because of a number of minor de-

are a number of changes needed in

March ot Dimes Is
Current Campaign
In these days of strenuous war
financing we are apt to forget one
of civilization's greatest enemies
infantile paralysis. The war is be
ng waged against this dread disease
and while there have bsen pro
nounced forward trides the battle
is far from won.
This year, as in the past decade,
the drive is going forward for funds
to carry on the fight. The usual
President's Birthday ball has been
omitted and a direct drive for con
tributions is being pushed. Post
master Charles B. Cox is Morrow
county chairman and he urges ev
ery one to be generous. Contribu
tions may be made at the postof
fice, or, in case of the "March of
Dimes," they may be mailed di
rect to President Roosevelt.
Cox pointed out that part of the
fund raised in Morrow county will
be kept here to assist victims of
infantile paralysis who are unable to
finance special hospital treatment.

n Bond Buying
$50,175 Invested by
Citizens Here in
Month of November
Morrow county came through
handsomelv with purchases of war
bonds during the month of Novem-
bar, marking up a total of $50,175
invested in national security. It was
a generous contribution to the
state's total of $10,787,000, again
placing Oregon at the head of the
list in the nation.
Those in charge of bond sales
realized that a record was being
made and were not surprised at
the outcome, although feeling a
keen sense of gratification over the
manner in which surplus funds
were being placed at the disposal
of the government.
Figures have not been made
available for December sales. In
that connection, P. W. Mahoney,
chairman of the bond and stamp
sales campaign in the county, stated
that he believed purchases would
run nearly as high in that month,
as in November. This is attributable
to the fact that many people made
gift purchases of both bonds and
stamps in lieu of the usual run of
gifts, thereby strengthening the
campaign. That there may be a de
cline in purchases during the late
winter and early spring would be
a natural trend owing to income
tax payments, Mahoney stated.
Oregon's national record is the
largest purchase of war bonds in
proportion to income of any state
in the union $9.93 out of every
ernment to provide equipment for
