Hicks, county CD director. He spoke at a meet ine of the Medford American Legion post. General Hicks illustrated the U.S. position in Europe under the NATO program and told of experiences in France after World War II when he was in charge of a base installation under the NATO program. General Hicks pointed out that the Communist organiza tion in France is very strong and exerted resistance and sab otage in the establishment of the base. He outlined some of the needs in the defense program in Jack son county and stressed the need of spotters in the Ground Observation corps, especially on the night shifts. The general explained that two hours a week was all that is required of in dividuals and asked that anyone who can spare that time get in touch with him in the court house. Business transacted at the meeting included a preliminary report of the finance and budget committee. The report showed that if the Legion and commun ity programs were to be ac complished there would be a deficit of $1,000. The importance of the full program was discussed and the group was of the unanimous opinion that the necessary funds should be raised to offset the de ficit.
