Sputnik II May Co For A Year WASHINGTON' i U.S. scien tists say that Russia's second sat ellite may continue circling the earth for a year or more. Some earlier thought among scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory was that the half-ton Sputnik 11 might plunge earthward earlier than Sputnik 1. There have been predictions the first satellite, a small sphere, will fall out of orbit Dec. 11. The scientists said Sputnik II is apparently slowing down more gradually than they previously be lieved. Meanwhile, a spokesman for the U.S. space satellite program, Proj ect Vanguard, said American scien- i lists are "now pretty close" to asking that tne launching pad at : Cape Canaveral. Kla., be cleared ! for firing the first U.S. satellite : lest sphere. Announced American plans call for launching small test spheres next month and firing the first ; fully developed satellite in March, i A spokesman for the Grand Cen tral Rocket Co.. llentone, Calif., said his firm was notified bv the Navy Tuesday night that the" first U.S. test satellite, a sphere 6.4 inches in diameter, would go aloft Dec. 1. In Washington, the Navy said no exact date has been set, although it said it still plans firings next month.

Stranded Aircraft Undergoes Repair On Little America AUCKLAND, N.Z. iiP Six men have returned to Little America in the Antarctic after working nonstop for 36 hours changing an engine on a slranded U.S. Navy Dakota. A message received here Wednesday from Little America said the party worked in near zero temperatures to complete the iob. which normally takes two or three days in a well-equipped workshop. The Dakota was forced down on Ross Shelf, 200 miles from Little America. II is the first of four grounded Navy aircraft to be repaired. The others are a Nep tune at the South Pole, a Dakota at the foot of Beardmore Glacier, and another Neptune at McMurdo Sound. Rolla J. Crick, a reporter for the Oregon Journal, was among those stranded at the South Pole with the downed Neptune. WASHINGTON i.fi The Inter state Commerce Commission said .Monday a complete failure of a "seriously defective" brake sys tem led to the spectacular down hill runaway of a tractor-trailer at Dunsmuir, Calif., last July 12. Racing into the town at 75 miles per hour, the heavily loaded ve hicle hit 12 automobiles and four buildings, killing two persons and injuring eight, "This accident serves to demon strate the effect of inadequate maintenance at its worse," ICC said. "The driver involved did not possess the minimum physical and experience qualifications re quired of drivers of vehicles in interstate commerce required by this commission." Threat Issued The ICC said "appropriate en- : forcement action will be insti- : tilled, but declined to elaborate, j The Dunsmuir accident involved a vehicle owned and operated by Cecil Payne Supply Co. of Tucson, ! Ariz. At the time, it was trans i porting a 76. 000-pound load of ply j wood from Albany, Ore., to the I Tucson area. I The driver, the commission ! said, was Buel Kinchcioe, 35, of j Tucson, described as without pre J vious experience in handling this type ol neavy vehicle alone, ine commission said that at the time of the accident he was tinder treatment for a nervous condition. Although the vehicle was liter ally demolished in overturning in Dunsmuir, the driver was only slightly injured. Stopped in Roseburg The ICC investigators reported thai on the fatal trip, the vehicle i was stopped at Roseburg, Ore., and the driver was fined for hav ing an overload, which he was required to lighten. Subsequently, the truck was stopped for engine repairs and for a flat tire. On the road, the report said, a Siskiyou County California deputy sherilf stopped the driver to call his attention to a missing brake drum and to direct that repairs be made. The driver said he went to Ml. Shasta for these repairs, but could not obtain them there and was going on to Dunsmuir when the braking system failed completely. The commission said it appeared the vehicle had brakes on only five of its ten wheels. BLM Activities Are Explained At Meeting BAKER, Ore.

Health Department Important Cog In Government Of Douglas County By BILL SANDERS Stiff Writer, N.ws-Revi.w The county government is com posed oi many agencies mat per form various functions, out one of the most important of these agen cies is the health department. The department, headed by Dr. Mary Soules, health officer, is en trusted with the job of protecting the health and general welfare of all the citizens of Douglas Coun ty. The health department also of fers many free services and aides, but many of these are unknown to residents of Douglas County who could best profit by the benefits they promise. A number of clinics are conduct ed by the department where chil dren of school and pre-school age may receive examinations for va rious ailments absolutely tree. The department also offers free nurs ing consultation for expectant mothers on referral from a private physician. One of the most important func tions of any health department is to protect against the outbreak of communicable diseases and pre vent epidemics. Disease Program Big The communicable disease pro gram conducted by the Douglas County Health Dept. is one of its biggest jobs. The department holds a clinic every Monday for immu nization purposes. At these clinics Dr. Soulcs gives all shots and vac cinations. In fact she puiiorms this duty wherever the immuniza tion program n carried on in the county, either in the health office in the courthouse or in county schools. v I The health officer and nurses make the rounds of schools in tne county once each year and immu nize students against such diseases as smallpox, dyphtheria, tetanus and polio. A slight fee Is charged for shots, but this charge is for the vaccine used because the cost isn't carried in the health department's budget. However, there is no cost for polio shots. Third polio shots are being given this year. TB Is High On List Tuberculosis is a communicable disease high on the list of the health department, and is k e p t under close surveillance. The de partment keeps close tabs on all known cases in the county and any I contacts they make. When new leases of tuberculosis are discover led they are immediately referred j to doctors for treatment. I Dr. Soules reports that state law required that all personnel work ' ing in schools must be free from TB. All school employes must be certified through the county health office. Several communities in Douglas County also have ordin ances requiring food handlers to be free from TB to be employed. If a number of cases of TB break out in some industry or other organization, the county health officer can request the TB X-ray unit be sent from Portland if she feels the need exists. Clinics Sat For Children In other areas of physical health, several clinics are conducted for pre-school age children. Dr. Soules visits communities around the county at various times and di rects what is called a well-child conference. This type of clinic is adapted for children who are ap parently normal and healthy. Mothers may bring their children to the well-child conference for free physical examinations. and im munization. If any illness is dis covered through these examina tions, the child is referred to the family physician. Another service for pre - school children is the diagnostic crippled children s clinic which is ottered twice a year. An orthopedist comes to Roseburg from Portland for this clinic. If any deformities are found in the children examined, they are referred to the family physician, but if the family can't afford treatment the case is re ferred to the State Division of Thanksgiving Day Feasting...

Crippled Children which is affili ated with the University ot Ore gon .Medical School. A child guidance clinic is con ducted once a month. This clinic is for children who are emotional ly distrubed. Four times a year the department also operates a speech clinic for pre-school chil dren who have speech deficiencies. Vision Clinic Arranged An innovation in clinical treat ment was performed in Douglas County this year. Dr. Soules re ports that the health department conducted a vision clinic for pre school children during 1957, which was probably the only one of its kind in a county in the U.S. The clinic ran from April to June and if any vision corrections were found necessary, the children were again referred to the care of a doctor. I The department also offers a I generalised nursing service which tunctions to give aid wherever needed and also refer individuals to physicians when it is deemed necessary. The county health nurses also at tempt to detect illness where it exists and explain the services that are available through the health office to the general public. County healln nurses also go to public schools around the county on regular schedules. During these visits to schools they work closely with teachers and inspect children referred to them by the teachers. The nurses in turn refer any chil dren they find needing care, to the parents. Parents Aid In Plans Nurses work with the schools and parents on plans for examina tions. Physicals are advised bv the health office for students entering the first and ninth grades. Nurses hold conferences with teachers every fall, to work out health plans for the coming year. Hearing tests are conducted In schools by specialists from the State Board of Health and county nurses follow up their findings by talking to parents and referring cases to doctors when necessary. These hearing tests are conducted every year for first grade students and every three years for other grades in elementary schools. County nurses are also held re sponsible for clearing children to return to school after they have had a communicable disease. The county health office acts principally as a referral agency and performs no medical treat ment as such to patients. The health office also works closely with all other health agencies in the state. Sanitarians, a vital aspect of the County Health Dept., will be discussed in another article.
