Three-Cent Stamp
Honors GAR Meet
', A three cent U.S. commemo
rative stamp, honoring the final
encampment of the Grand Ar-

know when the new stamp
would be available here he pre
sumed the latest issue would be

the background is the same man
as he looked when a youthful
soldier. In the upper left corner
is an hour glass with most of
the sand in the bottom portion.

Fred Snire Gives Advice
On His Fight With Polio
(Editor's Note Frederick B. Snite, Jr., 38, famed for his
fight against polio, has been in an iron lung for 13 years
and five months. His family says he Is in excellent condition.
Since he was stricken he has married his college sweetheart
and now has three daughters.
He prepared the following dispatch as a message of en
couragement to all victims of the present polio outbreak.)
By FREDERICK B. SNITE, Jr.
(Written for United Presa)
Brainered, Minn.. Aug. 29 (U.R) For those nersnns vmina anH
old, who are suffering from infantile paralysis, I have this advice:
"Trust in God and all will be well
I have followed this advice myself for more than 13 years, and
u nas never lanea me yet.
When I was stricken in China
in 1936, I was taken to the
Peking Union Medical college
which provided an iron lung.
It was the only iron lung in all
Asia at that time. It could only
have been divine providence that
cared for my needs in that re
gion so remote from my own
country.
Now I have progressed to the
point where I can leave my iron
lung for as long as four hours
by using a home-made portable
respirator. The portable lung
is especially helpful when 1 play
in bridge tournament such as the
one in which I am now partici
pating at a resort near Brainerd
To those persons who have not
contracted infantile paralysis,
but who are afraid they or their
loved ones will do so, I would
offer the same message: "Place
your faith in God. Know that
he is with you in whatever you
are doing."
There are many good, com
mon sense rules that can be fol
lowed to minimize the possibil
ity of contracting infantile pa
ralysis.
Everyone especially children
should keep as well-rested as
possible. They should avoid fa
tigue, because fatigue cuts down
the resistance of even the most
healthy person.
There is no need for hysteria
when the world polio is men
tioned. Doctors tell me it is a
fairly rare disease that it af
fects no more than one person in
six thousand. And of those who
do contract It, three out of four
recover completely.
These then, should be the
rules for all to follow, whether
or not they are sufferers from
infantile paralysis:
Be sensible.
Keep calm.
Trust completely In God.
I cannot emphasize too strong
ly the power of prayer. Those
of us who have called on God
for help to carry on, know that
he supplies it abundantly.
Village Will Spend
$1 Million Bequest
Perryopolis, Pa., Aug. 29 VP)
The citizens of Perryopolis fin
ally have decided how to spend
the $1,320,000 left the town a
year ago by Mrs. Mary Fuller
Frazier, a former resident.
At a meeting last night, 200
townspeople voted unanimously
to adopt a plan worked out by
the Per r y o p o 1 i s Community
Planning association.
The plan calls for the circula
tion of petitions to incorporate
the town of 1500 as a borough
and the eventual expenditure of
$660,000 for improvements.
Mrs. Frazier stipulated that
half the money be used for pub
lic improvements and the re
mainder for maintenance of the
public works agreed upon.
High mountains seem to come
in families in Oregon. In the
Cascade range near Bend are
such high peaks as Three Sis
ters, Wife, Husband, Little
Brother, Big Brother, Maiden,
Twins and Bachelor Butte. To
top it all off, House Rock
nearby. These peaks are fairly
closely grouped together in the
central Oregon vacationland.

ADVICE TO SURF BATHERS:
Watch Those Riptides!
Never Mind Undertow
By ALTON .L. BLAKESLEE
Associated Press Science Reporter
New York, Aug. 29 W) When you swim in surf, don't worry
about the undertow.
Undertow, blamed for countless drownings. Drobablv doesn't
even exist, says Dr. Francis P.'Shepard, professor of submarine
geology at the University of California's Scripps institution of
oceanography. -
The thing to watch for is rip
currents, that come in puffs or
pulses. They can carry you
out through the breakers, and
probably cause many drownings.
Dr. Shepard says you usually
can tell where they are, and of
fers advice on how to avoid
them or to escape from them.
Contrary to popular belief,
there may be no such thing as
undertow," he writes in Physics
Today magazine of the Ameri
can institute of physics.
Undertow is supposed to be a
strong current under the sur
face tnat sweeps bathers off
their feet and drags them out to
sea. It's supposed to come from
water thrown shoreward by the
breakers.
At the edge of a beach, you
do feel returning water under
mining the sand at your feet.
The idea has been that this water
continues as a strong subsur
face current out through the
breakers.
But no measurements have
ever shown any dangerous sub
surface currents of this kind,
Dr. Shepard reports.
Rip currents, also called rip
tides or sea pulses, are a dif
ferent and dangerous matter.
They are currents that move
in narrow bands out through
the breakers, spreading out fan
wise beyond. They extend from
the surface all the way to the
sea bottom, both inside the
breakers and for some distance
out. A drowning person, sub
merged, can be carried out by
these deep currents.
The rips are caused by the
unevenness of the ocean floor,
Dr. Shepard explains. Ridges
or canyons slow or speed up dif
ferent parts of the breaker as
it comes in, thus piling up water
at one point and thinning it at
another. This surplus water
flows along the shore until it
meets water coming from an-,
other point. The two currents
merge and turn out to sea as a
single current,
Rip currents are easy to spot
from the air, and with practice
can be detected from the beach,
too, Dr. Shepard says.
They can be detected by tur
bulent brownish or greenish
masses of water moving out
from the breaker zone. They
have somewhat the shape of a
cauliflower cloud, and the edge
of each rip is likely to be out
lined by foam carried out from
the surf.
The flow of each rip comes in
pulses, with one mass following
another "somewhat like puffs
from a smoke engine."
From the beach, the rips can
be spotted by the turbulence of
the water due to greater depth,
flow, or a change in color of
the water due to greater depht.
The incoming wave often does
not break in the rip current
lane. If it does break, the water
is likely to have the typical
brownish color.
Dr. Shepard advises poor

Jones Clan in
Annual Reunion
A group of Oregonians with
a common interest in the name
of Jones as it pertains to the
central Willamette valley got
together Sunday at Champoeg
pioneer park to observe the 96th
anniversary of the coming of
swimmers to stay in shallow
waters when breakers are high,
and to avoid bottom irregu
lafities. If you are carried out, don't
try to fight back in the same
direction. Swim at right angles
to the current, and you'll gel
out of the rip channel, some
times with just a few strokes.
Then you may be able to touch
bottom and rest, or at least be
able to swim back in without
having to fight the current.
