2-Hcppncr Gazette Times, Heppner, Oregon, DecemEer 26, 1946 EDITORIAL We Should Carry On While much of the inspiration for supporting the ' March of Dimes" campaign passed cut in the death of the late PresiJent Roosevelt, the need for supporting the ork is just es great. Infantile paralysis has not been checked and funds are needed for combatting this insidious disease. While certain amount of the money subscrib ed locally goes into the national fund, it must be remembered that fifty per cent remains here to be used in aiding home folks ho may become afflicted. The national fund is used to improve medical knowledge through research in the field of infantile paralysis. All scientific advancements thus gained are, in turn, passed on for local aid in the fight against this unpredictable disease. The campaign will start shortly. Let us be pre pared to give it our support. Predictions Worth Reading It is the privilege of the Gazette Times to again give its readers the business forecast of the year by the eminent economist Roger Babson. Through out his many years of business forecasting, Mr. Babson has scored a high average and many lines of business have come to rely upon his judgment in making their plans for the future. The forecasts are made in a manner providing interest to business and non-business people alike, for after all, what affects business affects all of us. Our readers will find it well worth the time it takes to run through the forecast. Many calls were heard during the war years for blood donations to fill the blood banks and make available badly needed plasma in the spheres of military action. People responded he roically and many lives were saved. The same spirit prevails in civilian walks and calls come frequently and are given the same heroic response that prevailed in more pressing times. A case at hand is that of Mrs. Albert Freauff of Heppner who is at present in a hospital in The Dalles. She had been in the hospital and permitted to come home but by the time she and her husband reach ed Lexington she began to suffer loss of blood from hemorrhage and they returned to the hos pital where it was found transfusions would be necessary at once. Plasma was administered which restored some of the needed volume, but fresh blood was needed and a call was sent out by radio, telephone and the daily press. Result? One hundred people responded, out of which number but two were the right type. The two gave their blood and the patient is on the road to recovery. We know you had a happy Christmas now we want to wish you a happy and prosperous New Year!
