November 25, 1913 Price 5 Cents T "Dr. Gillespie's New Assistant" Next Attraction Children Need Greens You Tell 'Em If someone will just find out how to make Oregon’s many healthful garden greens more pal atable to children, the rural young sters of this state will be better fed from the standpoint of bal anced nutrition. This conclusion can easily be drawn from the results of a scien tific study of the nutritional status of rural youth in Marion county made by Gertrude Hoppe, research assistant, and Dr. Margaret L. Fincke, professor of foods and nu trition at Oregon State college. A progress report of this study gives the results of tests made with 125 grade school and 53 high school children in rural Marion county, all presumably healthy. Ac tual blood tests were made to de termine the condition of the child ren with respect to iron and vita min C. Iron deficiency is apparently not a problem in the region, as prac tically all the tests fell within the normal range. The tests for vita min C, on the other hand, as shown in the blood plasma, showed a far from satisfactory condition, the nutritionists report. While 60 mg. is the lowest level of vitamin C in a given amount of blood plasma recognized as ade quate by a national committee in this field, all age groups 12 years and above tested in Marion county showed average levels ranging from .51 down to .35. Children less than 1 years showed a more satisfactory average of .76. A study of what these same children ate showed a direct rela- tionship existing between the number of servings of citrus fruits and tomatoes, and raw fruits and vegetables, and the vitamin C level. Those who made the study however, add that green leafy vegetables other than lettuce and cabbage were poorly represented in diets, while such excellent sourc es of vitamin C and other neces sary food elements as kale, chard, green broccoli, mustard and tur nip greens, and Brussels spn outs were omitted almost entirely. o ANNUAL SMOKER OE ELKS IS SET FOR DECEMBER 11 Tickets for the annual BPO Elks smoker to be held in the Elks club room and lodge on December 11 at 7 p. m will go on sale Thursday, it was announced today by T. P. ’’Cap’’ Gordon, chairman of ticket sales. The smoker, sponsored annually by the Elks, is to raise funds for the Kiddies' Christmas party to be held , for all the children in the county on the afternoon of Decem ber 24 in the auditorium of the high school. In past years attend ance at the party has averaged 2,000. Proceeds from the smoker will also go to charity projects of the lodge. Gordon said. Plans for this year's smoker, which members say will be bigger and better than usual, are under the direction of general chairman C. J O’Neill. ------- o— Buy Defense Bonds and Stamps PI....................... ............ »................. : f COMING EVENTS 3............................................... til Thursday, Nov. 25—Thanksgiving December 8—Health Clinic at the Auxiliary room.

Coming this Saturday and Sun day to the Cave City Theater is "Dr. Gillespies New Assistant,” and the tough exterior of the kind ly interior of Dr. Gillespie, makes it an extraordinary task for any young doctor to prove satisfactory to the great Gillespie.

Secretary of State Bob Farrell said today, in urging Oregon motorists to reduce mileage wherever pos sible and to put less strain on tires by driving more carefully. "Information gathered by lead ers in the field of highway trans portation indicates we are now en tering the critical period in motor vehicle use." Farrell said. “We are rapidly nearing the point where pre-war stocks of tires will be ex hausted while the wartime syn thetic rubber program is not yet capable of meeting normal de mands. "We now have a tire inventory of approximately three million, contrasted wit ha normal stock of 16 million. Until the synthetic rubber program is in full swing, the nation will have difficulty ic meeting our military len i-lease and civilian tire demands.” Explaining that more *ime i needed to perfect the synthetic processes, Farrell, who recently at tended meetings of motor vehicle administrators in the east, said these men were told that certain technical problems still remained to be solved. Synthetic tires heavy enough to st ind high speeds and the strain on curves, deteriorate too rapidly from heat. he saiii. Tires built light enough to dispel the heat created from friction, were not strong enough to stand the strain of speed and curves. Pending the solution of this and other technical problems, the na tion faces a lag in the production of tires, he declared. "Every motorist can help con serve the existing supply of tires so that our essential economy may be maintained. Drive under the ! 35 mile wartime speed limit. Slow down on curve* and avoid quick starts and stops that put extra strain on tires. Inspect tires reg- ularl.v ami keep them in good re pair.” Valley Shriners who attended the Shrine ceremonial Saturday night in Ashland were Harry Floyd. Howard Bears-. Dr. A. N. Collman, Ray Denton, L. E. M. C. Athey. Dr. Coilman Ray Denton were initiated at ceremonial. --------------- .

The good ladies made 1860 dressings during the busy after noon, and these will go to heal wounded soldiers on the battle- front. Still more ladies are need- ed every Tuesday afternoon at the Ranger station. These surgical dressings are most important and the volunteer ladies who are help ing them are doing one of the fin est civilian jobs in the nation. Ladies from O’Brien and Bridge view were on hand last Tuesday to do their share, as well as a guest worker from O’Brien. Mrs. Mabel Ramsey. If any lady has a few hours to spend Tuesday afternoon, their help will he appreciated. See Mrs. J. J. Villair for more details. Featured The November issue of the mag azine "The Timberman'', published in Portland, Ore., features sev eral pictures of forest fire para troops taken this summer by Cou rier photographers at the Illinois Valley base of the Siskiyou For est parachute jumpers. The article on "Smoke Jumpers” was written by George F. Corn wall, who described some of the jumps made to Siskiyou Forest fires this summer. Cornwall flew over the fires with the pilot and jumpers. Included in the article are first hand stories of jumps written by two of the smoke fighters at this base. Winton Stucky and Marvin Graeler. The smoke jumpers, so by the Forest Service, were the men who jumped from an airplane very near forest fires, and were one of the principal reasons we did not have a disastrous fire this year.
