TEN MEDFORD MAIL-TRIBUNE Sunday. Not. 11, 1945 0. S. MUST HELP REST OF WORLD, CHEST DRIVE LAGS FAR BEHIND QUOTA Klamath Publisher Tells C-C Forum Prosperous Isola tion Dangerous Attitude America can't continue as an island of plenty and prosperity in a sea of starvation and need and unless we make an honest effort to raise the rest of the world to a better standard of livine. we inevitably will be dragged down to the world level, declared Frank Jenkins, publisher of the Klamath Falls Herald and News, speaking at a forum meeting of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce Friday noon at the Holland hotel. Admitting that before the war he had been a "rabid iso lationist," Jenkins said he now believed that "the day is gone when this nation can live with in itself" and added that unless we provide the honest world leadership which this country alone is in a position to pro vide, we'll have to face the con sequences. Terrible Need Seen Dwelling on the "terrible need" for food, fuel and cloth ing in the European countries devastated by the war he said "if people living In this coun try could see Europe today, could see what happens to a na tion when production is stop ped, we would quit trying to 'get ours now' and buckle down to the problem of reconversion and start producing for a needy and starving world." The news paper publisher said we should "tighten our belts if need be" and make every effort to feed the starving nations since "the hatreds brought on by starva tion last a long time." Jenkins declared that a new defininltion for inflation was necessary to impress the peo ple of this country, adding that ho believed it was more nearly correct to say inflation is too little production, rather than too much money. "Everywhere in Europe people, with their pockets stuffed full of money, are dying of starvation," Jen kins said. "This type of disas trous inflation , inevitably fol lows war." Incentive Lost The speaker said It would be a full year, and probably two, before Europe could feed Itself since the people have lost the incentive to work, have no ma chinery left with which to oper ate and since highways and transportation systems are use less. Urging his listeners not to be misled by the "isms" of Europe, Jenkins said "Nazism was noth ing more than a racket. Every thing of value in Europe was in tile hands of individual Nazi party leaders of p o w c r." He added that during all his weeks in Germany he did not meet a single German who had any re gret for having started the war, but regret only for the fact that the war had been lost. "You could literally feel their hatred as they passed you in the streets," lie declared. With but $34,500 contributed to date in the 1945 Community Chest and national victory fund drive, workers face a shortage of $4,500 in the $40,000 quota. The figures were presented at a meeting of Community Chest board members and drive work ers held rnrtay noon at me Holland Hotel. "A close survey of contribu tion figures shows that the de ficit results from contributions In the smaller brackets, as compared with previous years," Otto Frohnmayer, chairman of the chest, stated following the meeting. "Records show that firms and individuals who con tributed large sums in past years have equalled or exceed ed their contributions, while smaller contributions are on the whole below the last few years. Frohnmayer said the board believed that this was due to the fact that fewer solicitors had been available, resulting in in complete coverage. "Unless In dividuals who have not been contacted volunteer their con tributions, such worthwhile or ganizations as the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts. Y.M.C.A., Jackson County Public Health associa tion, Girls' Community club and Salvation Army will be forced to operate on curtailed budgets next year,' 'the chairman said. He pointed out that these organ izations depend solely upon the Chest for their funds and that they are not permitted to solicit except through special arrangement with the Chest board. Present at (he meeting were Frohnmayer, Mrs. William Mc Allister, Mrs. Elwood Hedberg, Mrs. Harry Holmes, Allen Per ry, Mrs. John Moffat, Robert Norris, all board members, Mrs. V. W. Hammond, who has been keeping office records during the present campaign, and An thony Manno, in charge of down-town solicitation.

FRANK PERL The board of directors of the Medford Irrigation District, composed of Dr. George B. Dean, Jean Cameron, and David Holmes, together with J. M. bpencer, manager, has an nounced extensive plans for the betterment of the district's irri gation system. For the past two years, the director's announce ment said, the board has pointed towards a program of extensive improvements and changes in the system, and during this pe riod the necessary money has been accumulated with which to accomplish the work. Deailing the plans, the an nouncement continues: "The program of improving the higher mountain portion of the system, consisting of the canal between Four Mile Lake, the upper reservoir, and Fish Lake, was partially accomplish ed during the past year. A road along the entire length of the canal has been constructed, preparatory to lining with con crete a large section of this canal. The season during which this work can be carried out is limited to the interval between the completion of irrigation and the oncoming of winter, with a similar limited period In the spring of the year. "The Medford Irrigation Dis trict in conjunction with the Rogue River Irrigation District is also carrying out extensive improvements, which will sub stantially increase the capacity of the main canal between the intake and Bradshaw Drop, by reconstruction of flumes and lining of extensive portions of the canal. The siphon on the main canal at Yankee Creek is also being reconstructed. This work also was partially accom plished during the past year and will be completed during the coming year. "The plans also include ex tensive lining and bank im provements in the main canal below Phoenix. The district has just completed some 600 feet of lining on this portion of the canal and contemplates an ad ditional 200 feet during the com ing year. "The board is confident that these improvements in the sys tem will result in large saving! of water and in much more sat isfactory service to the land owners of the district. The work has been planned by Mr. Spen cer in such a manner as to co ordinate with the federal au thorities in case the Rogue Riv er project is carried out."
