Newspaper Page TextTEW MEDFORD MAIL TBIBUNE Thursday. Auguil 17, 1944 IN NEED OF HELP TO MEET QUOTAS Public Invited to View Dis play of Work at Head quarters, 222 W. Sixth. More juvenile and adult help la needed at the Junior Red Cross Headquarters workshop to complete quotas of various handwork projects, it was stat ed today by Miss vera Hum phrey, Junior Red Cross chair man. Articles made by the jun ior Red Cross during the past year are now on display at the headquarters. 222 W. Sixth St., during working hours, from 10 a. m. to 5 p. m. and the public is Invited to inspect them. Recognized by Red Cross and military authorities as a vital part of Red Cross work, the Jun ior division produces such ne cessary articles as game kits, bodk racks, books, vases, ash trays,' lap boards, Christmas cards and decorations, pillow tops, afghans and other Items for comfort and convenience of servicemen in camps, hospital and day rooms. Need Older Folk All workers in the group, In cluding the, chairman are un compensated volunteers. Miss Humphrey states that most peo ple find the work interesting and enjoy giving a few hours monthly when their time al lows. She stresses the need for older children and adults, as much of the work of sorting and packing cannot be done by small children, and in the pro duction department the smaller children must be constantly supervised. Main project at the center at present in the making of Christ mas cards. Red Cross officials found last year that many serv icemen, particularly those sta tioned overseas were unable to obtain any greeting cards to send to friends and relatives at home. This year the Junior Red Cross workshops over the en tire country are making cards, most of them from used Christ mas cards donated by individu als in each community, and fit ting them with envelops for dis tribution through army and navy hospitals, to be used by the servicemen. Miss Hum phrey says that Medford citi zens have responded wonderful ly by giving cards, and the first quota of 1,000 Is being complet ed for immediate shipment to overseas hospitals. More will be made later for use by men In this country. The cards are at tractively decorated by pictures, paintings, colored paper and other decoration Ideas, with am ple space left for personal mes sages from the servicemen. Came Kits Pride Particular "pride" of the Junior Red Cross are the game kits made in the Junior High Jeep Shop this year. Each kit con tains nine complete games with typed instructions for playing the game attached indestruc tibly on the back of the wooden board used for the game. Golf tecs and dice required complete the outfit, all enclosed in a well made, attractive wooden box. The kits, constructed for use of American Prisoners of War confined in German and Japa nese prison camps, provide di version for 30 men at one time. Twelve separate processes of sandpapering, marking, wood burning, drilling, etc., are ne cessary to complete each piece in the kit. Twenty-five of the kits have been made in the Med ford shop, and Miss Humphrey states that another 75 will be constructed in the Junior High shop when production Is re sumed this fall. Other items produced In the Jeep Shop, under direction of Mrs. James Medley when It was open for one month this sum mer, were book racks made of small nail kegs, sawed and cut to the proper shape and paint ed In bright colors, for use in camp day rooms, stools also made of kegs, lap boards for use in hospitals, Joke books, and ash cans and vases made of dis carded tin cans painted and dec orated. Hobby House Aids The Hobby House, supervised by the Rev. Mllo Ross, was also open for one month this sum mer and produced numerous vases made of fruit Jars painted and decorated, Joke books, Christmas tree decorations, ta blc centerpieces, and checker men. An interesting sidelight is added by Miss Humphrey, who states that except for one afternoon, all children working at the Hobby House were only eight years of age and under. Other items made during the past year by rural groups in outlying districts of the county, working under the Junior Red Cross, included fracture pillows, afghans, pillow tops and slip pers, third grade students in Gold Hill made a woven afghan. A group of high school girls in Medford sewed hot water bot tle covers. Make Recreation Chests A project involving recrea tion chests for use of service men on troop trains started last year, is continuing, Miss Hum phrey states. Nineteen chests sent from the local office, equipped with Bibles, diction aries, books, games and various articles, are kept in constant circulation. Different organiza tions and groups in the city equip or refill the chests when returned to this station between each trip. Miss Humphrey adds that each of the ID chests from Medford has made at least three trips, with seven individual re fills required during the past month. Servicemen using the articles are permitted to keep them when desired. Currently being solicited by the Junior Red Cross are all types of games, and copies of the Readers Digest mngnzine. The latter need not be current copies, but recent Issues are pre ferred, Miss Humphrey says. Anyone wishing to contribute these may leave them at the headquarters or telephone num ber 4697 and they will be called for. HHEEM EXPANDS Chicago, Aug. 17 (U.RJ R. S.
