March Of Dimes Recalls Opening Of Valdomar Swanson, chairman of the Klamath County Chapter of the National Foundation - March of Dimes, recalled that five years ago July 22, the nation's largest voluntary health organization, aft er its conquest ot polio, an nounced a new scientific assault on two major cripplcrs. At the outset, it was announced, the March of Dimes program would concentrate on birth de fects and arthritis, both in the fields of total patient care and intensive research. 'This historic decision," Valdo mar Swanson explained, "was leached after March of Dimes contributions had financed the successful development ot the Salk vaccine, the weapon that ended infantile paralysis as a public health problem in this country. The Sabin oral vaccine, which came later and was also made possible by the March o.' Dimes, was double insurance against any future polio epidem ics. The local chapter chairman said that he wanted to extend the deep appreciation of his or ganization "to the thousands in this country who supported the new program from its start. "They recognized that this fight against birth defects and arthri tis was, in scope anddaring, un like anything any health organiza tion had attempted before, and far exceeded even public health programs that the federal govern ment had launched in these areas. "I particularly want the people of Klamath County to understand that they have played a vital part in a magnificent achieve ment.

New Assaults of Dimes finance fi.1 treatment centers for victims of birth de fects and arthritis, including two evaluation clinics. "In addition, we have spon sored and supported 15 clinical study centers lor treatment, re search and teaching in t he s e health areas. The centers are af filiated with some of the leading medical centers and medical schools in the country. 'In arthritis and rheumatic disease," he continued, "which afflict 11 millions in the United Slates, we have dynamic leader ship by the nation's top scien tists and physicians. We have brought to reality new concepts of care for arthritis sufferers. We have a reasearch program that highly qualified scientists be lieve will lead to major break throughs in the foreseeable fu ture." He added that in the field of birth defects, with which 230,000 babies are afflicted every year in this country, the March ol Dimes had "established the larg est single integrated source of patient care. In this health area also, the March of Dimes has devised a broad-based medical care program which will leave its imprint forever." Fifty years ago, it took the mo torist 35 days to cross the con tinent, compared with six days now, says he American Automo bile Association. CLOSEOUT!

KIETTNKR Inltrd Press International With the integration problem breaking out all over the coun Iry, some non-Southern public of ficials are finding themselves in creasingly on the firing line of tbe civil rights controversy. Two key attack pomts in recent weeks have been New York, with a Negro population ten times the total population of Montgomery. Ma., and Chicago which has 14 times more Negroes than all resi dents of Jackson. Miss. Mavor Robert Wagner of New York has walked through crowds of pickets to reach his office and Chicago Mavor Richard J. Daley has been virtually routed from one of his city's parks and booed off a convention platform. Both New York and Chicago have long been havens for Ne groes who decided to leave the South. Roth cities long liaup had their sliare of racial incidents. But only in recent months has the integration campaign there been stepped up to its current hot pitch. Two Hig Prohlcms Jobs and housing are the two biggest issues in both New York and Chicago as they are in most of the non-Southern areas where alleged racial discrimina tion was an issue. Just as a 48-hour hunger strike Boating Group Rescued By Two Catholic Priests NEW ORLEANS iUPI - Five persons cheated death in tbe swell-tossed waters of Lake Pont chartrain Saturday because of the strength and courage of two Catholic priests. One of the priests, the Rev John Savaugeau, 45, preached seven sermons in his church Sun day, beginning about 15 hours aft er he towed a teen - age girl through seven miles of gasoline- covered water to summon aid for three other persons clinging to a nearly submerged boat. The Rev. Anatole Baillargeon, 40, of Matick. Mass., was sched uled to deliver the sermons, but he was recuperating in the U. S. Public Health Service Hospital from a different sort of ordeal. Father Baillargeon, who cannot swim, clung with one arm to the bow ol the capsized motorboat and w ith the other held 3-ycar-old Christy Martini above water for 11 hours. The priests, 14-year-old Lannie Fagot, Christy and her mother. Mrs. Gene Martini, 2fi. were thrown into the lake Saturday aft K,r -, tkfM.fl cu-All that Ipansi7ed (heir lR-tnnt hnat. There were only four life pre servers aboard tlie boat. Father Savaugeau gave one to each of his companions and supported himself on the small portion of the bow of the boat that remained above water, intending to remain there until help arrived. But the teen-ager became panicky and drifted away from the boat. Father Savaugeau hand ed the girl a plastic ice chest and struck out for shore, towing her behind him. They reached land five hours later. Mrs. Martini stayed with the boat 3'i hours before trying to swim for help. The ordeal began about 1:30 FRIENDLY HELPFULNESS To Every Creed ond Purse WARD'S Klamath Funeral Home Marguerite Ward and Sons 25 Hih . TU J-4404 Ph.

Also in New York more than 200 integration pickets were ar rested in a single day at con struction ites where hiring dis crimination was charged. Chicago integration groups at tempted to storm to the upper floors of the Chicago Board of taueauon building but were turned back. Many pickets have been dragged to paddy wagons by police. "Republicans are to blame!" Daley pleaded as he retreated from a July 4 freedom rally at a public park. But the GOP. which (or years has written off Chicago to the Democrats, said it wasn't so. Integration leaders, who had gone fairly easy on the Demo cratic organization commanded by Daley, began beating a path to his door this summer. He has been confronted by as many as 500 pickets demanding such tilings as a bi-racial committee. He has worked with Negro leaders in granting some demands. Fears White Exodus Integrationists claim that Daley has dragged his feet on moving Negro pupils into white schools for fear of a great white exodus p.m. (CSTi Saturday. Father Sa vaugeau and Miss Fagot reached the beach about 8 p.m. Father Baillargeon and Christy were tak en from the water by a U. S. Coast Guard helicopter about 2:45 a.m. and Mrs. Martini, still trying to swim to shore, was pick ed up 15 minutes later by a St. Tammany Parish (county) sheriff s patrol boat. All five suffered exposure and exhaustion and burns from gaso line that seeped out of the boat's fuel tank. Father Savaugeau said gasoline stayed with him, caught in the tide, all the way to the beach, STANDARD ui bia cost Chicago more than 100,000 population in the 1950s. At the same time, the Negro popula tion shot upward. While playing the tense situa tion with caution, Daley has been lirm on one point of confrontation with demonstrators: "If a public office is to be used (or public business, taking over of the office by anyone is not proper and in terferes with public business." Wagner, referring to the nation wide civil rights atruKule as pent-up protests against 100 years of discrimination and indig nity," asked for a special New York legislative session to enact laws to promote desegregation.

Woods Dispute Causes Big Jobless The labor dispute in the wood products industry has had a very definite effect on labor mar ket conditions in Klamath Coun ty. Unemployment rose during June to a much higher level than June 1962 or May 1963, and total employment dropped. A total of 890 claims (or un employment insurance were ini tialed or reopened during June as compared to 236 during May and 298 during June 1962. The number of job openings received by this office was down only 20 from June 1962. This drop is less than the proportionate rise in in sured unemployment. SHOP!!
