PAGE TTVE PLAN 10 REDUCE Tl Chamber Gratified by Re sults of Scheme to In crease Demand Sales Large Drive Goes On With Than reiving over, the Jack aon County Chamber of Commerce today took stock of its "eat more turkey" campaign and found the re suite gratifying. Chamber' officials said they were encouraged not only by the Increased consumption of turkeys but by the spirit of cooperation that has pre vailed on all sides. The Idea to help Jackson county growers to reduce surplus supplies of the birds through Increased consumption met with pop ular fancy more quickly than any other campaign pf recent years, they stated. With fc 33 1-3 percent Increase In production In the county and a 35 percent Increase in general through out the United States over that of last year. It was feared that growers would be stuck with a large percent age of their birds after the Thanks giving marketing. The asserted cut ting off of the Alaskan and far Pa cific markets and the fear of large buyers that they would be unable to get the birds Into cold storage In case of a transportation strike In sympathy with the maritime tie-up restricted the normal outlet . and added to the growers' woes. Increased supplies and restricted markets had a depressing effect on the price of the birds and producers feared they would have to continue costly feed ing far beyond the normal marketing period. It was to relieve growers of the feed burden that the chamber initiated It 'eat more turkey" cam paign. 60 Percent Sold R. Q. Fowler, county agent, report ed that 60 percent of the county's supply had been sold for the Thanks giving market and credit for at least part of this good showing was at tributed to the chamber of com merce. Practically all of the organizations in the county got behind the cham ber's campaign and assisted mater ially by serving turkey lunches and dinners, officials pointed out. Indi viduals helped also by serving turkey at home before the holiday and by sending gift birds to friends and rel atives in various parts of the coun try. All stores tare reported a greater sale of Thanksgiving turkey than in past years, chamber officials said The chamber announced today It would continue ,tta" campaign in an effort to market the remaining 40 percent of county supplies before the end of the year. It urged the con tinued consumption of turkey before as well as on the approaching Christmas and New Year holidays.

Nov. 37. (AP) The nation's turkey growers, some- what belatedly, have "discovered" the chain stores. Pacing financial disaster through Inability to market the nation's rec ord production, they have turned to the chain stores for help. The chain stores took a quick In terest when turkey growers In some parts of the country offered the birds "on the hoof" at ridiculously low prices. Some offers in Arkansas and Oklahoma went aa low as 6 cents a pound. Establish Depots The chain stores threw about 34, 000 selling depots into action. Con fident they have moved a great vol ume, they lacked sufficient reports today to say whether a record for sales had been hung up. The campaign will be continued to Christmas. The crop has been esti mated at 20,000,000 birds over that by grower associations with a com plicating feature. The turkeys this year are big birds. The chain stores have made par ticular effort to Induce customers to buy large turkeys. Advertising and price concessions have been used to this end. Prices Vary George Maklns, general managor of the California Turkey Q rowers asso ciation, figures his association sold some 480,000 birds In the Thanks giving market. Virtually all offerings were taken, despite holding prices at the 31-23 cents opening figure at wholesale. There were extensive re tall sales In San Frnnclsco under and around those figures. Here are some of the wholesale prices quoted yesterday over the country: San Francisco 21-23 lents; Los Angeles, 20-23c; Portland, Ore.. 17-I9c; New York, 18-24o; Boston, 17-2Bc; Washington, mostly 17-18c, but up to 37c on fancy; Baltimore, 18-24; Philadelphia, 17-2 Sc.

GATES AUTO COMPANY, MEDFORD, OREGON CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE STARTS IN 'Buy Christmas Seals, Pro tect Your Home From Tuberculosis,' Is Slogan of Health Association Aa residents of the Rogue Klvtir valley, from richest to poorrst, sat down to Thanksgiving tables, to ob serve again the holiday Inaugurated by the Pilgrim fathers, another ob servance, rapidly becoming as univer sal In this nation, came Into being. For Thanksgiving Day marked open ing of the thirtieth annual Christ mas Seal sale. "Buy Christmas Seals protect your home from tuberculosis.''

The local- drive, conducted by the Jackson County Public Health asso ciation, Is on, and workers hope to wo the Jolly Santa, which brightens the 1938 stamp, adding a touch of color to every wtter, every package, that travels through the mall, rifin Vnlque Campuls" Inspired by the deplorable shortage of beds, existing in the state tuber culosis hospital this year, workers have promised the most vigilant campaign In history. "The menace, still here, will spread If we relax our vigilance In the slightest degree," Is the message of the health association, to be carried In seal sale letters throughout the country. The co-operation of every citizen, however small It has to be, la urged In the campaign as every cent Is used to eradicate tuberculosis. Last year the gross sale of seals amounted to $1806.13 In Jackson county, which meant that on an aver age each person Bpent 8.4 cents for Christmas Seals. An average sale of six seals to each person would bring the total to $1, 976.08 and the Jackson County Health association would retain 185.05 or 60 per cent oi the amount for work within the county, where no one can be secure agaluAt the dis ease as long as It exists within the community.
