Clubs, churches, lodges and other organizations such as Granges will be asked to sin gle out their own senior mem bers for special consideration during May, which will be observed nationwide as Senior Citizens Month. Members of the committee include Mrs. C. D. Thatcher, Center committee; John Grib ble, secretary of the council; Mrs. Rilla Norris, president of the 50 Plus club; Mrs. Jud Greenman, Council of Church Women; Roscoe Roberts, Po mona Grange; Mrs..

Floyd, Medford Garden club; Walter Hatch, Dr. Frank Roberts, Mrs. Fred Rankin of the recreation com mittee, and Mrs. Amanda Farris of the Ashland Sorop tomist club. Another committee of the council has been considering an application to the Ford Foundation for a grant. The Ford Foundation has desig nated $300,000 for a series of Winners of Poppy Poster Contest in City Announced Sail! Reule, a junior at Medford High school, won first place in the high school division in the American Le gion auxiliary's annual poppy poster contest, and Milton Poppa, eighth grade student at H e d r i c k Junior High school, was first place winner in the junior high school divi sion, it was announced Sat urday. Salli is the daughter of Mrs. Eleanor Reule, 113 Lau rel St., Medford, and Milton is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Milton Poppa, 503 Spencer St., Medford. Local chairman of the con test was Mrs. Herb Gifford, Medford, of the Medford aux iliary. The two first place winning posters are being for warded to the department chairman for the state com petition, a spokesman said. Other Winners Other high school winners in the poppy poster contest are Vance Welty, junior, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne R.

McLoughlin, daughter of Mr. i and Mrs. James H. Baize, 808 West McAndrews rd. luiumuuuy organization ex periments to improve or de velop new programs for el derly people. Eight different types of communities will be selected to receive grants after appli cations are screened by a com mittee headed by Miss OIlie Randall, vice chairman of the National Committee on Aging. The local committee to present the application is headed bv Mrs Chxtir Guches, and includes Omar uaeon, William Hoxie, Mrs. Rankin and Frank Glonning. The council milliner! the greatest benefit to be secured lor senior citizens by use of the Brant would hp In pnnrlnrtt a survey of the county to de termine the need of low cost housing for both able bodied and those elderlv Dersons who need nursing care. The sur vey could also determine nth. er health needs, which would substantiate the helief nf the council that recreation centers help elderly persons to remain ablebodied. One of the determining fac tors for receiving the grant, council representatives said. may be the increasing num ber of retired persons in this area. According to social se curity records, there are now 6,476 persons receiving old age and survivors insurance or social security. This is a 20 per cent increase over last year, according to council rep resentatives, and is almost 10 per cent of the population. The council's executive board also has been discussing the Senior Activity Center, which was started in October, 1958, as a pilot program ex periment. Continued use of the Center has proved its pop ularity, council members said. The building is too small, they said, to accomodate more than 25 persons seated, and less than that when they are engaged in an activity such as painting, carving, .dancing or playing in an orchestra. The council noted that 2,752 persons have used the Center since it opened, with the num ber using it each month in creasing. A drive for a larger center on the same location is being considered, council members noted. . , I f 1 Til Central Point Boy Scores High in Test Central Points-Jeff Anhorn, 15-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl William Anhorn, Central Point, and a sopho more at Crater High school. has been rated nationally in the upper 10 per cent as a result of the Future Engineers of America test taken March 7, Crater High school offi have announced. The Crater High student also placed first among 63 Crater High school students who took the National Mathe matics Actuaries test March 10. He was eligible to go to Chicago to take an additional test.

McDonnell and Mrs. Donna M. Mason, clerk and assistant clerk, respective ly, of the Medford selective service board.
