Closing ttmt for Clutlfled Ads . m. Too 1st to Classify 1J:S0 Medford Boys Go To Beaver State 1 it $44,625 IN WEEK Other Sales Bring Total To $51,175 at Postoffice Last Seven Days. War bonds totaling $51,175 were purchased through the Med ford postoffice for the week ending at noon yesterday, far exceeding the purchase figure for any one month since the inauguration of the bond sale campaign, it was announced by Frank DeSousa, postmaster. Of this huge amount, $44,625 worth of war bonds were bought by workmen at Camp White on the payroll deduction plan, with the balance, of $6 550 worth of bonds, being purchased by local persons at postoffice windows. Most of the bonds were of the $23 type, although two $1,000 bonds were purchased, the post master stated. Sale of the bonds to Camp White workers was handled by W. R. Dolbeer, bond clerk for contractors of the Medford can tonment. He was stationed at the cantonment. In order to handle the sale of the approximately 1,750 war bonds, it was necessary for the postoffice to assign 12 clerks to the task. Through the cooper ation of Karl L. Janouch, sup ervisor of the Rogue River Na tional Forest and E. P. Leavitt, superintendent of Crater Lake National Park, these clerks were permitted the use of the forest and park service offices and typewriters in the federal build ing, thus greatly expediting clearance of the transactions. Cantonment workers purchas ed the bonds through their em ployers, who filed applications at the postoffice. The bonds were paid for, then delivered to the contractors for distribution to the individual employes. The sale for this week is expected to be as large as it was the past six days, Mr. DcSouia said.

BERRY PICKERS NEEDED Oregon City, June 13 WP) One thousand additional berry pickers may be required next week to save Clackamas coun ty's rapidly ripening crop, R. A Blyth, U. S. Employment Serv ice manager here, said today. E Medford peart are providing welcome eating for men in the United States armed forces. This was proved by a unique letter received recently by Bert Orr of the Del Rio orchards from G. E. Patterson of the quartermaster corps, U. S. navy, former navy recruiter in Medford. The letter was written on the blank side of a big Del Rio or chards label, which Patterson had removed from a box of fancy grade pears grown and packed by the orchards, and which was on board Patterson's ship. The letter, written from "somewhere in the South Paci fic," and undated, said in part: "I want to let you know that we do have some good pears to eat even though we are a long ways from home. This load must have been selected for us as they were so solid that on our trip to the far south we had to put them in the tropical sun for a few weeks before they were good and ripe." Patterson, who left here In 1940 after serving as navy re cruiter for about two and one half years, was at first believed to have been aboard the Lex ington, big aircraft carrier sunk in the Coral sea battle, but re cent letters received here by friends have tended to cast a doubt on whether he was on the craft.

The Federal government, with the cooperation of repre sentatives of the insurance industry, has established the War Damage Corporation to provide low cost coverage of physical loss of real and personal property which may result from enemy action or action of our own forces in resisting attack. Recognizing that losses occasioned by war are a national problem, Congress specified in its legislation that rates for this protection should be geographically uniform. Obviously, this policy reflects to the advantage of Pacific Coast areas where war hazard is great er. To illustrate the moderate cost of this protection War Damage Insur ance on growing crops costs but 5c on $100; farm buildings and dwellings, rural and urban, including contents cost but 10c on $100. Coverage for churches, hospitals and public buildings may be had for 10c on $100 if con struction is fire resistive; 15c on $100 on ordinary construction. Protection for apartments, office buildings, warehouses is slightly higher. ... Members of the Oregon Association of Insurance Agents are lending full cooperation to this War Damage Insurance program as a public service. Rates have been established with the sole thought of providing reasonable protection at low cost which precludes all but handling cost to agents.
