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.

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

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.
