Uie Mail Tribune Want Ads A primary responsibility of every Red Cross chapter is to provide a well-rounded program of family service to members of the Armed Forces and their fam ilies, as well as to veterans and their dependents. Home Service is the program through which American Red Cross carries out this responsibil ity in every community. Emerg ency relief to civilians is pro vided in accordance with the chapter's ability, and then only by the standards of work pre scribed by the national organiza tion. Home Service in Jackson coun ty has carried out its obliga tions with the assistance of vol unteer social welfare aides who are required to take a standard course before they are allowed to do any case' work. The pro gram serves on a 24-hour basis with coverage seven days a week. This past year the Jackson county chapter spent $7,808.56 to carry out this program. Red Cross makes loansof the above amount expended only $699.00 was repaid. In addition to this $3,435.31 was spent in commun ication of military leave, request or extensions of leave, notifying servicemen of local family situa tions, illness, death, etc. In order to expedite service in these emergencies the chapter has given Jackson county pro tection by establishing home service contacts in Ashland, Ap plegate, Butte Falls, Central Point, Eagle Point, Gold Hill. Phoenix, Prospect, Trail, Shady Cove, Sams Valley, Jacksonville and Rogue River. Because there is only one chapter in Jackson county with all these communities to cover and many places difficult to reach, the Home Service respon sibility here' is an unusually heavy one. But, if messages come from overseas or any emergency develops in the mid dle of the night, the chapter is on call and feels responsible to give the fastest service possible to alleviate anxiety and worry in times of distress. The local Home Service pro gram is under the direction of Mrs. Frank Fairweather. It was determined that during the past year 967 different cases and re quests were handled, not includ ing hundreds of wires and phone calls, and more .than 800 hours of volunteer hours were given to assist the office in carrying out the necessary services. . The local chapter also collects clothing and maintains an emergency closet. Many families have received assistance in fcis matter during the past year.

NfW SIZt AVA11ABIE ONIY AT OtAlCRS IN THC (IIANKMCID) AtEA IOTT1EO UNDER AUTHORITY OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY IT THE MEDFORD COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY Stevenson Warns Of Serious Flaws In Prosperity Boom Stonewall, Tex. (U.P.) Three top Democrats pledged today that the party will not attempt to take political advantage of President Eisenhower's heart at tack. The three party leaders, Ad la i Stevenson, the 1952 presiden tial nominee; Senate Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson, and House f Speaker. Sam Rayburn, held a top-level conference at Johnson's ranch near here, where Johnson is himself recup erating from a heart attack. Stevenson and Rayburn arriv ed at the ranch shortly v before last midnight after Stevenson made a "non-political" talk to some 5500 students on the camp us of the University of Texas. Johnson said the President's attack would not result in any change in , Senate policy. Country Above Politics He said that as majority lead er, it was his intention for the Senate to act on the basis of what is best for the country and not on a partisan line. "I am not going to turn the Senate into a nominating con vention or make precinct cap tains out of the members even if I could, which I can't," John son told newsmen. 'Johnson insisted to newsmen that the meeting with Stevenson and Rayburn was a "no politics" affair. He suggested strongly by his remarks that Stevenson's over night visit to his ranch should not be interpreted as a political endorsement of the 1952 Demo cratic presidential nominee. A press conference with Ste venson and Rayburn was set up at the ranch later in the day. Rayburn indicated he and Ste venson would leave the Johnson ranch "fairly early" today for the return trip to Austin. Both indicated they would talk to reporters at that time. . Stevenson arrived in Dallas by plane yesterday from Chicago and went on to Austin where he touched on the nation's econ omy and foreign affairs in his speech before a cheering audi ence made up mostly of stu dents. Shivers Absent Gov. Allan Shivers, who was in Houston, was conspicuous by his absence just as he was when Democratic national chairman Paul. Butler visited Texas last June. Shivers led Texas into the Re publican column in 1952 for only the second time in history when Stevenson refused to back Tex as' claim to its tidelands. The Texas governor recently said in Chicago1 that he would not support Stevenson again if he is nominated. The party in Texas is still split wide open between Shivers' "Conservatives" and "Loyalists" who were faithful to the Demo crats in 1952. The Stevenson visit", following by a few months the visit by Butler, apparently is another effort to get Texas "straightened out" before next year. Stevenson, in his speech, warned that there are "serious flaws" in the nation's booming prosperity. He said he was not a "prophet of gloom" but that certain economic trends point to "trouble ahead" and the nation's leaders should talk less about how big the boom is and more about how to make it last Farmers Wanting Charging that "Farmers are not sharing at all in the good times," he said: "Their prices continue to fall while prices to consumers do not and the profits of manufacturers rise to unprecedented levels. In the past, such a trend has been an ominous warning of trouble ahead." He said other "flaws" - were the tremendous rise in install ment buying of autos and homes and the speculative boom on the stock market. Stevenson also mad a strong plea for continued economic and technical aid to underdeveloped areas abroad. He said the strug gle for these areas between free nations and the Communists was one that will have a profound effect on the future of mankind. It would be the worst of all ironies if we, the richest land in the world, should stand on the sidelines and watch this fateful struggle go against us by de fault," he said. - )WS, THE COCA-COU COMPANY "Coke" it a ng'aterad trade-mart.
