SPECIAL- NEW SHIPMENTS of Knox Pique Hats Hunsen White Gloves Just Received Catalina Bathing Suits ADRIENNE'S JACKSON COUNTY FSA COMMITTEE ANNOUNCES PLANS Plans for the new fiscal year, together with reappointment and new members of the Jack son County FSA. Committee, were announced this week by Bruce E. Stewart, County Farm Security Supervisor, 211 Fluhr-, er building, Medford, Oregon. Edward Chamberlain of Eagla Point has been named to tha committee, replacing James R. McCracken, Ashland, whose term expired June 30, 1944. Mr. ljlalliuei jam iiaa uau a rounded experience in the oper ation of the family type farm, and his services on the commit tee should materially benefit the County FSA program. Members with unexpired terms still serving on the com mittee are Earl Ulrlch of Pros pect and Edward P. Vilas of Medford. First, important new work be ing taken over by the County FSA committee for the new fis cal year which began July 1, is an inventory of community and individual borrower needs for Farm Security loans and Sir vices. This will provide the basis for fitting the FSA program to meet local farm conditions both in terms of individual, commu nity and county needs. All FSA loan applications for operating goods, water facilities, group .services and farm owner ship are reviewed and approved by the committee to make the' best ' possible use of available credit and management assist ance, reported Stewart. Funds appropriated for the new year provide about the same amount for rehabilitation loans as last year, but farm ownership loans will be heavily curtailed due to , difficulties in securing good farms at reasonable prices. Work of the County FSA committee has been largely re sponsible for the local accom plishments of the program and I want to publicly thank them for the time and thought they have given to this important Job, Stewart said.
