Plans Started For
Rehabilitation Of
Flood Victims Here
Jackson county Red Cross
personnel and volunteers were
laying plans today for rehabilr
tation of several hundred fami
lies left homeless by Thursday's
flood.
Conditions at Rogue River
were termed "terrific" by Maj
Gen. Joseph Hicks, Jackson
county civil defense director. He
estimated 100 persons were
homeless at Rogue River, where
water badly damaged several
homes. About 200 were evacuat
ed at Shady Cove.
Most of the evacuees were
moved into homes of friends
and relatives and through Red
Cross assistance.
Losses Greater
Many residents in the Rogue
River area waited until too late
to move belongings from homes
in the flood's path, Hicks said
making losses much greater
than otherwise might have been
necessary.
"It is impossible to assess the
damage at the present time" he
said, "because we can't get
around to see it all."
Six resort cabins and one resi
dence at Shady Cove are known
to have been washed away and
civil defense workers at Rogue
River said several homes were
swept down the river.
Two centers for registration
for aid from Red Cross were set
up this morning, one at Advance
Plumbing shop, Rogue River,
and one in the Veterans of For
eign Wars hall, Shady Cove.
Disaster Worker Here
Red Cross officials said a pro
fessional disaster worker is be
ing sent from San Francisco to
assist in rehabilitation. About
100 persons were given assist
ance at the office yesterday, it
was reported, and the organiza
tion has had 24-hour feeding
operations going in both areas.
Food was sent yesterday by
jeep and boat to the Redwood
Manufacturing company across
the river at Rogue River to feed
about 100 persons stranded
there.
Guard Sends Trucks
To Aid Grants Pass
Nine National Guard vehicles
were sent from Medford to
Grants Pass last night for use
by Company C there in patrol
ing flooded areas.
Capt. S. J. Fagone of the
Guard here dispatched them un
der the command of Capt.
George C. Bennett, after receiv
ing a call for them from Bat
talion Commander Lt. Col. Don
ald Burke, who said they were
needed because of reports of
looting in flood-damaged resi
dential districts.
The Guard's volunteer rifle
team, assembled for shooting
last night, changed plans and
drove the vehicles to Grants
Pass instead. It took them al
most 2V2 hours to get there, via
the back road on the north side
of the river, fording flooded
spots in several places. The ve
hicles included two 214-ton
trucks, four jeeps and three
three-quarter ton trucks.
Louisville, Ky. U.R) An
obliging thief gave police here a
helping hand. He abandoned a
stolen car during a police chase
in front of the home of its owner,
Garnett H. Cowles.

Life-Size Toys
Pose Problem
For Santa Claus
New York U.R) Old Santa's
plagued with a new packing
problem this year.
It's those life-size stuffed ani
mals, some so big it is doubtful
whether they will fit in his pack
and certain they won't fit in
many living rooms.
"But the bigger they are, the
better they sell," said many of
the stores featuring them.
One Cleveland store told
United Press it put a stuffed, life
size pony in its window at $295,
never dreaming it would sell.
It did.
It's a race between the ele
phant and giraffe on which takes
up more space.
A Kansas City store featured
a baby elephant six feet tall and
seven feet long for $350. A San
Francisco store showed an im
ported stuffed elephant, eight
feet long, four feet high, made
of brushed wool and topped with
an orange canopied "sultan's
chair," priced at $350. A giraffe
from the same store stood nine
feet high, five feet long, and
cost $250.
Other life-size toys includo fa
liones and two cubs, available
in a Cleveland store, and a six
foot lion that roars, carries a
rose in its mouth and looks out
through rhinestone-studded eye
lashes, on sale in New York.
One Philadelphia store went
realistic in its animal offerings.
It advertised a live baby ele
phant "for the person who has
everything." Priced, $7,800; gift
wrapping charge, 25 cents.
At last report, there had been
no takers.
Sudden and extreme changes
of temperature may cause metal
cooking utensils to warp. Don't
run cold water into a hot pan,
nor pour hot water into a vessel
that's been chilled.
