WE American are a queer lot. .On the whole perhaps the most efficient people on earth, we are surprisingly slipshod In a number of ways. One of our sllp ' shod ways la our attitude toward traffic laws, fire regulations, etc. ' We virtuously put such legisla tion on our statute books, and then thumb our noses, at It. We seem to feel that once we've pass i ed the laws our duty is done and we don't need to bothor about ob serving them. Until a BAD accident comes along. Then we lly Into a perfect tizzy, and demand the heart's blood of the wicked violators of the laws we've all been cheerfully , ignoring up to then. As a result, our toll of acciden tal death and Injury is probably Ihe highest on earth. e . e ANOTHER of our national pe culiarities is our tendency to .

STANTON Douglas County was extremely' fortunate in the fact that only three cases of infantile paralysis occurred during-1946, although the dmeaae produced an epidemic second only to tho scourge of 1916 for the nation as a whole. A total of 195 cases were reported during the year for the State of Oregon, showing how fortunate Douglas County was in its extremely low proportion of cases. We cannot expect such good luck to continue forever. In fantile paralysis may strike its terror into many hojneg at some future date, bringing that despair which comes when we see a loved one in intense pain and watch the rapidity with which paralysis spreads, never knowing whether the disease will produce death, leave permanent disability, or be beaten off without serious or permanent results. In such times, when the feeling of helplessness is so acute, there is tremendous relief in knowing that the full resources of a national organization are available to aid in saving life, reducing effects of the disease prolonged care and treatment Douglas County has an ready to meet any polio epidemic, or to serve in individual canes. The Douglas County Chapter for Infantile Paralysis is headed by County Chairman Al Henninger. He has as assist ants Mrs. Iris Hclliwell, vice-chairman ; treasurer, Maurice J. Newland, and a board of directors. The medical staff is headed by Dr. E. J. Wainscott, county health officer; Mary Barrett, county health nurse, and the staff of the, county health department. A physical therapist, Mabel Ward, a reg istered nurse, especially trained in technique of treatment and muscle re-education, is a resident of Brockway and is employed by the Chapter when needed. During 1916, the Douglas County Infantile Paralysis Chapter provided treatment for 'the three cases which de veloped during the year, and continued treatment of two 1915 cases still requiring care. The Chapter expended $2100 and is still paying at the rate treatments. The Chapter has about $4,000 in its reserve fund, a bal ance which could bo wiped out overnight by ono case alone. It is tho desire of those in charge of Chapter affairs to enlarge this fund sufficiently to cover expenses of an epi demic or an unexpected emergency. The need may, perhaps, be better understood if it is realized that individual cases costing from $10,000 to $25,000 for hospitalization, treat ment, convalescent care and mtwelc re-education, ere not at all rare.' Tho Douglas County Chapter has made an extensive sur vey of available hospital facilities. It is general practice to rush victims to Portland, where hot pack machines and other equipment are available. Douglas County physicians have bMj, "briefed" on methods of early diagnosis and how to place cases under Chapter benefits. Through arrangements with tho State Chapter, teams of doctors, nurses and ther apists can be brought into the area quickly if needed. The Stat Chapter has developed emergency hospitalization plans. An emergency field hospital could be in operation within comparatively few hours in case of an epidemic. Some misunderstanding exists in the public's mind con cerning use of the Sister Kenny method of treatment. State ments have been made that the Foundation is antagonistic to this method. These statements are not true. The Founda tion does not attempt to advise medical practices. Methods of treatment are decided by the physician in charge. In the majority of hospitals serving infantilo paralysis patients, however, tho Kenny method, cither in full or modified form, is used quite generally. The Douglas County Chapter recently donated a hot pack machine, a piece of equipment of great importance In the Kenny method, to the Portland hospital where Douglas County patients have been treated. Douglas County is well organized to fight an infantilo paralysis epidemic. The Infantile Paralysis Chapter has in creased its efficiency through practice in handling the for tunatoly limited number of cases during the past two years. It now lacks only an ample emergency fund. This fund can be provided if Douglas County residents will cooperate in the current March of Dimes campaign. A well-stocked treas ury may mean the difference between life and death or be- tw'pcn permanent disability or complete recovery for some i time this season in a hard-fought, infantile paralysis victim in this or coming years.

Junior High, 8th -, Grade Fives Down Springfield Foes Coach "Hod" Turner's Junior High hoop crew copped an im pressive 3SI22 win Saturday night over Springfield's Juniors before a packed house. The eighth-grade Papooses won over iiivii opiiiifMiciu opponents 13-1-1. With either team failini? to click in the first half, the Pa pooses came out at halftime to display outstanding court talent as they racked up 10 points In the inirn quarter and 21 In the final. Very rough throughout the first two quarters, both teams battled on even terms. At the end of the first quarter the score siooo at a rourall tie and the Roseburg club trailed 98 at the half. Webber and Olson, Roseburg reserves, replaced Ingram and Reliman In the third stanza, and, through spectacular ball-hawking and ball-feeding, set tho hall up for repeated clean breaks tnln scoring territory and Papoose points.

' Achieu Wins Over Weidner; Man Conquers Ross 'Sneezo Achiu's nerve-paralyzing jiu-jitsu proved more potent than Billy Weidner' supposedly invincible airplane spin in the the headliner of the weekly wrestling card at the Roseburg Armory Saturday night. With a lall to the credit of each grap pltT, Weidner looked like a sure winner in the third and deciding stanza when he hoisted the Chin aman over his head and begun spinning him. Then, after about the fourth aerial revolution, Sneeze amazed the 650 fans pres ent by applying a chiropractic "sleeper" on Weidner's neck, forcing the Arizonan to relax his grip and collapse on his back. The immediately following body Cress by Sneeze, ending the com at, was a mere formality. Time of the round was 5;-M). Weidner won the first fall of the argument in 14:04 with a full nelson after occasionally using his fists and elbows to retaliate for his foe's jiu-jitsu. Fall No. 2, in a round of tactics largely a copy of the first, went to Sneeze on a trio of shoulder butts; time 10:40. Milan Defeats Ross In the first half of the night's program, Tommy Nilan, the sa wed-off .Australian, miniature Hercules, defeated Tony Ross, the Salem thumper, two out of three falls. Tony gained the first fall in 16:04 with his favorite back-breaker. In the second round, Nilan squirmed out of a crucifix hold and stood Tony on his shoulders to take the fall in 12:21. The bout was decided in the third round when Tony lunged from the ropes and was met with a drop kick that put him flat on his hack and made him an easy victim to a body press; time 10:22.

Vol. IX No. 3 Published Weekly Start Right: Follow Through Unless a Job is started right, there Is going to be plenty of troubles and problems from the Toor start to what w ill probably wind up as a poor ending. Now wo might start the New Year off with a binire and still make a good year out of 1947. That is Because each day and each week can be separate from any oincr aay or wock. But with the job of produc ing a paying flock of turkeys or chickens, we have a completely different proposition. That job starts, lot us sav in rehruary, and is not finished until No vember, as In turkeys, or eigh teen months later with laying hens. With a job lasting so long. It Is certainly highly important to get off to a good start. Then wc can safely say that "a good beginning is half the battle. A paving flock starts with well-hied breeding stock PROP ERLn FED! VVTien sve say "properly fed" we mean fed a e o m p 1 e t e Breeder's Rat ion. When we say "a complete breed er's ration." we mean a Breed er's Mash containing all the food elements, vitarriins and minerals known to be needed by a bird kept for reproduction. Such a feed Is "UMPQUA BREEDER'S MASH.'' Before the war, this was proved to be the equal of ANY Breeder Mash on the market. During the war, no Breeder Mash gave bet ter performance, and few did as well. Now that the war is over, UMPQUA BREEDERS MASH is even better than before the war. Onmo in and let us SHOW YOU OUR FORMULA.

Feed Bag Situation Bad We want to repeat our oft mentioned plea that vou return your emnty UMPQUA branded sacks. Feed prices are going oown siowiy, out are sun plen ty high. I You can say that again. Every time you return a clean UMPQUA branded sack you get a dime, which has the effect of reducing your feed by just that much. Not only that, but it makes it possible for us to main tain a lower price than we pos sibly could if we had to use a brand new sack every time. In addition to all that, sack prices are going higher every day. Due to a short ctod of jute In India, the Indian Govern ment is going onto a "quota system." and will "requisition burlap" for shipment to favored countries, (of which apparently America is not one of), and all that, and all that. Oh, that re minds us of something we once heard. Well, anyway, It w ill pay you to take good care of all your sacks and bring them back. Otherwise, we may have to use paoer bags, cotton nags, or buck ets and nails. Which we could do, except that there Is a short age of all these Items, too. SAVE THE BAGS, but don't get caught holding one. Wheat Stays Up Many of you probably wonder why tho price of wheat doesn't come down along with other va rieties of feed. While there was a huge crop of wheat In 1!M6 and tne crop of this year is es timated even bigger, wheat prices arc drifting upward. The main reason Is that Gov ernment has another lot of "commitments'" and are In Ihe market day aflor day bidding up the price of wheat to fill those commitments. Allocations for February arc equivalent to over "S million bushels of grain for lorelcn shipments, even Includ ing 31,000 long tons to Mexico. Of course, the wheat growers like to see this. But for the guy who is on the buying end ft doesn't sit so well. Incidentally, w heat price at Portland reached a new season's high last week of J2.19 1 8.

We hear so much these days of the high cost of living. Pro ducers are supnosed to be mak ing huge fortunes, and draining every penny from the pay en velopes of the poor wage earn er, who only gets from $1.25 to $2.00 per hour. Plus time and half for overtime. Most of the farmers we talk to claim they are not getting in" on the bi" money, what with turkeys at 24c, eggs 40c, etc. But they point to the fact that the national liquor bill is the high est on record. The same is true of Oregon's intake of joy wa ter. So mavbe history is once more repeating Itself. After the last war, there was less trouble from the high cost of living than from the COST OK HIGH LIVING. Pshaw! Yes. Much less!
