EYEDINDEFENSE
Systematic Program Under
taken; County-wide Meet
ing Slated Here Jan. 7.
Through various working
forces Jackson county is under
going systematic survey pre
paratory to placing before every
citizen the extreme Importance
of proper nutrition and the
means of acquiring It, according
to those In charge of the Jack
ion county council on nutrition
for defense of which Miss Mar
ian Farrell, home demonstration
agent, is chairman.
That the English people are
better nourished now than be
fore their entry In the present
war, owing to their acquirement
of the vital foods, was the strik
ing statement which Mrs. Ethel
Lathrop of Central Point made
to her co-workers at recent
meeting of the council.
Needs Studied
As a foundation for the long
period program to be spread
throughout the county early in
January, nutrition needs of
school children and adults are
being studied, speakers are be
ing lined up for contact with
various groups, cooperation of
merchants and schools Is being
obtained for display of informa
tion, and names of all city and
rural organizations through
which this educational work
may be conducted are being as
sembled.
Although the nutrition coun
ell has been at work through
out the fall assembling all nec
essary information, the actual
expansion of the project Into the
many channels through which
It will function will begin on
January 7, when a county-wide
1 meeting will be held in Med
ford of representatives of all In
terested organizations. Follow
ing that, four training meetings
will be held throughout the
spring at which local leaders
will receive Instruction in teach
ing their own community
groups.
I Chairmen Named

direction of Governor Chas. A.
Sprague, has named the follow
ing local committee chairmen

mittee; Mrs. Ethel Lathrop,

member, listing of organiza
tions; Mrs. A. A. Dixon, chair

tee, securing means of reaching

ledge of providing necessary
food essentials will be needful
In the case of food rationing
and probable rise in prices.
