The Columbia County Grange
met Saturday, Nov. 2, at the
Scappoose High School with
Warren Grange members enter­
taining.
The hospital promoting com­
mittee of Pomona Grange: Thomas

man; Noble Dunlap of Mist a d
Mrs. Ione Backlund of Warren
presented the following report:
Last Pomona the Hillman bill
was up for the president’s sig­
nature, which was Bigned a few
days later. The summary of the
bill is as follows: approximately
$375,000,000.00 was to be set
aside for aid to and construction
of necessary hospital facilities.
The bill provides that at least
thirty states in the union must
make a survey of their state
needs and turn in a report of
their funds necessary before the
money can be appropriated.
Oregon in 1945 anticipated this
move and has sent in the survey
report. Oregon’s share is 2 mil­
lion dollars; it stands in 8th place
along with New York in the U.S.
Those ranking higher are the
Southern States where hospital
facilities are nil.

Helens hospital as first on the
list, after giving due consideration
of the problem. An approximate
survey of building and equipping
a suitable hospital shows the ex­
pense to be in the neighborhood
of $4,000.00 per bed. The doctors
committee of Columbia county
believes it will take a 30 bed
hospital to care for the people of
Columbia county. This means a
sum of $120,000.00. It is under­
stood that the Hillman Burton
bill provides one-third of this as
a federal grant, all conditions be­
ing met, leaving approximately
$80,060.00 to be raised by the
residents of Columbia county.
The contributions must come
from the country as a whole. It
will be late in 1947 before surveys
afore mentioned will be complete
and funds available. Columbia
county has about 23,500 residents
at present. This represents about
$5.10 per capita to build the hos­
pital. The Junior Women’s club
of St. Helens has raised $785.00
already for this purpose.

Automobile Insurance
Complete Coverage on
All Makes and Models
Wives and infants of enlisted
men and veterans are eligible to
receive emergency maternity and
infant care benefits, according to
the Columbia county chapter of
the Red Cross.
A wife of a veteran is eligible
for benefits if the date of birth of
the infant is less than 280 days
after the father’s discharge. The
husband must have been in one of
the four lowest', pay grades of the
armed forces, or was an army or
navy aviation cadet.
The baby is entitled to health
supervision as well as jnedical and
hospital care if the) father was in
one of the eligible pay gradee at
any time during the mother’s
pregnancy or during the baby’s
first year of life.
children.
If both parents are deceased,
thk child's legal guardian receives
$30 a month. For two children
the guardian receives $45.60, with
additional amounts approximating
$12 for each additional child.
Recent legislation removed pre­
vious restrictions as to the total
amount payable in these cases,
Craig said. In effect, the law
authorizes compensation for each
child surviving the veteran, re­
gardless of their number. The
law also grants a 20 per cent in­
crease in payments, which is re­
flected in the foregoing rates.
Craig meets with ex-service
men and women each Wednesday
morning in the city hall here.
