SMITH, Chiropractic and Naturopathic Physician, 1500 Garden Valley Road, in the interest of public health and to help you understand the body function. Look for these informative articles every Saturday. The substance ordinarily spoken of as salt is a certain refined salt Sodium chloride, which we add to our food cither in cooking or at the table. The amount added is largely a matter of custom rather than of physiological need. Most of our foods contain considerable amounts of this substance in the nalur.nl slate, and so our diet would probably provide nearly sulficient of it lor the body needs if we did nut add any. Certain people such as the l-'skinms, add practically noin !-au lo ineir toon ana lite carnivor ous animals eat no salt as such, except that found in natural states at salt lu 'is, sea water etc. How ever, civilized man has been ac customed lo adding salt to his fond fur so many ccnturcs that most foods taste flat and unpalatable without additional salt. While We Shoillfl find it tn he reduced to unsaltct foods, there is no reason whv we could nut tram ourselves to prefer food wii't onlv a moderate amount of sail ailt.ed. Tins would ho an advan tage, since the excretion of a largo amount of unneeded salt places an unnecessary burden on the kid neys. The early formation of lik ing for less salted foods micht afeguard health in later life. Tite Trv.

When there has been excessive loss of salt from the body by profuse perspira tion as in heat prostration, small doses of salt are helpful in restor ing the body to normal condition, and hence in relieving symptoms of prostration. halt is not a fuel finxt, as It Is impossible for the body to oxidize it, but it is a normal constituent of the body and as such is needed small amounls to build tissue and to regulate bodv processes. While salt is a relatively harm less substance unless taken in ex cessive amounts, it may encour age both overeating and overdrink ing. Salt excites the taste buds and stimulates the appetite which is hardly of necessity in these days to the average person wuh an oversired rest for food. The bulk of the salts excreted leaves the bodv bv way of the kirinevs. When the kidneys fail to function well, salts may accumu late in the hlnod and tissues, hold ing back sufficient water to dilute them to their normal concentra tion in the tissues thus causing the bloating or edema which often ac companies kidney malfunction.

Sunday, exactly 20 years after President Roosevelt signed the or iginal Social Security law, it is estimated that the program will be returning $120,000 per month to about 2,400 qualified benefici aries under old age and survivors insurance in Douglas County. This was the report today from Dean O. Haley, district manager for the Social Security Adminis tration. The old age and survivors in surance program now covers par tially income lost through old age retirement and loss of income to family when the breadwinner has died. Amendments have broaden ed the program to one of family insurance for nine out of 10 pro ductive workers in the United Slates. Haley said that In 1955, about 18,000 workers in Douglas County will have earnings covered by the Old Age and Survivors Insurance program. Tracing a little history, Haley relates that Ben Lipscomb, de ceased, opened an office in Eu gene in July 1937 to serve south west Oregon. He had two clerks as helpers. Now the organization maintains offices in Eugene and Medford to serve the same terri tory." in Douglas County, a represent ative holds office hours regularly In Roseburg, Myrtle Creek and Reedsport. The latest innovation in the old age and survivors insurance pro gram is a provision wnicn Be came effective in July to provide what amounts to a waiver of premium lo those who become disabled and are not able to pro tect their benefit rights. It can be used to exclude periods of low earnings during his disability from the determination of his benefit rights. Detailed information from one recent month shows 2,215 people benefited from the old age and survivors insurance to the tune of $106,584. Spanish War Vet Will Make Plane Flight To Meet The annual reunion of the Span ish-American War's second Oregon Volunteer Infantry in Portland Sunday has attracted a native Douglas County man to make his first round-trip airline ride to that city.

' Carl Vern Smith Is Given Another Chance By Judge A 23-year-old man, Carl Vern Smith, was granted a new lease on life in circuit court Friday when Judge Carl E. Wimberly granted him probation and a chance to vis it his father, who is critically ill in Colorado. Smith was given a two-pear pris on sentence after he pleaded gumy to taking and using an automobile without permission. After lie pleaded guilty to a dis trict attorney's information, Smith was granted probation despite tne fact he once before violated pro bation and was sent to the peniten tiary. Probation had been asked by at torney Robert G. Davis, appointed to represent Smith. Davis blamed Smith's present and past difficul ties on drinking. Smith told the judge he believes he can stay away from liquor. He said he didn't realize what it fine penitentiary) was going to be like or he wouldn't have violated pro bation in 1952 on a one-year term for bad checks. The crime to which he pleaded guilty Friday occurred on July when Smith and another young man allegedly took a station wag on belonging to -Mel M. Hanna. lo cal labor official near the Labor Temple in Roseburg. It was brought out that Hanna had left the keys in the auto. Dep Disl. Atty. lion n. Sanders ex plained that Hanna had gone out to his car to leave, then had been delayed by a call in his office. Judge Wimberly noted that "He probably will not leave his keys in his car again." But the judge warned the defendant that the fact keys are left in a car "doesn't authorize you to take it." The young men started driving the vehicle to Suthcrlin, but were apprehended by state police near Winchester. Thev did not intend to permanently deprive Hanna of his car, Davis stated. Smith, who was picked up loi drunkenness the first time when only 15, said they had been drink ing heavily that day. If he can be supervised and kept from drinking, he "can find a use ful place in our society," Davis told the court. Judge Wimberly said Smith could have one more chance, and gave permission for him to visit his father at Grand Junction, if the visit is approved by Jake Lcicht, probation officer.

The Holts, who operate a 353 acre farm near Creswell, have six children of their own and are send ing money and clothing to 29 other Korean orphans. The special legis lation, introduced by Rep. Edith Green (D-Ore) and guided through Consress by the whole Oregon del egation, authorizes legal entry into the U. S. of the four boys and four girls the Holts adopted. Holt went to Korea not long ago to arrange the trip, and was to leave as soon as the bill was signed. The Korean children range in age from six months to three years. Rep. Green said she had received a letter from one of Holt's own daughters, saying: "We are waiting for our brothers and sisters to come home. We have eight cribs with their names paint ed on them." Besides his farm, Holt has an interest in a lumber mill and owns land on the Oregon coast. Mrs. Green described him as "very well situated financially." Governors Urge Highways, Bypass Payment Methods By JACK BELL CHICAGO 11 The annual Gov ernors' Conference has checked to Consress the job of finding a way to finance a vast new highway build'ng program it called "vital to the nation's economy and de fense." Entertained at the annual all star football game last night, the Governors scattered to their states after electing Washington's Repub lican Gov. Arthur B. Langlie as chairman and picking Atlantic City, N. J. as the site for next year's session. In a windup business meeting the governors approved a rcsolu t;on endorsing the "objectives" of President Eisenhower's super high way building program. But on the suggestion of Gov. Averell Harriman of New York, they cut out of the resolution words that might have been interpreted as aoprovlng Eisenhower's proposal of financing this long range pro gram. The governors also avoided men tion of possible tax increases to fi nance such a program, but they said the Federal Government ought to put back into roads "far more" than the present 875 mill:on dol ars allotted to that purpose out of 214 billions raised by U.S. levies on highway users.

Parktr OREGON STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION STATE HIGHWAY BUILDING SALEM, OREGON examples of the good the blood recruitment program was doing. But meantime, the shortage of blood is critical again as the an nouncement was made that the Red Cross bloodmobile would be in Douglas County next week. It will stop in Roseburg Wed-' nesday and Thursday, Aug. 17 and 18, at the Elks Ballroom. Friday it will be at Rebekah Hall in Suthcrlin. The bloodmobile. will be accepting donors from 3 to 7 p.m. daily. Stressing the critical shortage of blood, Mrs. Brittell said last year 1,500 pints were colbcled in Douglas County, and at the same time, 1,260 pints were used in four hospitals Mercy, Douglas Community, Myrtle Creek and Forest Glen. Other pints of the remaining 240 were used in Port land hospitals. This shortage, she said, does not exist only in local hospitals, but also in the 84 hospitals partic ipating in the program in the state. Through the program, par ticipating hospitals are able to pro vide blood to patients free of charge, except for an adminis trative fee. The quota for Douglas County has been set at 380 pints. This means 150 pints a day at Hose burg and 80 pints at Sutherlin. Beside the local hospitals, Doug las County residents undergoing surgery in Portland hospitals have drawn on the blood bank, in each case, blood was a necessary factor in performing the surgery. One of these was Mrs. Cheatwood. "The operation could not have been accomplished had it not been for the whole blood made avail able to the Red Cross blood cen ter in Portland," Mrs. Cheatwood said gratefully. Two other cases involved blood made available through Douglas County collections. Just last week, Ward Cumirrtngs of Roseburg had surgery in the Portland Veterans Hospital, and blood was demanded. Linda Strickling. 15-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Homer Strickling of Roseburg, had surgery at Good Samaritan Hospital and used two pints of blood. Mrs. Strickling said: "It was such a relief to know that Linda had all the blood she needed because of the Red Cross program." LOCAL NEWS Enjoy Weekand Mr. and Mrs. 0. D. Gosnell, Mr. and Mrs. D.
