A Square Deal for the
Crippled Soldier

When the crippled soldier from the 'front.'
the government will provide for him, in addition
medical care special training for selfsupport.
But whether this will really put him back on his feet
depends on what the public does to help hinder.
In the past the attitude of the public has been
greater handicap to the cripple than his physical dis
ability. People have assumed him to be helpless Too
often, they have persuaded him to become so.
For the disabled soldier there has been "hero-wor-
ship; for the civilian cripple there has been futile kind
of sympathy. Both do the cripple harm than good
All the cripple needs is the kind of job he is fitted
for and perhaps little training in preparation for it.
There are hundreds of seriously crippled men hold
ing down jobs of importance. Other cripples can do
likewise, if given the chance
Idleness is the calamity hard to be borne. Your
service to the crippled man, therefore, is to find for him
good busy job, and encourage him to tackle it.
Demand of the cripple that he get back in the work of
the world and You will find him only too ready to do so
For the cripple who is occupied is, in truth, no
longer handicapped.
Can the crippled sodier-or the industrial cripple as
.well-count on you true and sensible friend?

TOY BANK CONTENTS
SHOULD BE EAIPTIED

Enough small coins should be
shaken out of the toy banks in this
country to relieve the present strin-
gency in pennies, nickels and dimes
stringency that is keeping the
United States mints working "a hours
every day, including Sunday, turning
out change" The passage of the
war revenue bill has created an enor-
nous demand for the smaller coins,
particularly pennies and the sugges-
tion that children's banks be requisi-
toned to relieve conditions comes
from Raymond T. Baker, director of
the mint. lir. Baker argues that chill
dren's savings invested inwar savings
stamps will be of greater value to the
child than tied up in bank, because
IL will be drawing interest and releas-
ing of the coins for circulation will
be of great value to the government.
Millions and millions OF dollars in
minor coins" says Mr.. Baker, ARE
now idle in toy banks, coin savers and
other receptacles, used chiefly by
children in accumulating savings.
The saving of small coins is habit
of thrift by no means reprehensihle,
but truer method of accomplishing
thrift and at the same time aiding
the United States government, has
been provided through the issuance
of thrift stamps and war savings
stamps" Twenty-Five cents will start
a savings account with Uncle Sam,
and the editor will be glad to explain
to you the details of the plan.

Fire Loss In Year
Is Over $4,000

Statistics recently compiled show
that the local forest office last sea-
son extinguished ITS forest fires, of
which 142 we're in Jackson county.
These Jackson county fires covered
total of 1880 acres, and destroyed
19, 9,S73,000 feet of timber valued at
S10,073. The total amount expended
in fire fighting by the forest service
was $44,277, of which s9S,O4O was
spent in Jackson county.
The causes of the 142 fires occur
ring on the national forest in Jack
son are given as follows: Lightning,
70; incendiary, 25; brush burning,
2; campers, 13; unknown, 23; mis-
cellaneous, 8. These figures do not
include fires handled by the Jackson
County Fire Patrol Association, al
though the forest service and the as
sociation co-operated on some fires
included in these figures.
1t is interesting to note that 2S per
cent of the number of fires we're
caused by incendary, brush burning
and campers, largely preventable
causes, while II per cent of the total
are charged to incendiarism, a purely
criminal cause. These proportions
would undoubtedly be increased were
all the causes of the unknown" and
miscellaneous" declared.
