T MEDFORD MATT, TRTBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 194T. PXT5E TEN UNITED FRONT FOR PUBLIC HEALTH IS PLEA TO WORKERS Saldle Orr Dunbar Empha sizes Ordeal Ahead In Ad dress Before Local Group There ar torn thing! In life that are priceless and health 1 one of them" with this declara tion Mrs. Saidie Orr Dunbar, exe cutive secretary of the Oregon Tuberculosis association, Thurs day afternoon challenged every person to help form a united front to "hold fast those things accomplished In the field of pub lic health and to carry over the gap, which lies ahead of the present national emergency." Speaking In Inspired but rea listic language before the Jack son County Public Health as sociation and guests, who filled the court house auditorium, Mrs. Dunbar predicted the greatest depression of all time and the need for the greatest battle of all time for the creation and per petuation of health. "We can safeguard those, who come after us," she stated. "Is there a greater challenge?" Nutrition Neglected There can be no sustained civilian or defense program without more attention being given to nutrition," she warned the workers, reviewing the find ings of recent United States army examinations of the na tion's youth. Those findings, ahe explained "are nothing for organizations such as ours to crow about. Such definite signs of lack of nutrition are a strange indictment against America, the land of the free." She described the nutritional conferences held in Washington to develop a program, expected to bring about a better fed American youth, and urged all workers to get behind the find ings of this conference and to demand the enforcement of them. Must Widen View The present need for a wider viewpoint on the part of all or ganizations and individuals was also emphasized by Mrs. Dun bar, who said that health or ganizations would have to ex tend themselves into many other fields in addition to their traditional war against the spread of tuberculosis. We are going to have to develop an in ternational and national view point as well as a state and county, she said. Turning to the probable estab lishment of an army cantonment in Jackson county, Mrs. Dunbar said she had heard many com pliments for this region upon the program of recreation and health already established in an ticipation. Then she asked "Do you have enough hospital beds? Do you have enough nurses? Do you have sufficient equipment and facilities in your county health department? These are things you must consider." Mrs. Dunbar added that there were many things in Jackson county that she could brag about, but that her present mis sion was not one of praise, there being too many importunt things to be stressed in regard to the defense program. Sacrifice Needed "We will have to sacrifice tome of the things, which have enriched our lives, to give se curity to others," she explained, then added that the public health was the one thing, which must not be sacrificed, the one thing for which all will have to batlie, when the great tax load becomes greater. When and if the cantonment comes in, she pointed out, there j will be hosts of families follow- i ing along, who will not be under army regulation. Their health will not be protected by the army, as is the health of the soldier, and their health will become the community's respon sibility, it will be up to such groups as the health association, she added, to assume that re sponsibility. She then sug gested that the association draw upon every other possible or ganization for support in that program. "sou must establish a strong health program and stand be hind it as you have never stood before," she declared. "We must V& STROUT ,TaVk I fratrf atlvrrf ltr of -W trr prpTr. it mm mi- r T.OftA ! f llnmri l-'arma ArAa:r. Harm frm all trr tfc World. Frr mprm Hat Inn, E. A.

Challenge Been "Traveling from one border of this continent to another I have seen such lack of oppor tunity in various groups that it is the greatest challenge of my life. To save a mother, to save a child, to protect boy from infection is worthwhile." With those remarks and a plea for "a better adjustment of human av iations," Mrs. Dunbar concluded her talk. Mrs. Alex Sparrow, associa tion treasurer, presided at the meeting introducing the speaker in the absence of Mrs. J. C. S. Weills. Tea was served at the conclusion of the program by the Central Point and Gold Hill groups at a beautiful autumn table. Mrs. C. G. Hlgglns of Route 4 has received a letter of sym pathy from K. F. Home, lieutenant-commander, U. S. navy, concerning the death of her son, George Edward Higgins, killed In a motorcycle accident near San Diego, Cal., Au gust 31. The officer wrote: "It was with deen regret that I learned of the death of your son, for he was well-liked by all who knew him and was an excellent navy man. He had been recom mended for promotion and I am sure he would have progressed rapidly in the service." According to the letter, George, a seaman first class, U. S. naval reserve, was riding on a motorcycle with another navy man. The motorcycle ten me pavement on a slight curve, traveled on the dirt shoulder for a short distance, struck a boulder imbedded in the shoul der and threw both riders to the pavement as the machine turned end over end. Lieutenant-Commander Home of the U. S. advance destroyer base, where George was sta tioned, wrote that "apparently the main cause of the accident was the unfamillarity of both men with the road on which they were traveling, as the mo torcycle left the pavement, then struck the boulder and went out of control."

The' same perform ance will be repeated at 2:30 this afternoon. Climaxing the afternoon's per. formance, and bringing to a close the first day of a two-day rodeo said by many to be one of the finest ever staged here, was the exciting Brahma bull riding contest won by Shortie Lee atop Gaucho. Ben Price roped his steer in five seconds flat to capture first place in this event, beating out Cleve Kelley of Ft. Worth, Tex., by one-tenth of a second. SI Elliott won the profession al bulldogging contest in :15.2; Chuck Shephard on "Reserva tion" copped the bronco-riding event by virtue of riding ability after several other performers had stayed aloft the required 10 seconds, and Cleve Kelley won first money in the calf-roping contest with a time of :17.3. While none of the cowboys was badly hurt, several of them -eceived severe shaking-ups when tossed to the sawdust off bucking broncs and Brahma bulls. Queen Nina Tuttle, who was selected to rule over the rodeo by popular applause and riding prowess between halves at the Medford-Weed football game Friday night, led the grand en trance to open the rodeo. She was flanked by her princesses, Susan Vilas and Dorothy Hayes. Following in order while the Medford senior high school band played, were the Jackson county sheriff's posse and the ladies' posse, a representative of the Klamath county sheriff's posse, and many local horsemen and horsewomen. Queen Nina and her princesses were introduced to the grandstand spectators. Between rodeo events Si and Fannie Otis, with their trained mule, Abner, staged several hi larious acts, and Nancy Kelley, 10-year-old daughter of Cleve Kelley, gave an exhibition of trick roping.

JACKSON COUNTY 4-H CLUB LIHEST WEDNESDAY o THURSDAY and FRIDAY p.m. FOREST SERVICE TO TRY NEW SAW ' First of a hazard reduction crew of about 20 men will take to the field tomorrow to burn slashings and cut down snags in the Union Creek and Butt Falls districts of the Rogue River national forest. The snags will be cut for the first time this year with a power-driven failing saw devel oped in the power equipment laboratory at the U. S. forest service warehouse in Portland, headquarters said. Two ot the saws will be used on this forest. Use of the saw here will be ex perimental as the tool is still in the process of development, headquarters said. A gasoline engine provides the power. Heretofore the only way to cut down a tree was by two men using a hand saw, it was pointed out. The new power-driven fall ing saw was the subject of an article in a recent issue of Tima. It is a light portable tool. Cost of slashing disposal is borne by timber purchasers who make payments for this purpose at the time of sale. GILLASPEY To Mr. and Mrs. J.
