But when he took his lantern and went around looking for an honest man, he pulled an historic boner. Too bad that he didn't see his ocu list twice a year. Diogenes needed glasses. Had his vision been clear and true, he would have stepped up to the first person he met on the main street of ancient Athens or any other place, for that matter and ended his search. For almost everyone you come across is honest. Our ex perience proves that. Only the other day a man, who had owed us $927 so long we had written it off the books, sent in the money and a letter of explanation. He had been short, he said, quite a while. In fact, this was the first time he had had the money. So enclosed find check! In many variations, our ex perience has convinced us hon esty is more than the best policy it is the almost universal policy. Most people feel Sancho Fanza hit the nail on the head when he said, "Honesty is the best policy." The best known of copybook proverbs is a gen erally adopted rule of life. On the other hand, there's another old saw that's equally true. It says that to be good, to be hon est, is no way to get your name in the papers. That doesn't seem right. Hence these few words on the subject. You read about the bad. But nobody mentions all the good people. You never hear, for in stance, about such citizens as an unusual customer of ours who always pays us with a signed blank check. We don't encour age this practice, but feel com plimented just the same. Out patron and Sancho are a lot nearer the beam than Diogenes.

This is the news brought to Medford by Mrs. Saidie Orr Dun bar, executive secretary of the Oregon Tuberculosis association. Mrs. Dunbar was speaker Friday afternoon at the annual fiieeting of the Jackson County Public Health association, which spon sors the Christmas Seal Sale to finance this campaign. The discovery of 4,500,000 4F's by the army In the United States, Mrs. Dunbar described as a sad indictment of home, school and community. It is proof, she declared, that the home, the school and the community failed in their responsibility 20 years ago. For many boys, who are 4F's today she explained, would be in good health if the correc tions, needed 20 years ago, had been made. X-Ray Needed Early The army examinations, she added, brought to light again the need for more thorough examin ation to locate tuberculosis in its early stages. The military X-ray brought to public atten tion the possibility of the whole sale chest X-ray. The develop ment of a miniature film made it financially feasible to exam ine millions. Then came the mobile unit, which made it possi ble to X-ray great numbers of persons in their own communi ties. In Oregon 22,000 examina tions have been made, Mrs. Dunbar stated, and the findings have already proved the worth of the pledges, picked on the basis of activities, were an nounced at a student body as sembly May 17.

There were' S92 findings reported, of which 244 were cases of plumonary tuber culosis. Of these 146 had no idea of their condition and were therefore probable carriers of the disease to many others, 68 of them were veryfar advanced cases. Definite progress has been made in all phases of public health, Mrs. Dunbar rejoiced, but Oregon still has a long' way to go. Tuberculosis, the first cause of death when the fight began, is now in seventh place in cause of deaths. It is moving into the masculine ranks, how ever, and is attacking men in the most useful years 'of their life. Each case, Mrs. Dunbar re ported, costs the state of Oregon $10,000. She praised Jackson county upon Its record Christ mas Seal sale and the splendid work this region has always done in the campaign to eradi cate tuberculosis. CARD Or THANKS In behalf of our daughter.
