PACE TWO MEDFOKD MATL TRFBUyE, BEDFORD, OREGON. THURSDAY. JULY 1. 1937. REFUSE TO LEAVE ANCIENTTLYWAYS Biological Survey Finds Birds. Unlike Humans, Stick to Ancient Paths In Spite of All Hardships PORTLAND. July 1, (P) It'i nice right now with the temperature winging upward toward three figures to consider the purposeful duck and geese speeding southward through the bright, cool autumn or bucking-wind and rain on their way to ancestral , resting and breeding grounds. - : The sportsman mops his brow and ' remembers last November's outing, deep In the frigid marsh. But the biological survey men have no time ' to recall the magnificent flights of a season ago, because they are busy , studying data designed to protect . North American birds and perpetu ate a major outdoor Industry. ' t'nllke Humans. The migratory birds of the drought country, unlike the farmers who have fled to the green slopes of the Pa ' ctfle coast, have not and will not desert the fields they have flown i over for generations, Field research by the biological survey reveals that while receding lakes and streams and . dust-covered feeding grounds have taken a heavy toll In migratory bird life, the webfooted travelers still stick to the same old flyway from the hatching stage until death. No gun can scare them out. . This fact, discovered through ex- tensive banding projects In the At- l.ntlx llUilnlnnl untnl mrtA Da - rta f1vwnv. nrMnfji the hlolnnlrAl survey with one of Its greatest nrob- lems. When life gets too tough for in aunt dowi larmer, no picas up mmm finnan. mill tlnlr I mi until the bitter end. The same groups of Individual birds follow the same routes rigidly. ' llnhlts Determined, The banding shows many habits ' they go, how long they stay and. how fast they travel. Into the records - of the Malheur refuge In southeast- - em Oregon, a redhead wrote an eplo ' of winged speed. Banded at Malheur ' before noon on October SO, a hunter at Sal ton Bea near the Mexican bor der bagged the duck the morning of November 1. Game authorities be-. , lleve the redhead flew 1,000 miles without stopping. Other birds band ed In the Oregon refuge have been returned from Todos Santos, Mexico, California, Idaho, Nevada and Al berta, Canada. The attachment of a, bird. for. Its. nroaf.rAl flvurnv tall irnm nvnArtJi conclusively that If ever the popu lstion Is wiped out In any one re glon It may never be repopulated. The midwest sportsman, for Instance, may as well resign himself to the sad tale that when his birds are depleted there will be no sudden visi tation from tbe east or far west. LOAN COMPANIES EXPAND ASSETS WASHINGTON, D. (pl.)

AT ALL AUTHORIZED SHELL DEALERS IS ORDERED FOR Oregon Health Head Esti mates Oregon Accumu lating 3000 Cases An nually May Invoke Law I The public will be educated to the fact that quack cures are extremely dangeroua; that over-treatment U as Injurious at no treatment, and that no drug store remedies can cure the Infection. Doctors will be asked to submit esses to physicians specialis ing; In syphilis, Dr. Btrlcker saying only medical men educated to It can recognize the "hidden chancre,' one of the greatest causes of the disease's spread. Efforts also will be made to mar shal public opinion behind a legisla tive act to be voted upon at the 1938 elections, and which would require parties to a marriage contract to sub mit to blood tests before Issuance of a license, as a eheck against an un witting spread of dangerous diseases. PORTLAND. July 1. (7P Upon the barriers behind which syphilis makes Its dread march against pub lic health, medical leaders of Oregon loosed a counter assault today, pledg ed to conquer the last unchecked major disease of the state, Estlmstlng that Oregon, as a typ ical state, was accumulating 3,000 new cases annually, despite Its popu lation of only a million, Dr. Fred erick Strieker, state health officer, flanked by a committee of the Ore gon Medical association, will employ education, cooperation of the state's army of doctors snd prosecution In the courts If need arise to bring about a decline of the disease. Law Requires Report. False modesty, failure or physicians to report cases as required by law, refusal of Infected persons to seek treatment or their disregard of doc tors' recommendations and the ignor ance of many doctors of the vagaries of the "great Imitator,'' as the dis ease la known medically because of Its simulation of other Infections, was blamed for the continued ad vance of syphUls. As the opanlng gun In his cam paign. Dr. Strieker Issued orders for a census of the disease, beginning to day, ay It he expects to ascertain Its prevalence, sources, and locate csea for treatment. Another step will be the employ ment of an enforcement officer by the state health board. He will seek out physicians who fall to report cases, and If need be cite them to court, where a state law carrying a $100 fine for failure to report cases will be Invoked. Physicians will be instructed to re port cases by number, and if pati ents fall to take treatments, doctors will be obliged to turn their names over to the state health board. Suf ferers first will be offered treatment and If they refuse they will either be Isolated privately or put In Insti tutions by compulsion. Ofrer Treatment Course. Because many doctors are not equipped medically to fight the dis ease, a post-graduate course will be added to the curricula of the Uni versity of Oregon medical school to give physicians special education in treating the disease.

J. Buck, United States regional forester at Portland. Throngs are expected to strike out for the forest playgrounds over the holiday week-end and the utmost caution was advised to avert fires. Serious blazes can be started by the careless discard of a match or cigar ette stub or by failure to put a camp fire out completely, Mr. Buck empha sized. Despite recent rains, fire haz ards are gx?at, he added. Beginning today, permits are re quired for all campflres In the na tional forests excepting at certain im proved and protected campgrounds which are clearly designated, Mr. Buck pointed out. Permits may be procured from rangers or other for est officers. The national regulations are usually applied to state forests through a proclamation by tbe go era or. Smoking Prohibited.

"The records show that earel smokers, cigarette toesera and eampi era cause more than half at man-caused fires," Mr. Buck's state ment said. "These people don't want to destroy their own ptaygroundai but they do. Each year some cholei recreation area or roadside strip m. permanently scarred by preventable fire, it looks as though we are not going to get away from this condl-j tlon until the public la thoroughly aroused over the loss a little care lessness kindles." ' The number of fires and acreage burned within the national forests of Oregon and Washington this year al ready exceed the marks set for the same 1936 period, Mr. Buck said. To tal fires for the season to date art 166 against only 127 for last year.j and the area burned totals 1,334 acres as compared with 357 In 1936,, the records show. ?
