The United Chine Relief drive U underway throughout the county and rontributiom are being received by the solicitor!. The drive in Jackson county to raise money (or needy purpose! In China lasts this week and those not contacted may leave their donations at either Med ford bank or at the Chamber of Commerce. C. E. "Pop" Gates heads the city campaign with Mrs. Mar garet Fabrick as chairman of the vicinity outside Medford. Concerning the drive Mr. Gates said: "At the request of the mem bers of the Medford committee on the drive (or the China Re lief. I have a.cepted the chair manship (or the city of Medford on this drive. Our quota in the rity of Medford is very small considering the worthiness o( this cause. "Millions of children are starving in China (or the want of food, nourishment, medical supplies, etc., and I wish to appeal to the citizens of Med ford to help and to do so as quickly as possible as we want to finish the drive this week. I sincerely beg of you to help us out as freely and as quick ly as possible Any amount Is acceptable no difference how small. It was gratifying to have three different partly voluntarily turn in subscriptions to me this morn ing Lewis Super Service Sta tion, Mr. and Mrs. Joe E. Eerley of Hotel Holland, and Mrs. Mar garet Fabrick their subscrip tions totaled $50. "One very popular subscrip tion is the donation of enough to keep a child for one year, which entitles the giver to a beautiful certificate showing them to be the 'esteemed grand parent' of one child In China. This is fostered by Madame Chiang Kai-shek. Honorary president of this organization is Mrs. Benjamin Harrison, wife of the former United States President Ben jamin Harrison, who to my sur prise, as I am an ex-Hocsler, is still living and nearlng the cen tury mark. "Any who would like to re ceive one of these certificates at the low price of $20 I would be very pleased to have call at the Chamber of Commerce. I will have you enlisted and have the certificate sent to you. It would be very worthy and very much appreciated by the people of China to have many Amer icans enrolled as 'esteemed grandparents' to the suffering children of China. "If there is any information or anything you would like to know about this cause I would appreciate your calling at the Chamber of Commerce any day this week. Medford has never fallen down on any occasion of this kind and I know they will not this time. If there Is any one who would like to volunteer to sollcite some small district, I will appreciate your help."
