One Misfortune After Another Hits Boy, Aged 3 SAN ANTONIO, Tex.' P No troubles in the life of a three- year-old? ! Look what happened to David Hopkins just in the last few months: Last November he developed In fected tonsils and had to have them removed. In January he suffered an ab ress in one ear, then fell ten feet from the back steps to a concrete sidewalk and suffered minor bruises and abrasions. Later in January David developed an al lergy to a medicine he was taking for chronic asthma. On March S he developed a case of measles. He had barely recov ered last Saturday when he con tracted a case of mumps. The mumps was just well under way when Monday he also acquired a case of chicken pox. Davis is looking hopefully ahead to getting out of the three-year-old stae shortly. His birthday falls on April 1. Canyonville By MRS. H. M.

Each was fined $50. Both were arrested by the state police. Salary Boost Offer Disappoints Teachers (Continued from page One) teachers met with the board of education again and requested that a cost-of-living increase of $350, instead of the $300 be granted for 1951-52. This request represented 10 percent of the average teach ers' salary for 1950-51. The request for annual increment remained at $120, making a total increase re quest of $470. "The request for $350 cost-of-living increase was based on the fol lowing information: "1. On February 12, Mirheal Di Salle (Federal price stabilizer) said he expects the 'general price level to go up another five or six percent or even more before some degree of stability is achieved, pnobably about mid summer' (Feb. 12, News-Review). , "2. In February the wage stabi lization board allowed wage in creases up to 10 percent above the January 1950 level. "3. Several young married men ieachers with families are having a difficult time financially this year. "4. According to the papers, sev eral groups in industry and govern ment are getting increases now. The requested increases for teach ers will not go into effect until September 1951. Pay Hlgh.r Taxes "5. Sixty-two of the teachers who were teaching in Roseburg last year are taking home less in their pay check this year than last be cause of increased income taxes. This is true in spite of the fact they received a $60 annual incre ment above that which they were paid in 1949-50. Of the 37 teachers who take home more pay this year than last, 23 do so because of a change in dependency, increased training or change in job sattus. "6. Roseburg teachers compare favorably with other teachers in other districts based upon a com parison of average salaries paid this year. However, living costs in this area are higher than in other areas of the state. "Information gathered since March 5 from a survey made by the Oregon Education association and reports from superintendents at a meeting in Portland March 10 show that 25 first class dis tricts have been granted cost-of-living increases ranging from $200 to $425. These do not include the annual increment. The average cost of living increase in these 25 districts is about $3.40. As yet, there are a large number of the first-class districts in Oregon which have not taken final action on teachers' salaries. "The budget committee of dis trict 4 on March 6 granted a $200 cost-of-living increase and a $100 annual increment."

The latest haul also included $55,000 worht of baubles belonging to the Marchioness Florence De Montferrier, a customer who was in the shop at the time. Police said the bandit, as he did the previous time, overlooked thou sands of dollars' worth of other gems. House Speaker Battles To Prevent RFC Scuttle WASHINGTON (.V). House Speaker Sam Rayburn t'D-Tex) has thrown his influence against the rising demand in Congress to kill the Reconstruction Finance corpor ation. Rayburn told a news conference the RFC has done "a remarkable job" of great benefit to small busi ness.

Arkansas, but he likes it. He also likes hunting with tins hounds, but for a while he didn't feel like doing much of anything. He had that run-down feeling, aches and pains, and 'k lust didn't seem ui nave any ap- i i peine. Being an ,v active man, he Runnell :iuin i. use no l feeling well, and decided to do something about it. He heard about how HADACOL had helped many folks with trou bles like his due to a deficiency of Vitamins Rl, B2, Iron and Nia cin and decided to give it a trial. He made a good dcision, for HAD ACOL did help him. Soon, his aches and pains were relieved, he had a good aupetite, really enjoyed his food, and he rested well. Mr. Runnels says: "I am in the construction busi ness, which everyone knows is mighty heavy work. I was work ing so hard, and just didn't seem to have any appetite at all. I started having aches and pains at about the same time. Then, about j that time I decided to give HADA- COL a trial. Right away, my ach- ing was greatly relieved and my appetite picked up. I started eat ing regular meals, sleeping well, , and my general condition was ; greally improved. I have since continued taking HADACOL recu ' l.'rly. and feel that it is a wonder ful product. I freely recommend HADACOL as a good product." HADACOL can help you if you suffer such deficiencies. Ask your 1 druggist for HADACOL today. 1 w' M. H. Fire Dept. Colls Made On Wrong Phone Numbor The Roseburg fire department is still getting numerous general calls on its emergency fire line. Fire Chief William E. Mills again reminds people celling the depart ment for fire permits or for gen eral information to dial 3-3226, in stead of 2-2644, which is tho num ber to call te report fire. Many calls come in daily on the latter line, thus alerting the de partment for action, whereas the calls should be made on line 3-3226. Only one number is listed in the telephone book, so local folks are requested by the fire department to jot down this number for non emergency use.
