weekly dinner-meeting in the
Hotel Medford last night by
Frank Hull, coordinator of the
Jackson County Council of De
fense. Mr. Hull emphasized that

cisco, Mr. Hull told of his ex
periences in the California met
ropolis during its first nights
of blackout He said there was
considerable lack of cooperation
the first night when many ad
vertising signs were left illum
inated and the citizens in gen
eral did not take the matter
seriously. On the second night
however, virtually the entire
area was black, he said.
The Rev. R. W. Coleman, club
member, spoke of the need of
calm thinking and conduct and
counseled against hysteria. He
suggested that everyone start
immediately the practice of con
servation and strict economy.

of a high morale to aid the na
tion in attaining victory.

the Red Cross campaign to
raise $12,000 in Jackson coun
ty for war relief, solicited the
assistance of the club. He said
