Emergency Repairs
Near Completion
Yreka Siskiyou county road
commissioner, Orel E. Lewis, re
cently announced that 95 per
cent of the emergency repairs
have been made on roads and
bridges damaged or washed out
during the late December floods.
He pointed out that emergency
repairs do not include reinstate
ment to legal road conditions,
but it does include recondition
ing to the point of permitting
one-way traffic and rebuilding
bridges to accommodate emer
gency light traffic.
Portions of emergency work
still remains on the old Klamath
River road, where more than
three miles of road was washed
out. Completed work includes
the Cummins Bridge across Cot
tonwood ' creek north of Horn
brook, and the Hornbrook de
tour bridge.
Funds Allotted
State highway district two,
which includes Siskiyou and
Shasta with five other counties,
has been allotted $2,596,650 for
rebuilding and replacing flood
damaged highwys and bridges.
The department of public
,works said the money will come
out of statewide fund reserves
and that flood repair projects
will not be charged against the
construction budgets of individ
ual counties involved.
The department said it was
impossible to tell whether flood
restoration could be financed out
of existing reserve funds or
whether it might be necessary at
the end of the fiscal year to de
fer some highway construction
projects in the regular budget.
Emergency funds will be used
to restore embankments and sur
facing, provide drainage riprap,
reoair or rebuild bridges and
provide for slide removal. :.

Portland Doctors;
Support Fluorides
Portland The Mulanqmah
County Medical society, for the
second time, has passed a resolu
tion approving fluoridation of
Portland's water supply.
The action was taken Tues
day by the legislative body of
the doctors' organization after
a special committee restudied
the matter and returned a unani
mous report urging the society
to reaffirm its support of; the
proposal. The report said:
Portland's drinking water is
deficient in fluorine, that a flu
oride content of about one part
per million reduces tooth decay
in children 50 to 75 per cent;
that fluoridation of public water
supplies is the most satisfactory
and economic means of supply
ing the fluorine; and that ex
tensive experimentation has
shown that the process is safe.
Stevenson Has No
Guess on Eisenhower
, Boise, Ida. '0J.R) Adlai E.
Stevenson says he has "no guess"
whether President Eisenhower
.will run again this year.
Stevenson, who arrived here
last night for an overnight stop,
was asked if he believed Mr.
Eisenhower would be the re
publican presidential nominee
again now that his doctors had
pronounced him fit for another
term. . ' V
"I have no guess about it,"
Stevenson , answered. "And
what's more I don't think I am
going to be consulted."
On The Side
(Distributed by King
The number of alcoholic liquor
outlets beside highways should
be greatly decreased. Also these
breeders of dangerous drunk
automobile drivers should be
subjected to very strict police
supervision. Surprise visits to
roadside bars by highway patrol
officers should be made. On these
occasions any customer who ap
pears inebriated should be pre
vented from getting behind the
wheel of a car. He should be
sent home in a taxi or made to
remain at the place until sobered
up.
Brides
Did your bride adhere to the
traditional suggestion to wear
'something old, something new,
something borrowed, something
blue?" For something blue most
brides wear a blue garter. But
how about the "something bor
rowed" is there any favorite ar
ticle used for that? -
Longevity
The lives of fat women are
brief. Excessively plump females
die young. So I note it said. How
about Elsa Maxwell? She's 72..
Weighs 196. And then there is
Sophie Tucker. She is 72.
Asides
A true millionaire in this
country is a person whose annual
income exceeds $1,000,000. Keep
this in mind when arguing as to
the number of millionaires in
the United States at this time.
Dental health experts maintain
a person of 45 should have at
least 19 of his or her own teeth

Pills May Replace
Needle for Insulin
Pittsburgh (U.R) A re
search scientist predicts that
pills will replace the painful in
sulin needle in the treatment of
diabetes within two years.
Dr. I. Arthur Mirsky, Clinical
Medicine Department head of the
University of Pittsburgh Medi
cal school, reported on 18 months
of research Wednesday night to
the Clinical Society ofvthe Pitts
burgh Diabetes association.
Mirsky said there are now
two pills which look like good
substitutes for the insulin needle
v. most diabetes cases. But he
emphasized it was still too early
to say the pills were absolutely
safe. ' " .
But he predicted that within a
couple of years - new-type pills
for diabetes will be perfected
which will be both completely
safe and effective.

Porter Asks Ellsworth To
Debate Issues of Campaign
Eugene Challenges to polit
ical debates have been flying
thick and fast in Oregon the past
week. ...
Most' recent one is from
Charles O. Porter, Eugene attor
ney who is a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for con
gress. He has challenged Repub
lican Incumbent Harris -Ellsworth
to debate on the Al Sa-
rena mining' controversy, or on
partnership power.
(In Grants Pass, Frank Street-
er, editor of the Courier, editor
ially has challenged Sen. Rich
ard L. Neuberger to debate on
the Al Sarena matter, and Ells
worth, Neuberger and Sen.
Wayne L.. Morse have given or
received other debate chal
lenges.) Porter's letter to Ellsworth
follows:
Dear Mr. Ellswarth:
In the past you have not re
plied to my letters or other com
munications requesting that you
debate campaign issues with me
or that you put my name on the
mailing list for your news letter.
I suppose this is standard polit
ical procedure and that I should
regard such treatment as evi
dence of your anxiety with re
spect to my candidacy for the
seat you now hold.
: However, I'd prefer to be on a
more friendly basis with my op
ponent. I certainly have nothing
against you personally and have
never campaigned by making
personal attacks on you. I' hope
you feel the same way about me.
All of which leads up to this:
If you want to debate "partner
ship" at Green Peter or Cougar
or any other issue, why not de
bate with me? I've asked you to
debate many, many times the
power issue and others. Forty
four per cent of the vote in our
1954 contest was for me. I am
again a candidate. And I'll be
glad to meet you at your con
venience in Albany, Eugene,
anywhere in the 4th District.
Easter vacation time would suit
me fine.
I'd also like to debate whether
Davis was justified, in terms of
procedures and evidence, in
granting the 15 disputed Al
Sarena patents. Of course the
law isn't debatable but his ac
tions under. it are
How about it? You want to
debate. I want to debate. In No
vember you'll be running against
the Democratic nominee in the
4th District,- not Senator Morse
or Senator Neuberger. I await
your reply.
Sincerely,
Charles O. Porter -
