Dr. A. Zrin Merkel, Jackson county public health officer, and newly elected association pres ident, aid the site would be se lected during a meeting of the board of directors at a later date. Since a state meeting of public health officers is scheduled for December in Portland, the ex ecutive session will probably be held then. Many of the board live in and around Portland, he explained.

HEATH'S Medical Center PHARMACY S3 North Central Quotation by Christian Bovte (1820-1904) Copyright 1957 (10W4) board of health. He outlined new developments in water pollution control. Continuing Program Water pollution control is a continuing program, he said. It has been proven that water pol lution is definitely related to pro ducing disease, and is a constant danger to the community, he noted. One of the aims of the state water pollution control program i is to keep down pollution of a I stream or river as much as pos- sible in order to preserve and j protect fish and wild life which depend on streams "for mainten ; ance," Everts said. Since some streams and rivers ; are already polluted by nature it j is somethimes difficult to deter i mine a starting point for pollu- i tion control, he added. j Everts said the division is j watching various new develop ments in sanitation, particularly those relative to small commun ity disposal systems. One of the several new meth ods of sewage disposal is the la goon or pond type of sewage dis posal unit now in use in some towns in eastern Oregon. This consists of allowing the sewage to flow into a large pond or pit at least a half mile away from town where it gradually evaporates when exposed to the air. The problem here, he explained, is to maintain a steady enough flow as to equal the evapora tion and ground saturation pro cesses. Little odor results in this method. Everts said. Panel Discussion Those participating in a panel discussion on "Single Greatest i Obstacle or Problem to Over come in the Next Five Years Except Money" felt that recruit ing of properly qualified and trained personnel is the most dif ficult task facing public health officials One reason for this is that the public health training program is not promoted or supported by private industry or the govern ment. Industry now is even re cruiting people from high school, it was pointed out. Salaries will have to be raised and security benefits increased to meet the competition with private industry, a panelist said. Community Interest Another problem is to get community interest and com munity awareness of all ramifi cations of public health. The pub lic must be made to realize how public health benefits and influ ences their daily lives. Participating on the panel were Dr. Charles Newberry, health officer of the Washington county; C. Eugene Fields, senior sanitarian, Coos County health department; Keith Putman, su pervisor, vital statistics section, state board of health; Marjorie Paul, registered nurse, Klamath county health department; Gene Malecki, executive director, Ore gon Heart association. Dr. Charles F. Blankenship, western regional medical direc tor, Public Health Service, sum marized the conference. He said the state board of health and the county health departments in Oregon are doing an acceptable job compared with the rest of the United States. Possibly one reason for Oregon's effective program is that it emphasizes the immediate needs instead of a long range program as in the east, it was explained. It is geared to actual community needs.

The more we pass the buck, the less the buck will be worth! fighting inflation is everybody's job . . . He and his wife, Florence, re sided on South Third st. for many years. After the death of Ex-Governor Dies In Portland Home Portland (TP) Former Gover nor Jay Bowerman died at his home here at 2834 Southeast i Carlton street Friday night at the age of 81. Death followed the third in a series of coronary attacks. i He had served as governor j from June 17, 1919, .to Jan. 8, j 1911, succeeding to the execut- j tive's post from his office as president of the state Senate. ; He was a Republican. ! Subsequently, he was active ' in promoting the state's ' first highway construction bond is-' sue in 1917 and worked for i passage of Oregon's pari-'mutuel j wagering law, insisting that rac-, ing revenues be used for sup port of county fairs. Mr. Bowerman was born in Hesper, la., Aug. 15, 1876, and was a graduate of Willamette University. He was admitted to the state bar at the age of 21 in 1897. He practiced law for 12 years at Condon, and was elected to the Senate from that district. He served during the Spanish American war.

But whatever it is . . . whatever its causes . . . it stares you in the face every day in the form of rising prices. Everybody agrees we are in a state of infla tion today, but too many say it can't be stopped. Or they pass the buck, and say fighting infla tion is a job for the other fellow. Inflation can be stopped and must be stopped. We believe it's a job for all of us, whether as housewives, workers, employers, savers or taxpayers. There are three important actions all of us as individuals can take: 1. First of all, we can buy wisely, and get our money's worth foneverything we buy. When we buy wisely, we ease the strain on the family budget. 2. We can save more. Not only will our savings give us greater peace of mind and family se curity, but these savings will provide the capital this nation urgently needs to keep our economy growing. ( 3. We can see to it that our government spends our tax money wisely whether it's the gov ernment in our home town, our state or federal government. Remember it's our money that government spends, and if we keep on asking for more government spending, we'll keep on paying. ,i By doing these three things, all of us can help check inflation and keep prices from rising still higher. Life insurance is the most widely used form of thrift in America. We feel that we have a duty to help preserve the purchasing power of the dollar.
