In addition to the ex|>ected in fantile paralysis cases that will occur during the year, there are now 42 holdover patients who were s'ricken in 1950 and who still require treatment. All workers in the March of Dimes are volunte* i i, Mrs. Hor ton emphasized, and no one gets paid for his or her efforts. Help Fight Polio! "Every cent you can give will be used to fight polio either in medical research or by giving aid to those who contact the disease," Mrs. Horton added. On the state scene, treasuries of many of Oregon's .’Ui chapters of the National Foundation for In- fantile Paralysis have been emp tied or badly depleted during a year that brought the state an unprecedented 515 to 520 polio cases. Three hunderd and twenty- five Oregonians were stricken in 1949, and carry-over cases from that year, and even earlier, have a<ld*'d to the drain on Oregon chapters. THE MARCH OF DIMES The national picture was much the same, according to Dr. E. T. Hedlund of Portland, who is serv ing as state March of Dimes chairman for the 13th consecutive year. Dr. Hedlund said that 1950 was the third straight year of high polio incidence in this coun try. More than 100,000 cases were totaled for 1948-1949-1950 com bined or almost as many as the entire case load for the previous decade. March of Dimes monies needed for patient care and epi demic aid during the three years amounted to $58.000,000. "In this state last year,” Dr. Hedlund said, "one case alone cost the C ottage G rove S entinel more than $12.000. The disease la always expensive, io dollars and cents and in human suffering, and this is a most crucial point in our battle against it. Let's all punch together to kayo polio." His apfieal was backed by Presi dent Truman and Governor Doug las McKay. Mr. Truman declared that the battle against polio is "everyone’s fight" and "no victim stands alone." Governor McKay said that “if ever a great humani tarian cause needed the support of every American, th«- March of Dimes is that cause and thia ia the time." DON’T FORGET S< HOOI. BOND El.

(Camp Koberts PIO Photo) No Mobilization Imminent for Nat’l Guard Company The Cottage Grove National Guard company was reassured Wednesday by Major General Thomas E. Rilea, Adjutant Gen- eral for Oregon. In a telephone conversation with General Rilea, Captain Mer lin Bullard, commanding officer. Heavy Mortar Company, 162nd Infantry, Cottage Grove, was re assured that his company was not slated for immediate mobilization. The General stated that In his re cent conversations with Army of ficials in Washington, D. C., there was no indication of any immedi ate mobilization of the 41st Divi sion or its component organiza tions. General Rilea did advise that an increased effort should be made to bring the unit to full authorized strength during the present recruiting campaign. While the Heavy Mortar Com pany made an outstanding record in its recent Federal inspection, Rilea said, the strength of the unit was only average, which pre vented it from gaining a "Su perior" rating. GARDEN CLUB DISPLAYS VARIETY OF FLOWERS At the meeting of the P.D j G. Garden club Friday. Jan. 5, seven teen different varities of flowers grown outside were displayed. The meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Knaffle Haynes with Mrs. Alfred Wulff as co-hostess. Mrs. Andrew Brund presented the les- son on "Cold Frames and Hot- beds." Memtiers answered roll call on "The Most Satisfactory Plant." The next meeting will be Feb. 2 with Mrs. Mr< Lot Wagner. by the company in conjunction with government and private in dustry officials. Logs for the operation are gath ered in four different logged-off areas and a photograph is taken of each of the 100 logs being used in the experiment as It is run through the plant. The photos will be used later to determine extent of deterioration of each log and to aid in the study of fungus growth. Veneer will be shipped to the Western Veneer Co. in Junction City for fur’her processing. Al though this process is still in the experimental stage, It is believed the plywood gained from conky logs will prove satisfactory in in stances where special strength is not required. Main uses of the plywood will be for sheeting and crating ma terials. Tests are also to be con ducted to determine how to glue and strengthen veneer from reject logs. Lumber officials who are watching operations at the plant this week include the following: H. O. Fleisher and A. C. Wollin, representatives of the Forest Products Laboratory, Madi son, Wit., who are directing tests to strengthen and glue veneer of ! this type. They also are investi- ¡ gating the possibility of using the i finished product for military pur poses; A. C. Knauss and Walter John son of the forest utilization ser vice of Portland; Jess Bedwell and Thomas Childs I of the Portland bureau of plant quarantine and pathology, who are making a study of the cause of fungus growth on conky logs.’ Others observing the experi ment are John Swertz, represent- , ■ ing the regional forester in Eu gene; Wes Jennings of the Rujada Ranger station at Disston; and Lew Gabel, representing the re gional forester at Roseburg. Preliminary experiments with conky logs in other fields have shown they also can be used for making paper pulp. Other labora tories are studying the possibility of using conky logs for lumber purposes. It was also disclosed by Bo hemia Lumber Co. officials that hemlock logs are being shipfied by the firm to Publishers Paper Co. mill at Oregon City to make news print. This company in turn sup plies the paper on which the Sen tinel is printed. Stewart Assumes Legislative Duties Loran Stewart, representative from this district, is attending the first week of the state legislature which convened at Salem Monday. Stewart, who recently has been making his home in Eugene, has purchased the W. D.

Mrs. Lovegren plans to move to Eugene as soon as her new home ia com pleted there. I.ION BERGERS RETURN Mr. and Mrs. W. H.
