Widowhood Study to Get
Underway in Unit Meetings
By ESTHER KIRMIS
Last week twelve women met
at the Lexington school to hear
Roberta Fraiser, OSU Family
Life specialist, discuss the prob
lems of "Widowhood" (via re
cording). They were readying
themselves to teach the subject
to their various units during the
month of February.
This is a subject which most
of us would like to ignore, but
more homes are broken by death
each year than all other causes
combined. In fact, there are 183
widowed women in Morrow
county.
Here Is a quiz I gave the wo
men at the start of the meeting.

Hamlins Return Home
From Southern Trip
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hamlin
returned Sunday night from a
six weeks vacation tour which
took them into several south
western states and Mexico. They
found the leisure trip completely
enjoyable, getting an oppor
tunity to visit friends and rel
atives whom they had not seen
for several years.
They enjoyed the Christmas
holidays at the home of their son
and daughter-in-law, Mr. and
Mrs. R. S. Herlinger in Placer
ville, Calif. While there fhey
helped welcome home their
grandson, Pvt. Ted Herlinger,
who arrived home on leave from
a tour of duty with the army
in Germany.
In Los Angeles they were es
corted on several tours to places
of interest by Mr. and Mrs. Leroy
Donat, including Knots Berry
Farm and Disneyland. Hamlin
and Donat were service buddies
in World War I.
Traveling on into Mexico, they
spent an interesting two days
of sightseeing and relaxation.
They were greeted by warm
Arizona climate and hospitality
while guests in the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Garnet Barratt in Mesa,
Ariz., taking side trips to places
of Interest.
Thrilled by the opportunity to
take that "long neglected vaca
tion" the Hamlins feel happy
and content to be back by their
own fireside. They found trav
eling conditions excellent
throughout the trip, adding to
their enjoyment.
marry within 5 years of
widowhood, she has little like
lihood of remarriage.
9, TF When there's no fin
ancial need, it is better for
a widow to devote her time
to her children than to take
a job.

March of Dimes Mothers
To Deliver Health Leaflet
Mothers who will bel
marching for the March of
Dimes throughout the na
tion this January will dis
tribute millions of copies of
a leaflet entitled "One Min
ute Warning," which gives
the latest facts about birth
defects and arthritis.
According to local March of
Dimes volunteer leaders, these
two disease areas are of con
cern to millions of people in
this country. About 250,000 of
our children are born each year
with a serious birth defect.
Arthritis and the rheumatic
diseases afflict upward of 11,
000,000 Americans.
The National Foundation
March of Dimes is fighting
with the same
three-pronged attackwhich
helped conquer polio as a pub
lic health problem. Using the
Dvnnrinnro pninpd in sDear-
Vio.iHinp the development of
the Salk and Sabin polio vac
rinps. March of Dimes funds
currently finance:
. a nationwide scientific re
search program aimed at find
ing causes and cures for birth
defects ana annruis,
a nationwide network of
treatment centers which help
bring top-quality medical care
to victims of these cripplers,
a nationwide professional ed
ucation program which chan
nels latest scientific findings to
scientists, physicians and their
associates, and
a nationwide public educa
tion program.
Latest addition to this public
education program, according
to Dr. William S. Clark, direc
tor of the medical department
of The National Foundation, is
the "One Minute Warning"
leaflet.
"Our purpose is to reassure
the public that much is being
done in the fight against these
two great cripplers," Dr. Clark
says. "The American people are
financing the fight with their
rnntrihutions to the March of
Dimes, and they have a right
to receive periodic reports of
what is being accompnsnea.

language, the pamphlet, which
takes only a minute to read,
suggests these precautions for
a pregnant woman:
e See your doctor early. Be
sure to tell any other doctor
you may consult, for treatment
of other conditions, that you
are pregnant.
Take no drugs on your own
initiative. Tell your doctor
about any you have been tak
ing. Especially, stay away from
"tranquilizers," "mood adjust
ers," and "happy pills."
Learn your Rh factor, blood
type, and your husband's. In
form your obstetrician.
Follow the diet your doctor
prescribes.
Avoid excessive smoking and
drinking.
If pregnant, don't knowingly
expose yourself to infectious
diseases particularly German
measles.
For the person who suffers
from arthritis, the leaflet
stresses: "Follow ONLY the ad
vice of your doctor." Several
other points of advice are
given, among them, "Remem
ber, there are no quick cures,
no short cuts. Good results from
treatment require time and pa
tience." If your home has been missed
in the distribution of this pam
phlet, you can obtain one free
of charge from the local March
of Dimes headquarters.

Postal Savings
To Be Terminated
At Local Office
Designation of Heppner as a
postal savings depository will be
terminated as of the close of
business on January 29, Jim Dris
coll, postmaster" announces. All
remaining accounts will be
transferred to Pendleton.
All depositors have previously
been notified of the impending
action and those who so desired
have withdrawn their deposits,
he said. Those who wish to con
tinue their accounts will be able
to do so by mail with the Pen
dleton post offcie.
Business at the local postal
savings depository has dwindled
from a peak of S174,i)ui).uu, in
the late 1940's to less than $18,
000.00 at the present time and
reflects a trend in the savings
and investment habits of the
general public. The 2 interest
rate compounded annually is
less than is generally available
at other sources which probably
accounts for much of the decline,
Driscoll said.
Since the early 1950's the Post
al Department has been divest
ing itself of postal savings de
positories in those communities
where no particular need exists
due to adequate commercial sav
ings institutions, and particular
ly where business has become
static and reflects little use of
the facility.
In 1959 Heppner absorbed the
remainder of the Postal Savings
business from John Day, which
in turn is now being transferred
to Pendleton.
