During the past year the Red Cross qualified 222,- 693 persons in first aid and taught water safety and rescue methods to 80,961. This army of First Alders and Life Savers Is one of the great safety factors in the nation. They are trained to give Imme diate first aid at the scene of accident, thus saving many lives and preventing permanent in jury. Red Cross training includes skill in treating for shock, splint ing fractures, checking arterial bleeding, applying artificial res piration, towing drowning per sons to safety, and in the safe handling of boat and canoe.

A similar campaign has been launched this year through Red Cross chapters. ---------- * 1937 CAR LICENSES REQUESTED BY MANY Many car owners have al ready indicated an eagerness for low numbers for their 1937 li cense plates and a large number if applicatioss are now on file in the office of Secretary of State Earl Snell.

When they take the cash away from the aged pensioners, the stores will surely miss it, be cause relief in place of cash pension just means a "hand out” and stuff that’s handed out is not food fit for aged stom achs. Vote No again against that old fraud of a pension bill, same old bunk we turned down two years ago. Mrs. A. E. Jennings ______ * Mr. and Mrs. J. W.

Peeve by Keftner THE INVISIBLE GUEST „ —o— “Today there is an invisible guest who sits at the table of every family in the country,” said Lewis H. Brown, President of Johns-Manville, recently. “He is the invisible tax-eater, who collects the hidden taxes. When the housewife purchases three pork chops, the butcher weighs them out, but only wraps up two. The third he gives to this invisible guest.” Every family in America is supporting this “invisible guest.” Something like twenty per cent of all the money we earn goes to his support, directly or indirect ly. And he will take still more in Write in X CARL STROM County Commissioner -For the Common People- Pd. Adv.. Carl Strom, Scappoose, Oregon more expensive. Whether you are a Republi can, a Democrat or a Socialist, taxation is one of the largest items in your budget. Irres pective of the political party in power, only the strong force of concentrated public opinion can bring about tax reduction and remove a menace to industrial development, savings, employ ment------- and economic prosper ity.

Taxation is a great issue—but it should not be regarded as a partisan political issue. Men high in both major parties have paid lip service to tax reduction, and then, through their acts, brought about higher taxes.
