Gives Free Meals ' Noting that the Salvation Army in the last ten years had .provided 100,000,000 free meals, or the equivalent of one meal for more than half of the coun try's population, National Com . mandcr Donald McMillan this week reaffirmed the Salvation Army"s twin goals of physical regeneration and spiritual re birth of the nation's unfor tunates. ; The Salvation Army's , em phasis has been on spiritual help to the lowest-income segment of the population since it began in New York in 1880, Cmdr. Mc Millan said. He added that last year Saivauon Army officers and soldiers conducted indoor re ligious services attended by 18, 657.423 persons. One Salvationist service, known to many people because of the red trucks which call reg ularly at homes to pick up dis carded furniture and clothing, is provided by the Men's Social Service centers. Last year an op portunity for self-help was pro vided in such centers to 42,987 men, Cmdr. McMillan pointed out. Local Missing Persons Another Salvation Army serv ice, in which the organization co operates with the police and other authorities, is that of lo cating missing persons. Cmdr. McMillan said last year 1,500 lost persons were located in an swer to picas to the Army from relatives and friends. Some of these were among the 2Vi mil lion homeiess or transient men and women who were given lodgings in Salvation Army institutions. Chamber Roundtable Asks Reinvestigation Or Dear Creek Route a i . . : . i : " : i i i i -i l e A resolution asking a reinves tigation of the feasibility of the j . proposed Bear Creek route for "a new Highway 99 freeway was - passed by those attending the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce roundtable meeting in the Jackson hotel. The investigation requested will be handled by the cham ber's board of directors. Pur pose of the Bear Creek reinves tigation will be to offer a com promise for those objecting to the proposed Hillcrest and Gen- essee routes, it was reported : Adopts Waiting Policy Otto Ewaldsen, president of the chamber, reporting the. find ings of the highway committee on the proposed freeway routes, said the chamber has adopted a "waiting policy" because of' the lack of evidence for superiority of either the Hillcrest or Gene see routes. He said the highway committee will recommend no route until a more detailed in vestigation has been completed on the proposed freeway routes. The aviation committee, Ewaldsen said in a further re port on chamber activities, has made arrangemetns to con fer with Southwest airlines at tempting to get an early morn ing flight from Medford to San Francisco. The aviation commit tee has also been questioning Oregon private pilots to see if there is any deficiency at the Medford airport, he said. The Agriculture committee, he 4-H Club News Ruch Livestock Club The Ruch 4-H livestock club met at the home of Ed Fossen Monday with Noel Dunlap, presi dent, presiding. The group ap proved a stall sign for the coun ty 4-H fair which was designed 'by Shirley Dunlap. There was discussion of projects by individ uals. Members enjoyed swim ming in the Fossen pool 'after the meeting. With the close of school, meet ings will be held at members' homes, the next one to be with Lona Buffington June 3. said, has been expanded to func tion as a forestry and agricul ture committee, and is now working on plans for June Dairy month, Ewaldsen said.

Director - Chamber Seeking Information on Tax Structure Effect The Jackson County Chamber of Commerce is soliciting infor mation about what effect Ore gon's tax structure has on the plans of individuals, it was re ported this week. The information it receives will be forwarded to the legis lative interim committee on taxation, which is studying taxes and their possible effects on peo ple coming to, or leaving, Ore gon. The chamber has sent out letters to individuals who, it has been reported, may be con sidering moving from the state because of the combination of income and property taxation. It has received some replies which wil be sent to the tax committee. Others Invited Others having views on the subject are invited to present "them in writing to the chamber, which will see the tax commit tee receives .them. The letter which the chamber has sent to various individuals says, in part: '"Many have felt that Oregon's tax structure may cause the re location of individuals or indus trial enterprises outside the state boundaries. The interim committee has been able to ac quire little proof on which to base a ' belief that this is the case. Would you say that recent tax increases in Oregon are suf ficiently serious to cause a re view' in your thinking with re gard to future residence in this state? As a resident of Oregon, if the present tax situation con tinues, would this factor tend to limit your continued invest ment in ' business enterprises within the state boundaries?" Guidance to persons having domestic and other problems was given last year by the Army's Family Service bureaus to 324,039 individuals. Aid in Disasters Assistance in disasters such as floods, storms, fires and wrecks is being provided on a nationwide scale by the Salva tion Army. The organization co operates with other organiza tions in such disasters, partic ularly in the operation of its fleet of mobile canteens, Cmdr. McMillan said. Records of the Salvation Army for 1955 show that women of the Army's League of Mercy visited more than two million persons in hospitals and homes for the aged, and that spiritual leader ship and recreational opportuni ties were offered to almost four million boys and girls in Salva tion Army youth centers.
