Much Is being said, about the congressional investigation of the Townsend plan promotion and the poor showing of itho Townsend vote in the recent Oregon primary election. . i . j. ' ; - . , The voting in all Oregon pri mary ' elections- has always been small in comparison to the regis tration. People seem indifferent toward the primaries, preferring to. wait until the general election to east their vote. It's a known fact within the Townsend organ ization, that half the Tpwnsend- ltes and Towasend-mlnded voters did hot rote at all in the recent Oregon primary election. They were at a loss to understand Just the wisest way to vote, as no candidates were indorsed by the bead of the Townsend organiza tion, Tnereiore the results of the primary election were no surprise to the Townsend people. The main objective of Townsendlsm is to elect ! as many Townsend candi dates: as possibly to congress. There is where the, Townsend plan will be enacted into national law. It will not he definite! known to the Townsend people the exact procedure to concentrate npon, until after the Townsend conven tion next July IS to 20. Out of the congressional Investigation : at Washington when completed, will come no arrests, no fines or lm ptisonment for anybody. Only one thing will come out of it. and that will be a great big political issue for the 1936 national election campaign, in the national election campaign the;! anti-Townsend democrats and ami-Townsend re publicans will ' forcefully blast Townsendlsm, and the Townsend candidates ; will forcefully r blast the anti-Townsend democrats and republicans in retaliation. i Oh, boy, what a campaign it's going to be. i f j 'Respectfully.' ..: i R.1D.TURPIN.

Tet, I am sorry to say, in many instances trouble its due to mere carelessness or the failure to learn what Is best Too :.many mothers still believe that the diseases of childhood are natural" events in the life of the children. They fail to realize ' the danger of these so-called trivial diseases. In consequence, they fan to do all they could to protect their little ones against exposure and per haps fall to quarantine a sick child to avoid spreading the disease to others. ; j Perhaps the longest stride In the direction of good health which has been token within the past eight years, has been the recognition that periodie visits to th doctor are of greatest importance. It must be borne (n mind that adult and child alike are subject to certain consti tutional disorders.
