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. Today, five years after we

birth defects, with which 230,000
babies are afflicted every year
in this country, the March ol
Dimes had "established the larg

patient care. In this health area
also, the March of Dimes has

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.

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

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

floors of the Chicago Board of

Daley pleaded as he retreated

a public park. But the GOP.

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

vaugeau and Miss Fagot reached
the beach about 8 p.m. Father
Baillargeon and Christy were tak

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

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.
