The American Red Cross
speeded up its campaign for a

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.

There are probably 5.000.000
men, women and children
homeless. The impact Is stag
gering, but the Red Cross is
in there pitching."
Asked how many civilians
had been injured, Taylor told
Davis that a "rough estimate"

Mrs. Hance H. 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.
