Pros and cons of the question are constantly appearing In the press. In the forms of edi torials and quotations from dispu tants and Impartial analysts, and It Is the BUliject of the seasonal debates bctwecli Oregon high school orators. The Issue has al ready been settled lit the affirma tive so fur us It concerns Import ant cities of the United Stales, which now huve In operation a system of hospitalization Insur ance which Is winning Increasing popularity and promises to be greatly extended In scope within the noxt few years. Attention was called to lite plan recently when Mrs. Mollie H. Lalb son of Brooklyn found It possible to accommodate the arrlvul of the stork at one of Brooklyn's most modern hosplluls at a cost of $8.50, that foe Including expense of the delivery room and u somi-urlvato room for a week,. This accommodation came to her as a memhor of the group of some 65,000 Now Yorkers enrolled In the hospitalization Insurance v 1 a n. Each member pays ubout three cents a day, or 111) a year, und is entitled to treatment ut ouo of the 174 Now York hospitals affiliated' with the program. In general the plan operates oh the theory that if a sufficient num ber of membors are enrolled hos pitalization may' bo offered at "wholesale" rutcB. Kucli member Is entitled to 21 days of bed, board and clinical treatment. Personal doctors are retained by the ptf tlentB and paid by them. Under terms of the New York program the hospital insurance) group member Ib also entitled to financial aid In paying his hospit al bill It the victim of an accident In another part of United States Or Canada. The Increasing scopo of tlio plan has made It a vital Issuo in tlio Medical world which Ih divided in to two camps over tlio matter. In recent yours of tlio depression thousands of pliyslcluns have found their practice cut down bocuuso of social prog ranis of medical care and have hud greatly docroaBcd In comes becaiiso of Inability ut pa tients lo pay their bills. Dr. Thomas I'arran Jr., former state commissioner of health in New York and recently appointed Burgeon general of the United HtHtes public health service, Is one of those who believes hospital in surance and similar systems will do little to aid the physician. Homo method of mrdlt-ul and hospital aid sponsored by (lie fed eral government whirli will permit physic-inns to continue as private practitioners Is favored by Dr. Parran. Socialized medical care, free drugs and clinical cure for (hose who cunnot afford to pity Ik urged by tho new surgeon Renirul. Ills plan would nld physicians finan cially by put tins the 1117.000 doc tors In United States in active charge of the program, permitting them to carry on their private practice wherever possible. Tho federal government now spends t20.0O0.00M annually on lis public health servli a a.. I !s enn Bliuilly extending this field of so clal welfare work. Uncle Sam on the' Alert. A TTHACTKO by tho hugo mill lary activities and warlike maneuvers going on in Europe, as well as by tho gradual conquest of Ethiopia and the wur-tlireatciiing clashes occurring between Japan ese and Russians, Americans aro apt to loso Bight of what Is hap pening In their own country in (he way of national defense prepara- tlons. Let there b no mistaken idea that Uncle Sara is merely sit ting on the sidelines watching oth er nations Increase their fighting strength without doing a little strengthening on his own account. Yesterday, for Instance, the bouse passed a bill to Increase the army air force to 4,000 planes, and the senate, It Is predicted, will add Its approval. The house at the same time passed a companion bill to or- gunizo an air reserve training corps, consisting chiefly of youths between 17 and 24. ' Concurrently tho senate muni tions committee recommended the nationalization of enough Indus trial plants to produce warships, guns and powder for the peace time needa of the army and navy. The day's events of military char acter also included a personal pro posal to President Roosevelt for a federal allocation of 175,000,000 for construction of national guard arm ories throughout the country. These ltomB, together with many others of like character which havo been chronicled in news dis patches from Washington the paHt few months, are umplo proof that the United Btntes is fully cog nizant of the necessity for building up and maintaining Its national dc fenso units. In a house military committee roport that proceded passage of the measure to incroase the army's air arinnda, It was asserted that 4,000 planes, rather than tho pres ent authorized Btrcngth of 1,800, was tho absolute minimum need ed for defense of the nation. Am plifying this assertion, the commit tee emphasized that many foreign netloiiB now have vast fleets and huge airplane carriers, adding: "These facts strongly emphasize that our hat Ion is no longer pro tected from air attacks because of the wltlo oxtent of the Atlantic und Pacific oceans and wo must gov- om ourselves accordingly." With this sentiment thnro will he widespread accord. Friendly ges tures, soft-spoken words .and "good-neighbor" declarations will not alone Insure national safety. Nor will a convennnt ward off at tack, as Ethiopia and China can testify from their misplaced re- lianco on the league of nations. The best gunrantoe ngnlnst atlnck Is still a formidable and efficient defense system, and It will con- tliiuo to ho tho best until civiliza tion reaches that stage whero tho will to havo war no loncor ex ists In nny nntlnn.

I promise you I won t Interrupt. 1 know pretty much what you'ro up against hut there mimt he another way besides leaving Walter. It's cruel to you both. You love him, and he loves you. 1 can't help thinking It's llko amputating the hand becaiiso the finger Is fester ing. All right, now, tell me. I'll keep my opinions to niynelf until you've finished." Ho opened his cigarette case und carefully chose one. I'nder cover of lighting it, he Kindled her carefully. "Come, we'll walk on tho boardwalk In the sun. Tho sun makes everything so much brighter." Helen laughed. "Walt, I'll get a bat." They walked slowly arm In arm along the boardwalk, engrossed in conversation. As they talked Hick was conscious of her beauty; how she blended Into the richly colored tropical scene; tho emerald-green sea. the daxzling sand. Helen's ash- blonde hair, her warm skin, her slim, supple form they were all indelibly stamped on his memory. He would always associate her and this lovely scene. , Ho brought himself to the problem at hand with an effort. Ho wanted to help her. Ho had come down to help her . . . "Helen, family Interference has battered more marriages than immorality tun I Infidelity and drink put together. Sometimes even well-meaning relatives can polttnn the lives of two persons." He drew a deep breath, wondered it ho sounded as pedantic to her as he did to himself, but he went firmly on. "Walter Isn't entirely to blHine. ' "No?" she asked huskily. "Hasn't he listened and abetted and been Influenced by them? If he truly loved me, he wouldn't even let them discuss me." "Theoretically you're right but iietually families seem to think they havo a divine right. It's per fectly easy to shut up well-menn-lug friends, hut not so easy to shut up a mother or sister.

"Oh, Dirk, you're so wonderful. You make everything Bo clear, so limp idly clear, so . , . simple. I'll wire him tomorrow so that ho can be here ovor tho week-end. j I'll do everything you say. J'll ask him to choose once nnd for all whether It's I or the Kileys. Oh, Dirk, I love him so. 1 can give him so much," she whispered. "Ho can make me so happy, too. I want him so!" Dirk's eyes clouded, but he smil ed. "Good girl, Helen!" She pressed his arm und they walked for a while In silence, each thinking his own thoughts. A stondy stream of gaily dressed, laughing people flowed along the boardwulk going In the opposite di rection. Suddenly two persons de tached themselves from the crowd and stood staring at them. Helen looked up suddenly to meet two hostile pairs of eyes, but since she didn't know them, she continued her walk which fitted so rhythmi cally with Dirk's. "Did you see that couple, Dirk, the way they staled at us?" "Ycrt, do you know them?" "1 never laid oyos on them be ftfre." ' "Maybe they were bowled ovor with your beauty," grinned Dirk. Helen laughed. "Oh, Dtrk. Look, there's Fredericks and baby. Oh, yoohoo!" Helen called gaily. "Come on, Dirk, we can crawl over this rati. Grade's going to get a bath. Let's watch. Oh, how dar ling she looks! Grade. Grade!" Later ut dinner Helen said: "nan i ten waiter you wore here?" "If you like.

"Do you think she'd mind I doubt It.

That will date our strictly moral day together so that oven the most putrid-minded will be convinced." Helen sent Wnlter a night letter at the apartment and at the mo ment he rend It. Dirk was boarding the train New York hound. Helen in a white flannel suit and low white shoes saw him off. She wav ed her white felt hnt until the train was out of sight. His 1a.t glimpse of her was her smiling tanned face, with Its halo of nsh hlonde hair that caught tho sun nnd reflected Its rays like a pool reflects the sunlight. She was so - 'Um. ro young, so hopeful as she danced up and down. Ho felt his heart contract at her loveliness. Ho drew a deep sigh. "What a waste," he thought sadly. "What a waste of loye and loveliness ... . and yet she loves him!" Wulter opened Helen b telegram with his butter knife. Mamie in the kitchen was suddenly surpris ed to hour hirn laugh loudly and gaily. "Mamie, Ma mie," he called. "pack my bag, quick. Throw in some shiita and stuff. Did my sum mer suit come back from the tail or's? Swell! Fire it In. And socks and white shoci. And my bathing suit and my tennis racquet. Mrs Kiley s too. She forgot hers . . I know . . . better use the double bag. I'll do some phoning. Never mind breakfast! The deuce with breakfast. I'm going south!" She met his train. Ho saw hor on the platform. He wanted to leup orf but the porter stood in front of him and blocked his way with a stool. She was In white and she looked cool and Blim and curiously virginal. fe was going to clasp her In his arms, smother her with kisses . Nothing would ever separate them again! He found himself shaking hands with her shyly. "Hollo, my dar ling!" 'Hello, Walter. I'm so glad yoif could come." "1 took the first train out. Boy, did I rush! I brought you your ten nis racquet and your beach robe. You forgot them." I bought others. Hut thanks a lot just the same." "You look wonderful. Helen." "How long can you stay, Walt?" "flow long can I stay? I'm go ing to stay with you forever und ever." She smiled. "I mean here." "As long as you like. All win ter." Ho took her arm. "Conic on, Helen, let's go!" All right. Then I say first get into a light suit und we'll have lunch and then we'll go to the beach. Crude goes Into the water every day. She looks marvelous, Walter. Yon won't know her.

She's met a couple of nurses mound the hotel w ho play brlilne. "That's great. I brought hor n leather bridge set. Cards and scoring puds ami pencils, neatly embalmed in cowhide."

ANNIE KRUSE of Yon carTa visited Uoseburg yester day, with the ir formation that a meeting will be held in the Odd Fellows hull In Y o n c a 1 1 a next Friday night at 8 p. in., to which all the county Candida tea for public office will be Invited. The general public is urged to attend, and listen to what the candi dates have to say. No admis sion churge will be made, although a smull collection will be taken to defi-Hy hall expenses. Such meetings as the one plan ned above are a mighty good thiug, both for the candidates, and the public. It gives the latter an opportunity to see and to hear the men who are running for office, many of whom may be strangers to them. It gives the candidate a much needed audience, and saves him the trouble and expense In volved in a cumpaign of personal calls. At the last general election I re call that it was common practice for various sociul and business or ganizations around tho county, to hold dinner or afier dinner meet ings to which the candidates were invited, to make short talks. Some of them weren't so short, and not all of them were to the point, but all of them served a purpose. The electorate prefers to see, and to hear, the men and women they are going to vote for, or against, Mr. and Mrs. L. D.

Accomplishments of CCC Recounted Douglas Crews Make Fine Records Editor's Note Tho month of I April marks the third anniversary of the civilian conservation corps, During- the three years the CCC camps have been maintained in the Koseburg area, much valuable work has been done In develop ment and improvement work in Douglas county, according to V. V. Harpham, supervisor of the I'mp qua Notional forest. The follow ing is one of a series of articles summarizing- the achievements of the CCC in the Rosebu-g area: camp Mckinley The average person often won ders what the civilian conservation corps is doing in his immediate vi cinity. As it is now close to the third birthday of this organization, perhaps we at McKlnley camp can be forgiven for breaking Into print and bragging a little. First, lot's look at the map and see what our major achievement, the Tioga truck trail, looks like. It is a forest protection road extend ing from the end of the McKinley county road up Middle creek through the saddle between Coos river anil Coquille river water sheds across Williams river at the mouth of Cedar creek and out at Melrose. On this project, McKin ley camp built about twenty-two miles. The balance was complet ed by the Melrose camp. The rea son for this project was the in accessibility to the country devas tated by the Williams river fire of 1932 and the Tioga fire of 1918. During these fires, crews fought fires tor two or three days at a time without food, because it waB impossible to get supplies to them. We can now transport fire fight ers and equipment through the cen ter of tills entire area in one and one-half hours. We have also completed five miles of the Cold sprlngs-Reston road which takes off from the Tlosa road at Cold springs in a southerly direction down the divide between Burnt creek' and Williams river.- Eventually this road is to contiuiio south past Scotty's cabin and connect with tile Coos Bay wa gon road and leads into Rcstoli. This wil lopen up an additional route into the Williams river arenr for fire protection. We have completed one and one half miles of the Burnt mountain road, taking off from the Tioga road at the summit of the Coos river and Coquille river divide in a southerly direction toward Burnt mountain. Horse trails Built The following horse trails have been completed leading off from the Tloca road: The Rogers creek trail takine a northerly direction about three miles up Rogers creek. Tho Buzzard creek trail leading south about two and one-half miles up Buzzard creek. Four miles of trail connecting the Tioga mad with Coos moun tain lookout. These roads and trails are all Part of the protection plan cover ing the largest body of standing Douglas fir in the state of Ore gon. Each spring we have maintained all protection trails in this area. A new tower and lookout house has been constructed on Coos mountain. 2:00 On the Emerald Isle. 2:30 Garden of Music. 2:45 Vocal Ensemble. 3:00 World Bookman. 3:15 Southern Serenade. 3:30 Story Land. 4:00 The Editor Views the News. 4:15 Singing Strings. 4:4n Westerners. 5:00 Ambrose and His Orches tra. 5:30 The Motor Shop Garage Presents the Hawk. b:on Chevrolet's Musical mcnts. 6:15 Friendship Circle. 7:00 Sign Off.

Evenings by Appointment Room S Phone Masonic Bldg. 488-J A new tower and lookout house has been constructed on Brewster rocx. We have rebuilt fifteen miles ot telephone lines' from the Lawhorn ranch to Tioga ranger station and put in twelve miles of new tele phone construction from that sta tion to the Cedar Creek camp. This gives us a through forest service line from Multifield to Roseburg, hooking up ail lookouts in this vicinity and making a com plete network of protection tele phone communication open two ways; also connecting Coos and Douglas County Fire Patrol asso ciations. We are now working on the re- -4 construction of that section of the old Coos Bay wagon road between McKinley and Fairvlew. TheBe roads and trails have been built through very rough country. Plenty ot rock has been encountered and numerous bridges have been neceBBury. The long est bridge constructed was sev enty feet. Wet weather has requir ed thousands of ynrdB of rock sur facing in order that we could get men out onto the various projects. Ask any lumber operator in this vicinity and you will hear a very flattering story of the work done by all CCC men on fire suppres sion. Men from this camp have fought fires as far south as Brook Inns and Medford; as far north as i the McKenzie burn; as far east aB Quartz mountain, and westward to the salt water. The Jacksonville hill, McKenzie bridge, Powers, and Cailapoola fires were all included in our program. So much for visible attainments. Myrtle Wood Boosted , Indirectly, We have advertised myrtle wood novelties all over the state of Illinois. Fifty per cent of this company has at least throe myrtle wood souvenirs each which he has finished In the camp wood working shop. None Of these ar ticles have been sold, but they are sent or taken to people back in tho central states who have never heard of Oregon before, and who aro amazed at the beauty of these wooden novelties. Over 600 boys have learned con siderable of the theory of forestry. The relation of' forests to our dally life; how to swing an axej pull a saw; fight a forest fire, and many other little tricks. We have plant, ed in them the thrill of- construe Hon; the ability to build; the idea of helping themselves. They were astonished at the versatility ot woodsmen and have unconscious, ly tried to acquire his self-confidence. About ninety per cent of them never saw a forest before Coming to this Camn. anil nvm sixty per cent never had a job be fore. Only those who welcomed them when they came and who told them goodbye when they left, can appreciate the character build ing completed out here among the troes and hills. .. , Measured ih dollars- and ceiits, wo have done quite a job, but tho immeasurable benefits to the boys who have passed through their training at this camp will he with them for the balance of their lives. They have become "forest con scious." Soon these boys will be voting and we are sure we can count on them voting favorably and Intelligently on future fores try legislation.
