Mr. and Mrs. Will Fisher of
Washington, Kan., are spending
the winter here at the home of
their daughter and son-in-law,
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Collister. The
Fishers celebrated their golden
wedding anniversary at their
home in Kansas last year.
Mr. and Mrs. Lauran Paine
entertained at their home on the
Klamath river Saturday night.
The occasion was a surprise
birthday party honoring Mrs.
Paul Visher. Following a buffet
supper, the guests spent the eve
ning playing whist. Those at
tending were Mr. and Mrs. L. C.
Wash, Mr. and Mrs. Al Kutsky,
Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Bennett, Mr.
and Mrs. Paul Visher, and the
host and hostess.
A form of flu, or virus infec
tion, has attacked a number of
people in this area recently. Last
week, two teachers in the gram
mar school, Mrs. Kate Smith and
Al Gregory, principal, were ab
sent due to the infection. Sub
stitute teachers were Mrs. Jan
Cozzalio of Hornbrook and Mrs.
Ralph James of Yreka. Gregory
also was ill one day this week,
but because of the shortage of
teachers, no substitutes were
available, so the classes had to
be combined.
Tom Watt Jr. has received
word that his brother, Charles J.
Watt, has filed to be a candidate
fcr mayor of Portland, Ore. He
has visited here a number of
times, the latest visit being over
Thanksgiving.
Mrs. Grace Cummins, who is
employed as a nurse's aide at the
Siskiyou County general hospital
in Yreka, has been "under the
weather" at her home for sev
eral days.
The heavy rains of last week
end brought creeks hereabouts,
and the Klamath river, to a much
higher level that was alarming,
but not to the danger point. The
ground is so completely satu
rated now that the water either
stands in puddles or just runs off
to a lower spot and a larger
puddle.
Farmers are hoping for a sub
stantial snowpack in the Siski
yous to provide a reservoir of
water for irrigating purposes
next summer.
An Oregon-Nevada California
freight truck was ditched near
the Dry Gulch bridge in Yreka
Canyon Monday morning when
the brakes locked. The truck was
quite badly damaged, but for
tunately the driver was unin
jured.
r Gordon Greene sustained only
a slight head injury last week
end when he dozed off at' the
wheel of his car near the Dr.
Lucas place and the car flipped
upside down in the Klamath
river. He had gone out early in
the evening to assist a friend
whose car had gone dead in the
canyon. After working on it in
the driving rain for some time,
he towed it in to Yreka where he
worked on it until after mid
night. Then, tired and wet, he
started for home, and having
the heater on in his car, became
drowsy. When the car jolted on
the rocks at the edge of the
river he awoke and had the
presence of mind to open the car
door. Fortunately the blow on
his head did not render him

held in all towns in the county
between 7 and 8 p.m. Tuesday.

to dig deeper than ever into
their pockets during Tuesday's
last minute fund appeal, Jerry
Lausman, county chairman, said.
Chairman of this year's Moth
ers' March, Mrs. Jack Lewis,
said "This is a personal thing
with women. Mothers know that
when polio is finally licked,
their own children and children
everywhere will be protected."
Mrs. Lewis explained that the
National Foundation for Infan
tile Paralysis, through the March
of Dimes, now is faced with a
double job.
...Two Jobs for Funds
"First, the 68,000 children and
young adults, already striken by
polio must be cared for, and we
must have funds to care for those
who will be stricken during the
coming year," she said.
"Second, we must make sure
that funds are available to con
tinue the important research
which will ultimately make polio
a disease of the past."
She added that the Salk vac
cine is rated between 60 and
90 per cent effective and re
search is now going on to make
the vaccine 100 per cent effec
tive, or possibly find an even
better vaccine.
"Until that is done, and the
vaccine is made available to
everyone at low cost, polio wiE
not be licked,'.' Mrs. Lewis said.
Tabulations After March
Residents in every town in
the county are asked to turn on
their porch lights at 7 p.m. to
welcome the marching mothers.
Block workers will turn their
collections over to their captains,
with the Medford captains to
take the money to the St. Mark's
Episcopal parish house where
local tabulations will be made.
Members of the Medford
Moose lodge will canvass the
four local drivein restaurants,
the country club, theaters and
busy downtown intersections
during the Mothers' March hour.
Cruising city policemen will pro
vide protection for the block
workers, Mrs. Lewis said.
