Poppy Sale Slated Here May 26, 27 "Buddy Poppy" sales will be held May 26 and 27sin Medford by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Crater Lake Post and auxiliary. At 8 p.m., May 25 all volunteer members will meet to prepare for the sales. VFW officials noted that the poppy idea originated in France during 1921 when the Little Children's league de cided to help widows and or phans left destitute. The league adopted the red pop py, its national flower, as a money-making project to help veterans and their families. The red flower symbolizes those who lost their lives, and it now aids those who surviv ed. Following the dissolution of the franco- American league in 1922, the VFW made a national appeal to sell the poppy in the U.S. The VFW has promoted the project since 1924, and it was decided to allow disabled and needy vet erans to assemble the poppies. Proceeds from the poppy sales are used for local proj ects, supplies, payment for the veterans who assemble them, and for the National VFW Ea ton Rapids home for orphaned children. Veterans or families of vet erans, who need assistance with the project may tele phone Ira Canfield, SPring 3-1017-or Mrs. Fred Lawrence, SPring 2-6767.

Voters included . economic growth, social development, quality of life, and values of freedom in the term "socie ty." One hundred per cent of Jackson county voters agreed. Sixty-one per cent of the state's voters and 34 per cent of Jackson county voters added growth of a world com munity that is increasingly strong, free, and resistant to communism as also import ant to American survival. Opinion ballots from 20 Oregon counties were tabu lated last week by Oregon State university extension service. 'Arms and Survival' Ballots on the topic "Arms and Survival" showed 68 per cent of the statewide voters believe the 'U.S. must have an indestructible retaliatory force to convince Russia we can and will strike back if we or an ally is attacked, Nearly as many added that the U.S. must also have standby conventional force capable of resisting future Korea-type aggression. Seventy-one per . cent of the people voting in Oregon said since we wish to deter war, we must be prepared to wage, win and survive any war we may be forced to fight. Eighty per cent of Jack. son county, voters balloted the same way. Sixty - eight per cent of statewide voters believe the U.S. must protect its civilian population to insure survival of greatest number, and to convince Russia we can and will retaliate, even after be ing hit. Nearly as many voters in sist that military measures are not enough. The U.S. must also invest in economic, so cial, and political develop ment of non-communist world community. Sixty - one per cent of Jackson county voters agreed. Emphasise Education On the topic "Blueprints for the World Economy three-fourths of those who voted in Oregon said the U.S. should emphasize education and training projects which contribute to political as well as economic development. Some dissatisfaction was evident with administration of U.S. economic assistance to underdeveloped nations. Six ty-one per cent of the voters said better administration is desirable whether the U.S. raises, lowers,' or does not alter its present level of aid About the same number felt the U.S. should urge its allies to increase substantial ly their present levels of ec onomic development assist ance. - Only 1 per cent of the state's voters said the U.S should provide economic aid only to U.S. military allies. All of the Jackson county voters indicated they felt the same way. Turning their attention to the topic "The Americans in Jeopardy," 65 per cent of the voters encouraged more pro ductive use of existing capi tal, land, and other private Latin American resources in the development of free Latin American economies. Sixty-nine per cent of the state voters and 93 per cent of Jackson county voters said the U.S. should expand tech nical assistance and aid to education because of its im portance to economic, social and political development in freedom. . .:.sL. L. ii-Xj LU VAN SANH Financially Adopted Home Rule Study Group Continues Its Discussion The Jackson county home rule study committee contin ued its evaluation of possible county powers under a home rule charter Thursday night and posed a number of ques tions. Some of the main questions were: whether the district at torney or a county counsel should prosecute violations of ordinances enacted under a charter? May a county charter make other than existing state election laws? What is a float ing bond issue? What is real ly the basic political organi zation in the county? The city has certain rights, the county and the state. Who has the rights left over-the residu al rights? Other questions which will be asked authorities on politi cal science and law are: Is there a distinction between the powers the county as sumes as a body-politic and those assumed by the admin istrative and legislative func tions of county government? To Meet with Group The committee agreed to ask Marshall E. Woodell, Southern Oregon college pro- fesror of social science, to meet with the group. Thomas Owens, chief deputy district attorney, will be asked to act as the committee's legal advisor. The committee spent consid erable time discussing the mechanics and effects of spe cial elections. Some members feel that special elections are run by the minority and rec ommended requiring a certain percentage of registered vot ers turning out before a spe cial measure can be enacted, Maxwell Thayer, Rogue River Times editor, said the people have the right to vote, but asked if they could be forced to assume that right. Recommend Broad Powers Committee member Phil Humphreys r e c o m m e nded that the county governing body be given broad enough powers to have authority over matters of county concern, and that certain restrictions could be Included. Dr. Arthur Kreisman, Ash land committee member, sug gested that certain powers be defined, such as the right to acquire property, and regula tion of matters pertaining to health and water. Some members of the com mittee felt the group was at tempting to be too restrictive. The public, as a whole, will elect county officials who will not abuse their powers, it was pointed out. Some California home rule charters were thrown out be cause they were so restrictive that county government could not operate freely enough un der them, a committee mem ber added.
