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

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."

1,000 SEE RODEO
AT FAIRGROUNDS,
REPEAT 2:30 TODAY
Honors were evenly divided
among the contesting cowboys
yesterday as the second annual
Medford rodeo got under way at
the fairgrounds park before a
shivering crowd of some 1,000
spectators. 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.

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.
