That is one reason chapter officers are particularly anxious for success of the emergency polio fund-raising campaign now in progress nationally. Counties are authorized to receive assistance from the National foundation when their own funds are gone. But at present the national reserve fund is virtually exhausted due to the extremely heavy current case load, plus the money necessary to continue aid to victims of previous epidemics. At a meeting of the county chapter directors this week, Treasurer Maurice Newland reported a balance in the county fund of approximately $13,000. This seems to be a fairly large sum of money, exhausted is indicated by one of the bills received at that meeting, showing approximately $600 expense for treat ment of only one Douglas county patient for just one week. This patient still is receiving hospital care, although the weekly cost now is much lower. At the same time two other cases are receiving hospitalization at costs in excess of $100 per week each. Given even a minor epidemic, Douglas county's reserve fund would be quickly exhausted. The county chapter Is making no concerted or organized campaign to raise funds sought during the emergency drive. It is, however, urging voluntary contributions, which may be placed in the mail addressed only to "Polio," Roseburg. Ore. A. G. Henninger, county chairman, reports that the response to the appeal so far has been very encouraging. It is obvious, however, that people seldom respond to an appeal for voluntary contributions as readily as to personal solicitation. Henninger is hoping that this time the volun tary response will be enthusiastic. Douglas county, Henninger points out, was fourth in the state in per capita contributions to the 1949 March of Dimes and was far ahead of any of the state's larger counties. Per capita contributions were In excess of 92 cents. Grant, Jefferson and Wheeler counties, each with small population, led the list, Douglas being first in per capita rate- among the more thickly populated counties. The chairman is very hopeful that Douglas county can stand in first place percentage-wise in voluntary contribu tions. All money raised locally through the emergency campaign, chapter officers report, will be forwarded to the National foundation. None will be retained here. Should Douglas county have an epidemic, a credit will have been set up with the national headquarters and, in the meantime, funds will be available to combat the epidemic and aid victims wherever they may be. The county chapter, Henninger points out, is given positive assurance of finan cial aid from the national fund should any emergency arise. Money donated to the emergency campaign is good in surance, because few families, except those with extreme wealth, can afford the cost accompanying an attack of polio one of the most expensive of all diseases to treat. Since the polio fund was started to furnish aid to all victims, many families have been saved from absolute bankruptcy. The need now is more critical than ever before. A contribution mailed to "Polio" Roseburg, may save a life and, at least, will aid some suffering individual somewhere, at the same time act as insurance against local emergency need. Lack Of Driving Courtesy Cause Of Most Accidents, Toastmistresses Are Told The first fall meeting of the Roseburg Toastmistress club was hrld Tuesday at 7 p.m.. at Carl's Maven, with 11 members and four guests present for the din ner meeting, reported Mrs. I'hil ttartn.

Tuttle stressed the number of lives lost and the property damage which results from failing to yield the right of way to other driven. She said Roseburg sees an aver age of ten to 12 accidents a week caused by this failure to observe common driving courtesy. Cites Ancient Probltm Although modern drivers' acci dents are caused hy a tendency to speed, especially at night, she cited the traffic problems nf ancient Rome to show that the problem is not a new one. Mrs. Winston's talk on snakes was based on a theme on rattle snakes she wrote as a colleg" freshman. Describing and ex plaining the difference in thi four types and 19 species of rat tlesnakes, she said the bite of the Pacific variety causes more deaths thanv any other kind.

Laurence Clifton Jones in 1!H)7 refused a good business offer, and chose to go Into the deep South as a day laborer, but his dream was to start a school, a school where no Negro child should be turned away for lack of money, a place where stu dents should learn by doing, and also acquire training In academic subjects to make them articulate, and a sane religious training to replace superstition and fear.

In the Day's News (Continued From Page One) bers In the United States, he told the senators, is somewhere be tween 75,000 and 100,000. But, he added, about FOUR MILLION PEOPLE In this country are un der the communist discipline. WELL, the best figures we have Indicate that in Russia some live million or six million com munist party members run the lives of some 200 million Rus sians. To my mind, that demonstrates clearly the nature of commun ism. It is a racket that reserves the cream for the chosen few at the top and leaves the skim milk for the dupes at the bottom. That's an old system In the world. Communism Is Just a new application of It. , av Pennsylvania the other day, I at a special election held to fill a vacancy in the house of representatives of the congress of the United States, a navy vet eran by the name of Saylor, a Republican, decisively defeated a gold star mother and a Demo crat, name of Mrs. Robert L. Coffey. This Is the point of Interest: . Mrs. Coffey had campaigned on a promise to help repeal the Taft-Hartley labor law and to back completely the Truman "Fair Deal" program. She had the endorsement of both the AFL and the CIO. Saylor made this his sole Issue: "The American way of life, free enterprise and opportunity vs. the regimented semi-police state In the socialistic welfare state philosophy." PERSONALLY, I think that is the big issue now, and I think it will be the big, underlying Is sue in every electon for years to come. I'm glad that Saylor, stat ing It flatly and standing pat on his statement, won out. nLEASE don't get me wrong. That Is my purely personal opinion. I grant fully the right of every other American to hold a contrary opinion, and I concede that If a majority of Americans continue to prefer the welfare slate that Is what we are going to have in this country. Those ! "f us who don't like it will simply have to make the best of it. j But I think this is a time for ! speaking out in public on this vital matter of he future of our country.
