U. S. Marine Corps
To Be Expanded
The U. 8. Marine Corps will prob
ably be authorized very shortly to
recruit a larger number of men than
it was allowed to enlist all during
1940, it was revealed by Major James
B. Hardie, recruiting officer in charge
of this district.
The names of a considerable num
ber of applicants who have already
been accepted have been placed on
a waiting list, pending such time as
they can actually be enlisted.
Th'e quota for February will most
likely exceed that for this month, the
Major believes. Probably by March
the Marine Corps will be allowed to
expand to such a degree that new
recruiting stations will have to be
established in this district to take
care of enlistments. Recommenda
tions for the opening up of new sta
tions at Klamath Falls, Oregon and
Lewiston, Idaho have already been
made. At present the Portland dis
trict maintains recruiting stations at
Salem and La Grande, Oregon, at
Walla Walla, Washington and Boise,
Idaho, in addition to headquarters at
Portland.

country for the past year, the public

board of health, shows a continuation
of the low rates through the month
of November. In that month there
were only 50 deaths of infants under

live births.
This gives Oregon an infant
mortality rate for the month of 364.

when the state was the fourth lowest
in the country. However, the rate
for the first 11 months ot 1940 was
still lower—34.0 per 1000 live births.
Maternal deaths during the month
were also very low, the research de
partment says. There were only three
deaths of Oregon mothers from
in the month,
childbirth reported
giving the state a November rate of
2.2, lower than the rate of 2.3 for
Oregon in 1939. the lowest in the
