$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.

Blyth, U. S. Employment Serv

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.
Mr. Josephine Geppert passed
away at a local hospital Friday
evening at the age of 76.
She was bom In Illinois on
July 27, 1865, and came to this'
valley 57 years ago, where she
had resided continuously. Her
husband, Joseph, preceded her,
passing in 1929. S,he was an
Eagle Mother of the Crater
Lake Aerie. Five of 11 children!
survive; Horace, Lewis ana
Charles Geppert, Mrs. Jose
phine Lebo and Mrs. Urzula
Childreth, all living in Medford.
There are also nine grandchil
dren and four great-grandchildren.
Services will be held In the
Copger Funeral Parlors Monday
afternoon at 1, with Rev. D. E.
Millard officiating. Interment
will be In the family plot in
the Butte Falls cemetery.

THE UfjITED STATES GOVERNMENT, In Cooperation
With The INSURANCE INDUSTRY NOW OFFERS
fro
BEGINNING ABOUT JUNE 30th
War damage insurance, extending protection against
any eventualities of enemy action, is now available
through firms writing fire insurance in this area. 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.
These Medford Members of the Oregon "Association
of Insurance Agents, affiliated with the National
Association, Will Provide Authoritative Information
& Reliable Service in This New W ar Damage Insurance
