SHORT Douglas County is only about one-half the distance to its goal of $228,000 in the Opportunity Savings Bond Drive which started May 16 and will continue through June. H. 0. Pargeter, county chairman, is urging community workers to greater effort during the closing period of the campaign, stating that committee activity has not been aggressive to date. The situation in Douglas Oregon generally, as the report covering purchases through June 4 listed sales totalling the assigned quota of $9,790,000. Indications are that the purpose, that of stimulating payroll deductions. It is the purpose of the current drive to appeal principally to wage earners to set up a program of systematic savings by buying bonds regularly through the payroll plan. In Douglas County, however, and in Oregon generally, it is apparent sales so far have been largely to the employer group and the so-called "white All bond purchases, of course, are to be commended, no matter who the buyer may be, protection to the individual ; savings on the part of the employee group. Employers and white-collar workers usually have a sav ings program, but too few workers for day wages, even though superior to white-collar workers in average income under present day conditions, have established methods for systematic savings. We were told recently by one of the state's leading bankers that a national study of savings accounts indicated that, with but few exceptions, people having savings accounts today were saving systematically prior to the late war ; that com paratively few people, including those who held high-paying jobs during the war period, had continued additions to reserve funds. It must, of course, be taken into consideration that the standard of living for the average wage earner has advanced considerably during recent years. Due to better rate of pay, and despite higher living costs, he can afford a better home, a better automobile, more labor-saving devices in the home, more entertainment, better clothing, etc. Acquisition' of these things, plus improved living standards, all com mendable, account for disposition of much of the gain in income. But no family can afford to. put everything into advance ment in living standards and exclude entirely a systematic savings program. Many families, it is true, accumulated a reserve fund during war years when they bought bonds for patriotic reasons. Some are holding these bonds for emergency pur poses, timers have some definite plan in mind lor tneir use when prices are more suitable. Statistics show, however, that the payroll savings system is being used by too few people. Here in Douglas County .we operative in buying bonds through the payroll plan. No industry has more ups and downs than the timber industry on which we principally depend for local economy. It has periods of high employment and fluctuating with weather, markets, availability of transpor- tation equipment, etc. Perhaps no worker is less secure in the matter of continuous employment than the timber worker. It is entirely within the worker's power, however, to give himself greater security if, during his period of employment, he makes provision for days when he will be temporarily out of work. No better plan exists to obtain this insurance than the payroll savings program. There is still time to bring Douglas County bond sales up to the assigned quota and it is to be hoped- the goal will be reached and in line with the purpose of the current cam paign. Man Still Lives After Two BALTIMORE, June 14. WP The story of a man who "died" twice on the operating table and came dbck to me ootn times after a surgeon massaged his Heart was torn here Saturday. Physicians said the 49-year-old patient's heart and respiration stopped for 20 minutes at one time ana nine at another. The man, James W. Staneck, entered Maryland General Hos pital for a hernia operation Wed- nesaay. This is the story of what fol lowed as told by Dr. Joseph V, Castaena: Stanek, a printer, was given the customary preoperative phy sical checkup and his heart and lungs were reported in normal condition. He was given a commonly used anesthetic and shortly after wards his breathing stopped, as did his heartbeat. Dr. Castagna made an Incision In the chest and began gently massaging the heart. "According to all the rules," the doctor said, "this man was dead." Twenty minutes after the heart stopped it began to respond un der the massage. Then, Just as signs of life returned, they be gan to disappear. Nurses and doctors started fil ing out of the operating room, OF COAL County is similar to that in $5,419,399, or 55 per cent of campaign is failing of its real purchases through systematic - collar" workers. but the greatest benefit and is to be found in systematic should be particularly co- periods of low employment, 'Deaths' In Operation but the surgeon continued his worn. Again, the signs of life began returning. The heartbeat and respiration picked up. Stanek was placed In an oxy gen tent, where he remained un conscious until Friday morning. He was able to recognize his wife and the doctor Friday utter- noon. Dr. Castagna said Stanek has shown no signs his experience will produce a lasting disability. He is still under close observa tion. Ptomaine Poisoning Hits 250 Persons At Picnic TOPEKA, Kas., June 14.-4n An estimated 250 persons were treated for food poisoning last night following a company pic nic. The victims, arriving by ambu lance, private cars, taxlcaba and on foot, crowded Into five hos pitals. Two hundred persons received emergency treatment at the hos pitals. Doctors estimated 50 more were treated at home. None was in critical condition. County Coroner H. L. Clark said he believed a salad dressing caused the illness and that it definitely was ptomaine poison ing." j-jQ Coaxed Saved by Benjamin Frank lin's "Whistle"! Looking wishfully at my book- friends, hoping for an idea that would Interest the Eighth Grad ers who had invited me to speak at their graduation, I was sud denly asked by a tiny red volume: "What about the whistle, the one Benjamin Franklin paid too much for?" The very thing. That learned gentleman had, at the age of 73, when he was our envoy to France, gone back to his childhood for the story. So he must have thought It Import ant?!' Maybe the1 Curtln School students might, too. After telling about the time when, as a boy of seven, he "paid too much for a whistle," Franklin goes on to tell about adults who also pay too much for whatever the whistle happens to be at the moment. I could tell of a lad who skipped everything he could in high school to devote himself the better to baseball ... he certain ly paid too much for that whistle!

D., flva directions Security Not Fitting Substitute For Self-Reliance, Herbert Hoover Says By DEWITT MACKENZIE Associated Press Foreign Affairs Analyst That was a bold and challenging speech which former President Herbert Hoover made at Ohio Wesleyan University during the week end, when he took a vigorous dig at the brand of "new era" thinking which substitutes security for self-reliance. It's likely to bring him a good deal of mall, pro and con. Certainly the topic la timely, for there are few corners of the world where it isn't being dis cussed and In many cases experi mented witn. liven Jonn isun, who through the generations has stood for solid conservatism, now is up to his neck in Socialism. Hoover said that while "secur ity" eliminates the risks of life, it "also kills the joy that lies in competition, In individual ad venture, new undertakings and new achievements. These contain moral and Intellectual impulses more vital than even profits, for from them alone comes national progress." This is from a man whose life is a romance of American suc cess. He was orphaned at 10 and was self-supporting by 15. He rose to the top as a mining- engineer, working in many parts of the world. Fame came to him for his relief administration work in Europe during World War one, and finally he was elected to the presidency. Previously he had served eight years as secre tary oi commerce. And it is recorded that Hoover gave every dollar from his public salaries to help the needy. But let's get back to that speech. no substitute For Profit At all times in history there have been many who sought es cape into 'security' from self reliance," said the ex-president. And, if you will look over the workings of these newest eras throughout the world, you may note that the judgment of the Lord on Adam has not been en tirely reversed, even by the Supreme Court of the United States. 'Moreover, governments have not been able to fix the wages of sin. Nor have they found a substitute for profit . and other personal stimulants." Do you remember what the Lord said to Adam? It went like this: Because thou has hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and has eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; "Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; "In the sweat of thy face shalt tnou eat oread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou re turn." The United States hasn't em braced all the new era Ideas, said Mr. Hoover, adding: "The reactionary notion of equal opportunity with the right of everyone to go as far as his ambitions and abilities will take him, provided Jie does not tres pass on others,1 still holds in the American dream."

Well, Britain for one is making a great experiment in socialism. She has had some four years of Socialism, going far in nation alization and even daring to socialize medicine. Another gen eral election is due to be held by July of next year, and then the people will pass the verdict on the question of security versus self-reliance, as Mr. Hoover phrases it. That verdict will be by a na tion which achieved its greatness through "competition, in individ ual adventure, new undertakings and new achievements."
