2 MAIL TRIBUNE, Msdford. Oregon, Tuasday, December 2. 1958 Tireless U.S. Housewives Aid Endless Health Search By GAY PAULEY UPI Women'! Editor New York - (UPD - The American people are on a never-ending search for health TTTTZ that is equal- else in the '1 world, thanks largely to the efforts of a tireless army of housewives. In cities. ft1 towns and vil" ll W 2 laes across Gy pauey the country, whenever the cry goes out for money to fight polio, cancer or other diseases, women drop their dust clothes and brooms and go out to ring doorbells and collect what is needed. They may not know the difference between a labora- tory test tube and a Bunsen burner, but they do know about the ravages of various killing diseases. This year alone, more than 175 million dollars is being raised for major national health projects ranging from palsy to cancer. Many more millions are being collected for research and treatment in less important health fields Still other millions are being solicited for local health and welfare work. The grand total is something like six billion dollars. Army of Volunteers Most of the fund raising Is done by a vast army of vol unteers estimated at a full strength of more than 27 mil lion and most of the workers are women. T - Dr. Daniel Dodson, chair man of the New York Univer sity Department of Human Re lations, summed up the parti cipation of women, particu larly club women, in the pro motion of health for all citi zens. He said that nowhere else in the world are there people who voluntarily support medi cal research, treatment and re habilitation to the extent American people do. Other countries rely on their gov ernments. In the U.S., the gov ernment does its part, but so do the private citizen. Many college, university and hospital research projects are financed solely with the nickles, dimes, quarters and dollars hosewives collect on Girl Scouts Girls Give Tea A tea and a party were held by Brownie Troop 76, during the month of Novem ber and the troop also visited the County Farm November 24. The tea was held for the troop mothers on November 27 at St. Mary's annex; plans were made then to hold a Christmas program. A report was given on items made at their meetings. The tea end ed with the girls doing a dance The party was held at the home of the leader, Mrs. Al . Carrara; a hula hoop contest - was held with prizes for the ' winners. Refreshments were served. Twenty-nine Brownies at- ted the party. Troop reporter, Carolyn Shasky Anniversary Party Brownie Troop 52 of the Roosevelt - Hoover neighor hood held a first anniversary party recently at the home of Mrs. Victor Milnes, 15 North Groveland avenue. Mrs. Milnes is troop leader and Mrs. Ray Moron is assistant leader. The member's mothers were invited guests; the girls sang several Brownie songs for their mothers as part of the program. The Brownies were present ed a gift from the leaders, a Brownie Scrapbook, and were given their world friendship pins and troop numbers. Refreshments served was a cake decorated with a Brown ie motif in the center and circled by six Brownie dolls; the colors were brown and yellow. Mrs. Robert Sleeter, committee woman poured coffee. Other committee mem bers present were Mrs. B. K Blackhurst and Mrs. Robert Riechers. Special guests for the party were Valerie Hostetter and her mother, Mrs. Robert Hostetter; Valerie is joining the troop as a new member The Mostetters are new to the Rogue valley.

It was the an nual "March of Dimes" that produced the Salk polio vac cine. Foundation of Democracy "I would not for a moment discount the importance of voluntary participation and involvement," Dr. Dodson says. "In many respects, this is the foundation on which democracy is based. "No government could af ford the services to its peoples which we Americans provide through voluntary activity. "I would contend that the well-springs of democracy are in these autonomous organi zations which surfeit our com, munities. Dr. Dodson said of the junior, leagues, .women's clubs and other groups pro viding the nucleus of fund raisers. "Here is the cradle of lead ership training. People with local concerns become involv ed. They study their prob lems, they learn how to work with others. They find they must reflect on what they did wrong, when their plans failed. "They stretch theid own conceptions of self as they gain confidence in leading. "When it is realized that in the social welfare field alone, some 27 million people serve as volunteers, one gets the sweep of such involve ment."

Several of those hearing him said they felt as if they have been de priving themselves or their children of a "wonderful ex perience" in not seing Shake speare's plays "come to life" on the Ashland stage. Mr. Bowman related that he had seen the sam groups of children come to the the ater in Ashland day after day to watch rehearsals. This means the reading " of lines over and over again, the stag ing of scenes, all of which lack the color and dash of the foot lights and colorful costumes that are a part of the finish ed productions. "Children are just as interested in Shake speare's plays, if not more so, than in western cowboy mov ies, if they are exposed to them and given the oppor tunity of sharing them with you," Mr. Bowman conclud ed.
