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.

"She stood up better under
the circumstances than a lot of
men I was in service with," he
said.
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.-

Cyzewzskis put after their boat

Red Cross Nursing
Service Gets Aid
From UMC Drive
(Editor's note: This is anoth
er in a series of stories about
agencies which benefit from
the United Medford Crusade.
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.

New Domiciliary Care Plan
Outlined for Rotary Club
The "new look" in domiciliary
care of veterans at Camp White
and the 17,000 members of V.A.
homes throughout the U.S. was
outlined by Eugene K. 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.

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.

Fire Squad's Rescue Car
Blazes at Least Excuse
North Platte, Neb.' (U.R)
Members of the fire depart

they shudderand pray each time
an alarm comes in.
The ambulance they use is of
1920 vintage, and they never
know when it will burst into
flames as it is started.
. It caught fire when called to
an emergency at a football game
last fall, and again more recent
ly on another rush call.
The city is attempting to get
enough donations, to pay for a
new $3,000 unit.
If You Catch
More Than One
Cold A Winter
Here's how to relieve suffer
ing fast! Use Vicks VapoRub
-the proved medication that
works two ways at once.
When you rub it on, Vapo
Rub quickly relieves muscular
soreness. At the same time,
VapoRub's medicated vapors
bring relief with every breath.
Soothing medication travels
deep into the nose, throat and
large bronchial tubes. Con
gestion starts breaking up.
Coughing eases. Warming re
lief comes, lasts for hours.
So when colds strike, always
depend on Vicks VapoRub!
