eity. was advised by the national
safety council today that It had one

fatalities.
engineers and architects. The va
rious associations form the council
and In turn have delegates on a
ratio of one to each 10 members
of the Individual professions In the
county serving on an executive
board. Attorney Paul Parrens Is
president. Dr. Richard L. Currin
vice president. Attorney Clay Bur
rell, secretary, and Kenneth Lam
bie. CPA. treasurer.
A primary function of the coun
cil will be to make the professions
heard and felt on matters pertain
ing to professional men. Burrrll
said, and to that end the council
plans to take an active hand in
legislation and on public Issues.
The same is done, Burrrll said,
by labor unions, farm groups, busi
nessmen and the like, and will be
done by the united professional
group. One public Issue in par
ticular Is now aimed directly at
one of the professions, that of so
cialised medicine, and the council
will undoubtedly try to go to bat
for the Interest of the medical
profession In that respect, Burrell
said.
In addition to working for the
preservation of Its own member
ship, the council can be expected
to take It stand on other Issues,
much In the manner adopted by
the chamber of commerce, labor
organisations and the like.
The membership of the newly
organised body Is enthusiastic over
the potential workings of the coun
cil and In another year or two
expects the organisational move
ment among professional groups
to be statewide.
The Klamath Palls council Is
not a closed dub, but will con
sider admission of any recognised
professions.

National Health
Plan Important
To Rural Areas
PULLMAN. July 3S frit is es
pecially Important for rural people
to understand the proposed national
health programs because they
stand to gain more from them than
almost any other group, a rural
health specialist said Wednesday.
Elin Anderson, extension worker
for the U. 8. department of agri
culture, said a conservative esti
mate of time lost by farm opera
tors due to Ulnes last year totals
ao.000.000 man days.
Th dollar de licit in the nation's
bankroll Is caused by Industry's an

physical menu! and social well
being, not merely the absence of
disease or Infirmity.' she said.

more than a mile away, Homer M.
llatlley, a young structural en
gineer, decided he had missed the
boat for the last lime. He would
build a bridge.
He found he had chosen the
world's worst brlitite site. A lake
depth of 150 to Duo feet underlaid
with 100 feet of mud made the cost
of a fixed bruise enormous. Hut
Hadley continued to study the lake
and, a few months later, he had
the bridge built on paper.
The Initial reaction to his floating-bridge
plan was definitely not
favorable. People said It would
hamper ship traffic and mar the
city s beauty.
Hadley continued to show his
plans to various civic organisa
tions. Impressed by the Ionic and
economy of his suggestions, they
launched a "Uuild-a-Hrldgr" cam
paign that eventually had the en
tire slate in an uproar.
To settle the dispute, a Hlale
Toll Undue Authority was created
