Responsible for Rescue The two ooys were responsible for rescuing Jerry Chambers, 20, Junction City, from Emigrant lake last June while they were participating in a small craft class (here as part of the Red Cross Youth Aquatic school. Chambers, not a student of the school, was in the bouyed-off swimming area of the lake when he stepped off into a hole, pan icked and submerged. Efforts of a friend, Jim Thomas, to effect a rescue were futile, and Thom as finally had to be pulled to safety by Mrs. Barbary McNeal Austin, Ashland, who happened to he on shore. Mrs. Austin sounded the alarm for help after she assisted Thomas ashore and turned to discover that Chambers had dis appeared from sight. Converges on Scene The boating class, 44 strong, converged on the scene and be g a n a massive underwater search in water of 15-foot depth. The near-lifeless body of Cham bers was located and pulled from the bottom of the lake by Reid. Lewis, who was responsi ble for getting the search organ ized, carried the unconscious Chambers close to shore where mouth to mouth artificial res piration was started immediate- iy- Chambers was revived, treat ed for shock and then removed by ambulance to the Ashland Community hospital where he recovered completely. The at tending physician credited Chamber's recovery to the quick and deft actions of the boys. Chapter Commended Wallach commended Jackson County Chapter for its outstand ing work in organizing and con ducting t h e Youth Aquatic course in Ashland each June. He paid special tribute to Mrs. Roy j Wilkes, water safety chairman ' and director of the school since , its inception two years ago, and j all of the volunteers who have I worked on the pilot program, the only one of its kind in the United i State. I He pointed nut that such a program is a credit to a com munity which supports it through ' Ihcir contributions to Uniled Fund and in the finest tradition of what Red Cross has been try ing lo get across since 1363 when Henri Dunant founded the Red Cross. Benefits lo youngsters and a community from such a pro gram are unlimited. Red Cross officials noted. It is a known fact that at lcasl four lives have been saved as a result of the training these young people have received at the school.

"It would be bad enough to vote 'no' on October 15 and thereby turn thousands of students away from col leges and destroy their once-in-a-lifetime chance for an education; to short-change about 412,655 students by cheapening their education in our high schools, junior high schools and grade schools ... BUT ... can we conscientiously turn away men, women and children who need welfare assistance (food, cloth ing, medical care)? Can we tell the courts to stop send ing men and women for committment to our mental or correctional institutions because we are not willing to bear the costs?" This summation of the issues in Tuesday's special elec tion was made by a study committee appointed by the highly respected Metropolitan Civic Club of Eugene. After careful study of all the facts, the committee's 20 page report unanimously recommended active support of a "YES" vote on Measure 1! WHAT ARE THE FACTS? Fact 1 If Measure 1 is defeated, up to $60,000, 000 in income will be eliminated from the 1963-65 Gen eral Fund budget of the state. There has been much confused and confusing talk about making up the dif ference through painless "trimming." The fact is that every one of the following state agencies could be COMPLETELY ABOLISHED without balancing the budget: ALL Genera! Government Agencies Legislature . . . supreme court . . . public defender . . . circuit courts . . . district courts . . . tax court . . . board of census . . . Treatment of Sexually Dangeroun Persons program . . . district attorneys . . . entire Executive De partment . . . Departments of Finance and Administration, Planning and Development, and Justice , . . secretary of state . . . tax com mission . . . state treasurer , . . ALL other miscellaneous general government appropriations. ALL General Fund appropriations for Commerce and Labor Cor poration, Insurance and Real Estate departments . . , bureau of labor . . . Labor Management Relations board. ALL General Fund appropriations for Natural Resources and Transportation Departments of Agriculture. Forestry, and Natu ral Resources . . . state engineer . . . fish commission . . . soil con servation committee . . . water resources board , . . Rogue River Coordination board. PLUS release of all inmates from Hillcrcst, MacLaren, the Correc tional Institution and the Penitentiary. It is a FACT that abolishment of every one of the above would still leave more than $6,000,000 to be cut from the budget if Measure 1 is defeated! c o ' Despite the publicly repeated claim by those leading the campaign against Measure 1 that they do not intend to hurt education, the fact is that if Measure 1 is defeated, the big cuts will have to come from education and essential social services. Where else can you slice the pie for $60,000,000?

But the most immediate burden will be borne by those least able to defend themselves. Most immediately affected will be those under 21 and those over 65 the two age groups that account for most of Oregon's popu lation increase since 1950. Fact A ' ' The elderly and those most in need of help and restitution as self-supporting citizens will , be the victims, along with society, of massive cuts in state social services including welfare. 1 VVI Oregon's colleges and universities have no alternative sources of income available to them. Any cuts now must be made up by increasing tuition and reducing the number of students admitted at a time when record numbers are seeking admis sion! The State Board of Higher Education has em phatically stated that its responsibility lies in admit ting to the colleges and universities under its control only that number of students it can serve adequately. FCICt Any reduction in the State Basic School Support Fund, which accounts for 35 of the total General Fund and offsets local property taxes, must be made up in one of two ways: Either the edu cational standards in our public elementary and high schools are deliberately lowered, making 400,000 Ore gon children the victims of a political maneuver, OR local property taxes must be increased to make up the difference! There is no other alternative if Meas ure 1 is defeated. Fan r f" 7 ' Defeat of Measure 1 on Tuesday would, in the words of Governor Hatfield, "set the entire state back 20 years." The Oregon AFL-CIO agrees. Associated Oregon Industries, Inc. agrees. So do the Oregon State Grange . . . the Farm Bureau Federation . . . Oregon's leading newspapers . . . Ore gon Congress of Parents and Teachers . . . Oregon School Boards Association . . . Oregon Education As sociation . . . the state chairmen of both the Demo cratic and Republican parties ... and citizens in all walks of life, from all parts of Oregon, who have studied the facts.
