An unusu al opportunity is being
afforded th e high and grade school
stu d e n ts of M ultnom ah county o u t­
side of P ortlan d in the “special
b arg a in h ealth exam ination" w hich

cents.
T his health exam ination is be­
ing a rran g e d by the executive sec­
re ta ry of the county health asso ­
ciation, Mrs. P. R. W hiteside, a s­

nection w ith national health week

ors, P aren t-T ea ch e r associations,
w om en's clubs and civic o rg an iza­
tio n s a re asked to coop erate in th is
n atio n al child health program . In ­
asm uch as the old adage holds
tru e , “ an ounce of prevention is
w o rth a pound of cu re1’, and th a t
50 cents spent now may w ell m ean
th e saving of many fu tu re dollars,
it is desired th a t th e re be a hearty
resp o n se in behalf of th e appeal for
b etter health. Some special tre a t
o r prize will be given to the school

cap ita. F u rth e r inform ation will

J. T. Le F evre of P ark ro se , w ill

who desires them.
T he in te restin g fact is noted th a t
in som e of the counties of th e sta te

th e 50 cen ts w ith w hich to pay the
doctor.
As the doctor’s fee is so triv ial,
cash is required at tim e of exam i­
nation, to save the trouble and ex­
pense of bookkeeping.

Fred W. German
F red W. G erm an is one of the
best known men in P o rtlan d and
the one m ost likely to be n o m in at­

A b rief sketch of his life shows
a varied experience and success
won by hard work.
G erm an was born in London,
E ngland, in 1879. When he was six
yeurs old he cam e w ith Ills people
to the United S tate s and Chicago,
and in an o th er six years to P o rt­
