MEDFORD. MAIL TRIBUNE, ' 1TEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1943 PAGE SEVEN OF COUNTY HEAR i.e. Necessity For Keeping Healthy in Wartime Stressed at Luncheon. Germans Face Grim Winter; Less Food and More Work By Joseph W. Grigg (United Press Staff Correspondent) London, Oct. 1. (U.PJ German people face the fifth grim war winter with prospects of about 80 per cent less food and 25 per cent longer hours than those in America will have, ln formation available to economic experts indicated today. rne DiacK market that once i Urging all Jackson county people to keep as healthy as possible this year, Miss Martha Shamburger, field representa tive of the Oregon Tuberculosis association spoke Wednesday noon to health workers of the county at a luncheon at the home of Miss Helen Bullis Guests were members of the executive board of the Jackson County Health association and educational chairmen of the various community group. Miss Shamburger, In asking for the maintenance of health, warned that there Is in Oregon a short age of doctors, of public health nurses and of hospital bed;. This is particularly true at the Oregon tuberculosis sanitarium at Salem, where 190 of the 320 beds have been closed because of lack of labor. This lack of labor Is realized everywhere, Miss Shamburger admitted, but asked that people not let overwork force them Into illness at this critical time. A certain amount of relaxation is absolutely necessary to good health, she added, and people Just have to see that they get it. Many Leave Early Because of this same labor shortage many patients are be ing dismissed from the tuber culosis sanitarium earlier than usual. Their continued care and instruction becomes the respon sibility of the public health nurses. There is already a short age of public health nurses In Oregon, she added, and the state is losing one each month to the armed forces. Miss Shamburger urged the health association to increase its educational program through out the county to help keep the people healthy. There have been 23 new cases of tubercu losis in- this. county to date in 1943. Tljere were 16 for the full year in 1U4Z. While Oregon has one of the nourished in the relch Is re ported dead not due so much to the Gestapo but to prices such as $100 for ham, $45 for a pound of tea or coffee and $90 for chicken, provided the black market can find them. No Coffee, Tea News seeping from Germany show the ordinary citizens have no real coffee or tea, no pros pects for new clothing and an outlook for an average work week of from 89 to 70 hours not only for relch citizens but for 5,000,000 foreign workers. Fortunate Germans get roast ed barley for their ersatz cof fee; unlucky ones use ground acorns. In the winter months such German rations as potatoes, green vegetables, fruit, Jam, spaghetti probably will be un obtainable. ' The latest information was that the harvest in Germany and the occupied portions of Europe would be good this year but even with the better crops, exDerts believed Nazi authori ties would net be able to in crease the allowances for the people. Condition Compared If Cincinnati, Houston, Den ver or some such American city were to take on the appearance of a relch center practically all street traffic there would stop, taxis would disappear, stocked store windows would bear cards saying "nothing for sale," there would be nothing on store shelves. All the citizens In such cities would lack any chance this winter of getting socks, brushes, combs, toothpaste, toothbrushes, pans, clocks, trunks, notepaper, string, shoe polish and a long list of other items. Other ' reports indicate the Nazis have reached the bottom of the manpower barrel. The last call-up this spring report edly caueht another 2.000.000 men and tens of thousands of small stores were said to have closed their doors. This brief box score Is illus trative of the reported situation inside Germany for weekly civilian food rations, as com pared with the United States: SPARS Seek Recruits I t ' , f v "Semper Paratus," or always ready, the motto of the United States Coast Guard, is exemplified by this alert member of the SPARS, the women's division of the coast guard. More women between the ages of 20 and 38 are needed to serve their country. Those interested are asked to contact Robert Cummlngs, seaman nrst class, wno is in M.atora this week at the Chamber or Com merce, 123 W. Main street, recruiting SPARS. Washington, Oct. 1. (U.B The National Lawyers Guild to day urged congress to increase payments to soldiers' families to $120 a month for a wife and one child, and $20 more for each additional child. Describing as "a national dis grace the present allotments of $6 for a wife and child, the guild said that no bills now be fore congress to raise the amount would provide decent standard of living. The guild proposed that al lowances be denied to persons not actually dependent, and suggested that wives or parents with no children to cere for and who are able to work be re quired to register for Jobs with the u. S. Employment Service. They would be denied allow ances unless there were no Jobs for them. No More Jobless As Labor Supply Washington, Oct. 1 (U.PJ The department of commerce's census bureau reported today the "virtual exhaustion" of the unemployed as a source of labor supply. The bureau said In a report on the nation's labor force that most of the 1,000,000 workers I cent months are persons ehanf esiimated as unemployed In re-' lng from one Job to another.

They must be reached and made to realize the necessity for early diagnosis of tuberculosis. Private physi cians in Jackson county were highly complimented by Miss Shamburger for their attitude in reporting tuberculosis cases to the health department. Training of six members of the Jackson county health de partment and two private Jack son county nurses in phases of the Kenny treatment for Infan tile paralysis was reported to the group by Mrs. Blanche Fris- bie, public health nurse. The eight people received special instruction In Portland and were oluon on nnnnrtlinitv to leam actual application of the packs at the isolation hospital in that city.

TVia ma terials may be turned into inn health department. The specialists conducting the school in Portland, Mrs. Frisbie stated, said authorities are still at sea as to the cause and spread of polio. Only a few facts have been estaoushea tnrougn years of study and many theories ex ploded. They do know now that the disease appears more fre quently in urban localities than in large cities and more oneu in boys than in girls. The number one problem In Jackson county at this time Is the maternal problem. Miss Eliz abeth McGalliard, public health nurse,, told the gathering ui response to Miss Shamburger's questioning. Oregon's birth rate for the first six months In 1943 is 34 per cent over 1942, which was a record year. The speakers were introduced by Mrs. Elwood Hedberg, presi dent of the association, repre sentatives of which were present from Medford, Ashland, Talent, Phoenix, Central Point, Jackson ville and Shady Cove. o: D o D It's great to Be. able to tag ajgalnt Have all Hit ifi Golden JTest Coffee you wisb-your grocer has full lkt'i stocks!"
