Dear Sir:
I believe the Board of Direc
tors of the Valley Presbyterian
Hospital should be thanked for
the work they have gone to- in
making available in mimeograph
form copies of their annual re
port well in advance of their an
nual meeting. Considerable study
certainly went into the financial
section, since it is much more
than just an annual statement
which is so difficult for an aver
age person to read. Instead this
financial report is broken down
in a form that we can all under
stand. Therefore, I desire to
thank those members of the board
of directors responsible for this
splendid report.
Sincerely,
WINSTON M. LAUGHLIN
Sincerely,
Seek Second
Judge for
Third Division
In commencing hearings this
week on a number of bills call
ing for creation of additional
i judgeships throughout the coun
try, the House Judiciary Commit
tee took testimony on Delegate
Bartlett’s bill to provide for a
! second district judge in Alaska’s
| Third Judicial Division which
hate been described by Chief
Judge John Briggs, Jr., of the
l United States Court of Appeals*
for the Third Circuit, as “the most
heavily burdened district in the
entire judicial system.”
The Alaska bill has the strong
endorsement of the Administra
tive Office of the United States
Courts and the Judicial Confer
ence. “Nowhere else in the Unit
ed States,” Chief Judge William
Denman of the Ninth Circuit
Court of Appeals wrote Chairman
Celler from San Francisco, “are
federal litigants more denied
justice by delays, nor as insur
mountable a burden placed on a
; single judge, as in this court.”
Delegate Bartlett and others
pointed out that since 1947 the
civil business of the Third Divi
sion has almost tripled from 436
cases commenced in that year to
1,147 in the 1955 fiscal year. Crim
inal cases commenced increased
from 65 nine years ago to 190 in
Olympia
...with pleasure!
Famous for flavor . . . bright,
sparkling Olympia hits the
refreshment mark for millions of
discriminating westerners.

We salute ine Boy Scouts of
America on its 46lh birthday, now
being observed during Boy Scout
Week, February 6 to 12.
Scouting is a program for all
boys everywhere. It is successful
in the widest rural areas and in
the most congested cities. It pos
sesses an inherent appeal for the
healthy, vigorous, normal Am
erican youth and also offers fields
of achievement for the handicap
ped. _
It has often been said that a
boy can always find something to
do. It is when he finds some
thing to do that does not mea
sure up to reasonable standards
that he may get in trouble.
Scouting offers a steadying hand
that often tips the scales away
from delinquency.
Scouting has three program
parts to meet the needs of boys
of different ages levels.
Over one millirn families, to
gether with their eight-to-ten
year-old-sons participate in Cub
Scouting ,said to be America’s
largest and most dynamic parent
and-boy program. Today there
are 1,430,000 Cub Scouts in 36,
000 Cub packs.
Boy Scouting provides for elev
en-, twelve-, and thirteen-year
old boys an outdoor program that
helps them grow in character and
citizenship. Today 1,160,000 Boy
Scouts are active in 54,000 troops.
Exploring serves the boy of
fourteen and over with a rich
program filled with high adven
ture and opportunities to practice
good citizenship. Today 440,000
Explorers are members of 14,000
Explorer Units or are Explorers
in Boy Scout troops.
Many hands join to bring
Scouting to these 2,030,000 boys
955, with cases constantly mount, i
mg. -- « *#
ung men. in addition to
- 070,000 adult volunteers
10 provide the leadership for
: there are 68,000 sponsoring
* itutions that actually operate
the 104,000 Scouting units. This
roll of institutions sponsoring
Scout units really represents
democracy in action. They repre
sent the religious, civic, educa
tional, and veterans organizations
of one nation.
Our readers will wish to join
us in saying, “Happy Birthday,
Boy Scouts!”

Ford give it a distinctive
sports-car flair. Ford’s orna
mentation gives it a person
ality—entirely apart from cars
that strive to look alike! And
inside the new Fords, you find
sharply-defined beauty that’s
a perfect complement to
exterior styling.

offer you the extra protection
of Lifeguard Design. It’s a
whole new family of safety
features which are designed to

See for yourself why Ford is
worth more when you buy
worth more when you sell!
