L BE IN IDFOf T U AND 23 BANDDN MAY GET AID T WASHINGTON. Aug. 10. ( AP) Representative James Mott, Salem, Ore., said today the Reconstruction Finance corporation has tentatively agreed to loan Bandon. Ore., 225, 000 "without any strings" If the fire- ridden Pacific coast town cannot fi nance Its share of a rehabilitation program. The loan at first was approved with a provision that Bandon raise $1 17,000. Because a forest fire vir tually wiped out the community last September 26, it had nothing with which to secure a loan. "If It Is finally determined that Bandon cannot raise the money." Mott said. "RFC officials will see what they can do about making the loan anyway. Of course, the recon-' structlon program will of necessity have to be limited." A traveling United States nary re cruiting party will be In Medford on August 32 and 23, Ernest M. West, re sruiter here, was notified today by Lieut. John F. Goodwin, officer In charge of the Oregon recruiting dis trict with headquarters In Portland. The traveling recruiting crew will accept applications for enlistment and conduct examinations of appli cants, Lieut. Goodwin said in a letter to Mr. West. In addition talks will be given and motion picture programs presented at a number of places here and elsewhere In the Rogue river val ley. It Is not the intention to conduct a recruiting drive but to give eligible youths the chance to procure Infor mation and to file enlistment appli cations without going far from home, Lieut. Goodwin stated. Personal losses due to non-reenllst-ment In the fiscal year ending Junt 30 were less than 3 per cent, Lieut Goodwin said. He attributed the small turn-over to excellent food, healthful recreational facilities, good pay and opportunities for rapid ad vancement. He pointed out that the navy now maintains 57 trade schools for enlisted personnel, the education al facilities being free. More than 92 per cent of the men in the navy to day take a course In some trade of their own choice, the lieutenant stated. In the traveling recruiting party will be M. P. Bryant and C E. Nor ton, both chief petty officers, and H. A. Isbell. NEHEMIAH'S EFFORT CITED BY PASTOR IN PLATE GLASS TARGET FOR STRANGE MANIA COLUMBIA. S. C, Aug. 10.

Weatherford, pastor -evangelist, drew his sermon from the second chapter of Nehemlah. He took as his topic "Hands that were strengthened in a good work." He emphasized the 18th verse of the chapter cited "And they said, let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work." The pastor said: "Nehemlah wai one of the captives born in Babylon. He rose to hold the responsible posi tion of trust, as cup-bearer to the king. Before the king bne day ha bore a sad countenance, occasioned by the great burden ho bore for his people and the rebuilding of the wall at Jerusalem. He said 'My city, the city of my Father, lleth waste and we are a reproach, and this Is the sorrow that breaks my heart-' "Two things Nehemlah had prayed for first, If it please the king . . , send me . . . that I may build.' Hla second prayer was that he might have access to the supplies with which to rebuild the wall. "Nehemlah succeeded under great difficulty through opposition. In the rebuilding of the wall, because they strengthened their hands and had faith for the accomplishment of this work. "What Jerusalem was to Nehemlah, the House of God Is to us. Infidels may scoff at the church and enemies rise up to dismantle the Word of God. but you stand ready today to make more sacrifices for the church than for any other institution, and at the same time give your all In de fense of the Holy Bible."
