Senator Thomas (D Okla.) said the
figures showed the need for further
devaluation of the dollar, while others

said:
"If business leaders cannot help la

Automobile engineers have built new riding comforts, aa
well as speed and safety, in the 1935 models to be introduced
toon. This first picture ol the new Plymouth front-end
(above) shows three new ride features . . (1) semi-elliptic
(tapcred-leaf) springe made with a new steel, (2) double-action
shock absorbers, and (3) the ride-stabilizer. The diagram
(below) snows that the weight of the car has been distrib
uted equally between the front and rear axles. Previously,
about 40 per cent of the car weight was on the front axle
with 60 per cent on the rear axle.

',4 P.M.
ASHLAND. Dec. 13. (Spl.) The an
nus! Christmas concert presented by
the music department of Southern
Oregon Normal and Junior College
next Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock,
Is planned this season to surpnss any
thing as yet attempted, both In the
ambitious program of rmlMc offered
and In the pageantry of the presen
tation. New features Introduced this
year are the uniformly robed choir,
the processional, nnd the candle-light
service. These additions are being
Introduced, according to Miss Louise
Woodruff, director of music, for what
they contribute both1 In pageantry
and mood, through their traditional
association with the ritual of worship
and the spirit of Christmas. A robed
choir presents to the Mght a group
In harmony Instead of a group of
Individuals. The candle-light service.
according to Miss Woodruff, producer
of the concert, will be modeled some
what on the beaut Iful and solemn
candle sen-Ices seen In the churches
of New York City at Christmas eve or
midnight worship.
The concert will be introduced by
distant trombone choir playing
carols, representing the traditional
Invisible musicians of Christmas sym
boll7lng the song of the '-herald
an Rets."
Following will come the procession
al. To provide a touch, of the ancient
Christmas carolers, the choir will
carry folto-sl? hymn books, as seen
In qunlnt pictures of medieval carol
singers.
With the exception of two Russian
carols, the program Is made entirely
of folk songn, all sung In English.
Two troop trains from Med ford CCC
district will leave this week end for
the east, carrying 410 members of
the corps who have been stationed at
camps throughout southern Oregon
and northern California.
The first will leave Saturday, De
cember IS, and will carry 377 men,
all from the Sixth corps companies,
under the train command of Major
Robert f. Dark, district executive of
ficer. Captain Glen J. Key. district
motor transport officer, will act as
mess officer, and Dr. Leonard C. Lamb
of Camp Hilt will be train surgeon.
These men will detrain at Fort
Sheridan, where they will bo dis
charged on December 23 to bo homo
for Christmas.
The second train, carrying 133 men
from Coqullle, will leave on Monday,
December 17. One hundred and
twenty-sewn of these men will be
from Camp Sltkum, Co. 750. and the
rest from headquarters detachment.
all of whom will detrain at Fort
Crook, Neb.
Lieut. Phllo D. Smith, assistant ad
jutant, district headquarters, will be
train commander and mess officer.
Lieut. Frank w. Hnffrty, Camp Devils
Flat, will be train surgeon.
Those to be discharged from Camp
Sltkum comprise nearly half the en
listment and will be replaced during
January, probably from the Seventh
corps, according to district headquar
ters. The Hltkum company Is the
only Seventh corps company tn the
district.

found In the past that over-generous
persons often turn in names of
families who are not actually In need
and would resent the presentation
of a Christmas basket. In order to
avoid mistakes of this kind, a call Is
always made at the home before the
basket Is delivered.
The Salvation Army depends on
the generosity of Medford citizens
to fill the baskets. Not one penny
of money given for this purpose goes
to any other fund, nor is any of It
