Tht Newt-Revitw, Roitburf , Ore. Frl., Jon. 18, 1952 Life Problems Abroad Topics Of 'Y' Speaker Problems of Illiteracy, unequal distribution of land and extremely dense population are real and they're serious, a YMCA banquet speaker aid Thursday night. The speaker was Dr. Robert And erson, Salem surgeon, member of the YMCA board there and chair man of the Pacific Northwest Health and Physical Education Committee. He spoke to some 70 persons attending the third annual YMCA banquet at the Methodist Church. Dr. Anderson, widely traveled, pointed out that the population den sity of Italy is 400 persons per square mile, of Japan, 469 per square mile. Thil compares to JAN. 19! 47 per square mile for the United States as a whole and 13 per square mile for Oregon. It takes two to three acres of cultivated land to support one per son one year, Anderson said. At 40 acres per square mile, some areas just don't have sufficient land to support their population, he ex plained. "It's a real problem," he said, "We find it hard in this country to realize what It could be to have too little land." Another serioua problem Is il literacy, often as high as 90 per cent in some parts of Italy, And erson said. "I can understand why Comm unism appeals to them It's the only thing that gives them hope. It's hard to conceive here of lack of hope." Speaking of the YMCA program he commented: "I believe we have within our grasp to do something that can't be done any other way to carry the story of America to the people of all the world to the best of our ability. They need our know - how, our machines and our help." He cited the example of the icu coss of i Mexican YMCA summer recreation camp and rural rehabil itation project which aided Mex ican farmers in the area. COME IN!

X-Ray Program Benefits Told Rotary Group The death rate from tubercu losis In Oregon is low, but that doea not mean that the chest X ray aurvey now being conducted in Douglas County is unimportant. That was the point stressed by Miss Bertha Parkhurst, health education consultant from the Oregon State Board of Health, in a speech delivered before mem bers of the Rotary Club in the Hotel umpqua inursaay. Miss Parkhurst was accomoan led by the executive secretary of tne Douglas county ia ana Health Association. Mrs. W. F. Amiot, who spoke briefly on X ray unit aisiriDuuon. Prevention is still the best method of meeting TB. the speaker emphasized. "The incidence of tuberculosis in Oregon is low, but there are a number of active cases that have not been discovered," Miss Parkhurst said. And it is throueh these unknown cases that the disease is spread, she stated, from each carrier of the germ, several others may oe intecteo. Early detection also means money saved, Miss Parkhurst noted. A case early discovered can be frequently cured by one year of sanitorium treatment at a cost of $2500, but advanced cases often require years of spe cial care. Miss Parkhurst urged all or ganizations to make application for mass X-rays. She also called for volunteers to aid in the sur vey, especially those persons bav in? a clerical background. Ira B y r d, Douglaa County chairman of the drive, m highly praised for his organiza tional work. "But if the survey is to be suc cessful all persons will have to cooperate," she said. Arthur H.
