VBAMX, JENHN8 dllor BILL JENKINS llnmflnf Bdltor max WAtxnone Ottl'l Helping Hand Bv MAX WAUC110PE The cover picture on the Herald and News magazine section !un day portrayed a visual expression ot the "helping hand" which Is the background theme of the United Fund-Red Cross drive which kicks off in Klamath County Tuesday. This helping hand could be described as the means of aid ex tended to some 374 Klamath Coun ty children through the Oregon Chest in the past five years. These child care agencies that are a part of the Oregon Chest include homes for orphans, delinquent and de pendent, unwed mothers. Other youth agencies aided throuah the United Fund drive arc the Camp Fire Girls. Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Salvation Army youth program and the YMCA. Some 7.200 Klamath Coun ty young people have received in struction in the American way of life through these agencies. Adults are given a helping hand In the battle against such diseases as cancer, rheumatism, mental health, arthritis, heart disease and other diseases. In 1954 47 persons died of cancer in Klamath County and 56.4 per cent of all Oregon deaths were connected in some way with heart or blood disease. Arthritis and rheumatism afflicted II million neoDle in the U.S. and there were 10 million victims of mental disease. In the field of the youth agen cies, strictly from a dollars and cents viewpoint, It Is much cheap er to combat Juvenile delinquency in the form of aid to such a youth agency as the Boy Scouts. It costs seven dollars a year to support a scout but an average of $2,100 per year is spent on each juvenile delinquent. Charles Fleetwood, chairman of the 19S6 campaign leaders con ference in Dayton, Ohio, had this to say about the united drives: "Over and above the obvious ben efits that (united drives) render is their significance in portraying the true American way of showing our fellow, citizens how to meet their health, welfare and charac ter building needs. ... But still more important, we have given the individual regardless of race or creed through group activities, the opportunity to exercise h I s right of citizenship, and his per sonal responsibility. Participation in these in volunteer activities always requires sacrilices both in time and money. . . . (It is) the time hallowed, but never time' worn answer to Cain. Yes, we are our premiers aecpersi The United fund method of sup porting the various agencies In volved has developed over the years from the need lor one cen tral means of collecting, coordi naling and disbursing funds. Prior to the use of the united drive method, the various agencies all had to scramble for the needed funds. As everyone can remem ber, this resulted in too many drives and was extremely waste ful as regards to administrative and other costs of the drives. Another factor behind the united drive idea is the one thought that a community should strive to take caro of as many of Its own prob lems as possible. All these agen cies, whether youth, welfare or the ones designed to combat some particular disease, are operating in fields of endeavor where the problems must be met. If the problems are not met on a local level, then it is inevitable that the federal government would step into the picture with the usual over-centralization that this would bring. Kememher tomorrow when the drive heglns that the United Fund-Red Cross way of suDoort- inn these needed agencies is the . nwperauve spirit in actual operation. And give a vole of thanks las well as your contribu tion! to the scores of unpaid workers who make the drive a suc cess each year.

ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED PRESS AUDIT BUREAU OP CTACULATIONS Sanring Southern Oref on And Northern California as has been done for the horse, camel and other animal species the search goes on stronger than ever. Competition for the "first man" title is very keen and new finds of man-like fossils are com ing into view. The Neanderthal man who was the first to be discovered is no longer mys tery. Science now possesses a whole collection of perfectly pre' served Neanderthal skeletons, of children as well as adults. The remains of the older prehistoric human beings are still scanty but there are enough of them to have given rise to many diverse theories. For example, there is the "Maueranthropus" who was found in 1907 in the village of MaUer, near Heidelberg, .Germany. All the Mauer man left of himself to puzzle posterity was his jaw bone. Among others are the Bush man type of skeleton found in the Transvaal in 1913 and who it is argued was possibly a forerunner of the Australian Negro. In 1921 the Rodesian man came to light and he is now classed as an Afri can contemporary of the Nean derthal man. Later finds such as the Steinheim skull in 1933 and the "Africanthropus" found East Africa in 193S, have helped to fill scientific publications with prolonged controversies to which the public seldom becomes a party. The most significant find in re cent decades has been the Peking man who was dug up in 1926 from a stone cave near Peking. Science immediately gave him the name of Sinanthropus pektnensis. Since his discovery some 25 skulls. more or less well preserved, have come to light and science has placed him in a common relation ship to the Java man. A common home In Tibet, or in Africa, or some place in southern Asia has been conjectured for both these groups of men, but so far all speculation on that subject re mains in the realm of pure fan tasy. ' Scientists are In accord that the human species did not develop simultaneously-all over the world. In the Western hemisphere no human or anthropoid fossils have as yet been found, In spite of dili gent searches. As search aoes on it becomes evident that man's age In America is greater than has commonly been accented. however, such discoveries do not change scientific presumption that man in our hemisphere is but an early Asian tourist who came here by crossing over from Siber ia by the way of the Aleutian islands. - The skulls and leg bones of early man which have been found in Europe, Asia and Africa do not definitely answer the aues- tion of who were the direct an cestors of modern man but this does not stop the field of specula tion and battles fought with acres of type.

Make sure floors are not slippery or cluttered, and that stairways are well lighted. 3. Don t overload wiring, and don't store oily rags. 4. Lock up firearms, and don't assume they are unloaded. S.

PoIiticH By JAMES MARLOW AP News Analyst WASHINGTON in The first month of the presidential cam paign is over and the candidates have a little over five weeks to go. How has it been so far? Different from 1952. That s for sure. Four years ago the presiden tial race smoked with emotion. If there's fire in this campaign, it's still in the basement. And the candidates of the four only Democratic vice presidential candidate Estes Kefauver was not running in 1952 are making a dif ferent kind of campaign. - - In 1952 with the country jittery and tired of the war in Korea, divided over Sen. McCarthy (R Wisl, and disgusted with doings in Washington the Republicans made these their three main is sues: The war in Korea and foreign policy in general: corruption in government; and Communtsts-ln- government. , Those issues were the1 kind which made old friends fight and neighbors argue in public. But the war is over now. McCarthy has faded. There have been no real scandals. Talk about Communists In government, long overplayed by the Republicans, has died down. Now the Democrats Adial Ste venson and Kefauver are bang ing away at the Republican for eign policy, critical of it for not finding a new way to deal with the new Russian tactics. - Mostly the Democrats have aimed at things closer at home and easier to understand. They ve been talking about people's pock etbooks on bread-and-butter is sues: Better prices for farmers, more concern for the small busi nessman, power development, more money for the aged, better schools, higher pay for teachers. Stevenson and Kefauver have sighted deliberately at each group which has suffered some money loss under the Eisenhower admin istration for. while this is a time of high prosperity and record em ployment, there are sott spots. In 1952 the Democrats, because they had been running the govern ment, were on the defensive. This I time the Republicans are in that Pot- Naturally, while the Demo crats try to mane uiem loon as bad as possible, the Republicans put their best loot forward. The result is some exaggeration on both sides. It may get worse. President Elsenhower, who cam paigned furiously in 1952, apparent ly thought he could win this year without exerting himself much. He had planned a limited schedule of radio-TV speeches. But Stevenson and Kefauver are beating the bushes hard. Now Ei senhower has decided he'U make more speeches and travel more. He started off talking about moral principles. But after hear ing the Democrats call him t weak president and a poor leader ha started getting t little tough him self. Statements made In most cam paigns are forgotten when they're over. But It doesn't work In the ca" of Vict President Nixon, who. in 1952 and again in the 1954 con gressional campaign, had t way of linking "Democrats" and "Com munists" in the same sentence.

The most recent measure to be proposed and opposed It the fluori dation of the public water supply So far as I can determine, the heated resistance to this public health, measure is based princi pally on fear that tome evil re sults will occur, and on insuffi cient understanding of the facts. The most important facts in a nutshell are these: Long contin ued studies in several communi ties have shown beyond doubt that the number of cavities due to de cay in the teeth (caries) of chil dren can be reduced about 60 per cent by addition of suitable quan titles of fluorides to the public water supply. Here emphasis must be placed on the word suitable, since not enough fluorides would fail to prevent tooth decay and excessively large quantities might produce a discoloration ot tnc teeth known as mottled enamel. The most painstaking studies have been made on the possibility of harmful effects from the addi tion of fluorides to the water sup ply. They have revealed no evi dence whatever that the recom mended procedure increases the danger of heart disease, cancer, or of any other serious human ail ment. Therefore, fear on this score seems quite unjustified. For years many communities on the North American continent nave had fairly large quantities of fluo rides naturally occurring in their drinking water. There is no reason to believe that such fluorides behave any dif ferently from added fluorides, and there is no more illness in such communities than in others. There is really no question as to the favorable effect on the teeth of children of adding fluorides to the water supply nor the safety of doing so. However, another point nas been raised, namely, that to do this forces those who do not want fluor idated drinking water either into drinking it against their will or buying their water elsewhere. I am as opposed to compulsion as anyone else, but this seems to me an unimportant issue in- tnis case. Many chemicals normally occur in drinking water. All public water supplies are chlorinated to kill dan gerous disease germs, ana water is filtered to remove dirt yet wc are forced to drink it. Furthermore, the compulsion an gle can be put in reverse: If fluor- :'i ... .JJ.J - .u 1 in luoii are nut iuucu ivi uio uvueu. of the children whose parents want it. then these children are "com pelled" to do without. It seems to me that tne excite ment raised ay this issue, and the expenditure of time and effort by those who oppose this simple, use ful and inexpensive public health measure, could be devoted to more constructive causes.
