Reuel Rians Jr., disaster chairman, pointed out that a disaster exists any time five or more families are involved. The disaster relief program of the Red Cross is designed to mitigate and alleviate suf fering caused by disaster im mediately upon its occurrence by providing food, clothing, shelter, and medical and nurs ing or hospital care on the basis of evident need. SECTION D PAGES 1 to 8 MEDFORDtlTRIBUNE MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, JANUARY 13, 1963 , t ELECTED PRESIDENT Dr. M. Donald McGeary was rec ently elected president of the medical staff of the Rogue Valley hospital for 1963. Dr. McGeary joined the staff in 1954 and conducts an office practice in Phoenix. He is a graduate of the University of Minnesota medical school and is a member of the American Medical association and the American Academy of General Practice. Other officers elect ed are Dr. John Weisel, presidentelect; Dr. Robert Riechers, secretary; and Dr. Ralph Hibbs, liaison committee to the board of directors. The objective of disaster re habilitation is to assist an in dividual or a family in re establishing Its capacity to provide those basic needs re quired to reach and maintain its predisaster standard of liv ing, Rians noted. The Red Cross is primarily concerned with the adequacy or inadequacy of a family's resources to meet disaster caused problems. Promptness is the key to successful assistance. Author ity vested in the Red Cross by Congress makes unneces sary the issuance of special permission or license by state or local government for the Red Cross to activate and car ry out its disaster relief pro gram. It has both a legal and a moral obligation to provide assistance, Rians said. Rians reported that be tween 350 and 400 individuals have received help of some kind as a resul of the Dec. 2 flood. Sixty-nine families made formal application for assistance and have been taken care of, with a total monthly outlay of funds in the amount of $13,826. A few requests for assist ance are still coming into the office so this is not a final figure, Rians noted. A special guest at the meet ing was Mrs. Evelyn Connor, disaster representative from the Pacific Area office, San Girl Slightly Hurt In Medford Mishap Pamela Ann Lane, 6, of 215 Cottage st., was slightly in jured about 2:45 p.m. Thurs day when she was struck by a car at East Main st. and Crater Lake ave., according to Medford police.

Claims Checked On Public Lands Portland-The bureau of land management has released results of the survey of the utilization of mining claims located on public lands in Josephine and Malheur counties. In Josephine county, ac cording to Russell E. Getty, the bureau sampled about one third of the claims under its jurisdiction on which assess ment work had been done in the past year. The sampling contained 156 unpatened mining claims of which 11 are producing ore, 56 are undergoing explora tion or development, and 11 are being used for other than mining purposes. The bureau checked 31 patented mining claims form ally passed from public to private ownership under the U. S. mining laws of which one is presently producing; nine are undergoing explora tion or development and one is being used for other than mining purposes. In Malheur county the BLM survey revealed a total of 197 unpatented mining claims of which seven are presently producing ore. Getty said county records in Oregon estimate that there have been 120,000 mining claims located on public lands in the state since 1872 when the mining laws were enacted. About 430 have been patented since that time. $ M NOTICE " . I I to the Public!
