MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. BEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1941. PAGE FIV Salvation Army in Final Plea for Aid In Christmas Food A final plea for a generous offering was asked by the Salva tion army today of all in fortun ate circumstances so that those less fortunate may nevertheless enjoy a happy Christmas. Contributions thus far have been gratifying but far from ade quate to pay for the many bas kets of food the Salvation army will distribute imong poor fami lies in Jackson county, said Ad lutant Charles K. Cox, chief exe cutive here, in pleading for a final manifestation of generosity. "Drop a good-sized coin In our kettles or the tins at various stores throughout the county or mail your contribution directly to the Salvation army." Adjut ant Cox pleaded. "Upon your generosity depends the Christ mas happiness of many Jackson county families, for our Christ mas baskets are (manced entirely by these contributions."' ALBERTA KNIPS SAFE IN HAWAII Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Knips of Oak Grove Road were today in receipt of a letter from their daughter, Alberta, informing them that she was well and ful filling her duties as an army nurse in Hawaii. Miss Knips, who has been in Hawaii at Schofield Barracks since last July and is rated a second lieutenant, went through .the sudden Japanese attack on ' ".he islands December 7. The let ( ler to her parents was written the following Sunday, but it was not postmarked in Honolulu 'until December 17. The letter had to pass the post censor. "One week has gone by and things are almost back in the old routine," Miss Knips wrote. "You can take off your hats . to Uncle Sam's soldier boys. There is not another lot in the world. Nobody will ever take their spirit or sense of humor away from them. "Don't worry about me. I am okay. Say hello to everyone for me." SOLDIERS' FOLKS MUST BE PATIENT Parents should not feel con " eerned if they do not hear for ten days or two weeks from their sons after they have en J tered the armed forces of the United States, a father told the Mail Tribune today. Saying that he knew of num ber of mothers who worried be cause they did not hear imme diately from their boys, the father pointed out that there are so many routine things to do and so many transfers from one place to another to be made that the new soldier or sailor has lit- tie time or opportunity to write ' until he gets settled at his per- manent station. So the father, who did not hear from his own son until ten days after he had left here, advised parents to be patient.

Civilian Defense Set-Up Explained by Coordinator The following IB the second of a series of Informational articles on civilian defense prepared bj Frank Hull, coordinator of the Jackson County Council of Defense: FIRE The protection from fire by in cendiary and demolition bombs is one of the most important and most urgent to be understood by the public and the civilian de fense. In England every man. woman and child function as firemen first. All other activities such as rescue. Red Cross, shelter and protection are supplemental to fire. In England the fire pro tection group consists of four to five people. A small hand pump, four ordinary palls of water, a shovel and a long hoe are utilized. Full instructions will be given on how they oper ate later. The reason for the necessity of all participating in fire-fighting is obvious when you under stand that one airplane loaded with incendiary bombs can drop a series of bombs every 20 sec onds over an area three miles in length and each and every one of these 1,500 to 2,00 bombs can start a conflagration. Multiply this by several airplanes and you can see that in the space of five minutes' time that an area like Jackson county, including f U.SlfNOEDWHISMY GKTlWr In euteete a ssrnte ev lTVlITllV' M 111 ..-wnn sit ou-ntimaco f ViUtTvT!ll Ill'lX X l "I'wwi.Nt.

Those who have gone through this ordeal have solved the prob lem of preventing these fires from becoming great conflagra tions by the simple method of preventing the bomb from start ing the fire.

W) Senator Downey (D.-Callf.) wants nationwide daylight saving ime for the protection of public wel fare and the conservation of es sential resources, and he has proposed that the senate put it self on record as of the same mind. Senator McNary fR.-Ore.), however, questioned whether a simple resolution of the nature Downey Introduced was in itself enough to authorize setting clocks ahead an hour In each time rone, and whether actual legislation might not be neces sary. For that reason, the senate minority leader objected to Im mediate consideration of Dow ney's resolution by which con gress would "express approval" of any steps by the president or the war department, acting under wartime powers, to change the) time standard.
