overseas. She is known as Taffy,

in Medford.

such as the local setup, into 130
new area Price Control Boards,
mainly to effect an economy.
Under this system, a Price
Control Board will be continu
ed in Medford, but the Ashland
and Grants Pass offices will be
closed, with Medford controlling
a large southern Oregon area.
Offices will also be continued
in Roscburg and Klamath Falls.

A two-fold program to bring
Christmas to the serviceman
whether he be on the high seas
or in the Camp White Naval
Hospital is being worked out
by the Jackson County Camp
and Hospital Committee of the
Red Cross, according to Mrs.
Leonard Carpenter, chairman.
A letter, mailed to over 500
organizations and individuals
during the past week urging
their cooperation, read in part:
"At the Camp White Navy
Hospital there are still men,
wounded in our service, who
will not be able to be home for
Christmas. Let's do something
for them. We can't bring them
to our homes but we can take
Christmas to them. Won't you
as an organization and as in
dividuals make this your Christ
mas project? This year too, we
want to send gifts to the men
on the high seas. These men are
leaving the United States to
spend two or three years in the
army of occupation. Their gifts
will be wrapped here and sent
to embarkation centers and de
livercd to them C h r i s t m a
morning."
November 23 and 24 have
been named receiving days at
the court house auditorium. Red
Cross workers will be on duty
from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. to re
ceive, wrap, and tag gifts. List
of acceptable gifts will be dis
played in store windows and
printed in the newspaper.

TO EYE TORNADO
A visitor in Medford Friday
and Saturday was Gil Lieser,
director of publicity for Wil
lamette university, who accom
panied Al Lightner, Salem
sports editor, who officiated the
Medford-Ashland football game
Friday.
Coming to Medford to see the
highly touted Medford Torna
does in action, Lieser stayed
overnight as a guest of Mr. and
Mrs. Al Simpson, as did Light
ner. Mr. Lieser, discussing post
war plans of Willamette univer
sity, said housing conditions in
Salem are not too bad for vet
erans returning to continue their
education. He stated that up to

not had to turn away any veter

Mr. Lieser expressed confi
dence that the new men's dormi
tory for which funds are being
solicited this year nd upon
which work will begin next
spring, will solve much of the
housing problem by providing
living accomodations for single
men, some of whom are now in
quarters that could be occupied
by ex-servicemen with families.

We, who faced the sacrifice and sufferings of war, now head into Peace with the same high courage. We have only to
think of our martyred dead and their bereaved, we have only to be reminded of the single-hearted purpose for
which these heroes bled. Victory has but deepened our responsibilities. Out of this memory of war's
anguish and in a renewed declaration of our faith and pride in the World Peace for which all America
fought, emerges our Pledge for this Armistice Day of 1945.
We pledge to Peace and to its principles, the same fervent devotion which fired our war aims.
We pledge continued dedication to our democracy and its preservation in Peace as in
War ... no matter how great the struggle.
We pledge an unwavering vigilance against any possible forces of aggres
sion and oppression, both at home and abroad. '
We pledge to Peace a fulfillment of the promises made in war ... a
safe, sound America where man can live in dignity . . . free .
from fear and want.
We pledge to work and build as we never worked and
built before, that Civilization may rise to new
heights of glory.
We pledge to invest in permanem
World Peace by buying Victory
Bonds . . . regularly, gladly.
