Dr. Farmer, who was home director and field superintendent of the North African Mission, and Is now Ameri can secretary of the mission, recently returned from a llt to Morocco, Al geria, Tunisia arm Libya where he contacted all field stations. Dr. Fanner has held Bible and mis sionary conferences in various part of India, Ceylon, Federated Malay States, Great Britain, Canada and 40 states In this country, Approximately 13,100 needy men. women and children' and 300,000 in dustrial and commercial workers In Oregon are now covered by the public assistance and unemployment com pensation provisions of the social se curity act. These figures were an nounced by Mr. Edgar Freed, state director for the national emergency council for Oregon, and are based upon a report of the social security board, summarizing the progress made under the act In the eight months since It became operative. Oregon Is participating In every feature of the social security act ad ministered by the social security board except aid to dependent children. The state has set up an unemploy ment compensation system whloh will protect 300,000 workers against loss of income during temporary pericaa of unemployment. The social security board pays the costs of administering this system. The state has established public assistance plans for aid to the needy aged and aid to the needy blind which, with federal aid, provide regular Income to Individuals unable to provide for themselves, in sepienv ber an estimated 11,900 aged and 360 blind individual received asssist ance under these plans at & total cost of $260,250. Approximately one- half the cost of this aid to the aged and the blind was paid by the social security board. Since the state began cooperation with the federal government under the terms of the social security act. a total of $1,324,394 of federal funds has come to Oregon to aid It in pro viding these benefits. It has re ceived $70,531 for administration of Its unemployment compensation $1,236,022 for assistance to the needy aged, and $26,941 for aid to the needy blind. Federal funds have made it possible for Oregon to provide much more adequately for its needy citizens than would be possible out of state and local funds alone. Still further benefits are open to Oregon under the social security act, If the state establishes a pl&n for aid to dependent children In line with the federal act It will be eligible to receive approximately one-third the cost this aid from the social security board. In addition to these co-operative federal-state features of the social securitv act. Oregon citizens also come under the federald old age bene fit system provided by the act.

Members of the budget commtteee state the boost of the old ago pension from $25,000 to $32,000 for the com ing yecr, would not increase the pen sion payments, but was necessary due to the Increase in age pension appli cations.

SETS NEW RECORO As the weather bureau predicted another day of fair weather with no change In temperature, Oregon resi dents are beginning to wonder if the mid-west drouth has taken up per manent quartern on the Pacific coast. Although falls as dry as this one are not so uncommon In southern Ore gon as In the northern part of the state, the seasonal deficiency to date of 1.27 Inches has surpassed that of 1.11 recorded In October of 1032, the only comparative figure available to. day. October deficiency. Is reported as 1.10 Inches. Medford residents awoke, today to the coldest morning of the season, the mercury having dropped to 29 degrees during the early morning hours, according to bureau officials. Previous low was 31 degrees, regis tered early last week. Low temper atures have skirted the freezing point for the past several days, remaining above 32 degrees for the most part.

The mlllage rate for 1937 Mr. Alford estimated as 19.7 mills as compared with 30.8 for the 1936 and 34.6 mills for 1035. Vastly improved tax collec tions account for the budget reduc tions, the recorder said. Objects To Bond Mr. Pipes also objected to the es tablishment of a real estate depart ment though he added that "the ob ject sought in this department is sound and is good business." He ex pressed the view that if the work could not be done by other deport ments, the head of the real estate department should be paid not by salary but by sale commissions. It was pointed out by city officials to day, however, that the real estate de partment does a large amount of productive work not involving realty sales. Mr. Pipes also registered opposition to the city's financing a municipal band, saying Medford was not now in a position to assume such a re sponsibility. The city council recent ly was requested to take over the Elks band a a municipal organisa tion. A petition filed with the coun cil asked that tha proposition be submitted to the voters at the next special election, Tho matter Is now being studied by council committees.
