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,

the balance will be shipped this

"There has been such a

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

OUT
POLIOMYELITIS (infantile paralysis) strikes
I ur with lightning Suddenness and without respect to
' U persons. 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. Infantile paralysis is one of the
most expensive diseases to treat and unless a' family is
wealthy the financial burden of caring for the patients
is almost impossible to bear. 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.
