Honeymooners Saved From Florida Reef After Crash-Landing Miami (U.R) A honeymoon ing couple joked bravely today about their fears of thirst and starvation during a two-day sur vival ordeal on a tiny reef in the Florida Straits where their small plane had crash-landed. Joe K. Richards, 32, and his 19-year-old bride, Laura, were plucked from the narrow, bar ren reef known as North Elbow Coy by. the Coast Guard cutter, Ariadne, and brought to Miami Tuesday night m Richards, an atomic engineer from Portsmouth, O., said al though they never lost hope of rescue the cold nights and scarc ity of their food and water made it a "harrowing experience." Lt. Cmdr. S. P.- Berryman, skipper of the Ariadne, said he found ' them tired, hungry, thirsty and cold after subsisting on malt tablets and a four-ounce daily water ration. The couple, married Oct. 6 at Wellston, O., crash-landed on the reef Sunday afternoon ' on a flight to Key West from Havana, Cuba. They were sighted by a search plane Tuesday. "I had often told my wife I - would like to be stranded- with her on a deserted island but I hadn't planned on it exactly this way," Richards said when the cutter docked after a nine hour trip to Miami. ' ; Richards, a World War II pilot,- said his attractive wife was "wonderful" throughout the experience. The 2 rear wheels ?dig in" for FASTER STARTS, SHORTER STOPS.

Mrs. Richards admitted, how ever, that she felt "pretty ter rible" when they became lost and low on fuel after bucking 35-mile per hour winds during the trip over the straits. "I guess that, and when we came in to land, were our worst moments," she said. "But really, I wasn't too frightened." After a night's rest in a motel they planned to arrange to re turn to Ohio immediately, prob ably by commercial airliner. Richards said that when he pancaked to the wheels-up land ing after one trial pass at the island he had only two or three minutes of fuel left. He said he had no idea how he had gotten off course.- Man Refuses Reward For Duplicate Samaritan Act Beloit, Wis.

The material is furnished by the agencies themselves.) One of the hardworking branches of the Red Cross serv ice is the nursing service. Nationally, last year.1 an ave-i rage of 7,700 nurses each month gave volunteer service in dis asters, epidemics, in clinics and blood centers, and issued 315,- 000 certificates to those complet ing home nursing courses. In Jackson county there are 17 volunteer nurses, and they do an outstanding job when the bloodmobiles are here. Time is needed to collect blood, and. only a certain number can be handled each day. This number is limited by the number of nurses avail able to "process" the donors. Last year 36,000 nurses were enrolled for service under Red Cross. More than 1,080 nurse as signments were made in 30 ma jor disaster relief operations. These nurses served in emer gency medical stations, provid ing health supervision in shelters for the homeless. A total of 153, 000 persons were reached through group instruction. Red Cross has established Mother and Baby Care and Home Nursing in the schools as a required course. This program is under the direction of Mrs, Clark Anderson and last year 127 students received their cer tificates.' . Your Medford Crusade dona tions will help - maintain this service, and enable expansion if necessary in time of emer gency.

Ricker, manager of the Veterans Admin istration Domiciliary, Camp White, in a talk Tuesday before the Medford Rotary club. This new concept of . living, designed "to make members feel like they belong to the commun ity," was outlined at a luncheon meeting at the Jackson hotel. Year of Study The new program is the result of a year of study on the problem of providing the type of medical and home care for aging and aged veterans that will best en able them to lead useful, happy lives with a maximum of free dom from hospitalization. Every effort is being made to enable domiciliary members to enjoy the remaining years of their lives more fully, with ut most security and dignity, Ricker told Rotarians. Living quarters have been brought closer to the standards of a private home through the addition of drapes, spreads, lockers and furniture Authorized articles and services which members are unable to provide for themselves, including medical care and hospitalization if necessary, will be furnished. Most important fii the new pro gram, the speaker emphasized, is the initiation of rehabilitation measures designed to enable each disabled veteran to return to his community or, when this is not possible, to function at maximum capacity in domicili ary-living. As "some members regain self-confidence and are fully rehabilitated, it is probable that they may be employed by the VA as regular civil service employees if they qualify, or may seek employment, else where with the aid of the, state or U. S. employment services. Individual Plans The core of the program, Rick er said, is an activity planning board which will draw up an individual living plan for each member. Already the task of physical and medical evaluation has been completed upon which constructive assignments are based. Members are urged to ap ply for jobs around the VA home for which previous exper ience and training fit them, and modest salaries are provided. Of the more than 800 veterans at the Camp White Domiciliary, some 100 are in 'wheel chairs. It is obvious that all cannot be re turned to outside employment and community living, but the new program encourages those who cannot to accept disability realistically and make satisfac tory adjustment to group living in the domiciliary. To make this adjustment easier and more pleasant all military terms and procedures are being eliminated, The importance of the $1,500,- 000 operation at the Camp White domiciliary was briefly pointed out by Ricker. Approximately 95 cents of every tax dollar that the VA receives in any one year goes back to local communities in the form of cash or other benefits to veterans, their wid ows or orphaned children, while the remaining five cents covers the cost of salaries and other ex penses of the .VA in administer ing those benefits. 0 With POSITIVE TRACTION ON ICE . . .

During the past year $127,000 was spent at Camp White for meat and meat products, over $20,000 for fresh fruits and veg etables, nearly $50,000 for dairy products, and $50,000 for canned goods, flour, sugar, etc. In addi tion to other food items, $75,000 was spent for construction, over $87,000 for coal and $10,400 for drugs. Laundry, one of many services performed in this com munity, amounted to $57,500. The economic importance of the Camp White Domiciliary to the economic welfare of this area is obvious. Jack H. Wood, supervisor of the Rogue River National Forest and Rotary program chairman, introduced Ricker.
