The substance ordinarily spoken

largely a matter of custom rather
than of physiological need. Most
of our foods contain considerable
amounts of this substance in the

probably provide nearly sulficient
of it lor the body needs if we did

Social Security
Law 20 Years Old;
Benefits Climb .
Sunday, exactly 20 years after
President Roosevelt signed the or
iginal Social Security law, it is
estimated that the program will
be returning $120,000 per month
to about 2,400 qualified benefici
aries under old age and survivors
insurance in Douglas County.
This was the report today from
Dean O. Haley, district manager
for the Social Security Adminis
tration. The old age and survivors in
surance program now covers par
tially income lost through old age
retirement and loss of income to
family when the breadwinner has
died. Amendments have broaden
ed the program to one of family
insurance for nine out of 10 pro
ductive workers in the United
Slates.
Haley said that In 1955, about
18,000 workers in Douglas County
will have earnings covered by the
Old Age and Survivors Insurance
program.
Tracing a little history, Haley
relates that Ben Lipscomb, de
ceased, opened an office in Eu
gene in July 1937 to serve south
west Oregon. He had two clerks
as helpers. Now the organization
maintains offices in Eugene and
Medford to serve the same terri
tory." in Douglas County, a represent
ative holds office hours regularly
In Roseburg, Myrtle Creek and
Reedsport.
The latest innovation in the old
age and survivors insurance pro
gram is a provision wnicn Be
came effective in July to provide
what amounts to a waiver of
premium lo those who become
disabled and are not able to pro
tect their benefit rights. It can
be used to exclude periods of low
earnings during his disability from
the determination of his benefit
rights.
Detailed information from one
recent month shows 2,215 people
benefited from the old age and
survivors insurance to the tune of
$106,584.

He will be accompanied by his son-in-law,

Cooper, now past 80. Is thought
to be one of two survivors of the

the Oregon Agricultural College,
though, of course, other regimen
tal veterans are living.
A member of Co. K., Cooner was

when a flaming F8IF jet fighter
plane struck a power line, burst
into flames, skidded across the top

Carl Vern Smith
Is Given Another
Chance By Judge
A 23-year-old man, Carl Vern
Smith, was granted a new lease on
life in circuit court Friday when
Judge Carl E. Wimberly granted
him probation and a chance to vis
it his father, who is critically ill
in Colorado.
Smith was given a two-pear pris
on sentence after he pleaded gumy
to taking and using an automobile
without permission.
After lie pleaded guilty to a dis
trict attorney's information, Smith
was granted probation despite tne
fact he once before violated pro
bation and was sent to the peniten
tiary. Probation had been asked by at
torney Robert G. Davis, appointed
to represent Smith. Davis blamed
Smith's present and past difficul
ties on drinking.
Smith told the judge he believes
he can stay away from liquor. He
said he didn't realize what it fine
penitentiary) was going to be like
or he wouldn't have violated pro
bation in 1952 on a one-year term
for bad checks.
The crime to which he pleaded
guilty Friday occurred on July
when Smith and another young
man allegedly took a station wag
on belonging to -Mel M. Hanna. lo
cal labor official near the Labor
Temple in Roseburg.
It was brought out that Hanna
had left the keys in the auto. Dep
Disl. Atty. lion n. Sanders ex
plained that Hanna had gone out
to his car to leave, then had been
delayed by a call in his office.
Judge Wimberly noted that "He
probably will not leave his keys in
his car again." But the judge
warned the defendant that the fact
keys are left in a car "doesn't
authorize you to take it."
The young men started driving
the vehicle to Suthcrlin, but were
apprehended by state police near
Winchester. Thev did not intend
to permanently deprive Hanna of
his car, Davis stated.
Smith, who was picked up loi
drunkenness the first time when
only 15, said they had been drink
ing heavily that day.
If he can be supervised and kept
from drinking, he "can find a use
ful place in our society," Davis
told the court.
Judge Wimberly said Smith
could have one more chance, and
gave permission for him to visit
his father at Grand Junction, if
the visit is approved by Jake
Lcicht, probation officer.

Creswell Family
Doubles In Size
With Adoptions
WASHINGTON ( - The family
of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Holt of
Creswell, Ore., more than doubled
in size Friday when President
Eisenhower signed a bill permit
ting Holt to bring home eight
orphaned children from Korea.
The Holts, who operate a 353
acre farm near Creswell, have six
children of their own and are send
ing money and clothing to 29 other
Korean orphans. The special legis
lation, introduced by Rep. Edith
Green (D-Ore) and guided through
Consress by the whole Oregon del
egation, authorizes legal entry into
the U. S. of the four boys and four
girls the Holts adopted.
Holt went to Korea not long ago
to arrange the trip, and was to
leave as soon as the bill was
signed. The Korean children range
in age from six months to three
years.
Rep. Green said she had received
a letter from one of Holt's own
daughters, saying:
"We are waiting for our brothers
and sisters to come home. We have
eight cribs with their names paint
ed on them."
Besides his farm, Holt has an
interest in a lumber mill and owns
land on the Oregon coast. Mrs.
Green described him as "very well
situated financially."
Governors Urge
Highways, Bypass
Payment Methods
By JACK BELL
CHICAGO 11 The annual Gov
ernors' Conference has checked to
Consress the job of finding a way
to finance a vast new highway
build'ng program it called "vital
to the nation's economy and de
fense." Entertained at the annual all
star football game last night, the
Governors scattered to their states
after electing Washington's Repub
lican Gov. Arthur B. Langlie as
chairman and picking Atlantic
City, N. J. as the site for next
year's session.
In a windup business meeting
the governors approved a rcsolu
t;on endorsing the "objectives" of
President Eisenhower's super high
way building program.
But on the suggestion of Gov.
Averell Harriman of New York,
they cut out of the resolution words
that might have been interpreted as
aoprovlng Eisenhower's proposal
of financing this long range pro
gram. The governors also avoided men
tion of possible tax increases to fi
nance such a program, but they
said the Federal Government ought
to put back into roads "far more"
than the present 875 mill:on dol
ars allotted to that purpose out of
214 billions raised by U.S. levies
on highway users.

SALEM, OREGON
examples of the good the blood
recruitment program was doing.
But meantime, the shortage of
blood is critical again as the an
nouncement was made that the
Red Cross bloodmobile would be
in Douglas County next week.
It will stop in Roseburg Wed-'
nesday and Thursday, Aug. 17 and
18, at the Elks Ballroom. Friday
it will be at Rebekah Hall in
Suthcrlin. The bloodmobile. will be
accepting donors from 3 to 7 p.m.
daily.
Stressing the critical shortage
of blood, Mrs. Brittell said last
year 1,500 pints were colbcled in
Douglas County, and at the same
time, 1,260 pints were used in
four hospitals Mercy, Douglas
Community, Myrtle Creek and
Forest Glen. Other pints of the
remaining 240 were used in Port
land hospitals.
This shortage, she said, does
not exist only in local hospitals,
but also in the 84 hospitals partic
ipating in the program in the
state. Through the program, par
ticipating hospitals are able to pro
vide blood to patients free of
charge, except for an adminis
trative fee.
The quota for Douglas County
has been set at 380 pints. This
means 150 pints a day at Hose
burg and 80 pints at Sutherlin.
Beside the local hospitals, Doug
las County residents undergoing
surgery in Portland hospitals have
drawn on the blood bank, in
each case, blood was a necessary
factor in performing the surgery.
One of these was Mrs. Cheatwood.
"The operation could not have
been accomplished had it not been
for the whole blood made avail
able to the Red Cross blood cen
ter in Portland," Mrs. Cheatwood
said gratefully.
Two other cases involved blood
made available through Douglas
County collections.
Just last week, Ward Cumirrtngs
of Roseburg had surgery in the
Portland Veterans Hospital, and
blood was demanded. Linda
Strickling. 15-year-old daughter of
