MSDFORB WAR, TRIBUNE, MEDFORft. Red Cross Cooks Meai Under Feigned Disaster Conditions One day last week volnn. teers of the Jackson County " ross cnapter pretended that the area had been struck by disaster. Workers reported at the Red Cross building on Hawthorne ave.. desienatpH n: disaster relief headquarters, oim wem into action. They set ud and nmnnpri In. lormatlon, registration, trans portation and housing desks. A communications center was set up and all outlying Red Cross units contacted by radio ana telephone. T h e ware house with racks of clothing, beds and facilities for washinff ciouung, was open and ready "iiciouun. mere was a first aid station with equip ment and supplies, and regis tered nurses were in attend ance. The canteen corps went into action and using field-tvne stoves and other equipment on loan irom the Oregon Nation al guard unit, cooked a hot meal for almost 100 persons. Last Minute Changes The project started out to be only for the canteen work ers, who lacked the training of preparing meals out-of-doors under disaster-simulated conditions. At the last min ute, Eugene Thomdike, chair man and Mrs. O. A. Eden, co-chairman of the chapter's disaster committee, decided to make it a full scale rehearsal Following the noon meal, Manville Heisel, : c h alp t er cnairman, spoke concerning the function of the Red Cross in times of disaster and out lining basic policies as laid down by the American Red Cross. Since there is confusion in the minds of some concerning tlie functions of Red Cross as compared to Civil Defense, it was stressed that Civil De- tense is concerned with things," and Red Cross concerned with "people." . Communications Communications is one of the most important working units of a disaster-relief team. it was pointed out. Sam Col ton is chairman of this com mittee for the Jackson county chapter, and Dwight Albright neads the radio division. On the committee are Gen. Jo seph Hicks and Mrs. Lee Hoag; also on hand to help on the training day were Mrs. Colton, Mrs. Robert Miksche and Mrs. Russel Brown. The housing chairman is Leonard Mayfield, and his co- chairmen are Lee Ragsdale and Berwick Wood. John Graff heads the clothing com mittee, with Mr. and Mrs William Darby as co-chairmen. ... Regiilration Desk un "disaster day" last week Mrs. Frank Preston, chairman ot volunteers for the chapter, and Mrs. Sheridan Scott, her co-cnairman, both were on nand and busy. Their assist ants, Mrs. Clair Larson Mis Ralph A. McKay and Mrs. Al Stoehr, were manning the registration desk. Michael Beck heads I hp chapter's food committee, and Mrs. Grace Fiero is chairman of the canteen corns, with Mrs. Roy V. Rickard ns rn- chairman. These w o rlk e r s were the busiest of all on n- hearsal day, for though no cas ualties reported to the first aid desk, and no one appeared to seek housing, etc., the can teen men and women did pre pare and served a meal. Clarence Childcrs and Rcu- el Rians Jr., of the National Guard unit, helped the wom en with the gasoline stoves and water heaters. Other women helping with the prep aration and serving of food were Mrs. Ralph Bardwell. - lv u 1 POLIO VICTIM HAS CHILD The face of Mrs. Ingeberg Cully, which is visible in the viewing mirror of her iron lung, reflects happiness which she shares with her hus band, Army Sgt. John Cully, 3D, at Bellvue Hospital in New York. He holds their daughter, Dolores, who was born at the hospital Tuesday. A completely paralyzed polio victim, Mrs. Cully, 34, was removed from the iron lung and six attending doctors delivered the child in a matter of minutes. Mrs. Cully then was returned to the lung. A German-born war bride, Mrs. Cully was stricken with polio in Japan four years ago when her husband was stationed there. They have two other children.

Also on hand for the work out were Mary Kcnyon, Vicki , Ingram and A. J. Beardslee of the Junior Red Cross. When the project had been completed, Mrs. Eden report ed that the chapter felt the event had gone oft well. ' One of the most Important defects we discovered at once was that the chapter house is not large enough for a disas ter relief center," she report ed. "In case of a real disaster, even a small one as we simu lated for this rehearsal, we would need another building where some of the volunteers An Interested observer was Hal Gardner, chairman of the 1960 United Medord Crusade. Since the chapter Is a member of. thej United Medford Cru sade, and the Ashland-Talent Fund drive, Gardner was on hand to find out how well the group is prepared to meet the needs of the c o m m u n ijt y .tinnlfl Wleneiop ctrilra Orbiting Jet Expected To Be Ultimate Plane San Diego, Calif. (Science Service)-The "ultimate air plane" which will fly 17,000 miles an hour or 25 times the speed of sound, has been de scribed here by Alexander Kartveli, a Russian-born air craft engineer responsible for the development of 14 aircraft types. Kartveli, now " vice presi dent of research and develop ment for Republic Aviation Corporation, told the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences na tional meeting that the craft would be the last major type before aircraft makers turn most of their attention from aviation to astronautics. : It will be 170 feet .'long, 33 feet high and' have a wing span, of nearly 99 feet. Its front will be a massive series of .air ducts to draw" huge quantities of air -into four hydrogen-burning engines in combination withi four ram jets. . It will be capable of tak ing off from the ground with a substantial military load, accelerating to orbital speed, orbiting around the earth and landing on earth when de sired. - - Kartveli said design con sultants for Republic have al ready done basic exploratory work on the combustion scheme to power such a craft. He also presented designs for three generations of planes he believes will come before the "ultimate": 1. A fighter-bomber, 1 ca pable of verticle take-off, that could fly at 1,500 miles an hour. It could pinpoint bombs on a target from 75,000 feet. 2. A nuclear-ramjet stra tegic bomber, to be produced between 1970 and 1975, that would fly at 2,800 miles an hour and cruise at 85,000 feet. Its two-man crew would be In a shielded compartment. 3. A 4,960-miIes-an-h our bomber, shaped like a great triangle, capable of flight at 120,000 feet. With two ram jet and two turbojet engines, it would have a range of 5, 000 miles, ' .
