(Maxine Buren In - Salem Statesman) Not to mention, what their girl friends who turn them up higher, would say. The Russians have crossed the Oder, the last natural defense line of Berlin. This will cause any number of wise-cracks, in the press and on the air, that will cause the listener and read er to say: Phewl e ; The legislature yesterday dis cussed the pronounclation of "Hiatus."

"For all we know, there may be a few good teen-age Germans the ones who flunked the course In Juvenile delinquency." (S. F. Chronicle) Sounds plausible.

You can't do much in education or in anything else without it, and without ENOUGH of it. THE PLAIN truth is the Board of Higher Educa tion simply hasn't the money to take over the Dental School and properly operate it, under the present financial set-up. The school would, it is claimed, be a gift and self supporting. The first is true, the second isn't. For several years at least the Board of Education would have to put more money into the operation of a dental school, than could possibly be taken out. Proper standards could not otherwise be maintained.

How come? We don't know the answer to that one. We don't know whether or not the sentiments expressed by the writer, Private Kahl, are at all representative of the 96th or the U. S. army. UOWEVER that may be, the editorial was an ex tremely interesting one, well-phrased, carefully reasoned, and does pretty effectively dispose of the common belief that when the veterans of World War No. H return they will be UNANIMOUS for turning this country into an armed camp. Ana that brines up another point when the vet erans of this war DO return. 'HIS much is certain. In an important question of this sort, compul sory military service, which will so vitally effect the future of this country and the future of these young men and their children who have given their all. to defend and preserve it; no final decision should be made in which they can not as voters participate.

Lvery neht-thinkinar citizen should onnose any thing of that sort! Perhaps conditions will be such at the close of this war that compulsory military service wiu oe necessary and desirable, we don t know. No one does.

H. Bengtaon wishes an expression of opinion from residents of the county, ar rived in Medford this morning. Bills 83 and 234 deal with the handling of dairy stock and milk or milk products.

B. 83, would require the pasteuri zation of milk and milk pro ducts and for the licensing of pacteurlzation operators but ex cepts milk and milk, products from disease-free herds and further makes It unlawful to re pasteurize milk or to mark un pasteurized milk as pasteurized. A disease-free herd is defined as any herd of cows or goats which has been officially tested for tuberculosis and Bang's di sease by a veterinarian approved by the department during the six-months period prior to the effective date of the act and found to be free f t the diseases. The department of agriculture is charged with enforcement of the aet. Compensation Provided H. B. 232 provides for a com pulsory system of compensation for injuries to or death of em ployee, including compensation for occupational diseases, and for continuance of tho atithnrttv of the chairman and members 0.1 the Industrial accident com mission as already set up by Ore eon law. Domestic and "casual" em ployees, volunteer firemen, cer tain peace officers and salaried firemen, farm employees and certain designated others are ex cepted from the act. The bill provides that compensation for disability shall nnt nrsi ton ppr week or be less than $8 per weeK, with certain exceptions, and thatethe employer shall fur nish medical and surgical treat ment, nurse and hospital service, medicine and apparatus for such period as the nature of the In jury or the process of recovery may require. Copies On File In case of total disability ad Judged to be permanent, 66 33 per cent of the average weekly wages shall be paid to the em ploye during the continuance of the disability, according to the bill, and the same would be paid in cases of disability total In character but temporary In quality. Total compensation pay able under the act would be $7,500. the bill states. Various provisions are made for per manent partial disability. The 64-page bill contains many other provisions for ad ministration, definition of bene ficiaries and other terms and other relevant material. Copies of the bill are on file at the library and Chamber of Commerce in Medford, at the library In Ashland and with li brarians, city recorders or post masters In smaller towns of the county.

Maurice J. Sample, 29, son of Mrs. Muriel C. Sample, of 308 N. Peach street, reported missing in action last Septem ber, has been reported killed In action, according to his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Sample. Lt. Sample was first pilot on a B-17 bomber, stationed in Eng land. His ship and crew were reported missing after a raid over Germany last September 22, she said. Later the other nine members of the bomber crew were reported prisoners of war In Germany. Despite the war department report of Lt. Sample's death, his wife said she believes it may be erroneous, basing her belief on a short wave broadcast from a German prison camp which was heard by three persons in this country who relayed the information to Mrs. Sample. Her husband's co-pilot spoke on the broadcast and stated all of the crew had landed safely. Mrs. Sample, the former Elizabeth Bittle of Medford, and their small daughter, Betty, are living at present wtth Lt. Sam ple's "mother, Mrs. Muriel Sam ple, in Medford. A brother of Lt. Sample. Sjtt. Earl Sample, is in France, also with the air corps, while Mrs. Sample has two brothers, Cpl. John Bittle, now in Italy, and Pfc. Bill Bittle, a gunnery in structor stationed in Denver, Colo., in the service. Lt. Sample holds the Purple Heart award, which was sent to his wife recently, and had been overseas since July, 1944, FIREMEN CALLED ON FALSE ALARM A general alarm turned In to the local fire department at mid night last night was labeled a false alarm today by Fire Chief Roy Elliott.

Elliott declared there is a se, vero penalty under the local fira ordnance for turning in a false fire alarm and that the depart ment is searching today for the guilty parties. , U. S.
