MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, SUNDAY, JULY B, 1942. PAGE EIGHT USQ WOULD LIST FOR SOLDO USE Accommodations For Men on Furlough and For Sol diers' Families Are Needed United Service Organization bfficials said yesterday that many inquiries have been re ceived during the past week by soldiers seeking rooms (or their wives or parents who were ar riving in the city, or soldiers passing through on furlough. The local USO center is asking townspeople who have a spare bedroom and are willing to rent to soldiers at a cost of not more than $1 per night to telephone addresses to the USO center. Mrs. Helen Small, USO direc tor, explained that inquiries re ceived during the day are re ferred to the Chamber of Com merce housing committee and the military housing committee. However, many times housing is needed after these offices are closed and in order to cooperate with the local housing officials a file of available overnight housing is kept. Need Volunteers More volunteer workers are reported needed by the center. Those who can assist in any way are asked to - telephone the center or stop at the building for a personal interview. Mrs. Small explained that the USO center does not ask for out right donations. The national USO council has had in pro gress during the past week a nation-wide campaign to raise funds for the many centers throughout the country. But at times, Mrs. Small said, it is help ful for communities to offer personal services and small items to the centers, which are of no use to the individual home She illustrated this point by mentioning donations which have come Into the center re cently, such as a piano, ping pong table, library books, maga zines, decorations for the cen ter, also .club and individual supplies to the canteen in the form of punch cherries and cookies. Such items as these, she explained, ease the strain on the budget, allowing for needed expenditures elsewhere. Volunteer personal service is also of value to the center. Among those the USO coun cil listed for "thank you's" dur ing the past week are Antioch school district for a piano; state forest service, transportation of piano; Mrs. F. Corning Kenly. ping-pong table; Hunt's ice cream shop for use of cans and cold room; Miss Marian Farrell. mixing 15 gallons of punch; Mr and Mrs. W. H. Hill donation of guitar to canteen, and Satch Bl anch! and orchestra tor music.

Activities A school of Instruction for presidents of local Parent-Teacher units was conducted Monday afternoon at the home of Mrs. A. H. Puhl, county council presi dent, by Mrs. Puhl and Mrs. J. K. Hoey, state vice president for this district. Special instructions for each committee were given the presi dents and it was announced that the presidents packet will be out in August. The contents should be studied carefully and committee material should be distributed at once to the var ious chairmen. Continuation of P.-T. A. activity throughout the summer months was urged. Es pecially through the medium of the war committee which has charge of defense preparations, including appointment of block mothers, safety training and re creational activities. The five summer round-up campaigns should also be carried through to completion so that local units may receive the certificates awarded by the national asso ciation. A number of county commit tee chairmen were appointed during the afternoon. A com plete list of county chairmen will appear at a later date. The instructions given by Mrs. Puhl and Mrs. Hoey were received when they attended the recent meeting of the state board of managers and county council presidents school of instruction held in Portland. Guest of honor at this meet ing was Mrs. William Kletzer. national P.-T. A. president, who spoke on the subject of children in' war time. Mrs. Kletzer cautioned against neglect of children employed In war work pointing out that the raising of good citizens is the greatest ser vice that can be rendered the nation even though the Job may be lacking in glamor. Mrs. Klet zer also emphasized the impor tance of maintaining the highest possible educational standards she stated that low salaried teachers in rural communities are going into defense work and lack of good teachers will definitely handicapped rural children. Should closure of schools be forced there would be a sharp Increase in juvenile delinquency. Another guest at the Portland meeting was Ray B. Schwartz. speaking on surplus commod ities. He explained that adequate quantities of surplus commod ities will be available again this year but they will be stored in central depots. Transportation costs from these depots must be met by the organizations spon soring the school lunch programs where the supplies are used. Mr. Schwartz urged that P.-T. A.'s and school boards take im mediate steps to arrange for transportation so they may be sure of obtaining supplies when needed.

Nazis Permit News Of Bombing Damage To Reach Citizens Bern, Switzerland, July 4 UP) Germany, relaxing a strict press censorship, finally is be ginning to tell her people of the damage caused by repeated RAF raids on the Rhineland and Ruhr districts in three years of war, especially the mass raids of 1942. . . Hitherto, German accounts were confined chiefly to news papers in the areas concerned, but since the bombing of Col ogne, papers throughout the country have taken up the dis cussion. Foreign correspondents In Berlin were requested not to re port one article which appeared in Berlin under the title "crime against Cologne." The articles by stressing the necessity for preparedness, im plied that Germany expected continued heavier raids in a British effort, as the Munich Nachrichten said, "To destroy the economy of the industrial heart of the Reich." E Due to the fact many farmers of the valley laid In a supply of hay baling wire last fall and winter, few are without it now. County Agent Robert G. Fowler reported Friday. A few have been able to fill their wants by procuring small lots from Klam ath county. The quota original ly allotted for this county for July has been deferred until August, it was reported. The county agent said due to priorities it was difficult to ob tain fatm material for harvest ing needs at this time but stated there was serious shortage. Harvest of the first crop of alfalfa and hay is being ham pered by lack of sufficient help, many farmers operating with two wagons where in former years they had four or five.
