In an effort to place Columbia
county in the forefront so far as voter
registration is concerned, the county
court is urging all eligible voters who
are not registered to do so between
now and October 3, which is the last
possible date to register in order to
vote in November. Special emphasis
is being placed on the week of Sep­
tember 13-19 when it is hoped that
those eligible but not registered vot­
ers will perform this civic duty.
America can remain strong just as
long as we keep our government
close to the people and the only way
that can be done is for every citizen
to prize his franchise to vote enough
to register and at every opportuni­
ty vote. We urge the heads of all
governing bodies in the county to
lend every aid possible to accomplish
this fact.
Respectfully,
Columbia County Court

of Each Month
A total of 610 cases of accidental
poisoning were reported to the Ore­
gon Poison Control Registry for the
fiscal year which ended June 30, 1964,
according to the state board of
health. Twenty-seven deaths due to
poisoning were recorded for the same
period, Dr. Richard H. Wilcox, state
health officer, pointed out.
This represents a 17 percent in­
crease over the previous fiscal year
when 519 poisoning cases were re­
ported. Deaths increaseed even mure
markedly, up nearly 60 percent from
the 17 reported for the previous year.
Children under five years of age
were the victims in 427 of the report­
ed poisoning cases. Two year olds
alone accounted for 175 of the cases.
Relatively few cases were reported
for other age groups with the next READ ADVERTISING — IT PAYS.
largest being 28 cases for the 15 to
19 year olds.
A breakdown of the poisoning cases
by substance ingested shows medi­
cines were named most frequently,
435 times or 71 percent of the cases.
Aspirin alone was the offending sub­
stance in 216 of the cases. Other sub­
stances which were ingested included
household preparations, 37 cases;
pesticides, 29 cases, petroleum pro­
ducts, 21 cases; cosmetics, 17 cases;
plants, 17 cases; gasses, 12 cases;
paints, 22 cases; and miscellaneous
substances including fertilizers, 20
cases.
Parents of children under five
years of age are urged to exercise
special care in the storage and use
of the above named groups of sub­
stances, Dr. Wilcox emphasized.
When possible, a locked storage
cabinet should be used. Never tell a
bn
child that medicine is candy and ne­
ver take or give medicine in a dark
room. Always read the label to as­
sure that the proper medicine and
dosage is being given.
Poison victims should be taken im­
mediately to a physician or a hospi­
tal emergency clinic. If the poison
container is available, take it to the
physician as it may carry vital in­
formation such as the recommended
antidote or treatmnt, Dr. Wilcox
concluded.

Factors Told
Union Groups
Factors to be found in Ballot Meas­
ure No. 3 facing the voters on No­
vember 3 were explained to two
union groups meeting here Septem­
ber 12. The meeting of Lumber and
Sawmill Workers Local 2961 is sched­
uled for 10 a m. Local 2522, LSW,
will meet at 2 p.m. Both sessions will
be in the Labor Temple in St. Helens.
Don Cadwell, special representa­
tive of the Oregon AFL-CIO will em­
phasize the necessity of a maximum
registration of voters prior to October
3 so that they may take part in this
decision, November 3 when voters
will consider proposed amendments
to the state’s workmen’s compensa­
tion (job-injury) law.
Ballot Measure 3 would bring un­
der coverage for sustained income,
full medical and hospital services, &
rehabilitative measures almost all
employed persons in the state. This
means, in effect, that more than
200,000 workers not now covered by
state job-injury insurance would be
eligible for the same benefits in case
of an on-the-job injury as the more
than 400,000 whose employers now
insure them with the State Industrial
Accident commission.

QUESTION: Will there be many
youths trained under the Manpower
Development and Training Act of
1962 during the coming season?
ANSWER: During 1963, 24 percent
of trainees attending regular classes
were youths under 22 years of age.
Courses approved for this fall are
two special youth programs — 250
trainees in logger training at North
Bend and a multiple occupation pro­
gram at Eugene. The North Bend
ccurse for logging entry workers will
draw 250 trainees from various parts
of the state. The training will be giv­
en at Southwestern Oregon College.
A multiple occupation program at
Eugene will train up to 350 trainees
in occupations in short supply in
Lane county. The latter training will
be at Eugene Technical school. More
than 900 persons in Oregon are ex­
pected to be in training this fall un­
der MDTA.
