There is not one dollar of County money in this plant. Through its membership of animal lovers, the property and its facilities have been given to the community for its use. The society has struggled at all times to make its charity self-supporting. Operation costs have been met, partially through a contract with the City of Medford to handle Its dog problems; through the care and boarding of animals: through promotions: and in the past, through a contract with the county court for the en forcement of the State Dog Tax Law. The state dog tax law, which is not enforced by half of the counties in our state, provides that a dog shall bear a license or be killed. The odorous job of this law wus undertaken by Ihe H-.imane Society that it might give the doge a decent 'break"; a chance for new homes; an opportunity, under ,the law, to be licensed and live; or in case of the old and unfit animal to be humanely destroyed. We regret to inform the dog lovers of Jackson county that we are financially unable at this time to care for the stray and unwanted animals, outside the City of Medford, as the County Commissioners do not see fit to support the worthy work which we have performed for the community in the past. The County Commissioners have established a dog pound of their own on the Pacific highway in the city of Phoenix which conforms to their ideas of the way the problem should be handled. We ask the dog lovers of Jackson county to view this new project which your dog license is supporting. (Signed). Jackson County Humane Society, by Mrs. Sidney W. Richardson, Sec. Mgr.

Mack, home demonstration agent. There are 300 home makers enrolled in the project which includes two demonstra tions on diet and exercise with special meetings scheduled for follow-up work.

The nibbles will be cal culated in terms of the number of miles a person would have to walk in order to use up the energy provided by them. "Few people realize that one piece of mince pie provides enough energy for a six and one half mile walk," says Mrs. Mack, "and still fewer people take the walk." Other phases to be discussed will include fat reducing diets that are unsafe, and so-called obesity cures. Exercises helpful in controlling weight will be given at the close of the session.
