Tl URGED FOR LAKE, Salem, Ore., Jan. 29. (U.R) Lake and Klamath counties may go into timber farming if a pro posed agreement with the state forestry department is approved, allowing for purchase of Shev-lin-Hlxon Lumber company lands. State Forester Nels Rogers an nounced today that the proposal was discussed at a meeting last week in Klamath Falls, in which department representatives and Klamath and Lake county courts participated. Under the plan, the properties would be bought by the counties and then would be managed-, by the state forestry department. The courts had objected to an exchange agreement whereby the lumber company's lands would go to the federal govern ment in exchange for other forest property. The courts will receive 90 per cent of revenues under the proposed plan, and the forestry department will get the remainder for managing it, tokyorosFheld JUST PLAIN liar Washington .Tun 90 mm The navy hinted dellcntrfv tn. day that Tokyo Rose, the "It" B" w uig uapaucsts ruaio, IS B liar. - Tokyo Rose, the nam; anlnV has announced at least six times that the Imperial Japanese navy has sunk the 35,000-ton battle ship North Carolina.

CREOMUL SIOK1 ! fa Coughs, Chest Colds, Bronchitis JACKSON COUNTY COMPLETE QUOTA The surgical dressing rooms In Medford, Ashland, Phoenix, .Cen tral Point Jacksonville, Gold Hill and Rogue River closed temporarily this week, having finished the fall and early spring quota; 106,800 dressings were shipped Friday of last week and the balance will be shipped this week. ' "There has been such a marked improvement In attend ance at surgical dressing units the past six weeks," says Mrs. Gus Newbury, volunteer chair man of surgical dressing work in Jackson county, "that the latest 'quota assigned to us has been finished ahead of schedule. Our work rooms will re-open as soon as we receive materials for dressings. Pacific area of ficials have notified us to ex pect a quota by April 1." Necessity Rules The quota assigned to this area depends on military neces sity, since American Red Cross r arwftftaiiayi'oa The makes surgical dressings for bat tle areas on contract with the U. S. government. Such contract is based on anticipated needs of army and navy hospitals. Red Cross volunteers in the United States have made 80 per cent of all battle dressings, since it was discovered soon after Pearl Harbor that the commerc ial manufacture was insufficient to meet needs of the armed forces. In Jackson county alone 1,254,000 dressings have been made and shipped to battle areas by Jackson county women vol unteers under leadership of Mrs. Newbury, since Pearl Harbor. The courthouse auditorium rooms have been open three days a week since October, 1942. Oth er units formed as need in creased until every day of every week, except Saturday and Sun day dressings were being made somewhere in the county. Leaders Named Heads of outside units are: Ashland, Mrs. Sam McNair; Jacksonville, Mrs. Violet Wilson; Eagle Point, Mrs. Louise Robin son; Central Point, Mrs. Clara Vincent; Gold Hill, Mrs. George Dorman; Phoenix, Mrs. Addie Loyd; Rogue River, Mrs. Alva Black.

Did you know that should you or a mem ber of your family be stricken, the Infantile Paralysis Fund would be available to you, too . . . would be necessary to your recovery? It is not a fund exclu sively for needy families, but its generous help is for ALL polio victims.

Local funds are allocated for the care and treatment, involving nursing and ' medical care, exercising in a specially heated pool, equipment for muscle-strengthening exercises, braces, physio-therapy . . . and all is available to you and your family. And important, too, part of your contribution goes into research into the causes and methods of pre venting of polio that you or your child may be saved from contracting the disease.
