NATIONAL GUARD
Cent Over 1939 Car
riers Assist.
Due principally to the fact
that a record-breaking number
of old subscribers, who prev
iously paid by . the month, have
taken advantage-of the greatly
reduced yearly rate, 'he Med
ford Mail Tribune's annual Bar
gain Days at the end of the
first week yesterday showed a
S3 percent subscription increase
over the corresponding period
of the 1939 Bargain Days, it was
announced by the circulation
department.
The Bargain Days period will
definitely end tomorrow, Mon
day, and as a courtesy for those
who work late the business of
fice will remain open until 10
p. m. Subscription rate for the
year by carrier is $6; by mail
In Jackson, Josephine and Sis
kiyou counties is $4.50.
It was requested by the cir
culation department that all
those wishing to subscribe
through a carrier, but who have
not yet made arrangements,
telephone the Mail Tribune of
fice, 2141. before 2:30 p.. m.
Monday, so that the carrier' can,
call and v receive the .subscrip
tion payment as early ;as' pos
sible. . ' "
.. It was alio explained by the
circulation department that it
was impossible for the Mail
Tribune to'renew ot accept new
subscriptions by ' telephone or
by, -majl, unless the letter was
accompanied by the full price
of the subscription. The sub
scription money must be paid
at. the time of renewal, it was
emphasized.
The Mail Tribune's 44 car
riers have been working day
and night to receive subscrip
tion money, and many of them
have had unique experiences in
making collections. For in
stance: D. O. Lindsey, who de
livers motor route F, called on
one of his regular subscribers
Friday and found that her son
was out of town and the only
way she could renew her sub
scription was to make a trip
into town and draw the money
from her savings account. She
had no means of transportation
for the five miles to Medford
so Lindsey brought her to the
bank here, collected for the
subscription, and returned her
to her home.
Lindsey delivers to 294 reg
ular subscribers and travels 37
miles each day. To date, he
has collected Bargain Days sub
scriptions from almost two
thirds of his customers. And
like Ljndsey, many of the other
carriers have given similar
courtesies to subscribers wish
ing to take advantage of the
Bargain Days rate savings.
However, it was pointed out
by the circulation department,
it was hoped that readers would
not request the carriers to do
things Monday evening as most
of them have so many calls
now that they will .find it dif
ficult to finish by 10 p. m.
Monday.
going remodeling, would not be
completed in time for district

Mr. DeSouza said he received
generous cooperation from all
the county officials in provid
ing accommodations for the fed
eral court.
