GETS UNDER
184 Volunteers Needed to
Carry on Work Office
Opens Today at Chamber
Tentative organization of so
llcitors for the 1944 campaign of
the Medford Community Chest
was outlined In detail at a gen
eral meeting September 21 of
Chest directors, participating
agencies and representatives of
service clubs and the general
public, at the Chamber of Com
merce. A. M. Cannon, president
of the Chest corporation, pre
sided. Emphasis was placed on
the voluntary nature of the cam
paign, since no professional staff
or paid solicitors are employed.
An average load of eight calls
per solicitor was set as standard,
based on past experience here
and elsewhere, with each busi
ness house or employer counted
as one call. It Is hoped to reach
the bulk of local adult residents
"face-to-face" through employ
ers without resort to Intensive
house-to-house canvass, as a la
bor conservation measure, Can
non stated.
Nead 1B4 Volunteers
A total of 184 volunteer work
ers will be required. Including
four "majors" for each main
geographical division of the
city, and 45 'captains," each re
sponsible for solicitors working
1 none city block or equivalent,
estimates Indicated. Public an
nouncement of leaders' names Is
expected Tuesday.
Approximately 3500 Individ
ual contributions are listed In
the previous year's files of the
Chest, according to Elwood Hed
berg, secretary-treasurer.
Last year's campaign raised
approximately $43,000, ot which
about $19,000 was contributed
by 319 business establishments
and the balance by Individuals.
This year's goal Is set at $37,500
by the directors, the difference
under last year being roughly
the contributions of Camp Whlto
organizations and personnel no
longer In the Chest area.
Open October 9
Opening date of the campaign
has been set at October 9, while
October 2 Is set for completion
of organization. An office presid
ed over by Mrs. Florence Libby
will handle clerical detail be
ginning today, located at the
Chamber of Commerce head
quarters on Main street. Lists of
business houses and employees
arranged geographically and cor
related with files of last year's
Chest members will be pre
pared for the use of volunteer
solicitors Secretarial service for
each "major' has been volun
teered by the paid staffs of bene
ficiary agencies, Including Boy
Scouts, Girl Scouts, Salvation
Army and Medford YMCA, it
was pointed out at the meeting.
Local clubs represented, whose
aid Is to be enlisted In securing
volunteer solicitors, Included
Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, Elks,
Eagles, Neighbors of Woodcraft,
American Legion auxiliary and
Medford Sojourners.
"Success rests with the num
ber and efforts of volunteer
workers," Cannon stated in an
appeal for sufficient aid to avoid
excessively burdening a smaller
number of workers. Seven local
agencies, 22 national and war
relief and nine state child-caring
organizations depend for
support on the Community
Chest campaigns.

The office of price administra
tion today announced celling

and figs of the 1944 and later
crops.
It also set ceilings on proces
sor sales of the 1944 pack of
Bartlett pears produced in Cali
fornia. Dried prunes, as a result of
the action will go up about a
half cent a pound at retail, while j
raisins will go up between one-

pound. Bartlett pears will be In- j
creased at retail by about two
cents for a No. 2Vi can. i
I Dried apricots will go down

pound, the OPA said, while the
other affected dried fruits,
peaches, pears and figs, will vary
only "slightly." I
The pear ceilings are based on
a raw fruit cost of $80 per ton. ;
Pears from areas outside Cali
fornia will be priced later.
The OPA gave this explana
tion in announcing the ceilings
on the six dried fruits: i
"Apricots: The price decrease
