Note: This is anoth er in series of articles dis cussing agencies which receive funds through the United Med ford Crusade. The American Red Cross is included among the 25 a?pnriM which receive all or part of its iunas through contributions to ihe United Medford Crusade. More than 40 per cent of the total budget of the Red Cross is spent in service to the arm ed forces. The serviceman's fam ily nas priority in the Red Cross home service program. The home service program. The a major part of this function for the people in Jackson county and Medford. The purpose of the program is to provide service to assist in solving problems of families and individuals resulting from mili tary service. The Red Cross has created a place in every com munity where families of serv icemen can bring their problems with confidence. Services Povided Help is provided to a service man's wife who has had a hard time adjusting her living costs to the government allowance, an aged parent who cannot make ends meet since the son's induc tion into the service, a service man's child who is in need of emergency surgery or other sim ilar problems. Communications is also offer ed by the Red Cross home serv ice program. The Red Cross re lays approximately 110,000 mes sages each month. Each county in the United States has a chap ter and most overseas military installations have a field direct or. All types of messages are for warded by the Red Cross. Last year in Jackson county more than 5,000 messages were pro vided to servicemen or their families without cost. Through their message service the Red Belt-Chewing Youngster Escape Captor Everett, Wash. (IP) Any body who watches westerns on TV knows the good guys always beat the bad guys. Aparently George Edward Collins Jr., 20, hasn't been keep ing up with the latest "tube techniques" but eight-year-old Lee Crary has. And the young ster has put his man behind bars with a belt-chewing trick learn ed from his hero Wild Bill Hickok. Collins, and his common-law wife, Katherine Myers, 21, were arraigned on a first-degree kid naping charge here Friday. They must enter their pleas Oct. 3. Admitted Kidnaping Collins admitted he kidnap ped Lee, son of Mr. and Mrs. Crash Victims Flown To San Francisco Two seriously injured acci dent victims were flown from Montague, Calif., to San Fran cisco by a Medford Mercy Flights, Inc., air ambulance plane Friday night. The plane left here about 9:30 p.m., but because of delays due to bad weather, did not com plete the mission until about 6 a.m. Saturday. The plane could not land at Mott field near Dunsmuir, so the victims, who had been at Mt. Shasta General hospital, had to be brought by ground ambul ance to Montague field. A man and" woman, they both received serious head injuries with pos sible brain damage in separate accidents about a half-mile apart the same night south of Duns muir. They were Robert Thompson, 26, San Jose, whose father was killed in the same head-on col lision with a truck Thursday night, and Mrs. Blanche T. Web ster, Pasadena, whose husband suffered a broken leg in the same accident. Both were taken to Stanford Lane hospital in San Francisco for brain surgery They were the 715th and 716th patients to be carried by the air ambulance planes of the non-rjrofit organization in its 7 years of service. BARGAIN GRADE 2x4-8'.' S12.50 Per M' CHENEY STUD MILL CENTRAL POINT MAIL TRIBUNE Cross also provides information on emergency leaves or how to contact a serviceman in an emergency. Referral Service Another service provided by the Red Cross is referral serv ice. This is to acquaint service men and their families with services available by other coun ty agencies. Most of this work is done through an inter-agency council. This council serves as a clear ing house for the mutual prob lems confronting people and agencies who are called upon for help. The council also elim inates duplication of assistance and speeds help. The applicant for help is always guided to the agency which is best suited to meet his needs. The need for emergency funds by servicemen and their fam ilies is met by the Red Cross. Whenever a family emereencv arises the Red Cross will help out until personal funds are available. Basis of Need Assistance is given on a basis of need. In includes food, shelter, fuel, clothing, household utilities and incidental medical supplies. Such assistance is given pend ing the receipt, of the family's government allowances check which has been delayed. The council upon examination, will decide if the assistance will be a loan or grant. During the past year in Jack son county more than 1.200 serv icemen or their families have been given such aid. The Red Cross said that while a maioritv asked for the aid on a loan basis, more than 90 per cent were giv en as grants. The Red Cross pointed out that although many welfare re sponsibilities have been assumed by the Federal government, the field of personal community re sponsibilities must not be sur rendered. , Trick Helps Ed Crary of Edmonds, Wash. Monday and held him captive until the lad got away Friday morning. Collins had tied the youngster to a tree with his belt. But, as Lee described it, "I remembered how Wild Bill Hickok got loose on TV when he was tied up like that. So I worked my wrists loose and reached around with my teeth until I got that bar in the buckle to drop loose." Lee, who had been the object of a search involving blood hounds, a helicopter and more than 600 -volunteers, then made his way to a road where he was found by a passing motorist who notified authorities. The boy was unharmed. Collins and his wife, parents of a six-month-old child, refus ed the right of counsel at the arraignment, but the court ap pointed an attorney for each. Signed Statement The woman , signed a state ment involving herself in the abduction plot. Her story that it had been planned for two months, however, contradicted Collins signed account in which he said it was a "spur-of- the moment deal." Collins, a riveter, was ar rested at the Everett home of his father by the FBI after the Crarys received a note demand ing 510,000 ransom for the boy. The. FBI would not tell how they traced Collins, but Lee's mother said her son had noted the license plates on the kidnap car. A crude kidnap plan was found in the man's wallet.

Seaton, commenting on S.2047 a bill that provides for federal acquisition of all Klamath tribal lands, said Saturday that conservation of timber resources on the Klamath Indian reservation of south cen tral Oregon is "of primary im portance to the economy of the area and to the welfare of the public generally. In a letter to Sen. Richard Neuberger (D-Ore.), Sept. 26, Seaton said "The two problems confronting both the federal gov ernment and the state of Ore gon are protecting the property rights of the Klamath Indians on the one hand, and providing for the sustained yield management- of an important natural re source area on. the other. Neaiberger is chairman of the Indian Affairs subcommittee of the Senate committee on Inter ior and Insular affairs. The Secretary emphasized the manner in which the Klamath forest is managed will have "a vital impact on the life and ec onomy of the - entire Klamath river basin."

SHANOR United Press Staff Correspondent Hahn Air Base, Germany (IP) A U.S. Air Force unit stands on 24-hour alert here, ready to hurl as many as 75 nuclear war heads of Hiroshima power against an advancing Soviet army. The 701st has been quietly building up this capability over the past two and a half years. It now has three squadrons of Mat adors, a highly-trained force of electronic warriors, and the equpiment to scatter its forces to survive attack and launch re taliating blows. . "Today the-Wing . . .is an im pressive atomic strike force that is not duplicated anywhere else in the Air Force," an Air Force fact sheet said. Air Force spokes men refused to confirm whether atomic warheads are at present stored in Germany. Model "T" Missile The Matador is a model "T" missile compared to the inter continental rocket .the Soviets claim to have perfected, and the Titan and 'Atlas ICBM's being tested by the U.S. Rockets of this type can be fired 600 miles above the earth's surface and have speeds up to 15,000 mph. The Matador with its 650 mph speed, its 35,000-foot operation al altitude, and its range of about 650 miles, is not intended to be in the same class as the ICBM's. The Matador's chief technical advantage is that it can be launched from a simple platform mounted on the back of a truck an'd can be moved rapidly to es cape attack. The advantage that outweighs all the features of the ICBM's however, is the fact that the Mat ador is on the firing line now, 15 minutes from Communist terri tory, not on a test range or draw ing board.
