GOLL) BEACH—The 1951 March of Dimes cam
paign is on in Curry County, the State of Oregon and
throughout the nation, from January 16 to 31, said John
Porisch, district forest ranger, who again heads Curry
county campaign. He expressed the hope that the 1951
campaign would be equally as successful as others.
“Curry county was again fortunate in not having a
case of infantile paralysis in 1950. However, the state
of Oregon had a record high in numbers for 1950.
“The 1951 campaign will be handled in the same
manner as in past years. AlTschools will be supplied with
contribution cards. March of Dimes contribution cards
will be mailed to box-holders from all post offices in the

The locals smothered the De-
Molay team at Crescent City,
Thursday, 68 to 24, as Jim Bar
rett poured in 20 points to lead
the scorers.
Friday the Ramrods journeyed
over Oregon mountain for a re
turn game with the Cave Junc
tion “Townies” and won again,
43 to 40 in a double over-time.
Preem, a new center for Cave
Junction, was high scorer with
21 points, 16 of which he potted
in the first half.
Scoring for the locals was
pretty evenly divided with Whitey
Matson getting 8 points and Tony
Felipe and Harold Putnam with
seven each.
Lloyd Moss Home
From Illinois Trip
Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Moss, who
left here before Christmas for
Galesburg, Ill., to answer a call
of the illness of Mrs. Moss’ broth
er, returned late last week, glad
to be away from the storms of
the midwest.
The brother is reported doing
well in his health recovevry, but
still is in delicate health.
“It is good to be home, and I
don’t think I’ll cry about the
rain,” commented Mr. Moss to
friends, on his return.
Local Lad Received
Christmas Package
A letter from LaVern Menden
hall says that he is in “good”
health and as happy as can be
expected so far away, in Korea.
He is ordinance-man first-class
in the naval air corps, on a long-
range bomber with the Seventh
fleet (commonly known as a sea
plane and the main base is in
the Philippines).
The squadron covers a wide
area in the Orient. His squadron
is hoping that the world situa
tion gets no worse at least for a
time tha they will be able to
return to the states as the so-
called tour of foreign duty is
about over for the present.
The group was awarded an
air medal.
LaVern received all his Christ
mas packages in due time and
he said it was indeed a treat
to receive cake, nuts, cookies,
candy and smoked salmon. It
did have a Christmas atmosphere
despite the time they had to fly
that day.
Their Thanksgiving
dinner was all that could be
asked, he said in his letters.

First Aid Classes
Attracts Crowds
Red Cross first aid classes be
ing sponsored by the local Sev
enth-Day Adventist church, have
become too large for them to be
accommodated in the Adventist
church school.
J. B. Meehan, instructor who
has had extensive experience in
presentingthose classes all over
southern Oregon, announces that
with exception of Thursday night,
Jan. 18. the first aid classes will
be held at the Grange hall, in
Harbor.
Thursday classes will
still meet at the Adventist church
school on Easy Street.
I he outstanding community in
terest in these classes at present
is attributed to the current em-
■ mergency which has focused at
tention on nation-wide civilian
defense.
Classes meet promptly at 7:00
o clock and last three hours each
evening. This concentrated sched
ule is necessary so that classes
may be completed early in Feb
ruary when Mr. Meehan, who
has been in charge of construct
ing the new Adventist church,
plans to return to his home near
Grants Pass.
N< vt Thursday night will be
the last opportunity for those in
terested who have not enrolled
to do so if they expect to receive
Red Cross certification upon the
completion of the course. These
classes are open to all who would
like to attend occasionally but
do not plan on completing the
course.
