The total number of X-rays tak
en there was 3,105. Of this num
ber there were 82 positive or
questionable cases reported and
88 unsatisfactory. There were
270 retakes requested, which
means 270 persons were asked
to have larger X-rays taken be
cause of troubles indicated in
the miniature pictures taken on
the mobile unit. Four moderate
ly advanced cases of tuberculo
sis, previously unknown, were
found by the X-ray and. two
other chest conditions which
needed attention.

GEN. WAINWR1GHT
ASHLAND VISITOR
EN ROUTE SOUTH
"There must never be another
Pearl Harbor, never another
Bataan, never another Corregi-
dor," General Jonathan Wain
wright. hero of Bataan, told a
gathering at Ashland Saturday
night in urging a program of
universal training with a strong
national guard and army reserve.
"A strong country is never at
tacked," the famous general told
Ashlanders. "The attack of the
Japanese was encouraged by our
unpreparedness in 1941." The
general told of MacArthur's
final words before leaving the
Philippines for Australia, how
he said that never before had a
force the size of the American
100,000-man garrison at Bataan
and Corregidor been so isolated.
In simple words the tragic pic
ture of Americans and native
troops "burned up" in a 27-day
continuous bombardment were
told by the man who led the gal
lant last stand.
The tall, kindly four-star gen
eral, "S k i n n y" Wainwright
passed through Ashland Satur
day enroute to California and to
an army assignment in the eart.
His son, Naval Commander Jack
Wainwright and his daughter-in-law,
Mrs. Wainwright, accom
panied him and were overnight
guests of Senator and Mrs. Esrl
Newbry at their home at 120
High street in Ashland. A small
dinner party was held for the
Wainwrights with Mr. and Mrs.
Don McGregor of Grants Puss
and Mr. and Mrs. Herb Grey of
Medford as guests. A few peo
ple visited the Newbry home dur
ing the evening to meet the dis
tinguished guests, among them
being Rep. and Mrs. Frank Van
Dyke and Rep. and Mrs. Hilding
Bengtson.
General Wainwright expressed
considerable interest in the
southern Oregon country and is
planning to return for steelhead
fishing in Rogue river when
duties permit. He recalled that
his father, one of the long line
of Wainwrights who have served
the nation in the army, was a
lieutenant with forces fighting
the Indians in Oregon in pioneer
days.
It was apparent that the gen
eral is regaining rapidly his
health and vigor after his trying
days in Japanese prison camps
at Formosa, Tokyo, Chemulpo
and Sian. He showed the weari
ness of intensive Victory bond
selling appearances and voiced
the hope that he might rest when
he arrives at Monterey, the home
of the Wainwrights.
SNOW GIVES PROMISE
OF IRRIGATION SUPPLY
Snows in the hieh hills tl,
past week give promise of a late
irrigation water supply next
year. Watermnstpr Pllninn
Smith reports. There are now
close to two feet at Fish Lake
and corresponding amounts in
the Siskivous and at Hintt T.w
The fall at Fish Lake, main
source of supply for the Med-
iora irrigation district is now
ft
NOTHING we can do can
adequately repay the
more than 250,000
American heroes who
died that we might live.
But we CAN and MUST
provide hospital care and
treatment for the hun
dreds and thousands who
are maimed and crippled
some, in body, some in
mind.
To do lest would be a
lasting reproach to the
free institutions of de
mocracy for which THEY

about the same as the entire to

Watermaster Smith says the
early fall will pack, and form a
firm foundation for the late win
ter snows, and barring an ex
ceptional warm spell means late
water next summer. The last
readings were made last Friday,
and considerable snow fell over
the week-end, the watermaster
says.
OCTOBER AID LESS
THAN YEAR BEFORE
General assistance given by
the Jackson county Public Wel
fare commission for October of
1945 fell somewhat below the
figures for 944, according to
figures presented at the Novem
ber meeting of the commission
held last week. In October,
1945, the figure was $8,981
while in October of 1944 it
reached $7,775. However, the
October general assistance was
slightly higher than September
of this year, which amounted to
$6,653.
Old age assistance for October
of this year amounted to $3 ,779
for 871 cases, as compared to
$27,346 for 821 cases in October
of 1944 and $31,671 for Septem
ber of this year. Aid to depend
ent children was also somewhat
higher, reaching $5,253 for 160
children in October of this year
as compared to $4,624 for 158
children in October, 1944 and
$5,172 for 161 children in Sep
tember of this year.
Eleven children were cared
for in foster homes at a cost of
$482 in October and blind as
sistance totaled $583 for 12
cases. These figures vary little
from month to month, the report
shows.
Irrigation Water
Hearing Underway
In Circuit Court
The irrigation water hearing
of Minnie Straub against P. S.
Jensen and others for adjudica
tion of the water rights to Caris
Creek, in the Missouri flats sec
tion of the Applegate, is under
way before Circuit Judge Her
bert K. Hanna. The plaintiff is
represented by Attorney George
M. Roberts and the defendants
by James Chinnock of Grants
Pass.
The plaintiff seeks a water
right for the irrigation of 13.9
acres upon which there Is an
orchard, grain and hay fields
and a garden. It is claimed that
in the adjudication of Applegate
section rights in 1919, the Caris
Creek flow, as far as the plain
tiff is concerned was overlook
ed. The creek is dry most sum
mers. Plaintiff asks for a decree giv
ing her the water right.
where else
will 50c
buy so much?
At nearly at wo can figure
out. It costs about 50 contt a
day more to stay at The Olym
pic than, let ui say, the aver
age Seattle hole). Usually our
Northwest neighbors stay about
three days. So, actually, it costs
you onfy $1.50 more when you
stay at The Olympic
But where else, and how else,
will SO cents buy so muchf At
The Olympic you are stopping
at a hotel which ranks with the
best In the West. It's the center
of things In Seattle. Shows,
shops, movies, ust about every
thing Is within, or about. Its
block-square walls.
There are three dining rooms
affording a choice of dining
to suit every preference, and
every pocketbook. There are
the Coffee Shop and the Grill
which serve delicious meats,
at modest prices. Or there's the
Georgian Room where you may
dance while you dine eleganlly.
After dark, there's dancing
nightly In the swank Olympic
Bowl to name bands. Imported
from New York, to make the
evening memorable. So, next
time you come to Seattle come
to The Olympic. You'll like our
friendly, neighborly, way of
doing things and be surprised
how much greater will be the
enjoyment of your visit so
little greater the cost.

DOWN WHILE IN
"Snafu," the cursing parrot
belonging to Attorney Hugh Col
lins, former army lieutenant,
quartered in the county jail, is
taming down his language, his
owner and jailer Sorge report.
As soon as warm weather comes
again, "Snnfu" will be placed on
probation in the Collins back
yard. Attorney Collins said today
the parrot was in good health,
contented and enjoying jail life.
He visits with the four or five
inmates and at times "plays like
a puppy."
Many offers have been receiv
ed by mail to purchase the pet,
but it is not for sale. As high
as $150 has been offered.
A Portland woman wrote last
week saying she would like to
have custody of the bird, but not
to buy it, and promised to give
it good care.
"I worked in the shipyards
during the war, and anything
the parrot might say would not
embarrass me," she wrote.
Offers to buy "Snafu", or give
him a home came from many
states, including one from North
Carolina.

The American Legion is a cross section of
America. For a cuar(cr of a century the
Legion has represented the American way
the Constitution and all (hat it stands
for. Small wonder, for the members of
the Legion have fought in World Wars I
and IL for the things that the Constitution
grants us.
You know the members of the Legion.
You meet them every day. The driver of
the bus you take to work. The owner of
your favorite restaurant. The president of
your bank and one of the guards, too.
The conductor on the train on that last
trip you took. Your doctor, the druggist
on the corner, the owner of the local
theatre and the man who runs the pro
jection machine.
This isn't the entire list. To complete it
would require an enumeration of every
type snd sort of employment, business or
profession; every race and creed; every
shade of political opinion or affiliation;
every degree of financial condition.
The members of the Legion sre war vet
erans, yes veterans of World Wars I and
II. But they are more than that they
are men and women imbued with a deep
and lasting love and respect for this coun-'
try and its principles. They are men and
women of ill s colors and creeds, from

every walk of life, from widely divergent
backgrounds and experiences. But they
have (his in common love of country.
They like the American way of life here
at home and it is their aim to keep it
that way.
Because the Legion is founded on such
rock-firm foundations, it has survived the
onslaughts of other elements that sought
to shake it. And that, too, is a tribute to
the integrity of 1,500,000 Legion members
in over 12,000 posts. The fact that the
membership of the Legion has continued
to grow through the years, and is now at
the highest mark ever reached in its his
tory, is answer enough to the question,
"What do the American people think of
the American Legion?" From the homes
of its members, to national and inter
national affairs, (he Legion's strength and
understanding arc felt, for its power and
influence reaches far.
That's what the Legion is. What it does,
is another story a fascinating story
. . . which future messages will tell. The
American Legion reaches into the homes
and future of its members into the

World War I and World War II bring
ing with it benefits that come only through
a group of free men working for the ben
efit of their country and each other.
