lined essentials for a successful
drive, empasizing the need for
an enthusiastic, united effort
headed by a competent execu

Shoppers' Phone !
Service Established
By Ex-Medfordile
A former Medford resident.
Ron Brittsan. has established a
successful shoppers' guide phone
service in Los Angeles, accord
ing to a front page article in the
June 6 Wall Street Journal.
Brittsan. a Medford High
school graduate, is the son of
Hubert B. Brittsan, Central
Point, and a brother of Gran
ville Brittsan. Medford.
"Since April 8. anyone in the
Los Angeles area has been able
to dial the . . . number and get
a vast range of questions an
swered free of charge," the
article states.
Brittsan employs IB operators
who handle about 2.00p calls
daily. He is also assisted by
six advertising salesmen., two
researchers and two office work
ers. Brittsan and his wife began
the operation by signing up busi
ness subscribers who finance
the service through "listing
fees". Their fir.ns are then rec
ommended in the shopping guide
service. Subscribers now total
1,500 and "cut a good swath
through the city's business fab
ric." according to the Journal
writer.
The couple plans to expand
the service to New York and I
Chicago by the end of summer,
and to Philadelphia, Detroit.
Houston and San Francisco i
eventually.
Salk Vaccine Lack
In Oregon Seen Over
Portland !1P The Oregon
State Board of Health today
hailed the apparent end of the
Salk anti-polio vaccine shortage.
The board and the Oregon
State Medical Society issued a
statement which said supplies
of the vaccine now reaching pri
vate physicians' offices "seem to
be adequate" to permit comple
tion of all three shots for chil
dren under 20 and all expectant
mothers before the summer po
lio season reaches its height.
The statement said there may
be occasional shortages on a lo
cal basis due to shipment prob
lems but that they would be
temporary.
Dr. Russell Kaufman president
of the medical society, suggested
that persons in the 20-40 age
bracket call their family physi
cians since a limited supply of
vaccine is available for that
group.
Nature has carved hundreds
of bridges and arches in Utah
and Arizona, but Rainbow
Bridges dwarfs them all. Rising
309 feet to a graceful, arching
span of 278 feet, it is almost
broad enough to frame the Unit
ed States Capitol, says the Na
tional Geographic Magazine.

Graham in Appeal
For Money To Pay
For N.Y. Crusade
New York IP Evangelist
Billy Graham Friday night cast
himself in the unfamiliar role i
of fund raiser. He made a direct. :
personal appeal for money to
help finance his New York Cru
sade. Graham told an overflow
crowd of 19.000 in Madison
Square Garden that the cru
sade executive committee had
raised S420.000 through private
contributions. He said at least
S175.000 more was needed to
carry the crusade through its
announced July 21 closing dale.
TV Money Needed
One benefactor agreed to pay
for two coast-to-coast Saturday
right live telecasts of the cru
sade program from the Garden,
but the committee signed for
two more "on faith," Graham
said. Cost of the four telecasts
will run more than S200.000.
The second of the telecasts
was carried last night over 57
stations.
Graham's first coast-to-coast
telecast last week garnered an
3.05 average Trendex rating for
the hour, against 20.25 for Perry
Como and a 12.85 for Jackie
Gleason.
In San Francisco, a colleague
of Graham's announced Friday
that the evangelist would con
duct a month-long crusade in the
city's 15.000-seat Cow Palace be
ginning April 27, 1958.
