Theta Sigma Phi Lunch to Honor Oregon Author Martha Ferguson McKeown, au thor of a recent book on early life in the Pacific Northwest, will be honored at a Theta Sigma Phi luncheon at noon Saturday at the Faculty clutr. Students and faculty interested in journalism and literature are in vited to attend the semi-formal luncheon. Reservations may be made at the school of journalism. Mrs. McKeown’s book, “The Trail Led North,” published this fall by the MacMillan company, is an ac count of the tales spun by her un cle, Mont Hawthorne, of his life in the Northwest before the turn of the century. It is written in his own language to preserve the character of the story. Both the style of the book and one of its main charac ters, the faithful bumbling dog Pe dro, have received much favorable comment from literary critics. “The Trail Led North” is the first in a proposed trilogy on the life of Uncle Mont, according to Mrs. McKeown. She has planned one book to tell of his days on the plains as a boy and another about his life since settling on a Hood River farm. Mrs. McKeown, who received her master's degree in English from the University in 1938, is a former dean of women of Multnomah col lege in Portland. Pledges to Theta Sigma Phi, na tional professional fraternity for women in journalism, will be tapped at the luncheon. Early Fire Guts School WILLAMETTE, Ore., Jan. 5— (AP)—A fast-spreading fire gut ted the $300,000 Willamette grade school today, less than an hour be fore the school would have been filled with 225 pupils. The flames burst out before school opened this morning. Class bound pupils rescued some manual training equipment and library books, but most of the furnishings were destroyed. Minor Davidson, the school jan itor, said the fire started about 8 a.m., and spread to several differ ent sections even before he could sound the alarm. Fire officials said the blaze might have been caused by a boiler ex ploding, or by wiring. It apparently spread beneath the floors. This was the second Clackamas county school burned within a year. The Lake Grove high school burned down early in 1948. Willamette’s 225 pupils will be sent to other grade schools in the county, until a new structure is built.

THAT’S A FAIR QUESTION-and the American Cancer Society welcomes this oppor tunity to answer it, before one of our Field Workers comes to your door for your 1948 con tribution. Part of every dollar which you and other generous Americans gave to us last year went for cancer research, part for cancer education, and part for cancer medical service. Let’s see exactly what those terms mean. YOUR MONEY WENT FOR CANCER RESEARCH There exists no more powerful weapon against cancer than research. Research has given us X-ray, radium, and surgical tech niques for the treatment of cancer. It is re search which will deal cancer the most tell ing blows in the future—perhaps, please God, the deathblow which will some day wipe out this dread disease. Thousands of scientists are engaged in cancer research right now. For this purpose they are provided with an arsenal of ex pensive technical equipment. Last year, part of your money went to ward the more than $3,000,000 set aside in 1947 for cancer research. YOUR MONEY WENT FOR CANCER EDUCATION Education begins where research leaves off. ' . It distributes knowledge already gained to everyone who should have it. Education requires the use of every avail able means of public information. It calls for booklets, posters, and billboards, radio transcriptions, magazine and newspaper messages to the public, films, and leaflets. Nearly 50,000,000 pieces of printed ma terial alone were produced and distributed by the Society in 1947. Last year, part of your money went to ward doing that job. YOUR MONEY WENT TOR CANCER MEDICAL SERVICE Medical service backs up the direct attack against cancer. By means of scientific papers, technical films, lectures and other services, physicians and scientists are kept informed of the latest developments in the detection, treatment, and cure of cancer. In your own community, the Society’s Field Army of volunteer workers renders personal aid to cancer patients. The Field Army also helps establish and staff local detection centers and cancer clinics and publicizes them locally. Last year, part of your money went for cancer medical service. That’s what we did with the money yea gave us last year. Now we need more—to fight for the one out of every eight persons still marked to be stricken by cancer. Maybe one of them is the man who sat beside you at the movie? last night . . . maybe it’s a person who lives on your street.. . maybe it’s a friend or a member of your family . . . maybe it’s you. Whoever it is, there’s hope— if you give! Will you aid the fight for his life—again this year—with as big a contribution as you can possibly manage? A
