District Judge Warren Woodruff set Wednesday, Dec. 17 as the date for the hearing on the demurrer. No matter what you're building (and that means savings, too) . . planning must come first if you're to be successful. Remember, where you save can make a big difference.

Attention Focused On Other Aspects Of Area's Elderly By JOE COWLEY Mail Tribune Staff Writer Through the Council on the Aging, attention has been fo cused recently on the prob lems of elderly people in Jackson county. One of the problems, not yet spotlighted is the continued need for clean, healthful, yet eco nomical homes. This need constitutes a vital and personal problem for the 265 persons who occupy the beds in this county's nine nursing homes and six homes for the aged. To most people, all such homes are considered conva lescent homes. This is a fal lacy, as each is equipped to give a different, but equally necessary service. Medical Institutions Nursing homes are medical institutions and have regis tered nurses on call 24 hours a day. Homes for the aged need not employ a nursing staff, and the care which they are prepared to give usually consists of providing adequate, healthful meals, warm, com fortable housing and a mini-- mum of behavorial supervi sion for elderly persons. Nursing homes and homes for the aged are inspected and issued licenses for opera tion by the state board of health. For licensing it is nec essary for the home to meet standards of nutrition, sanita tion and safety as outlined by the state fire marshal and the board of health. In Jackson county, such li censed homes fill a definite need. They may provide a temporary home for elderly people who are recuperating from a serious illness. Many of these persons have improv ed enough to leave the hos pital and have no other way of receiving the medical care they need. In Nursing Homes Frequently, aging persons are placed in nursing homes by relatives who find they are unable to give them the proper, continuing care which the ill and infirmed require. Occasionally, elderly people will go to such homes seeking security and companionship of other elderly people like themselves who need ca're. For the person who has maintained his own" home, his admittance into the rest home will mean a whole new way of life. Much privacy has nec essarily been lost. Life is more regimented. Living is adapted to schedules, and in a sense, individuality is lost in the ef fort of the home to adopt an efficient routine. It is no longer possible for the resident to get his usual bedtime snack from the re frigerator. He may find that he is not allowed to stay in the lounge or living room to watch the late show on tele vision as it may disturb the other residents. The habits of the individual are subordinated for the good of the majority and in this a resident may discover that practices of a lifetime must be relinquished so a smoothly running organization may be made of the home. Cognizant of the need for each person to assert his indi viduality and be recognized as a human being in his own right, the friendly visiting service has been instituted recently. Volunteers repre s e n t i n g churches and other local groups were organized, given an orientation course and have been assigned now to the nursing homes and the homes for the aged in Jack son county. Purpose of the group is to .provide, in coop eration with the operators of the homes, friendliness and a recreational program which may restore a portion of the resident's lost identity and give him something to antici pate each week. County Farm Home One of the better known nursing homes is the Jackson county farm home. Compared with similar county institu tions it is considered outstand ing, according to county offi cials. The institution was established in the county WOOD TO BURN Best Dry Pine Slabs and Rough Blox-Full Load 16" S&H GREEN MEDFORD Tel SP 2-2111 n '' '" ' '''''' 1 DINNER TIME - Some of the residents are shown eating dinner in the Jackson county farm home. As can be seen in the picture, many of them are in wheelchairs and eat at the table. Others who are confined to about 1903. The present build ing and grounds were placed in operation about 1949. Principal purpose of the county farm home is to take care of residents receiving public assistance. Privately paid residents are admitted only when a vacancy exits and there is no one on wel fare to fill it. The county farm home pro vides care at $130 a month per resident. It has a number of outstanding features. These include a one-story building and wide halls. The S2,000 worth of special equipment used to handle residents in cludes a hydraulic lift to move them about, modern steriliz ing equipment and aspirators. Capacity of 53 The home operates at full capacity of 53 residents. It is operated by a superintendent with one registered and one licensed practical nurse. They are assisted by 11 nurses' aides. A house physician visits the patients once a week on regu lar calls and is available for special calls at any time. He has consultations with special ists when necessary. The County farm home pro duces much of its own food such as milk, eggs, poultry, beef, pork and vegetables to ensure good, economical meals. More Aid to Tito But Not to Poland Washington -(UPD- High offi cials disclosed yesterday the United States plans to an nounce soon about 92 million dollars more in economic aid to Communist Yugoslavia but indefinite sidetracking of Red Poland's newest request for more help. This will bring to roughly 1.6 billion dollars the total of military and economic aid to Marshal Tito's government during the past eight years and is designed to make up, in part, Russia's withdrawal last May of the equivalent of 285 million dollars in credits it had promised Yugoslavia. Poland's efforts to negoti ate more American aid have been rebuffed for the time be ing with the official declara tion that the state department is "not ready" to enter such talks. But officials acknow ledged that the principal reas on for the delay was Ameri can displeasure over the in creasingly bitter statements by Polish Communist Chief Wladyslaw Gomulka against the United States and its for eign policy. Even those officials who believe continued aid to Po land is worthwhile fear con gressional reaction to such as sistance at this time. RAIL PROBE BACKED Washington -(UPD- A propos ed congressional inquiry into railroad moves to abandon commuter service received backing Friday from rail un ion leaders. The leaders, mem bers of the Railway Labor Executives' association, also accused the railroads of en dangering the traveling pub lic by neglecting safety regu lations. 5S75 STAMPS - TOO FUEL CO. Court & MeAndrews Brucker Cites Need For Power Sources Portland -(UPD Wilber . M. Brucker, secretary of the Army, told the Inland Empire Waterways association Friday night that the Pacific North west by 1975 would have to look to sources of power oth er than hydroelectric proj ects to supply the region's needs. Brucker, In addressing the silver anniversary of the IEWA, said he had seen esti mates that in another 17 years the Northwest would need all the power which can be pro duced by all the projects pro posed in a revised plan of nrmy engineers. He mentioned future expan sion of thermal and nuclear power capacity and said that by 1975 "whatever the stage our river basin programs may have reached, the northwest will have to look increasingly to thermal power to augment its water resources." The revised report on Co lumbia basin development, re leased last week, mentioned 13 big projects in Montana, Idaho, Washington and Ore gon costing about $1.8 billion.

Alabamans Warn Of Poll Collapse Montgomery, Ala-(UPD-State officials warned yesterday that a breakdown in Ala bama's vote registration ma chinery may result .from in vestigation by the Federal Civil Rights commission into Negro voting rights in this state. There was a distinct pos sibility that, in a parallel to public schools closing in Vir ginia and Arkansas, vote reg istration offices in certain Ala bama counties may shut down rather than face civil rights investigation. Gov.-Elect John Patterson, state attorney general and outspoken states' righter, has indicated the federal investi gation may hinder rather than speed Negro vote registration in Alabama. Patterson predicted the civ il rights investigations will make it more difficult to se cure registrars to serve for the next four years, especially in Central and South Alabama counties where Negroes out number whites. . "If that happens," Patterson rsaid, "voter registration ma chinery could break down and no one, white or Negro could register to vote.

Member Qongcr - WEST MAIN FUNERAL "Your TV Weatherman" KBES-TV Monday Thru Friday 6:00 p.m. Mrs. Laura Miller, 68, Port Orford, died one hour after the accident in McCauley hos pital in Coos Bay. She was a passenger in a car driven by her son, Ralph Miller, 46, who was listed in critical condition. A mother and her 2-year-old son suffered minor injur ies in the accident. Hurt were Mrs. Dora - luchler, 24, and Stanley Kuchler of Powers. They were passengers in a car driven by the child's father, Robert, who escaped injury. Patchy Fog Police said the accident oc curred "when a vehicle slowed in a stretch of road covered with patchy fog. In chain re action, the other cars piled up. Officers said the Miller car was fourth in the line and when it hit the preceding ve hicle in the rear, it was turn ed sideways on the highway. The Kuchler auto struck it, apparently, broadside. Other Driver Drivers of the autos in volved, besides Kuchler and Miller were Claude K. Har old, Coquille; George Kreich, Coquille and Raymond Jones, Coos Bay. Another two-car head-on collision was reported a short distance away when a passer by raced to a phone to report the accident and struck an other vehicle. No serious in juries were reported and names of the drivers involved were not immediately avail able. When the city of Tokyo gave the famous cherry trees to Washington, D. C, in 1912, the first tree was planted by Mrs. William Howard TafL the bushes. The plot of ground will be lev eled and planted to lawn, according to F. G. Herdman, custodian of the building. Other objections to the holly was that it was a collecting place for litter and that the sharp leaves could inflict painful scratches. The order for removal came from GSA headquarters in Seattle.
