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.

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.
