Civilian Defense Council's
Committee In Charge Of
All Phases Of Program.
Plant made by the recreation
committee of the Jackson Coun
ty Council of Defense embrace
not only the soldiers who will
occupy the Medford army can
tonment but also the civilian
workers who will build it, Mrs.
Alfred S. V. Carpenter, com
mittee chairman disclosed yes
terday. Definite plans made already
for the thousands of workers
and their families who will
come here to build the canton
ment include club room for
women, a day nursery and club
rooms for men, Mrs. Carpenter
said, revealing that committee
plans are flexible enough to
meet any ordinary circum
stances. . Mrs. Carpenter spoke of the
plans when questioned by the
Mall Tribune after the visit Fri
day of Don T. Orput, Portland,
field recreation representative
of the federal security agency,
and Harry H. Stoops, San Fran
cisco, acting regional director.
Mr. Orput spent the day here
In conference with Mrs. Car
penter and various city, county,
coordinating cantonment board
and other officials regarding
recreational plans. Mr. Stoops
conferred with Mrs. Carpenter
and Mr. Orput between planes,
continuing northward after the
conference.
Applying For Building
Mr. Orput said that the de
fense council's recreation com
mittee would handle all phases
of recreation here for both the
armed forces and civilian de
fense workers. The committee
will be the sole planning agency
and all authentic news about
recreational activities will come
from it, he stated.
Mr. Orput said he came here
to gather the latest data and
details to make an application
for a federal community build
ing in Medford.
Mr. Stoops looked over near
by towns, including Eagle Point
and Central Point, both of
which have offered sites for
federal community buildings In
case planners find it necessary
to erect recreational centers In
those towns.
Funds Provided
Mr. Orput explained that up
on request the federal security
agency makes application for a
federal community building to
the public buildings admlnistra
lion, funds for the buildings
being provided by the recent
community facility appropria
tion bill. When constructed, the
federal community buildings are
entrusted to the custody of the
federal security agency which In
turn leases them to cities that
can finance their own recrea
tional program without outside
assistance or to the U. S. O.
when the local recreation com
mlttee applies for U. S. O.
assistance, he related. When the
U. S. O. administers a federal
community building, the local
recreational committee serves in
an advisory capacity.
Cooperating fully, the city
has provided site for the
building here. The site is sub
ject to the approval of the
public buildings administration.
"federal security agency rep
resentatives naturally counsel
with the U. S. O. regarding the
character and conduct of the
defense recreation programs,"
Mr. Orput said, adding that
"it should be remembered that
when It comes to a community,
the U. S. O. comes merely to
supplement the community-wide
recreational program."
Mr. Orput spoke highly of the
capable and far-seeing manner
In which the recreational com
mittee here has handled the
program. He has followed the
work of the committee here
since its inception and declared
he has been Impressed with
Its efficirncy and thoroughness
Mr. Orput has made his services
available to the local committee
whenever called upon and the
committee has frequently ex
pressed its appreciation of his
able guidance and assistance.

Schoenfeld Sees Army Camp
Here As an Opportunity for
Rogue Valley
By Jeunesse Butlar
American agriculture U bet
ter prepared to supply our war
time needs In food and fibre than
any other Industrial group, al
though the picture has changed
since December 7, William H.
Schoenfeld, dean of the school
of agriculture, Oregon State col
lege, told the Fruit Growers
league of Jackson county in an
nual session Friday afternoon at
the Jackson county courthouse.
The fortunate situation had come
about, he declared, through im
proved planning and organiza
tion by agricultural groups. The
dean expressed doubt if ration
ing of food should give great con
cern now or in the immediate fu
ture. Dean Schoenfeld pointed out
that the coming army canton
ment presented many advantag
eous features and could be of
great benefit. "The opportunity
it presents to fruit growers of
this valley in developing a po
tential market after the war is
unquestioned. It presents a cross
section of the American consum
ing public brought right to your
doorstep", he stated, recommend
ing that pears be "brought to
these young men and their liking
for them developed. When they
go back to their homes they
won't forget what Oregon fruits
and Rogue river valley pears are
like," he' added.
In discussing "Food for De
fense", Dean Schoenfeld recom
mended that the Fruit Growers
League appoint a grower-labor
committee to cooperate with the
Rogue River Valley Traffic as
sociation, Jackson county land
use committee, Jackson county
U.S. D A. defense board, Jackson
County council of defense, fed
eral employment service end
local selective service boards.
Food For England
Certain specific foods were In
demand for shipment to England
and to some other countries in
the allied group, he said. Food
which must be low in bulk but
high in calorics and possessing
definite nutritional values, such
as the "protective foods", canned
milk, pork and tomatoes (partic
ularly solid pack), dried milk,
powdered eggs and cheese. These
were being shipped in ever in
creasing volume, he declared.
Discoveries of much import
ance were showing up through
army examinations, his audience
was assured. Men rejected, said
the dean, could be made eligible
within six months by proper diet.
He said that In the last war bulk
only was demanded but now nu
tritional foods were correcting
deficiencies to a remarkable de
gree. Progress Gratifies
The dean said he was gratified
at observing the progress in the
intelligent program of fruit pro
duction in Medford district, that
the league had taken the lead in
constructive work in the matter
of the pear packing school, that
teaching women to work as pack
ers at this particular period was
an excellent idea and that Jack
son county had exceeded the
amount of food required to be
sent to England. "The United
States must again be the 'Good
Samaritan' and feed the world if
there are to be peace and harm
ony in and between nations after
the cataclysm is over," he de
clared. Two resolutions considered of
exceptional importance were
passed. One concerned the adop
tion of new bylaws prepnrcd by
A. S. V. Carpenter, E. W: Cari
ton and W. J. Looker, and a sec
ond, the intention of continuing
me packing school. The financial
report, showed the league to be
in good condition. Eighteen direc
tors will continue to conduct the
affairs of the league as follows:
three year term: E. P. Vilas,
Chester Fitch, S. G. Nye, Jr., R.

Biddle and C. C. Clemens. W. J.
Looker was elected secretary

dent and two vice-presidents
were received but election of
these officers was postponed un
til the regular monthly meet

In a last message to the league,
S. G. Nye, retiring president,
said: "We have a war to fight and
a cantonment to build". Mr. Nye
left later in the day for the north
to assume his duties as captain
in the United State army. He
told his fellow-members that
problems would come up every
day in the fruit industry, re
minded growers present of their
privilege of attending any meet
ing of the board of directors at
any time, declared that many
new packers had been gained as
the result of the packing school
and expressed the hope that it
would be continued. He stated
that a labor camp might prove
helpful and said many messages
had been sent by the league di
rectors to senators and represen
tatives concerning matters in
volving the fruit industry. Nye
said he considered the formation
and conducting of the pear pack
ing school the major achieve
ment of the past two years.
Expresses Thanks
In further reporting on the
school, Chester Fitch expressed
appreciation to the Rogue River
Valley Traffic association and to
the Pinnacle Packing company
for assistance, declared the
school had been self-supporting.
that 20,000 boxes, about one per
cent of the total valley pack, had
gone out from the school and
in so doing had kept a sizable
payroll in the valley. R. W, Root
was commended for his efforts
as chairman of the school com
mittee. Ralph Cook, president of the
traffic association reported on
accomplishments of the associ
ation in conjunction with the
league in the matter of state and
federal laws, importation of
pears from the Argentine, enter
taining the Oregon-Washington-California
Pear Bureau and Pear
League last spring, the migrant
labor camp and pear ripening
program at terminal markets.
Leonard B. Mayfield, princi
pal of the Medford senior high
school, told In detail how the
packing school became, the sec
ond season, the responsibility of
the Oregon state board of voca
tional education and of the high
schools of Jackson county as well
as of the Fruitgrowers league.
Representatives of various fed
eral agencies empowered to help
communities in cantonment areas
with housing and public utility
expansion will come here this
week to look over the situation
again. Frank J. Van Dyke, civil
ian cantonment board coordina-
I tor, said yesterday after his re
turn from Seattle and Portland
where he conferred at the region
al and district offices of a num
ber of governmental agencies.
In Portland and Seattle Mr.
Van Dyke discussed various ap
plications for federal assistance,
lie said. Although the coordina
ting board here has had compre
hensive plans in readiness for
many months, he indicated that
so far as quick federal assistance
is concerned there are still un
solved angles of the problems
that will be created by construc
tion of an army camp in this
area.
