Aid To Recovery
Fire im-urance is a mainstay of the economy,
says an exchange. In thousands upon thousands
of cases, it has meant the difference between
solvency and ruin.
With a fire that lowered two plants more than
a week ago still smouldering and occasionally
flaring into live blaze when fanned by a stiff
wind, a typical story in Forbes Magazine of how
fire insurance serves the nation is of interest
locally. Two years ago a New Jersey furniture
company had a $1,000,000 fire which almost total
ly destroyed the plant For a time there was
doubt if the 100-year old company could survive
the blow. However, some time before the firm
had been sold a Use and Occupancy insurance
policy. This coverage guaranteed that a high
percentage of the profits normally earned by the
company would keep coming in, and, in addition,
it paid the salaries of key personnel.
With this income to count on, the company
moved to temporary quarters and started to re
build. It sent its salesmen out, and used news
paper and radio ads lu let people know it was still
in business and was going to stay there. This
year, a concern which appeared to be doomed in
1947, will gross around $3,000,000, and give em
ployment to a small army of people.
It was reassuring to learn that the plants des
troyed in the July 18 fire were well covered with
Insurance and that the farmers whose grain was
in the elevators are fully covered. The amounts
on the buildings is not sufficient to pay lor re
building but it is enough to encourage the plan
ning of new plants.
Could Use Same Treatment
Some much needed improvement is being
made to Highway 97 from Dinty's on the Columbia
for three miles south. That is the narrow, wind
ing part of the road which has long been a bottle
neck, particularly to the big freight trucks and to
car drivers who are always in a whale of a hurry
to get somewhere. The more dangerous curves
have been widened to a degree that approaching
traffic from either direction has a greater range cf
visibility as well as abundant passing room.
A great piece of work is being done in Cow
Canyon where the "dead man's curve", known 'o
Madras people as "Conroy's Corner", is being
eliminated and an entirely new grade is being
constructed from that point down the opposite
side of the canyon. This improvement will elim
inate a bad hazard and make the traveling public
practically conscious-free of danger in negotiat
ing the four-mile grade that lies between the
Trout Creek valley and Criterian ridge.
These improvements to Highway 97 have long
been needed and are a part of the highway com
mission's program of reconstructing and modern
izing the earlier trunk lines. In due time most of
must keep advancng in the cold
war and Russia will retreat, he
said. He pointed to the fear that
in the Kremlin that the commun
ists party would be "destroyed
from within by the military if
war came, as Hitler almost was
twice."
MICROFILM MAKES MONEY
For the past four years the
state income tax division has
been handicapped by the lack of
the older highways that need rebuilding will b
given the proper treatment. Straightening a-id space. It has cost the state many
broadening appear to be the rules followed and as Ill0UM 01 douars n ios ?eve-
inues. Two state legislatures
time passes the commission may find occasion to i nave considered other state build-
such 'ing more important.
I Ray Smith, new commissioner,
in charge of the state income tax
division, believes he can do
Boaraman win necessitate a auiereni approacn 10
do a bit of improving on lesser trunk lines,
as the Willow creek highway.
A change in the grade from Arlington
to
the Willow Creek highway. Definite plans for
crossing at Heppner Junction have not been adopt
ed, we are told, but in planning for a permanent
change the commission is keeping in mind the
proposed dams in the Columbia and will move
back from the present right of way, it is said.
Highways eventually wear out and have to be
rebuilt The Willow creek highway was con
structed in 1921. Funds were limited in those
earlier days and the point was to build the most
road for the money. Grades were avoided while
curves apparently were welcomed. If it were a
matter of building the highway today it is doubt
ful if grade would deter the engineers if mileage
could be saved by going over a hill instead of
around it Also, many of the annoying little
curves would be omitted by shearing off a hillside
or rocky bluff here and there, making the road
faster and safer.
There is no prospect for immediate improve
ment on the Willow creek highway, but sure'y
some day, before too many years have lapsed,
there will not only be the need, which is now
present, but a demand for realignment and wid
ening of the road.
Start Exhibits Now
Thirty-nine days remain until the opening of
the Morrow County Fair and Rodeo. That is a
comparatively short time to gather and prepare
exhibits and to get ready for the big parade.
Premium books will be the mails in a few days,
giving exhibitors ample time to study the lists
and decide upon their entries.
The fair board and rodeo directors are working
hard to make the 1949 show the best ever. They
can make the plans, provide the facilities and
post the award money but it is up to the people to
complete the job of making the fair the exhibit
ors, performers and, finally, the cash customers.
Plans for an exhibit pavilion of sufficient sb
to accommodate all of the products have been
held in abeyance due to lack of building room.
The board is anxious to get possession of the
space now occupied by buildings under lease to
the Heppner Lumber company and until this can
be accomplished, it will be necessary to make use
of the old CCC buildings, and this in turn has a
tendency to curtail growth of the fair.
Despite handicaps, the fair is growing and is
worthy of the support of all citizens. The fair
and rodeo, as a unit, is the one outstanding
entertainment of the year and is bound to grow
in importance as the years pass by.
HEALTH FOR ALL
(This space has been paid for by
your Morrow County Health

garding health may be

Rehabilitation oi the Tuberculoug
At one time, people usually
connected the word "rehabilita
tion'' with the training of a crip-
plod war veteran for a useful oc-
something in the way of creating
more working space in this divis
ion. Plans are about ready for
microfilming tax records which
will reduce the storage space now
in use by 50 per cent. It also will
give the state duplicate records,
one set for the commission and
another stored in a building in
some other city of the state. If a
fire should destroy the present
state income tax offices in the old
state office bulding the loss
would be unestimatable.

RENDER NEW SERVICE
An entirely new and different
kind of service is being performed
for the public by the Oregon de
partment of responsibility. This
department of the secretary of
state's office handles the admin
istration of one of the state of
Oregon's laws which affects very
intimately the lives and at times
the livelihood of most of the
commonwealth's citizens. It pro
vides that any motor vehicle dri
ver or owner who becomes involv
ed in an accident on the highway
must forthwith provide proof of
financial responsibility.
This, simply stated, means that
he must furnish proof to the de
partment that he has some form
of liability insurance to protect
other motorists with whom he
comes in contact.
Until Secretary of State Earl T.
Newbry decided recently that the
public interest demanded revam
ping the department, and pro
ceeded to do just that, all acci
dents went through normal chan
nels. If proof of financial respon
sibility was not furnished within
a 45-day period, license plates

ponded Suspension orders were
handed to state police, who pro
ceeded to take them up until
such financial proof was furn
ished.
In most cases the suspensions
were the result of misunderstand
ing of the law, and not unwilling
ness on the part of citizens to
comply with it. Under the new
law commonsense plan of ad

STATE DEPARTMENT HUDDLES
Since the days of President Ben
Harrison-politicians have trump
eted "put business methods in
government", but their notes
have been for export and louder
than their orders. This week
Governor McKay did something
in this line that should be con
structive. He announced that he
intends to hold periodical coordi
nation meetings of state depart
ment heads similar to the meet
ings of heads of departments in

cupation. Nowadays, people re
alize that rehabilitation is an in
tegral part of the treatment and
cure of many illnesses, whether
caused by accidents or diseases.
For example, rehabilitation Is
an extremely important part of
the "total" restoration to useful
living of patients with such seri
ous chronic diseases as tuberculosis.
Rehabilitation of the tubercu
lous was once thought of as sep
arate from the treatment of the
patient's physical illness and the
process was not begun until the
physical disease was arrested.
Today doctors believe that the
rehabilitation process should
start at the time the diagnosis is
made.
It is a shock for any person to
learn he has tuberculosis and he
needs help in accepting the diag
nosis and learning to "live with
his illness." It has been proved
that such prompt attention to the
patient's first reactions and emo
tional difficulties makes the en
tire curing process easier for both
doctor and patient. The doctor is
frequently assisted in these early
steps of rehabilitation by the
public nurse in the community
and possibly by the services of a
medical social worker.
At the sanatorium, where reha
bilitation services continue, the
Datient is helped to understand
that full cooperation with his doc
tor and the sanatorium ptiysici
ans is vital to his cure. It is
easier for him to cooperate when
it is made clear that, although his
illness may take time and pa
tience, he can again become a
self-supporting Individual in em
ployment to which he Is person
oily inclined as well as physical
ly suited.
All rehabilitation services at
the sanatorium are aimed at
helping the patient understand
his illness and its treatment, ana
at preparing him to take up his
activities in community life after
his discharge.
While many' tuberculous pa
tients return to their former oc
cupations, there are some Jobs
which might prove too great a
physical strain for a patient af
ter his illness is arrested. When
necessary, the patient is able to
begin training in the sanatorium
for a type of work which is in
keeping with his physical
strength as well as jus prefer
ences. In many sanatoriums, the
tuberculous patient receives ex
pert guidance to help him discov
er new interests and skills, the
pursuit of which will make life
for him more enjoyable and per
haps even more remunerative
Vhen he is able to leave the sana
torium.
