Four house seats still were un decided two in Missouri, one in California and one in Pennsyl vania. Also on the yet-to-be-decided list was a senate seat from Missouri, in a race which probably will not be decided de finitely until all soldier votes are counted. A partial count of service votes since last Friday had whittled from 9,000 to 4,0H votes the lead of Republican For rest C. Donnell over Democrat Roy McKittrick.

ASHLAND SURPASSES QUOTA IN WAR FUND Ashland, Nov. 15 Frank E. Thompson, Ashland chairman national war fund campaign, re ported today that a total of $4, 750.15 had been ratseri In thl city, far over the $4,000 quota assigned Asniana. A vigorous attack upon "ca lamity howlers who base con versation on frenzv instead of j fact," was voiced by Rilea W. Doe, vice president of Safeway Stores, Oakland, Cal., in an ad dress Tuesday noon before the Medford Rotary club. Speaking at the Hotel Medford upon the subject, "Objectives for Good Citizens," Doe emphasized the need today for enlightened and intelligent cooperation with the military and pointed out the benefits that can result from the crisis today in lessons of frugality and sacrifice. Citizens were urged to join the "all American" team of 130 million people to hasten victory and as sure lasting peace. With the sober reminder that it costs $125,000 to kill one man in today's great conflict, the speaker emphasized the fact that modern war is too expen sive from purely economic standpoint. Must Pay Price ' Although the war cost this nation $90 billion during the past fiscal year, Doe reminded that "we don't question the doctor's bill when a loved one is desperately ill." Americans must willingly pay the price for victory and the very life of their country. In lauding the magnificent achievement of American pro duction the speaker pointed out that we now produce a fighting plane every ten minutes and a cargo ship is launched every six hours. National morale is built behind the doors of our own homes and "doubt stories" im pair our entire war effort and tear down morale. America produces 100,000,000 tons of steel a year to Japan's 8,000,000; 40 million barrels of oil to every one for Japan. We have 60 per cent of the world's war industries, 65 per cent of the naval units, 70 jer cent of the world's merchant marine, 75 per cent of the transport and commercial planes and 60 per cent of the fighting planes in the. entire world a tribute to America's great productive ca pacity. Selfish Scored Doe scored selfish pressure groups that put personal gains ahead of victory and bickering labor leaders who ,seek wage advantages at the expense of war production. The rank and file of labor will not favor ,the strike record during this war, he said in reminding that citi zens must be prepared to an swer to their returning soldier sons for their wartime effort at home. R. W. Flnlay, director of la bor relations for Safeway Stores, San Francisco, and T. M. Med ford, district Safeway manager of Klamath Falls, attended the meeting. i . G. H. Murray, field "off leer for the Red Cross at Camp White In a brief address at Tues day's Rotary meeting urged pub- lie cooperation in a movement to bring Christmas to men at the Camp White station hospi tal. A plan is underway for citizens of this community to provide gifts for all men in the camp hospital. The fullest cooperation of the Medford Ro tary club was assured in the program. Sadie Hawkins Day Party To Be Held, MarKade Tonight Tonight GI Joes and Daisy Maes will stage a Sadie Hawkins Day party at the MarKade on North Oakdale avenue. A little doubt existed as to whether Sadie Hawkins Day has passed or not, but the director and host esses decided that since Lll Ab ner and Pappy of comic strip fame aren't caught yet, the theme wasn't out-dated. The dance is scheduled for 8 p. m. and the director states that costumes are optional. Clotlni tlmt lui Clualfted ads . m. TOO uu to cuuunr, 1240 o. m XMAS o JUST RECEIVED!
