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.

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.

1. Keep poisonous household

stairways are well lighted.
3. Don t overload wiring, and
don't store oily rags.
4. Lock up firearms, and don't

S. Keep a first aid kit in your

6. Drive your own car the way

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

in 1952 and again in the 1954 con
gressional campaign, had t way

germ theory, and Indeed.-almost
everything else which has been
discovered in the health field.
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

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.
