The statement fol lows: We, the people of Jackson county, can be proud of having created a service unlike any oth er in existence the non-profit, Mercy Flights Air Ambulance service. This recognition is not con fined to our own county, but has been publicized in many news papers and trade journals throughout the western states. In addition, through the serv ices which it has rendered in its short life of three months, Mer cy Flights has gained recogni tion by the United States air force. Air Fore Praises In a recent coast-wide radio program produced by the air force, the organization was praised as being the answer to one of the primary needs of com munities in remote sections of the country. This the air force can readily appreciate, as it has men working 24 hours a day in the air evacuation branch, des perately trying to meet all of the requests for emergency air trans portation of sick and injured persons in "out of the way" com munities. Obviously, if it were possible and practical, the best solution wauui to vcr t'na a r rcrco tt station an ambulance aircraft at every available airport in th re mote sections of our country. However, inasmuch as this is not the primary function of the air force, and cannot be done (or maintained in time of war), our interests can best be served by making it a community project as we have done here. Two Flights Made Our aircraft, a twin engine Cessna appropriately named "Rogue Wings o' Mercy," was Dlaced in service in January and has since made two emergency flights to Portland. One of the patients was a Medford woman, while the other was a man from North Bend. (Although it is not the intent to handle cases orig inating outside Jackson county, no other aircraft could be found anywhere in the state.) In addition, the Mercy Flights organization has arranged for two other evacuations (both chil dren) by air force aircraft one before our own aircraft was MR.

In this respect, be cause of recognition by the air force for the job we are trying to do, they will consider anv re- quest from Mercy Flights suffi cient, in lieu of the usually re quired telephone clearance from wasmneton. u. (J. Thus, the onlv delay will be in flying the air craft to Medford. Pilota' Recommendation When the Mercy Flights or- eanization was first conceived, it was our belief that the twin engine Cessna type aircraft was the most suitable and economical for the job we would have to do. After actually "putting the ship to work," we still believe it is (especially since the next larger sized aircraft would cost $15,000 or more, and we have only $3,200 invested in this one). However, in the interests of safety and dependability, our pi lots have recommended that a change be made in our present aircraft. Their suggestion is that the present 245 ri. P. Jacobs en gines be replaced with 300 H. P. Lycomings. They feel that the higher horsepower will give a better safety factor for operation at night and in bad weather. As this recommended engine change may some day be a factor in saving a life, we consider it a must item. However, it will nec essarily be the response of the Jackson county residents which will be the deciding factor. Hound the ciock There is only one company on the coast which handles the Ly coming conversion, and their usual price for the job is $1,685, which includes two completely rebuilt engines. However, through a special arrangement with this company, and also due to the fact that our own mechan ics will make the conversion .the total cost will onlv be $1,200. For this additional amount, the aircraft can be flown with the highest possible safety factor. day or night, or in any weather except where icing is present. Actually, this is tne only way that the organization can serve to the fullest extent of its capa bilities. Of the four cases we have handled, three have arisen at night. You be the judge, and let us serve you around the clock. Remember, your ambulance plane stands ready to serve you todav. There has never Been a better one available to the people of our county, but let's make it the best. Donations may be sent to "Mercy Flights, Medford, Ore." Testimony Heard in Two Civil Court Suits All testimony has been heard in two oivil cases being tried in county circuit court this week and time has been granted for the parties to file briefs.

Hanna has granted the plaintiff 30 days to file a brief and the defendants another 30 days to file an ans wer.

Great, not in the ways of a political or industrial leader; not In the ways of a hero, or a mili tary chieftain, but great in the hearts of all the DeoDle that knew him. The old Odd Fellows hall over flowed with the many who in deep respect had left their work and come from far and near. The procession of cars to the ceme tery was two miles long busi ness in the town was at a stand still. A sign on the leading gro cery store voiced the sentiments of all. It read, simply: "Will be closed this afternoon in memory of Al Nutson." In the friendship and respect of all who knew him Al Nutson achieved his own greatness.
