State Board of Health Will
Co-operate to See That
AH Given Proper List
ing On County Records
Babe's nore In Oregon this montb
is more than something orer which
Mother may chuckle and coo. Tot
hi note It to be counted, along with
inose ol all his little fellow Ore
foolana. and the counting, It hap
pens, may be of the greatest Import
ance to baby when he growa up, or
even before.
A campaign to list officially all the
babtea born In Oregon In the last 13
montha waa announced today In Port
land by Dr. Frederick D. Strieker,
aecretary of the state board of health,
cooperating with the State Emergency
Relief Administration and the I"ed
eral Census Bureau.
Famlllca to Report.
Cards will be mailed from the fed
eral bureau of the census to every
home In Oregon. These cards will be
, aelf-explenatory, and no return post
al will be required. They will go
to 'Washington, D. C, whence they
will be returned to Portland to bo
checked with the recorda of the Ore
gon board of health. , All babies found
missing will be entered In full at
once In the courthouses of the coun
ties where they were born.
"Of course everybody knows that
the physician Is supposed to report
promptly each birth at which he at
tends," said Dr. Strieker, "but dos
tore sometimes forget. Some children
re born without the attendance of s
physician, And in such cases parents
may not own know that the birth
should be reported to county author
Itles. Record Important
Yet It la sometimes of great Im
portance that an Individual's birth
should have been placed on the pub
lie records at the time It occurred.
Title to property Is often Involved,
and even the right to attend school,
go to work or play on a football team
rroof of nativity Is required for Issu
ance of a paasport."
Campaigns similar to the one In
Oregon are being put on all ovor the
United States. The effectiveness of
the campaign In each state la Judged
by the proportion which the number
of births reported on carda bears to
the total population.
"The Intelligence and progressive-
ness of the people of Oregon are stire
to be Judged by our showing In this
campaign." aald Dr. Strieker. "In
these qualities thn people of Oregon
are not excelled by those of any other
state, and I look forward to a m-ig
nlflcent volume of cards rolling Into
tne census bureau from Oregon dur
ing the next 30 days."

Circuit Judge H. D. Norton, who
Monday mildly criticized the chief pa
role officer of the atate while meting
out a three and one-half year sen
tence In state prison for Glenn
Stringer, 31, local youth, said today
he had no further comment to make.
The court said from the bench he
"had been unable to understand by
what law Stringer had been released
from the penitentiary before he had
completed the serving of two previous
sentences." The court also observed
It Is high tlms the ststa had an
other chief parole officer."
stringer plead guilty to burglar
izing Mann'a Department atore last
October and confessed to participat
ing In 18 other local buarglaiiea since
his last release from atate prison.
stringer's three admitted compan
ions in the Mann atore crime en'ered
pleas ot guilty and were granted six
months' auspended sentence because
they were first offenders and "domi
nated by Stringer."

Chief Parole Officer Dan Kellaher.
yesterday In a atatement at Salem,
declared Stringer had never been pa
roled on two previous state prison

titled to good behavior credits on

that he could not have been released
before hla time expired without pa
role action.
The locsl records show that Strln-
refonn school snd twlcs committad

Is your family circle the victim of a noisy, squeaky, radio? Is the fact
that radio has so improved in the last few years discouraged you in at.
tempting to keep up to date? This year's radio approaches perfect re
ception. All extraneous noises are practically eliminated. Tone quality
of such purity it must he heard to be believed. Naturalness of tone that
thrills and beauty that inspires.
Why not trade in your present set and get a good one. It will prove
the best investment in entertainment and companionship for the entire
family you have ever made. A good radio can be purchased for less
than half the price of a four or five year old set. We do not sell radios,
but your local radio dealer will be proud to show you the latest instru
ments. A new radio for Christmas would prove a revelation to the entire
family. Ask your dealer about radios today.
