that the total trade vol ume of the nation will, upon the complete acceptance of this plan, be lifted by from 10 to 20 percent. Hue Definite Share "Medfoid has a definite share In thta Increased prosperity to the ex tent that It participates In the plan, so there Is a responsibility on every citizen here to cooperate to the ut most to make this gigantic national Idea a complete success. Every em ployer and every consumer has a def inite responsibility to assume. "Under the N. R. A. the employer hat a definite responsibility as the plan calls for every employer to shorten hours of labor so as to make room for more employees. "Each Industry will before long adopt Its own code which will fix the increased labor obligations to be as sumed by ajl firms associated with that particular industry. Until that time employers are expected to live up to the terms of the president's Reemployment Agreement, sometimes referred to as the Blanket Code, and meet the hours and wages establish ed in that agreement. Cooperation Needed "The success of the N. R. A. there fore calls for the full cooperation of every employer, and It is to the em ployer's self-interest to do this be cause with more people working, with bigger payrolls, an Increased market wlli be opened 'ip for his goods. Every dollar spent for Increased pay rolt will return many fold as business flows frem a consuming public, once more able to buy to supply Its un filled needs.- "Practically every employer In Medford and Jackson county has signed the agreement and except in a few cases have lived up to the agreement. The few Infractions that have been checked are due to mis understandings rather than to delib erate evasions. Consumer Has Purt "The responsibility upon the con sumer should also-tbe met Id order thrt the N. R. A. can be an unquali fied success. Every Individual, man and woman, who buys anything owes It to himself and his community and to the nation, to buy only from those employers .who have taken' the'-increased burden of Increasing payrolls to bring back prosperity. "This is to 'the self-Interest of the ooiisumer because no citizen can fall to share in this added prosperity. It will reflect Itself In Increased values for everything he owns. It will make his present position more secure by reversing the process of deflation. So very consumer should sign the con sumer's pledge, which commits him to do his part In this great national economic experiment. "The duty of every citizen of Med ford and Jackson county Is therefore plain. The president, has aald: " 'On the basts of this simple principle of everybody doing tilings together, we are starting out on this nation-wide attack on unemployment. It will suc ceed If our people understand It in the big Industries, In the little shops, In the great cities and In the small villages. There ia nothing complicated about It and there Is nothing particularly new In the principle. It goes back to the ba&lc Idea of society and of the nation Itself . that people acting tn a group can ac complish things which no Indi vidual acting alone could ven hope to bring about.' Medford Doing Part "Medford Is doing its part in this great plan. It has never fallod when the nation called and It will not fall now. The big majority of consumers have signed the consumer's pledge but at the time the house-to-house cauvsas was made, many were away from their homes. These persons are asked to sign a card at the chamber of commerce Immediately so that a final report can be given to the V. R. A. that Medford has gone over 100 percent.'

Sept. 29. (AP) Everywhere In the country there Is an Increasing and mucA better than seasonable call for turkeys. This ap plies not only to new crop but to old fowls, a most unusual affair as regards the latter considering the extreme lateness of the season. Demand for turkeys has surprised everyone In the trade. For several weeks past there has been Increas ing call for supplies both locally and for shipment to the south and east. Prices have been strengthened as a result of the greater call than sup plies, although some were still try ing to buy them at lower prices. Growers generally were unwilling to market supplies even though cur rent values appear in line with their price Ideas. Market for butter was showing a generally steady tone locally but without price changes. Sales within the immediate territory appeared heavier as a result of the low prices. While there appeared seadlness In all offerings of fresh eggs, top grade was strong as a result of continued demand from the Atlantic seaboard trade. While springers and broilers were scarce and firmly priced in the live chicken trade, other fowls were in clined to show more or less dullness, although prices were unchanged. 4 Market? Livestock.
