Plans Made To Distribute Surplus Food In Louisiana Baton Rouge, La. (UP.) The government made plans Satur day to distribute tons of surplus food free to thousands of ' poverty-stricken rural families in Louisiana. State officials said 76,000 sharecroppers, tenant farmers, laborers and their families have been qualified to share in the first shipment of 100 train car loads of the government surplus food. Welfare workers said new cases of needy families are still going on the records and the total may swell to 100,000 by the target date of first distribu tion of the food during the week of Jan. 23. "I have been in the welfare business many years," one state welfare official said, "and I don't know what those people are living on. .Exisiting On Flour "Some of them are exisiting on little sacks of meal and flour and what little credit they have remaining. There have been cas es of mothers having to mix flour and water for baby food." Officials said the conditions resulting from two years of bad crops have become "close to critical" in Red River, Grant and Natchitoches parishes (coun ties). Great numbersof the cases are cropping out in Calcasieu and St. Landry parishes in extreme southwest Louisiana as well, it was reported. Speedy Action Directed Gov. Robert Kennon ordered the state welfare Department to investigate each applicant for the free food as quickly as pos sible and said Commissioner Ed ward P. Dameron "is doing a fine job." Dameron said the first ship ment has been ordered through Court Records POLICE COURT Jack William Lewis, violation of basic rule. $10. Clayton J. Neitzel, violation of basic rule. S10. Eugene E.

Dameron said rice now in storage in Crowley and Lake Charles probably will be com bined with the shipment from out of the state. The federal government is supplying the food without cost, and the state Welfare Depart ment allocates it to the parishes cn application of the parish gov erning bodies, who pledge to finance storage and distribution. Loggers Required To File Reports Of Removed Timber Logging operators in Jackson county must file a report prior to March 3 of merchantable timber severed or removed dur ing 1955 for commercial use from real property subject to assessment by the state. Reports must be filed in com pliance with an act which went into effect last August, Andrew Hawver, assistant county asses sor, reminded owners of mer chantable timber. The report must include a legal description of the property from which merchantable timber was removed or severed. If only a portion was cut, a statement of the best estimate of merchant able timber by species remain ing uncut on described property must be reported. Reports must be signed by the owner or an agent, the act specifies. Hawver said forms reporting merchantable timber severed or removed are available at the assessor's office. Filed with Assessor Reports must be filed with the assessor in the county in which the property is located. In cases where property extends into two or more counties, reports must be filed with each assessor in counties involved. Merchantable timber includes logs, poles and piling, accord ing to the act, and owner means the owner of merchantable tim ber removed. Hawver reminded operators that persons who knowingly file a report which is false or in correct in any material respect are guilty of perjury, and failure to file within the prescribed period of time constitutes a mis demeanor. Reports must be filed by March 3 the year following the calendar year during which merchantable timber is severed or removed. Issuing New Phone Directories To Siarl Tomorrow Recreational activity on Rogue river is depicted in an artisfs sketch on the front cover of new telphone directories which will be delivered to Pacific Tele phone company subscribers in the Medford area starting to morrow. The sketch is copied from a picture provided by the state highway commission, and shows a family camped near a bend in the river. Initial delivery will total 15, 455 directories, according to J. H. Creager, telephone manager. They will go to subscribers in Medford, Central Point, Phoenix, Jacksonville and Gold Hill. Of the total, some 12,819 copies will be delivered in person by Products Development corpora tion employees. The rest will be mailed, Creager said. Customers in Ashland and Talent will receive the same directory, but with a different cover. Festival Scene The Elizabethean theater, site of the Oregon Shakespearean Festival, is shown on the cover of Ashland and Talent direct ories, Creager said, along with an artist's sketch of two char acters from the "Merchant of Venice." The sketch was copied from an original drawing done some 500 years ago in London by an unidentified artist. It was loaned to the company's art de partment by the Portland public library. Some 3,032 Ashland-Talent di rectories will be delivered in person, and 797 mailed, Creager said. Larger by 20 pages than last year's directory, the Medford Ashland book has 72 pages of alphabetical listings, and 168 pages in the yellow-page class ified section. A total of 27,000 directories were printed by Met ropolitan Press of Portland, with 22,000 for Medford and 5,000 for Ashland.

In all cases where the veter an's property has been destroyed or damaged, or where periods of unemployment, exist because of the flood, the veteran should seek relief from the lender hold ing the present loan, Langdon said. VA regulations allow lenders wide discretion in extending in- dulgence to veterans whose homes and employment have been affected, by making ad vances on existing GI loans and granting time extensions in which to make payments. Langdon said that , it is too early to appraise the damage, or the number of veteran-families who will need rehabilitation.

NOT ENOUGH TEACHERS Vermillion, S.D. (U.R) Dr. M. W. Delzell, dean of the school of education at the University of South Dakota, said the place ment bureau received notices of 1,692 positions for secondary school teachers and 882 for ele mentary teachers between Sept. 1, 1954 and Sept. 1, 1955. The university was able to supply only 120 candidates. An estimated 4,100,000 motor vehicles were scrapped in 1954.

New location OREGON ADJUSTMENT BUREAU Now 518 E. Main Phone 3-5448 Washington (U.R) The Pub lic Health Service Friday re leased 1,017,531 shots of Salk polio vaccine to the states and territories for public agencies and commerical outlets. It also reallocated 40,500 shots of unused vaccine from Louis iana. The new allocation, 11th under the voluntary control pro gram, brought to 30,979,36Z tne number of shots released since April when the vaccine was cleared as safe. States and territories have been granted 16,845,399 shots. The National Foundation for In fantile Paralysis received 13,- 571,223 shots. Another 562.74U shots were distributed commer cially before the control pro gram was set up. Oregon Allocated The allocated vaccine included 10.197 cc's for public and com- merial release in Oregon. Wash ington received 15,795 shots. Portland (U.R) Oregon par- rents Saturday were warned that time is short to obtain immun ization from polio for their chil dren before this year's summer polio season. Dr. Charles E. Price, of San Francisco, regional consultant to the National Foundation for In fantile Paralasis, said January, February and March were the months Salk anti-polio shots should be taken so that immun ization can be developed by sum mer. Now that last year's polio sea son is over, Dr. Price said, there was "a little bit of lethargy and false feeling of security" among parents. 'Unwise' For Reds To Attack Formosa Taipei (U.R) It would be "most unwise" for Red China to launch an attack against For mosa at this time, U. S. Air Force Secretary Donald A. Qaur les said Saturday. " I am optimistic of our free world air power compared to that the Communists could mount against us," Quarles said at a news conference shortly before leaving for Manila, Bang Kok and Saigon. He said it would be unneces sary for the U.S. to try to match the Reds plane-for-plane in the Formosa area because "this is a part of our global position and they know it." The air force secretary said his short visit to Formosa in cluded two days of "frank . and cordial" talks with Generalis simo Chiang Kai-shek. ' He said he agreed with the Chinese Nationalist leader that it would be unnecessary to train Nationalist Chinese pilots in the use of atomic weapons at this time, although the Nationalists now have F-84 Thunderjet fight-ter-bombers capabale of carry ing the atomic bomb.
