Makes Polio Fund
Campaign Urgent
A request for advances of $12,
950 to enable four Oregon coun
ties to carry on polio programs
in the face of epidemic conditions
was telegraphed to the National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly
sis in New York city today.
The action, taken by the Foun
dation's Oregon representative,
Felix Montes, was announced by
Dr. E. T. Hedlund, Portland post
master and chairman of the 1949
Oregon March of Dimes.
Dr. Hedlund said that advances
are being sought for Polk, Des
chutes, Benton and Malheur
countes. Twenty-five hundred
dollars was asked for Polk coun
ty, $1750 for Deschutes, $3400 for
Benton and $5350 for Malheur.
Four other counties, Lincoln,
Wasco, Yamhill and Umatilla,
also have experienced polio of
epidemic Incidence this year, and
Dr. Hedlund said that although
their funds are virtually exhaust
ed, the four "appear able to
squeeze through without direct
assistance from National."
First advances are being re
quested for Polk, Deschutes and
Benton counties, but Malheur has
received $10,700 from the Nation
al Foundation this year, accord
ing to the state March of Dimes
chairman. In all, Malheur has
spent nearly $23,000 in the past
18 months as a result of its 1947
epidemic and a few scattered
cases this year.
In addition, many Oregon
counties plus hundreds through
out the nation have weakened
their chapters' financial position
by making substantial advances
to the National Foundation, Dr.
Hedlund said. Epidemics in North

Gilliam Rancher
Is Conservation
Farmer of Year
Condon, December 4 Arthur C.
Jaeger, Gilliam county cattle and
wheat rancher was named Satur
day morning as "Conservation
Farmer of the Year 1048" at the
twenty-first annual meeting of
the Eastern Oregon Wheat league.
He was selected Irom a group
of seven county soil conservation
contest winners by a committee
headed by Floyd Root, Wasco.
Jaeger received custody of a ro
tating plaque signifying the aw
ard. His personal award was a
wrist watch enscribed "Conserv
ation Farmer of the Year 948."
This is the first year the con
servation award has been made.
However, it will become a per
manent feature of the wheat lea
gue's conservation program; ac
cording to new league president,
Paulen Kasebeig, Wasco.
County conservation award
winners who competed for the
wheat league award on the basis
of work they had accomplished
in soil conservation were: Cecil
Byers, The Dalles, representing
Wasco county; W. E. Bruckert,
Wasco, Sherman county; Riet
mann Brothers, Lexington, Mor
row county; J. H. Rea, Milton,
Umatilla county; E. R. McCanse,
North Powder, Union county; R.
C. Hammond, Enterprise, Wal
lowa county; and Jaeger who was
Gilliam county representative.
County conservation contest
winners received silver belt buc
kles. Engraved on each was the
county of the winner, the year
1948 and the words: "Soil Con
servation Farmer."
After the awards were made,
Root stated that all of the county
conservation winners had records
indicating they had recognized
the need for better farming prac
tices "years and years" before
soil conservation work became
well known to the general public.
He pointed out that Jaeger has
been using a trashy fallow sys
tem on his place since the early
1930's.
Jaeger owns a 2600 acre ranch.
Among his accomplishments in
the record released by Root was
the fact that he has retired from
wheat production a total of 250
acres of land and replanted them
to grass. He contour strip crops
180 acres of his wheat lands.
Purpose of the contest is to give
recognition to farmers who have
been doing outstanding jobs of
conservation farming in the area
which suffers badly from erosion.
rhe ultimate objective is to make
everyone in the area conservation
minded Root explained.
In the days of the CCC camps,
check dams and terraces were in
stalled on the Jaeger ranch. He
has maintained them since.
In 1944, the Jaeger ranch was
named a demonstration site. Root
pointed out that this took place
two years before a soil conserva
tion district was formed in Gil
liam county.
Jaeger has carried on exten
sive grass seeding, range im
provement program and stock
water development with assist
ance from the Soil Conservation
service.
In addition to Root, chairman,
other members of the selection
committee were as follows: Roy
Forman, Antelope; Frank Ander
son, Heppner; Lester King, Pen
dleton; Ray Kent, district con
servationist, SCS, Pendleton; and
E. R. Jackman, extension farm
crops specialist.

Fire Danger
Now at Peak,
Engineers Say
The danger of home fires will
be greater during the next three
months than during any other
part of the year, the National
Board of Fire Underwriters points
out.
Year after year, fire losses
climb as the temperature falls,
the National Board engineers re
veal. For that reason, they urge
householders to inspect their
homes to reduce Winter fire haz
ards. Defective chimneys and flues
cause many of the fires which
break out in homes during the
cold months. Chimneys should be
inspected carefully, and all
cracks and holes should be re
paired. Flues should be cleaned.
Overheated stoves bna lui
naces also endanger the home,
the fire experts point out. When
heaters fail to give sufficient
warmth, they should not be forc
ed. In many cases, the quipmen.
may need cleaning or repair, and
occasionally a new heater may be
required, but "forcing" any heat
ing device is always dangerous.
Portable heaters should be
cleaned regularly while in use,
and kept away from combusti
bles. In one stale, neglected port
able heaters are listed as- the
number one cause of serious fires
in residences during the past 25
years.
The National Board engineers
also suggest that observation of
these seven rules would reduce
the probability of your home
vuiciung tire:
1. Don't use kerosene to start
fires in stoves or furnaces. Use
rolled or folded newspapers.
2. Refill portable oil heaters
outdoors. Keep portable heaters
wnere they won t get kicked over.
3. Don't overload electric rir.
cults by plugging in too many
heaters or appliances.
4. Remove all rubbish, old clo
thes or DaDers from the basement
and attic, and check to be sure
that no combustibles are placed
close to any heating device.
D. Always put ashes in a metal
container.
6. Place a tight-fitting metal
screen in front of the fireplace.
7. Learn the Quickest wav tn
summon the fire department, in
case of fire.
And if a fire does break out,
turn in an alarm immediately
and get everybody out of the
house at once.

At Pensacola, Florida, future Navy carrier pilots are taught
tricks of navigation on a large-scale model of an aviator's plotting

tween 18 and 25, with at least two years of college. Upon gradua

Fire losses in the United States
wil probably reach the staggering
total of $750,000,000 this year, ac
cording to the National Board of
Fire Underwriters. That sum
would provide a $440,000 endow
ment fund for every college and
professional school intthe country.
Parents Reminded j
To Demand Safety
In Children's Toys
New Christmas toys can be
dangerous to young children with
Prying fingers, the National
Board of Fire Underwriters warns
Christmas shoppers. Be sure they
are safe.
The fire authorities advise tak.
ing special care in choosing elec
tric toys. Toys of inferior con
struction can cause severe burns
or start serious fires in Christmas
trees and flammable decorations.
Parents should inspect electric
toys their children receive at
Christmas and supervise their
play with any electric set. The1
children may get a severe shock
from touching a radiator or other
"ground" while handling electric
toys.
Here are general rules for safe
toys:
1. Look for the Underwriters'
Laboratories Inc. markers on el
ectric toys.
2. Don t buy toys using alcohol.
kerosene, or gasoline. They are
hazardous in juvenile hands.
3. Don t place electric trains
around base of Christmas tree.
4. Parents should plug and un
plug electric toys themselves, ra
ther than let small children do it
Play with electric toys should be
supervised.
