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

food to the hungry, regardless
of race or creed. 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." VFW Auxiliary

To Ponder
Sales Tax
Whether the organization will
support a state sales tax will be
a major consideration of 160
delegates to. the representative
council of the Oregon Education
association who will meet in the ;
Lincoln high school auditorium
on March 2 and 3. Purpose of
the annual session is to deter
mine the policies of organiza
tion for the coming year, which
will affect current issues of key
importance to Oregon's school
program, kjsla x-resiaem iviis. j
Antonia Crater of Newberg will
preside at the session.
The council is the governing
body for the organization, . a
statewide professional associa
tion for educators, which counts
in its ranks some 12,600 or 85
of all Oregon teachers. "
Attending the meeting: from
Jackson county will be Mrs.
Maxine Smith, Medford, presi
dent of the Department of Class
room Teachers, OEA; Mrs. Gert
rude Holmes, Roland Harley,
Neil Richardson- and .- Elmer
Fleming, all Medford; Richard
Leigh and John Stuckey, Ash
land; Mrs.,Kathryn Stancliffe,
Phoenix; Mrs: Frances Willett,
Central Point-and Mrs. Viola
Pomeroy, Eagle Point.
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. Another recom
mendation will ask the OEA to
favor general f ederf.1 aid to pub
lic education without federal
control.
A recommendation for amend
ment of the state minimum sal
ary law for teachers will be
presented. It would seek an in
crease of $400 in the present
state minimum teacher salary
law. . ':
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. Another considera
tion will be the recommendation
of the economic welfare com
mittee that the present March
15 hiring law be altered to re
quire school boards to provide
teachers ' and administrators
with written reasons for dismis
sal. Meeting Planned -
By
Phoenix PTA .
Phoenix Phoenix Parent-
Teacher association will meet
Thursday, March 1, at 2:45 p.m.

an Irish folk dance under the

ing. Refreshments will be served

- Month Scheme
They pay a monthly fee for a
weekly floral surprise package.
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. '.
