Human Head Lice
Found in Multnomah
Portland OPI The first
serious invasion, of human
head lice in Multnomah coun
ty in 15 years was reported
Tuesday.
Health Department officials
said the infestation has been
found chiefly in public schools
in the county since the first
of the year. The outbreak has
been pretty well centralized
in the mid-Multnomah county
area, health officals said.
Forty out of 700 children in
one school had it.
F. Sydney Hansen, county
health officer, said he hated
to generalize on where the
head lice was coming from
but that he was forced to con
clude that migrant families
arriving in the county in poverty-stricken
conditions are
bringing them.
SOCIETY FORMED

steps have been taken to form
a SovistArab friendship socie
ty in Moscow, Radio Moscow

Allied Split Seen
Russian Strategy -
Washington (IP) Soviet
strategy is designed to split
the Western allies instead of
setting up an honest to good
ness summit parley that
might ease East-West tensions,
U. S. officials concluded Tues
day. Diplomatic experts said
they saw clear evidence of
the "soviet game" in the Mos
cow decision to meet separte
ly or not at all with Amer
ican, British and French dip
1 o m a t s during preliminary
diplomatic meetings - in Mos
cow. This "one-by - one", pro
cedure, these experts said,
shows - Soviet Foreign Min
ister Andrei Gromyko has
Kremlin orders to try to find
some way to divide the allies.
The Red strategy, they said,
is to find and exploit possible
points of difference which
may be developed in the in
dividual diplomatic meetings.

Among the guests were
many from Grants Pass, in
cluding members of the li

city officials, and others who

history of library work in Jo
sephine county, stating that a
board was appointed in 1914,
and negotiations with the Car
negie Foundation were start

Before the Carnegie library
was built, books were lent in
a room of" the court house,
with Miss Maude Barnes as
first librarian. -In 1947 the

organized last year, and Mrs.
Floyd of Holland lends coun
ty library books on a limited
basis at the Holland, store.
Circulation, said Judge Lath
rop has increased from 12,
109 to over 174,000 yearly.
Mrs. McGregor, chairman
of the library board, publicly
thanked local organizations
for their generous donations
to the library.

for the new library are the
Illinois Valley Federated
Women's club, the Illinois
Valley Garden club, Veterans
of World War I, barracks 146,

Independent Order of the
Odd Fellows.
The building has 2,100
square feet of floor space and

chased for $1,500, making the
total outlay to the county
530,000.
