IN MANY ACTIVITIES Poliomyelitis, better known as Infantile paralysis, and dreaded under any name, struck In Jack son county again this year. But Jackson county was prepared to give the Kenny treatment so the disease will leave in its wake far fewer cripples. Seven nurses were sent by the Jackson Coun ty Public Health association to the clinic conducted in Portland Just to learn how to alleviate pain during polio s acute siage and how to prevent or lessen the crippling results at the end. That this clinic was of true value was recently related by a graduate nurse, who did not at tend. She was called in on a polio case In Medford. She thought she understood the Ken ny treatment. In a few hours she realized she did not. She tried pack after pack, she stated, but each had lost its necessary heat when It reached the affect ed area. She knew what to do she called one of the nurses who attended the Portland clinic. The nurse come with more suit able material for the packs and the experience she had gained from actual practice. In a few minutes all was going well. The hot packs were calming the muscle spasms, which used to cause crippling contractures. Many Sarvices Sending the nurses to Port land for special training was one of many services of the Jackson County Public Health associa tion last year. The money in this particular case, came from sev eral sources. The regular polio fund furnished most of it, but the regular funds of the associa tion, which is partially support ed by the Medford Community Chest, were used also in order to accomplish a greater dissemi nation of the knowledge to be gained. During the last fiscal year the Jackson County Public Health association spent $1,830 in dem onstration nursing. Other major financial items included educa tional supplies, which are kept in constant circulation through out the county, sponsoring of two motion pictures on health, and a dental show. Supplying milk to tuberculosis patients has always been a first on the list of things to be done by the asso ciation. Patients in the tuber culosis hospital were supplied with Christmas gifts from the association. Assistance was, as usual, given to Dr. G. C. Bell inger In conducting the regular tuberculosis clinic In Jackson county. Assistance was again given in conducting the clinic for crippled children. These ac tivities have been on the health association program for years and will be continued. Needed supplies for the Alex Sparrow Memorial clinic are fre quently furnished by the health association. During the past year new blinds were purchased. Plans are being made for fur nishing other needed equipment. More money will be needed the coming year for demonstra tion nursing, rehabilitation and probable dental costs, the asso ciation's new budget reveals. The association is supported in part by the Medford Community Chest and War fund. TO AMERICAN WOMEN ASKING "Will Defeat of Germany Lessen the Need for Saving Used Fats?" THI GOVERNMENT ANSWERS "NO!" IT"" ..""""""l , -a LIS MARSHALL ON THE contrary, Mrs. America, the need for saving used cooking fats will be as great or greater than ever. Victory over Germany still leaves the Japs in possession of the Dutch East Indies, the Philippines and Malaya coun tries from which we formerly im ported about one billion pounds of fats and oils each year. Even victory over Japan will not ease the situation immediately. Not for a year or more can these areas be brought back to pre-war production levels. In the meantime, the need for your used fats will be as acute as ever for these reasons! 1 Even after European victory, we itill hir Jipin to beat.

But dur ing the next 12 months, because of a smaller hog kill and reduced yields of some oil-seed crops, we expect that approximately a billion-and-a-third pounds less of fats tn' be produced. Need Greater Than Ever Therefore, more than ever, talvag Ing used cooking fats is an important resource on which the country must continue to lean in order to tide us over. Saving used fats is not a glamorous task. It takes effort. But if is one that only you, the American housewife, can perform for the country.

Holmes Ashland, three nephews and three nieces, including Clar ence Homes, Ashland Miss Louise Homes Ashland, and Mrs. Bessie McKenzie of Medford. Ashland, Oct. 2 Funeral serv ices were held this afternoon for Susanne Homes Carter, well known Ashland citizen and for mer county school superintend ent, who passed away here Fri day. The service was at the Lit willer Funeral chapel, with the Christian Science church in charge. Mrs. Carter came to Ashland in 1889 with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred C. Homes, Sr., and in subsequent years mem bers of the family became lead ers in church and civic activi ties. The deceased was educated in the Ashland schools and at the Southern Oregon College of Education, then known as the Southern Oregon Normal school, where she graduated in 1896. Later she attended the Univer sity of California for a short time. Teaching first in the Ashland schools, Mrs. Carter then went to Alaska and taught there for a time. Upon her return to Jack son county she was elected county school superintendent and held that position for 12 years. Her terms in office were considered most successful, one of her chief programs being an attempt to raise standards in the rural schools. Mrs. Carter was born May 18, 1876, in Waverly, 111. She is sur- PEAR PICKING TO END ABOUT OCT. 15 The pear harvest Is expected by fruit men to be completed around October 15 but packing will continue until first of the year, due to the Christmas gift package business. Packing houses report a shortage of experienced packers still prevails. Charles A. Wing shipped the first carload of this season's ap ples to San Francisco over the week-end, and has three or more cars to ship to California points. The apples are dispatched to trucks, with a capacity of 800 boxes, the same as a box car. Wing estimates the corp will run about 40 to 45 cars, about twice last year's production. Threshing is about completed both gain and seed. County Agent Robert G. Fowler has started sealing clover seed, re cently threshed. The less than normal crop of tomatoes is expected to be off the vines before October 10, the accepted date for the coming of the first heavy frost.

Washington To help our many customer-friends and distributors, ve make ' this second Del Monte report on canned fruit and vegetable prospects In just the last few weeks since we last reported to you on canned fruit and vegetable prospects three important things have happened: the War Food Administration has In creased percentages of several Items to be set aside for military use. weather has definitely cot down a number of pack estimates. the manpower situation has become more difficult. That is why Del Monte, a9 the lead ing canner of fruits and vegetables, is continuing to issue this wartime series of reports. During this emergency, all of us must work together. Only with knowledge of what lies ahead can any housewife intelligently plan her shopping or understand the prob lems facing her grocer. Fruit Situation Tight Peaches are a good example of what can happen to a canning crop. Pros pects were good for a bumper yield of fresh peaches in California, when itretches of extremely hot weather natured the fruit so fast that canner es could not handle the full crop with available manpower, This cut down the whole industry's pack. Though we had hoped to do bet ter, it now looks as if the total national pack this year will be only about aver age, or slightly over average at best, A month ago, the industry knew the government's requirements for canned peaches would be very heavy. Since then, the Quartermaster's Department has upped its quotas still further. This means that supplies for civilians will be materially less than last year, On pears, while the pack turned out better than early estimates and will probably exceed last year's, govern ment needs are larger also, and the amount of canned pears on your gro cer's shelves will be very small, The industry hopes to "put up" slightly more fruit cocktail than last year but quotas for our fighters have also grown so again, it means less of this popular fruit at your grocer's. Del Monte Pineapple and Pineapple Juice will be still scarcer than last year. Pineapple is a two-year crop. The drought of 1943 meant that we were not able to pack a normal amount in 1944 in spite of a favorable ripening season. Military requirements have also been increased. The good news in the fruit picture is apricots. A bumper crop resulted in the largest pack on record. Though military wants are twice as great as in 1943, you can expect as many Del Monte Apricots as you ever did, In total, fruits will be available to civilians in very limited quantitiess Total Civilian Vegetable Supply About 20 Less On vegetables as on fruits re member that we are telling the story of total supply and what is likely to happen on the home front if present military demands continue. However, this picture could radically change on vegetables if the government reduced quotas out of this year's pack, or released substantial quantities from reserves. In our last report, we estimated that the industry's pack of canned peas would be less. Now we know the amount available for civilians will be about a fifth less than last year, The government quota on corn has not increased. But the total crop was smaller and the supply for civilians will be considerably less than last year. Asparagus production slightly ex ceeded last year. Military needs also increased, so the civilian supply is ap proximately the same as last season. It is expected that the supply of green beans will be slightly less. We had hoped to have good news on beets and carrots. But the armed forces asked the industry to supply them with three times as many car rots as last year, and twice as many beets. So even if packers succeed in producing a much larger volume, civil ians won't see as many as last year, The canned tomato pack will not be completed before the end of October, However, it now appears that it will be less than last year. Consequently the amount available for home consump tion will be materially less because the government has almost doubled its requirements. On the whole, the civilian supply of canned vegetables apparently will be about one-fifth less than last year, bar ring reduction in government quotas or release from its reserves. But wfiutever Pel Monte Products are available, you shou'd be able to get your share of them. As we said before, Del Monte Foods will be apportioned to distributors throughout the country on a fair and square basis. This has been our policy ever since the war began, Del Monte deliveries are also spread throughout the year, so you can usu ally expect to find at least some varie ties of Del Monte Fruits and Vege tables at your grocer's. You have a right to your share of, these Del Monte Foods, so don't hesi tate to ask for them. If you can't find just the one you want, you may still find some other Del Monte variety that will serve your purpose. That's one advantage of learning how to "switch and swap" within the Del Monte line. Del Monte packs so many different products, that no mat ter which varieties happen to be short, you can choose any other Del Monte Food your grocer has and always be sure of the same quality and flavor. Your Grocer's Troubles Aren't Over You can easily see, too, that all your grocer's problems are not solved. Re member that a leading brand like Del Monte is always the first to be taken from his shelves. Don't blame him for, shortages and inconveniences. Your cooperation is still needed to help everyone in the food industry do a better job for you and for the servicemen fighting for you.
