"Your organization has already
accomplished splendid results In
alh'VitttlnK the effect of this dread
disease in Oivgen, and deserves
the encouragement and the coop
eration of the people of Oregon, In
lis future efforts."
In these words (inventor Patter
son endorses the work of the Ore
nun Tuberculosis association In n
letter received today from him by
Mrs. Habile Orr Dunbar, executive
secretary. "I regard It as an an
nual privilege to express my hear
ty commendation und support of
the real sale by which the associa
tion finances Its program of health
work," the novernor continued.
The rale of tuberculosis Christ
mas Seals started the day follow
ing Thanksgiving IKiy liy the Ore
gon Tuberculosis association -aud
its twenty affiliated associations
known as county public health as
sociations. They are volunteer
groups for the most part, the two
exceptions being L-uio county and
Multnomah county where the work
has developed to such an extent
that paid workers are essential for
the county program.
That an ounce of prevention is
really worth a pound of cure is. In
the estimation of Mrs. Munbnr,
particularly true in the work fi
nanced by the annual sale of
Christmas seals. "We do take some
credit for the continued reduction
oi the annual death-rate from
tuberculosis, but those who have
purchased ChriMmns Seals in past
y'in are the ons who have really
made this possible. We who ad
minister the funds you contribute
have had to decide how to best do
this humanitarian work. Toe board
ot directors, made op of physicians
MirgfoiiK, nurses, business men and
worn u, ht-alth officials, professors,
teachers, and other socially mind
ed persons decided our work
snouid be to prevent tuberculosis.
When this association was formed
in I ft K the annual death-rate was
flu out of every 100,000 persons.
In l!aS It was 5fi. In other wonts,
at the rate of Increase of the popu
lation In Oregon, the number of
deaths last year would have been
950 had the 1915 rate continued.
The actual number killed last year
by tuberculosis was So4. be
lieve we have had some part tn
this saving of lives. Nationally
known lite insurance officials tell
us we have. Kmiueut physicians
and ourgcons it'll us wo have.
Coventor Patterson has endorsed
till" year-round program w blch Is
helping to save the lives of your
neighbors and mine. It is on this
rfconl that we Imno our appeal to
you; buy Christmas Seals, for they
oo ligiu tuberculosis."
The Jackson County Health as
sociation has charge of the sale of
the seals In tills county.
Another good example of he
cohimunlty advertising which Is
being fo effectively carried on by
tho California Oregon Power com
pany has Just iLppcarcd In n rccnt
Issue of the Oregon Voter. This
advertisement which carries the
caption' l 10.000 l.nrul Turkeys
Help Kill the Nation's Flasket."
tells tin Interesting story of .he
ltiait turkey crop In the following
words:
"One hundred ten thousand tur
key are hoing shipped from south
ern Oregon to eastern and western
markets this year. There will he
110.000 tables with the center of
attraction from this favored region.
The average gobbler weighs np
proximately fourteen pounds, mak
ing a total of over ony million and
a half pounds of holiday dlnnei.
In other words, southern Oregon
Is feeding; nearly one million peo
ple with nice tender turkey raised
under ideal conditions to be Jn.-l
right.
''Progressive flock raiser's nre us
ing electricity to hatch and brood
their flocks they find that elec
trically raised turkey do not wan
dor away ns do those mothered
by n roaming hen they find th.U
they can raise a greater number
of more sturdy birds this modern
way,"
Another fine piece of advert!-
log recently published by Cooco
In the interest of the territory vt4
entitled "Pears for the Wor'd."
:nd told of the widespread distri
bution of local pears which brought
returns of over five nnd nnc-h.il
million dollars into southern Ore
gon this year.
This type of Advert Nine which
is published by the California Ore
gon Power company In outside
magazines nnd periodicals is of a
most constructive character and
combined with the Volt Annual is
nt tract tmt much favotable atten
tion to the many advantages of
southern Oregon.

Friday night, to start his work j
of compiling tint city ordinances)

ago given him by tho city coun
cil, because of, his familiarity
with those ordinances, which ho
compiled several years ago, weed
ing all obsolete and worthless or
dinances, but which the city gov

then and since because of lack of
funds' for tho purpose. Now the
work must all be done practically

to the effect that I asked the
council to ley an additional 12. 60

the city should be willing to pa
for having a social upervior et j
all public dances.
It should mean more to the cltl- (
sens of Metlford to have the moral;
and social standing of these dances
raised than It doe to the people
who run the dances.
