You and Your Hearing
Should the Hard-of-Hearing
Person Select His Own Fitting?
Many deafened individuals are
"sound starved" when they first
begin the use ot a hearing aid
and tend to turn up the volume
control too high. It is generally
advisable for this reason to limit
the volume available during the
first weeks of use of a hearing
aid by special adjustments or by
providing lower voltage batteries.
Hard of hearing persons suffer
ing from certain types cf deaf
ness become so accustomed to
sound that they tend, at first, to
prefer it and dislike a more cor
rective type of fitting.

lion's department stores did 7 per
cent more business last week than
they did a year earlier.
Wage rates art at record levels.
And there's an awful lot of money
in American savings accounts.
Counter-balancing these factors
were cutbacks in tome key indus
tries and further layoffs in others.
However, even where the outlook
waa poor, it could hardly be called
black.
The most tangible evidence that
business it slipping from its high
plateau waa provided in new lay
off announcements. Packard Mo
tor Car Co. announced it will I'oae
down auto assembly operationi on
Monday tor a week and furlou.1i
about 7.500 worken. It blamed ,
parte shortage. The Aluminum Co.
of America said it hat laid off 590
men in the past six weeks "to
meet changing economic condi
tions in the aluminum industry."
The Pennsylvania Railroad an
nounced that 600 to 700 heavy re
pair workers will be furloughed
because of a continued drop in
business. Chance Vought Aircraft
at Dallas said it planned to drop
1,000 employes immediately and
another 1.000 later because of a
cut back in Jet fighter production.
Hut at south Bend, Ind.. Stude-
baker Corp. canceled plans to lay
off 3.0GO men and shortened the
work week instead. The John Deere
tractor works at Waterloo, Iowa,
called back 500 because ol a "firm
ing up" in demand for tractors.
The chairman of U. S. Steel. Ben
jamin F. Fairless, said this week
that he is still optimistic about the
1954 business outlook, commenting:
"It won't be as good at 1953 but
still will be good."
But a note of warning was struck
by Harold B. Doraey, head of the
Argus Research Corp. of New York.
He aaid many executives are overly-complacent
about the business
outlook, assuming that prices of
their own products will maintain
present high levels despite ample
evidence of oversupply.

Weather Must Be
Watched by Drivers
Changing temperatures, plus
rain and snow, can be the down-'
fall of an unwary motorist, the I
state traffic safety division re
minded Friday.
With weather conditions in all
Oregon varying greatly, safety
men said drivers should remem
ber that temperature changes
present a real hazard to those
who do not continuously "get the
feel of the road."
Take the driver who starts out
on an icy road early in the morn
ing while its still quite cold. He
finds traction and stopping abil
ity fairly good. But as the sun
comes out, temperature rises, and
the ice becomes much more
treacherous. i
Studies reveal that at 20 miles
an hour when the temperature Is
zero, stopping distance on ice is
110 feet But when the mercury
rises to 32 degrees above zero,
stopping distance for the same
speed is 250 feet, a difference of
140 feet.
Safety men also warned that
ice or slippery spots can tome
times be found on bridges when
other sections of roadway are
bare. Unless a driver is aware of
this hazard, a bad skid is likely.
