GEES"' ST 7) n County P.T.A. Defense Meeting . Is Well Attended By Mrs. John Bohaert "Be prepared for the worst, then, no matter what happens, we wilt be ready and we will not be taken by surprise," said Capt. S. M. Tuttle, county defense chairman, speaking to a gather ing of parents and teachers that filled the Lincoln school gymna sium in Medford Wednesday af ternoon. The meeting was spon sored by the Jackson County Council of P-T.A. Capt. Tuttle emphasized that "our protection is our Job," and military forces cannot be expect ed to do the things that county residents can do for themselves. It Is the duty of every citizen to learn exactly what precautions should be taken for defense, then calmly make preparations. The chance of a bomb hitting a school building Is relatively small, but, in event of necessity, the school children's greatest sa'ety lies In thorough prepara-J tlon. Supt. E. H. Hedrlck, in charge of school evacuation, stated that complete Information on this subject will be sent to every home, and he urged strict co-operation of every parent Parents must not go after chil dren during an air raid. Streets and highways will not be places of safety. Protection against incendiary bombs should begin at home, where all rubbish, especially In attics, should be cleaned up, and attics made easily accessable. Ed Mann who recently returned fiom a school of instruction in Portland, said every person should make it a point to know how to combat incendiary fires. For the care of injured, cas ualty stations have been desig nated for each district. Dr. U D. Inskeep, in charge of the medi cal division, stated that one or more doctors, nurses dentists, and ambulance drivers 1 have been assigned to each station, and that respective districts would assist with securing nec essary furnishings and equip ment. Individuals may also aid the cause of defense preparedness by having a practical knowledge of first aid. As demonstrated by three youthful first aiders, this Is a field of service in which young people may also partici pate. PT-A. units throughout the county are co-operating closely with the defense program, but reports, given during the morn ing session of Wednesday's coun ty council meeting, indicated that they are not neglecting reg ular projects. Twenty-one units reported that hot lunches are served regularly In their schools. Scout troops and 4H clubs are being sponsored, uniforms for school bands are being secured, and many other character build ing projects of benefit to both the students and the community are being carried on. Reports of Interest were given by member ship, magazine, and summer round-up chairmen. . An interesting talk was given by Mrs. E. A. Brockway, new county PT.-A. defense chairman, and Mrs. B. C. Forsythe explain ed the purpose of Founders Day which P-T.A. will observe soon. Those elected on the nominating committee were Mrs. B. C. For sythe, Ashland, Mrs. Dee New ton. Medford, and Mrs. Brill, Elk Creek. Just prior to the after noon session, the Central Point mother and teacher chorus, dl reeled by Miss Leah Evans, sang two numbers.

The crew of Russians, Chinese and Dutch aboard the Japanese chartered freighter took it safely Into a port In the Pacific, authori tative sources here reported, with the Japanese officers as prisoners in the brig. They were turned over to United States au thorities. The epic began when a Rus sian radio operator received re ports of the attack on Pearl har bor when the freighter was only a score of miles off the Japanese coast, en route to Yokohama with 4,000 tons of coal. Rather than going to the Japanese offi cers, he took the word to his fel low Russians, and they enlisted the Chinese and Dutch in over powering the officers. , TO Portland, Jan. 23 UPt That tire rationing boards soon will be called on for other services was seen today with the elimi nation of the word ."tire" from the board's name.
