TAGE TWELVE MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, ... COMMUNITY CHEST DRIVE CONCLUDED BY END OF WEEK Committee Hopeful All De tails Then Finished 1552 Contributions. The 1939 Community Chest campaign enters its third week tomorrow and the executive committee yesterday expressed the hope that all details could be cleaned up and headquarters closed by next Saturday. The campaign is to run to Novem ber 1 but the final clean-up work can be completed after the closing of headquarters, it was explained. Up to the close of business Friday evening, 1552 individual subscribers were enrolled in the Medford, Phoenix, Jacksonville and Central Point areas, with some outlying territory still to be heard from. Children con tinued to come to headquarters during the week with their con tributions of dimes and quarters but little Donna Evelyn Sher wood remained the smallest contributor. She walked in to Community Chest headquarters the previous Saturday and handed over five pennies. To date the largest contribu tion from any single corporation has come from Holmes Brothers, the committee announced. Con tributions from employes were not included in this, the sub scription coming solely from the company. Medco Employes Mutual Ben efit association contributed 100 percent to the chest, this being an association of employes of the Medford Corporation. Also in the 100 percent rolls yester day were all the public schools of the city, they including the grade, junior and senior high schools and the superintendent's office, the executive committee announced. Other firms contributing 100 percent during the week were Beck's Bakery, Burelson's, Wool worth, American Laundry, U. S. National Bank of Portland, Grover's Dairy, Snider's Dairy, Medford Service Station, Bruce Bauer Lumber company and J. C. Penney. Eight 100 percent firms had been previously announced. making a total yesterday of 20 such contributors. To complete the campaign It will be necessary to contact a great many persons whom solic itors have not yet been able to get in touch with for one reason or another and the executive committee issued another plea lor everyone who has not yet contributed to come to head quarters or to telephone head quarters for a solicitor who will call. Headquarters are situated at the northeast corner of Cen tral avenue and Main street. The telephone number is 789. Small contributions are just as welcome and just as necessary as large ones, the committee em phasized. The committee stated that a story in Friday's Mail Tribune about the assistance needed by a destitute young woman who was about to become a mother Inspired a number of contribu tions yesterday, especially small donations, and gratitude was ex pressed for Dr. LcRoy C. Jen sen's suggestion that if people rontrilmti'd more generously to the Community Chest perhaps the participating agencies would be able to enlarge the scope of their activities to take care of such cases as that of the ex pectant mother.

The mother was the young wo man about whose pitiful plight a story was published in The Mail Tribune Friday. The baby, a girl, was born in a local hos pital Friday afternoon. Hospital ization and other care were pro vided by the Jackson county public welfare commission. Destitute, the young woman had staled that she had been told by three welfare agencies from whom she had sought as sistance that they had no means of giving help in such a case. It was thus revealed that appar ently there was no agency here equipped to handle such a ma ternity case. The Jackson county public welfare commission office ex plained yesterday why it was unable to offer the woman as sistance when she first applied last Thursday. The office said that the woman was living in California when she was de serted by her husband last May and that the girls father as sumed responsibility for his daughter and her baby son, pro vided the welfare commission authorized her return from Call fornia to Jackson county. The authorization was granted, the girl returned to her parents' home and nothir.j more was heard of the case until the young woman went to the commission s headquarters Thursday and asked for help at a time when her baby was expected mo mentarily, the commission's of fice asserted. Having no informa tion to the contrary, the welfare staff assumed that the father was living up to his asserted promise to take care of his daughter and the girl was so in Ijrmed, it was explained. The next day, however, a girl's phy sician called the welfare office, described the situation as an emergency and the commission went to her aid. It was explained that the wel fare commission has no funds to take cic of obstetrical cases, but that assistance is offered in emergencies when help is not available elsewhere. There - is no routine way handling a null.- .', it ated. The Salvation Army also ex plained its posii. in being un able to offer '.' the kind of help that v. urge... . needed. Capt. Reginald Vine. stated that it was too near the time of delivery when the young woman called at the Salvation Army Thursday to i ..io help at the disposal of the organization. The f. ion Army, he pointed out, maintains almost 50 homes and hospitals throughout the com. try tor .i.aternity cases, one of the institutions being in Port land to which the expectant mother would have been taken without question if there had been time. But with the baby expected momentarily, it was obvious the young woman could not be taken to Portland and thr '' Army had no other means of offering maternity as sistance, the co. .1 related. If the case had been called to the atl -.i of ... . Salvation Army in time, the i nization would have been glad to provide absolutely free as much as three months of pre tal and six weeks of post-natal care at its Portland home, Capt. Vincent said. While the homes are In tended primarily for unmarried girlr v!h- '0 mothers. no case needing help Is ever turned down, the captain de clared. He regretted the Salva tion Army was not able to offer the young woman the kind of assistance .;he needed here.
