"This means that virtually every person has a vested Interest in the hospital of his community," he said. Tt trTiame time the good work of other hospitals should w! think of the Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children Portland which will have a special program Sunday Mav 16. starting at 1:3a Work that the Shriners have done U&ugh ignoble venture is great-backed with the support ofSJ public. Children under 15 are admitted t , Shriner Hospital without regard for race, color or creed. Some in our own .county have revived vitally needed treatment there Last year 366 children wete admitted to the hospital, and It arranged Z2U visits to the out patient clinic. (MhopwUc operations at Shriners Hospital totaled 502 in 1964 and surgical operations are performed three days a week. In addUioi last year children of the hospital were provided with 4TT bracW and 47 artificial limbs. Since the hospital was dedicated in Portland in 1924. it has given free treatment to more than 11,500 boys and girls. Perhaps fewpersons fully realize the tremendous cost that modern hospitalfface in keeping pace with the development of medicine Equipment is expensive.

Hospitals exist for only one reason, and that is to provide our physicians with the best possible facllit es to get well. Even though a physician may be the greatest capable of diagnosing cases perfectly and prescribing perfely, our hc pitals must have the equipment the personnel and the know how to carry out his prescriptions If a patient Is to have the best chance for survival or full recovery. hrtcrvltai So when we think of our fine Pioneer Memorial hospital, Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children, Doernbecher in Port land aid Tall Tthe other fine hospitals that serve mankind, we haVI? il!ffc&rV S to up on the hill and see Plonee, Memorial standing there, knowing that its doors will open to you and yours if you need its services. Yes Hospital Week is one that we enjoy observing, and we iZ this method to salute those who have had foreright to provide such fine facilities, as well as to those who staff them so well. Don't Knock C-Plus Students (From the Stayton Mail) A research study of 1,072 leaders in business, education and government listed in "Who's Who in America" found that a majority of them had averaged C-plus to B in grades during COlThS is according to an editorial In the Chicago Daily NC From this it does not follow the way to get into "Who's Who" is to avoid getting A. But the lack of connection between who's at the top of the class accidentally and who's at the p of the nation in these fields a generation later doestadl cate that school grades don't measure all of the important thiThe Chicago editorial writer says the reasons for a student not getting the best grades may be poor ones, such m laanesa and inefficiency just as there are poor reasons for getting high grades, such as overly-narrow interests or caring more for marks than for learning. But there are also valid reasons why many students get less than the highest grades, such as the development of in terests and abilities not contained in the curriculum. It should be noted that the three fields included in the research study business, education and government require interest in the skills of Popte- h'at grades provide needed Incentives and useful measurements. But it is healthful to be reminded that life and human nature are too complex and varied to be caught by grades and pinned for all time, like dead butter flies in an exhibit case. We suspect, as the Chicago writer, that most inhabitants of the big red book are more outstanding for continuing to learn and grow after graduation than for their high grades while in school.

She stepped right up In front of everyone nH laid the hot iron to the calfs backside without a grim wrn when she was en voiAnxi In the amoke of the burning hair. WHEN THE KIDS got to the Swanson grain bins Saturday, Gar had a big Hams truck load ini. u-tth wheat, and It was just vS.. full. When the kids clambered up the side and got into that wheat, it was quite a involution. Thev lust about went rrnrv with excitement. They ran through n. graowu a . shovel and dug In it. got down and "swam" in It, and literally splashed it around as if they were swimming In a pool. Gar must have been a little amazed, but he was so tickled at watching the kids he Just about split his sides laughing at them. In the process the youngsters scattered wheat all armind the truck so Gar should have a good crop coming up around his bins. He'll have to be careful or he will be penal ized for overseeding his allot ment with this additional "acre age." . . . ED SHANNON.

WITH THESE good weeKcnas frm i n & on the warm weath er and bright sunshine there is the urge to get in the family car and go on outings on a Sun day afternoon. If you are thinking of Bull Prairie and taking the family Boat Club to Meet At Arlington Sunday Meeting of the Arlington Boat club will be Sunday, May 16, at 1 p.m. at the home of Vel Robinson in Arlington, mrs.

Dues in the organization are cheap now only $5 per year and those interested couia sign on now, grow with the club and have a real good thing going in two or three years for family relaxation. Could also be that they would develop a facility for the club at the Willow Creek basin which will be set up by iho r-nrna of Engineers.

At the same time the CXld Fellow' built their fine new stone build ing Just north and adjoining the Huberts saloon. Some of the stone used In the construction of these two buildings were shipped from Elgin, Oregon, and the black or blue stone wn quarried from the local cliff. Then the new court house wn started and finished and rock from the ame source were used. "A Jew was the architect; a Frenchman. Frank ITatt. the head rock man. Vic Groshens. another Frenchman, who later opened a saloon on the corner of Main and May streets was another rock man on tne joo. Robert Will set the stairway and did most of the carpenter work. It was finished and occu pied at the time of the great flw.d of 1903. "Yes, there was a clock In the tower at that time." So goes Mike's story of the courthouse. Just a few weeks be fore the flood something went wrong with the clock. Judge Ayers asked me to see what was wrong. I examined the tower and found the braces were too light In one place. I took up a couple of braces, Jacked the tower up to place them, and the clock has been running ever since. There definitely was a clock there before the flood. Tho settling of the tower Jammed tho works of the clock, and the court had Peter Borg, local Jeweler, repair it. I got $25.00 for the Job. O. M. Ycager Castle Rock, Wn.
