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.

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.
Survivors include the widow,
the former Wayfe Hockett of
Eugene; two daughters, Mrs.
William Hall Washington, D.C.,
and Mrs. Richard Rathbun, Jos

he economists call it "inflation."
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.
