'iSS 0 0mA - Wanna Help? There's something about gayly wrapped Christmas presents under a tree that attracts little girls (and others, too) about this time of year. The ap proach to the problem is usually the same. First they stare at the gifts. Next they edge closer and finger the wrapping, hop ing for a tiny clue. This, of course, doesn't help, so then comes the shaking and weighing of the par cel. And if that doesn't work, attempts are made to peek through the cor ners of the wrapping. (For other desperate gift shakers there are still such measures as trying to steam open the pack age or buying similar . wrapping paper to re wrap the package once it has been opened.) Eight-year-old Re Ann Young, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leo F. Y o u n g, 2265 Bailey Hill Rd Eugene, enlisted the aid of her small kitten to figure out what's in the little package. Jv SANTA'S HEIFER SAYS SHOPPING DAYS TO CHRISTMAS MOST STORES OPEN TONIGHT UNTIL 9 P.M. Junior High " Carolers To Join Tour Usually, caroling groups have more enthusiasm than harmony. But one group of 18 youths from Boosevelt and Wilson Junior High Schools in Eu gene should overcome the harmony problem they've been practicing since October. The majority of the group belong to the Roosevelt Jun ior High choir. This weekend, they'll join numerous groups from churches, fraternal and social organizations and informal neighborhood choirs in tour ing the Emerald Empire to sing traditional songs of the Christmas season. Leader of the junior high group is John Knudsen of Roosevelt.

Matching Funds U.S. Ag In Arsenic The United States Geodetic Survey Will join Lane County in its program of tracking down the sources of arsenic found in wells in an area extending from Eugene to Cottage, Grove. . To take advantage of the Geodetic Sur vey's offer of helping the county's investiga tion, county commissioners Thursday said . ' they will approve a $1,000 grant to the health department from emergency funds. f This will be used to match funds the Geodetic Survey will spend. In addition, the federal agency indicated it also will match the $2,000 already spent by Lane County in -its survey work. Most of this money spent by the county was secured in October through a $1,500 emergency fund payment approved by the commissioners. .., The expanded study by the Geodetic Sur- . vcy and the county will take the county's investigation several steps further. Chief Sanitarian John Stoner said that so far the county has been chiefly concerned with lo cating areas where high amounts of arsenio are found. -. Pledged ehcy tq Join Search So far, Stoner- said.-his. department hat discovered about :20 contaminated wells, pri marily in an area" extending on both sides of Highway 99 from" Bailey HiUJsouthwcst of Eugene to Creswell. . j . - Two of these wells, Stoner said, are very contaminated. One has ten times the allow able maximum of arsenic content, and the other has 20 times the allowable maximum. These wells are not now used. With the Geodetic Survey's help, Stoner said the studies of arsenic will investigate ' what form the arsenio is in how it is com- : bined with other minerals. .He hopes to find clues to how readily this arsenic .bearing material dissolves in water, and how poisonous it is. Further, the study should show what level of subsurface water the arsenic occurs and this could indi cate. hw dceP wells should be, or how far they should be lined, , 1 , . As previously- expected, Stoner said the studies so far have shown that the arsenic bearing wells are, in a geologic formation ' called the Fisher? Formation, , This extends, from the Eugene area south' into. Douglas" County. , V. Eugene LANE COUNTVC HOME StWSPAPEA SECTION B EUGENE, OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1962 Case Load Too High Chdd Welfare Service Cut The Lane County Public Wel fare Commission lias - been forced to close its door to new child welfare cases until Jan. 20 because the caseload exceeds mandatory 1 limits : set by the state. . This is the first time that Lane County has boon re quired to curtail its sor vices under the policy adopted, Jan. 1962, by the State Public Welfare Commission. Because of financial prob lems plaguing the commission at that time, it was decided that child welfare services would be curtailed in any office where there .were more than 76 cases for each worker to handle. Lane County exceeded this maximum in November, when there were 28 more .cases than tho total of 646 that can be handled in the office according to the state formula.
