Diogenes didn't
need a lantern
Diogenes, they say, was a very
smart fellow. 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.

HEALTH MEETING
TOLD OF
The mobile X-ray unit which
will offer a free chest X-ray to
every Jackson county citizen in
a campaign to accomplish an
early diagnoses of tuberculosis,
will come to this region in the
fall. 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.

of the X-ray. 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.
