Rnxine fans who have sadly
witnessed the degeneration of
boxing from a sport oi some
skill to something resembling
inhuman beating will be inter
ested in Jack Dempsey's ex
planation of the six positive
steps he believes can help re
store boxing to its former
status.
The former world heavyweight
boxing champion is special
guest on "Boxing the Final
Round," a radio documentary
at 3 p.m. today on KBOY-AM
and FM.
The thirty-minute study of
the status of boxing in the
United States is based on
Dempsey's article, "The Boxing
Mess and What To Do About
It," appearing in the October
issue of the Reader's Digest.
Also appearing on the pro
gram will be Abe J. Greene,
commissioner of the World Box
ing association, and John Bon
omi, former chief investigator
of the Kefauver committee.
Bobby Glcason, New York gym
nasium owner and fight pro
moter talks about his 50-odd
years in the business; Dr. Ernst
Jokl, a leading authority of
sports medicine in the United
States, delivers some startling
and revealing statistics about
brain damage to boxers; and
Sen. Kenneth -B. Keating of
New York will discuss the meas
ures Washington lawmakers are
considering to help boxing.
This Is one of the monthly
"All America Wants To Know"
series produced as a public
service by the Freedoms Foun
dation of Valley Forge in asso
ciation with The Reader's Di
gest. These programs are con
sistently well done, being inter

This is a national award and
only about 15 are presented an
nually throughout the United
State. It is given to persons who,
in saving or attempting to save
the life of another person, per
form a first aid or life-saving act
that is judged meritorious.
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 fflOUlD IE BAD
ETOiffl T TOTE 'HO'
ota mimm is..."
"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?

w 1 w If Measure 1 is defeated, the entire
state of Oregon will suffer in the long run. 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.
ON MEASURE 1!
