Mayor Proclaims Salvation
Army Week Here May 20-27
The week of May 20-27 is Sal
vation Army week in Medford,
Mayor Earl Miller, has pro
claimed, t
The mayor signed the procla
mation at the annual advisory
board meeting May 16. At this
meeting. Brigadier Harry Lar-
sen, divisional commander of the
Salvation Army in Oregon and
Idaho, officially installed new of
.ficers of the board. They are
.'Sam Colton, chairman; Dr. Scott
. Heatherington, vice chairman,
and O. P. Taylor, treasurer.
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.
The chamber board has ap
proved a suggestion of the in
dustrial committee to conduct a
survey here on waste wood
products by Stanford Research
institute, he reported.
Ewaldsen said the legislative
and tax committe is trying to
set up a southern Oregon tax
clinic where all southern Ore
gon cities will be represented at
meetings in Medford to discuss
tax problems.

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.
