UP) The American Red Cross speeded up its campaign for a $10,000,000 war relief fund today after receiving word that between three and five million Belgian and French refugees were fleeing terror stricken toward southern France. Wayne Chatfleld Taylor. European delegate of the or ganization, telephoned Na tional Chairman Norman H. Davis from Paris: "It is impossible to exag gerate the refugee problem. There are probably 5.000.000 men, women and children homeless. The impact Is stag gering, but the Red Cross is in there pitching."

Cleland en I tei tained yesterday afternoon at j her home on East Main street with a bridge luncheon, the I first of a series of parties. Luncheon was enloved bv the fourteen guests on the terrace Prizes in bridge were won bv Mrs. V. J. Robinson and Mrs. Walt E. Hoppe. Ben E. Harder as campaign director, will contact all busi ness, industrial and professional offices and plants in the Med ford area. Each service club named a member to the five- man executive committee. Meantime Mr. Harder con tinued to organize rural com munities of the county so that all sections might help in the Red Cross campaign, first or ganized drive held here since 1923. Central campaign headquar ters were established today at the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce and persons desiring to contribute voluntarily, to pro cure information or to offer their services as workers in the drive may now call there. Mr. Harder emphasized the desirability of raising the quota quickly so that the helpless vic tims of the war may receive the basic assistance they need so urgently without agonizing de lay. He implored everyone to contribute in accordance with his means. Obligation Stressed In answer to the question of some who ask if American funds should not be kept here in case this country becomes involved, the Red Cross office emphasized that it is the obligation of civil ized people to help their fellow men when they are in need. Other countries contributed to their Red Cross societies gener ously even when they were cer tain they were to be drawn un-' willingly Into the conflict. It was pointed out. Belgium being cited as a little nation that sent $1,000,000 to Fi..land for war relief when shej herself, was under the very shadow of the giant war machine. There are no valid reasons, it was declared, for nullifying humanitarian impulses. Musical Concert Enjoyed; Year's Activities Lauded By Mrs. E. E.
