L Ii Christmas Exchange to Be Established As Clearing House for Names Dupli cation to Be Avoided Representatives of more than 36 civic, rellgloua tnt welfare organiza tions met at the Chamber of Com merce last evening ami discussed ways and means to avoid duplies - tlon In distribution of Christmas bas kets and In handling of Christmas activities for needy children. Adju tant o. R. Durham of the fialvatlon Army presided. In past years all organisations glv lng baskets or boxes of food to needy families have compared lists with . each other but In many cases these comparisons could not be made until the last day or two before distri bution. In many cases several organ izations were found to have accepted the same family and to have pur chased supplies for them. Plan Clearing House In order to avoid this duplication of effort the committee voted to establish a "Christmas exchange" through which names may be cleared day by day. The exchange will be established In the Chamber of Com merce and all organizations planning to give baskets of food to needy fam ilies are asked to send e representa tive to the chamber to secure ooples of the Christmas exchange forms and an explanation of the proper method of procedure In clearing names. The committee discussed the mat ter of Christmas activities for needy children and W. A. Dates reported that the Groceteria, plans to furnish their usual Christmas banquet for aU needy children of Med ford and vicin ity and that this banquet will oe held Thursday, December 33 at the Elks temple. Adjutant Durham stat ed that for some time ha has felt that the various organizations which assist needy children at Christmas time should pool their resources and efforts in one large community Christmas tree for children and he thought the proper time for the tree was just following the Groceteria banquet. Plan Advanced The adjutant's idea was to trans fer the children from the Elks tem ple when they are finished with thelr dlnner to the Senior high school where they would be given entertain ment and presents. All organizations and Individuals Interested In assisting needy children would be enabled to make donations to central community Chrlstmae party committee. This plan was discussed at some length and Miss Lillian Roberts, Red Cross secretary, who compiles the list of children for the Groceteria ban quet and arranges transportation for them, stated that she thought the plan very worth while and workable. Mrs. Arthur Render, representing the Lady Lions, stated that her organi zation would be very happy to co operate in such an enterprise, it was unanimously voted to arrange for the carrying out of this plan and a com munity Christmas chairman la to be chosen who will In turn choose a committee to work with him In har monizing the efforts of all organiza tions In one community effort.

"You will walk above traffic . . . shop at the sec-ond-storv level ... cross streets on conveniently located bridges. "The space saved by eliminating sidewalks and parked cars from traffic levels will allow fidl width roadways. Open areas beneath buildings will provide parking space and facilities for truck loading. "Yoii will speed 50 miles an hour down Express Streets when driving 10 blocks or more. ISo stop lights ... no intersections . . ." .but TODAY, 4 miles in 5 are Stop and Go VERY TIME you stop your car, you waste gasoline. One stop can waste enough to drive a third of a mile... and if you're an average driver, you stop 30 times'a day! The costliest kind of driving you do is stop and go!
