This newest carrK paign is scheduled to start March 1. And perhaps you have surmised ere this that we have been asked to increase our subscription, speaking of the county as a whole. Whereas the quota last year was $2200 and this county subscribed $2700, we are asked to contribute $3600 this time. That is in proportion to the national quota, which has been , raised from $125,000,000 last year to $200,000, 000 this year. Perhaps someone will ask why such a raise. The answer is that the activities of the Red Cross have been increased to that extent. The society is operating on fifty-two fronts in far-flung corners of the globe. Maintenance of canteens in or near battle areas where your boy,or girl may taste a bit of home life such as the Red Cross is able to provide; wrapping and mailing food packages to our boys who are prisoners of war about 1,125, 000 in the 1941-42 period and better than 3,000, 000 packages in the 1943-44 period; maintaining other types of services to help the people in ser vice who need help these and other things not readily called to mind are some of the reasons why the Red Cross needs more money this year. It must be apparent to most of us that our one big job is to finance this war. We may wish to do other things with our money, but until victory is won and our fighting forces are home again there is but one thing to do and that is to see that they have the things needed to bring about victory, in cluding as many comforts as money will provide. Right now it is the Red Cross's turn. Let's put it over without a lot of ballyhoo. O Not City's Obligation City government, to a large measure, is respon sible for garbage and trash disposal, but after making arrangements for such disposal in the form of providing a dump ground, the responsibil ity ceases. From there on it is the citizen's respon sibilitymeaning, of course, that the individual, if he wishes to make use of the dump ground, ' must either haul his garbage and trash or employ someone to do it for him. It has been reported to this newspaper that some of the citizens blithely hire their trash haul ed to the dump ground and when the drayman IIIHIIHllli !n"""""",ll"""ll"""ll,"","l,,,"""""""M"" ''ll'''llllllH11IIIIIPIH(ltlllMIll(lltlllllllflMIIIII1IIHHIMIIItlHHIIIPIHIimMm i """''wHnimtNiitmimhJiMinHimiiiuNJiiitummiuMHUimm goes to collect for his services is just as blithely told that the city is paying for the hauling. Per haps the idea springs from the fact that occas ionally the city hauls or pays for the hauling of trash during a general clean-up. This usually is done under the proviso that the property owner collects his trash in suitable containers and places the containers at a convenient spot to be picked up by conveyances employed for the occasion. When that job of hauling is done the city's obli gation to the individual ceases. As a resut of the trickery worked on the truck ers it is difficult for others who desire to pay for the hauling service to get that service. The truck ers should report such cases to the city authori ties so they can call the perpetrators on the car pet, as it were. men (and some men too, for that matter) in the Red Cross home nursing classes. The situation as to doctors and registered nurses will grow progressively worse to wards the end of the war and the home folks will be thrown more and more upon their own resour ces. Disaster may be averted by taking a course of training which will require but a short time. AUXILIARIESSAW FILMS Several reels of news and war pictures were screened Friday af ternoon at the home of Mrs. Anna Bayliss for the benefit of the Wool growers auxiliary. Members of the Women's auxiliary of All Saints Episcopal church in regular meet ing at the Bayliss home also en joyed the pictures which were pre sented by Mr. Skelly of the publi city department of the Pacific Pow er & Light company.

Phone 723 Ileppner, Ore. r Care of HezUh Highly Essential Home nursing courses should have a strong ap peal to our people in these days of war. It 'is un necessary to cite the fact that doctors are scarce due to the needs of the armed forces and if the few physicians remaining at home are to carry on for the duration it will be necessary to give them all possible cooperation. At a recent home nursing conference in Pen dleton, the demonstrating nurse stressed the need of such training, citing a current epidemic of flu as a good reason for being prepared in the home to meet such emergencies. It is at such times doctors have more calls than they can answer and many times unnecessary calls are made, although when one is suffering from influenza in one form or another it is a boost to thb morale to see the doctor entering the room. It is the opinion of med ical authorities that many deaths resulting from pneumonia following influenza might have been saved had someone in the home taken a course in home nursing. Infantile paralysis cases make a better and more rapid recovery in homes where mothers have taken the home nursing course. Records kept on influenza epidemics reveal that they usually run over a period of years. In the first world war cases were reported in Euro pean countries in 1915. The following year the malady had spread, expanding still more in 1917 and then in 1918 the real epidemic struck. There has never been a war that has not been followed by some epidemic. With this information to go by, there should be little difficulty in enrolling large classes of wo- :,T ?,i:lton Mrs. Percy Hughes wont to Mil ton Saturday where she is spend ir? fvo weeks at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Lutcher while? they are on a business trip to Chi cago.
