At the same time, the present
Depot St crossing, which provides
a rOcky-rOad over the tracks, will
be closed.
The need Of a second railroad
crossing has been expressed for a
long time since the only adequate
crossing is at Market St. the main
east-west artery and there is often
pile-up and congestion
The subject of parking in town
also occupied much of the atten-
ton of the members as has been
the case at each of these weekly

not only the customary central

space also for the daily influx of
county workers and those flocking

Health and Sofefy Tips

The swimming and boating sea-
son is at its peak. Swimming and
boating are lots of fun. But these
summer pastimes. can turn quickly
from family fun to stark tragedy.
1t is particularly important in
the summer to know how to give
artificial respiration to the swim
mer who sinks. The victims life
may depend on quick and educated
action. Few people can survive
more than six minutes without OK
ygen and many would be dead in
four minutes.
The two most commonly used
methods of artificial respiration
are mouth-to-mouth breathing and
the back-pressure arm-lift tech
nique, according to an article in
the August issue of TODAY'S
HEALTH, the magazine of the A
merican Medical Association.
The mouth-to-mOuth method:
Lay the victim flat on his back
and tilt his head backward Hold
his jaw forward Take a deep
breath Seal your mouth around
the victims mouth. Blow into his
lungs. Stop blowing when you see
his chest expand. Listen to him ex-
hale while you inhale. Repeat the
cycle 20 times minute.
The back pressure arm lift
method: Lay victim face down
hands under cheeks. Turn his face
to one side so nose and mouth
are exposed. Place your hands on
the victims back, thumbs almost
touching and fingers spread. The
base of your palms should be just
below his shoulder blades. Keeping

Goldendale, Wash

Dear P.D.:
The world mourns the loss of
truly great humanitarian with
the death of DR.. Dooley. Though
his years were few, he lived
every day of his life to relieve
human suffering, and regard
less of the color of ones skin,
he knew all blood runs red.
Though DR.. Dooley worked and
lived midst ignorance, cruelty,
filth, squalor, hunger and all
manner of suffering, he knew
great happiness and kept his
sense of humor because he was
doing all in his power to relieve
these conditions.
Many people are asking,
"How can l find contentment
and happiness? have wealth
and possessions, I have this, !
have that, I, I, I. Unhappy peo-
pie are too pre-occupied with
themselves; they don't know the
Joy of usefulness, they can't give
of themselves. Helping the less
fortunate makes one feel neces-
sary, that way he is helping
himself to contentment. Steve

When IT was learned early
last year that the state sOver-
eighty committee (watch dog
of the state to protect "our
way of life") had given a
grant of $4,000 to the citizens
councils, there were a few
voices of protest heard in the
state; however, on the whole,
the voices were not too UNI
like that of the turtle.
In December of last year it
was learned that the citizens
councils were getting, and are
to get, $4,000 each month in
state funds for the next two
years. We pr u m e that
means until the next regu-
lar meeting of the legislature,
in 1862. (At which time, we'd
guess the amount will be in
creased.) A few protests were
again made, to the effect that
state money should not be
used to finance a private or
ganization.
We regret the short
sightedness of our citizens
who saw fit to make such
protests; little do they realize
what they're getting for their
tax dollar. You see, we now
know, at least, in part, what
we are getting, and we are
prepared to state that it is,
absolutely, with out question,
the best for less.
In December of 1860 Mrs.
Sara Nc Cork lie, Director
Woman's Division and Youth
Activities Of the citizens cOun-
ellis Of Mississippi, Inc, made
a monthly report to the cOun-
ellis. The report was mailed
out to members Of the State
Legislature, and a copy fell
into our hands and, needless
to say, we were fascinated to
know that we were taking
part, by virtue Of our taxes,
in such outstanding, impOr-
tant, even glorious work as is
being done by the lady. { In
cidentally, a list Of ''Source
Material For Speakers on
Subversion In Religion" was
