SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) Migrant Ministry Florida Following By LOUIS CASSELS United Press Correspondent ; Bad weather in south Flori ' da has created a new crisis ; for one of the oldest and I least-known "home missions" - of American churches. Alternate raios and freezes have severely damaged Flori : da's winter crop of fruits and : vegetables. This is a hard T blow to the growers. It is '. sheer catastrophe for 15,000 migratory farm workers and ; their families who are now ; stranded in the state, with no ; hope of finding work before ; spring plantings are ready '. for harvest about March 15 " Emergency help is being mobilized to relieve their des perate plight at least to ; the extent of preventing ac ; tual starvation. State and '. county agencies, civic clubs, : business firms and private in dividuals are cooperating - Some surplus food from fed eral stocks has been made ; available. : In the midst cf this effort. '. armed with few resources be sides a tremendous determin- - ation to help the migrants, is -an inter - denominational -church organization called ; the Migrant Ministry. Z The Migrant Ministry was " founded in 1920 by church - women of 21 Protestant de- - nominations. It now operates - In 31 states, under the aegis ; of the Home Missions Divi- " sion of the National Council ; of Churches. - Lives Spent In Poverty - Its mission is to minister to the material, educational and spiritual needs of about 1,- 500,000 men, women and chil dren who "follow the crops." These migrant laborers have been called "the forgottenest of America's forgotten fami lies." Their lives are spent in almost incredible poverty and squalor. During the cold months, they congregate in southern tier states like Florida, Ari zona and Texas, where there are winter crops to be har vested. In spring they move north in three streams of bat tered vehicles one heading up the East Coast into New Jersey and New York; anoth er through the Midwest to the Canadian border; and a third up the West Coast through California. They live in whatever shel ter they can find, sheds, barns, tarpaper shacks, occa sionally the comparative lux ury of a migrant barracks, They travel in worn out cars, or herd together like cattle In "crew trucks. Deprived Of Services Because they cannot com ply with residence require ments for public aid, migrants are often deprived of medical care and welfare services, Their illness and death rates Work Day Set By Fellowship Members of the Pilgrim Fellowship of the Congrega tional church of Medford are having a "Work Day" Satur day. They are willing to hire themselves out to church members or friends who want some work done. All the pro ceeds will go into the treas ury of the group to be used to pay the pledge which they have made to the state Pil grim Fellowship. The regular Sunday even ing meeting of the Pilgrim Fellowship will be suspended so that the group may attend the inter - denominational Youth Rally to be held at the Methodist church. Youth Advisor To Give Sermon Sunday Fred Galloway, local youth advisor for the First Church of God, will deliver the ser mon at the 7:30 p.m. evange listic service of the churph. His message, on this closing night of Youth Week, will be, "Lord, Help Our Unbelief." The youth of the church have participated in all of the services of worship for the past two weeks. Special youth functions have also empha sized the importance of youth in the work of the church, both present and future. This local youth group has planned social and educational activi ties for young people of all age groups.

Two acres of land were purchased from the Buckley estate over a year ago, and in April the new building was started.
