Six more . workers were i re leased from the - sewing project Monday, the women said, and added .that they understood 100 more are to be dropped soon. Some, of them exhibited samples of -their work as evidence thai they were not inefficient. . The primary reason announced for-all of the dismissals, was the curtailing of funds for WPA Id connection with the economy program. .The women . said they did not object to this so much as to the implication, that they wero Inefficient, , aliens or had con cealed .resources.. Tourists in State In Record Number Tourist travel In Oregon is definitely on the . upgrade, ac cording to figures . compiled by Secretary of State Snell here yes terday.

Ask Immunization By Health Office Take advantage of diphtheria and smallpox immunization, is the plea voiced at the Marion county health department. This medical . service is especially rec ommended for children of pre school age, from six months to five years of age. . Diphtheria . immunization has dropped off lately, . showing that people are not availing themselves of this opportunity. The greater majority of diphtheria deaths oc cur when the disease is contracted by children of pre-school age. Al though the Immunization does not take. etfectfpr three months, a skin test can then be given to de termine, at that time, whether the child is immune. Special care for the prevention of smallpox Is also recommended by the department. " The county office sets aside Wednesday aft ernoon and "Saturday morning of each week for immunisations if the family does not wish to go to Its own doctor.
