TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) UN Chapter Supports Food Distribution Plan A plan whereby the govern ment of the United States will release a ton of surplus foods to relieve food shortages abroad in return ior every $10 contribut ed by American, citizens is back ed locally by the Medfbrd chap ter, United Nations' association. The plan was worked out in co operation with the internation ally known Friends Service committee, which will use . its world-wide facilities to distri bute the food. The Medford UN chapter has released a statement concerning the plan which reads as follows: "One of the most perplexing paradoxes to the sensitive per son today is the problem of Am erica's abundance as contrasted with food'scarcity in as many parts of the world. Our ever-in creasing storage of agricultural blessings is threatening to be come an embarrassment of rich es and the source of a feeling of guilt to Americans, who are credited with being among the most generous peoples on earth. "Many auggestione have been made as to how to make inroads on our surplus and to relieve the misery of those more unfortun ate than ourselves. However, just simply giving doesn't seem to be the answer, according to experts on world trade. These experts point out that the mal adjustments which would be brought about would increase, rather than decrease, the 'ten sions produced by unequal dis tribution of that most important good, adequate food. "Now, in the United States, we have stored up food in ex cess of $8,750,000,000 in value. The current estimate on storage also runs around a million dol lars a day. To relieve this ever swelling abundance, the govern ment has resorted to various measures, including donations abroad through voluntary agen cies, disaster relief , s c h o o 1 lunches, and domestic donations to needy persons. "Recently the United States government, in conjunction with volunteer workers of the Friends Service committee here and abroad, has offered to re lease a ton of food for the hun-1 gry two-thirds of the world for every $10 contributed by Amer; lean citizens. "This food includes wheat, corn, :butter, rice, barley, oats, . dried milk and cottonseed oil. The government pays for the transportation of this food to the point of distribution where the Quaker workers take over and direct the.distributon of the J V Spring 18 Only! f: J& FAMOUS MAKE r, iV SUITS JK ' .

The only quali fication is need. For every $10 contribution, about 2000 pounds of food finds its way from our swollen silos to the empty bellies of the starving. AH contributions are tax-exempt and can be mailed to the American Friends Ser vice committee, 1108 S.E. Grand avenue, Portland 14, Oregon. "The comparative value of what each $10 buys is powder ed milk, $340; cheese, $600; but ter, $900; butter-oil,. $1100, Where else can you get such va lue for $10? -"This seems to be the most ef ficient scheme worked out so far to share our abundance with those who are in desperate need of such help, and help ourselves to reduce our tax-ridden abun dance."

An important item to be de cided is OEA support of a sales tax which would make possible state support of 50 ox the ov erall current operating cost of public elementary and second ary education in Oregon. The delegate body will also consider placing the organization on rec ord in support of Senate Joint Resolution 4 which would per mit the legislature to attach the emergency clause to a tax meas ure. . . A recommendation submitted to the group by the OEA feder al legislation committee calls for OEA support of the passage of an emergency school building construction measure similar to the Kelly bill which is now "un der consideration in the United States Congress.

': Action will be taken by the group on a recommendation that the rural school district boards be replaced by a county educa tional board and that the coun ty school v superintendent be made an appointive officer in each county.

The idea, as so often happens, originated m three different minds at approximately the same time. "We thought," said one of the two young men responsible for one of the ventures, "that peo ple, here must be crying for some breath' of natural life." The two young men, one from California and one from Texas. pooled their time and money and set up "Flowers for Grac ious Living" six months ago. ; At approximately the same time Luther Greene, a producer of documentary films and a friend of Doris Duke, heard that Miss Duke had leftover flowers at her greenhouse in Somerville, NX "I got the idea- of charging people so much each month and sending them a box of flowers each week, whatever was in most plentiful supply that week," Greene explained. Miss Duke, who has contin ued the operation of the green house established at the Duke farm by her- father, agreed to let Greene try the plan. Too Popular It went so well they ran out of flowers, Green confessed, and had to start buying flow ers outside the farm to fill the orders. , In both cases, you take what the men decide is the best flow er or flowers of the week. Most of the customers live in Man hattan and don't set foot on a blade of grass from one month to the next. '.
