Our local Humane Society In
its effort to perform a very
difficult and necessary work
for the community, in a decent
way, has provided an outstand
ing "Shelter" for the stray and
unwanted animals that Is pat
terned after, by progressive
communities all over the Uni
ted States.
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).

Society, by Mrs. Sidney

STUDYING DIETS
Home Extension Units of Jack
son county are continuing study
of weight control this month
under direction of Mrs. Mabel
C. 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.
Meetings this week are the
second in the series, and will in
clude bqsic foods to be included
in a reducing diet, menu-planning
for weight control and the
caloric value of "between meal
nibbles." 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.
AH homemakers of the commu
nity are Invited to attend the
meetings, which are scheduled
as follows:
Jan. 15, 1:30 p. m. Medford

An amusing movie you've been waiting to see.
Such advertising is news just as truly as a Euro

It keeps you alert and up-to-date. It posts you on
