HEALTH ASSN. 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.

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!

American farmers are doing every
thing possible to build up domestic
production of fats and oils. 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. We ask you
to continue the wonderful job you are
doing to help speed final Victory.

LAST RITES HELD
FOR IS. CARTER,
vlved by one brother T. C.
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.

RH0DIUS PERFUME

950 Second Avenue
Sales Agency
Seattle 4. 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.
