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.

We find that'children,asa"rule,
Are happy to return to school,
If they have understanding mothers,
Who dress them just as well as others,
A child whose mother shops with carev
Who counts on Penney's Children's Wear
Is one whose children do their best,
Because they're always so well-dressed!
