STATE MOVES 10 HALT GROWTH IN RELIEF FOR AGED Will Add No More Cases Other Groups of Needy to Share Available Funds Finding that the expenditures for old age assistance are ab sorbins a disproportionate share of Dublic welfare funds, the state public welfare commission at a meeting October 27, adopted resolutions stabilizing Its old age assistance program at present levels pending exam ination of prospective demands during remainder of the bien- nium. While the general assist ance load was reduced sharply during the summer months, as is usually the case, the old age load showed steady increase due to numbers added to the rolls. At present old age assistance is absorbing two-thirds of the whole expenditure for public welfare. General assistance cases dro ped to 7,994 in September, with a cost of $149,334.95, lowest both in number of cases and amount of expenditure since October, 1937. Old age assist ance cases now stand at 21,015, highest in history. Total expend iture for October for old age assistance was $449,350.97. Average Unchanged Because of the increase in number of recipients the public welfare commission has not been able to increase the aver age amount paid per person, in spite of the fact that the ap propriations for the biennium are substantially larger than for the previous biennium. As the winter season comes on with its customary greater call for general relief the com mission has adopted resolutions to conserve its funds. General assistance funds will still re main restricted in amounts. County public welfare commis sions will be asked to review cases on old age assistance to see if changes in status may not allow some reduction in the case load. The board also adopted a resolution that no new cases for old age. assistance will be ap proved for the present, although general assistance will be pro vided in emergency cases. Care Required f "1 believe we have sufficient funds to carry us through the biennium," said Chairman J. H. Luihn of the commission, "but we must budget our expendi tures closely and must see that funds are fairly shared among the various groups of persons receiving assistance. We need to have a little larger cushion of reserves to meet contingencies such as a hard winter or late spring, which alwayS increases the demands for aid. As soon as our budget will permit we will be able to resume enrolling ellgibles for old age assistance. No general reduction in month ly allowances is contemplated." It is expected that this policy will make it possible to con tinue payments for old ago as sistance to eligible persons. The policy will be modified as soon as possible, the commission said. It is hoped that improved business conditions will lessen the need for public assistance and make it possible for the commission to accept new cases at an early date.

(Pj The first tenor got sick but that didn't Stop a Bclden Methodist church program. Mrs. A. E. Fowler, 72, wife of the pastor, filled in to complete the male quartet. While she sang first tenor, her husband chimed in on the second tenor's part. 1940 WINTER WHEAT FAR BELOW NORMAL IN PRIVATE GUESS Chicago, Nov. 3. (IP) First private estimates of probable United States winter wheat production in 1940 today Indi cated the crop will be sharply below normal as a result of an unprecedented fall drought in the southwest. Crop experts here who made tentative forecasts seven months before the harvest said current poor conditions indicate pro duction may fall to 375,000.000 to 415,000,000 bushels. This would compare with the 1939 harvest of 550,710,000 bushels. The domestic winter wheat har vest has fallen below 400,000, 000 bushels only once in many years. That was in 1933 when the crop was only 376,518,000 bushels partly as a result of a two-month dry spell the pre vious fall. The average of five experts' estimates of 1939 corn produc tion was 2,555,000,000 bushels, which if borne out by final har vest returns, would give the United States its largest corn harvest, with the exception of 1937, in seven years. Last year's harvest totaled 2,542,238.000 bushels and in 1937 the harvest was 2,651,284,000 bushels. Closing time for Too uit to Clas sify Ads is 1 :30 p m. Pop Quenches Fire. Varnville, S. C (UP) A fire in a small grocery here was extinguished when soda pop bottles were heated by the blaze, the tops popped off and the liquid squirted out. The first thing the owner knew of the blaze was the next morn ing when he opened the store, found the burned place and the floor wet with soda pop. Prosperity Note. Berkeley, CbI.t-W) It may be sign of prosperity. This city owns a yacht harbor and made a profit of $2,000 in 1938 on berthing fees. "The last two performances of a series of three concert pro grams scheduled for presenta tion here during the winter sea son, will be cancelled unless a marked increase in ticket buy ing is shown by next Tuesday," Eino Hemmila, manager of Hunt theaters, told a group of lead ing Medford music enthusiasts Wednesday at a luncheon meet ing. Mr. Hemmila pointed out that the concert series is being con ducted on a civic basis, merely for the pleasure of valley resi dents, and that contracts for the series were signed by the thea ters when pressure was brought to bear upon them by various local music groups to bring into this city and southern Oregon talented artists and outstanding musical programs. This season's series, compris ing Ossy Renardy, Donald Dick son and Marian Anderson, is by far the most oustanding group of artists ever brought to Med ford, it was agreed at Wednes-. day's gathering, but regardless of this fact, it will not be pos sible to continue with the series unless an upward trend if in terest is proved by this week. Mr. Hemmila stated that Tues day evening's performance of Ossy Renardy will be presented regardless of the ticket sales. He also advised that if it be comes necessarv to cancel Don ald Dickson and Marian Ander son he doubts very much if tal ented artists can ever again be secured for local performances. However, if the ticket sales in crease and the series goes on as planned, this excellent group will be but the forerunner of other equally as fine programs in this city. Several persons at the lunc- eon remarked that perhaps val ley residents were not purchas ing the season tickets because of their desire to hear only a single artist.

DEATH GOMES TO Of 14,000.001, aliens in the United States, more than 6.000.- 000 had not applied for citizen-' ship up to the time European hostilities started. I Chicago, Nov. 3. (P) Opic Read, last of a pioneer Ameri can literary line that included Mark Twain, Eugene Field and James Whitcomb Riley, died Thursday of infirmities induced by September's extreme heat. He would have been 87 years old December 22. The genial wit, novelist and raconteur died in the South Side home of Mrs. Belle King, widow of a devoted friend of yore, where for many years ce lebrities and obscure persons fraternized at open house cele brations on Read's birthday an niversaries. Read was founder of the Ark ansas Traveler, humorous pa- nar anthnr nf 52 bOOkS and coiner of epigrams unnumbered, and even in his advancing years had few peers as a teller of stories. Lost-and-Found. Harlingen, Tex. (AP) Thir teen years ago, while Walter Martin of Port Isabel, Tex., was in Denver, Colo., participating in the Great Western handicap, a valuable gun was stolen from him. He reported the theft to police. Denver officers Just in formed him the gun had been recovered in a pawn shop and was being returned to him. Mar tin said the pawn shop ticket indicated the gun had been pledged for a loan made to a Wyoming man who apparently had taken good care of the weapon, because it was in ex cellent condition when it was returned to its legal owner.
