AUGUST 33. 1»3« GOVERNMENT GUARANTEES YOUR LOAN The National Housing program, whereby banks are guaranteed loans to home-owners for repairs, and remodel« ¡ng should result in increased business for the lumber In­ dustry if if goes over at all effectively, For that reason it should receive considerable support from the lumber com­ munities. For those whose income is sufficient to repay the notes lu three to five years it seems a wise measure to take advantage of the loan and make needed re,»airs to property. New roofs and paint as well as lumber re|iairs are essential to keep homes in shape. These loans are from the local banks' money and all that is asked is that you have an adequate regular income of at least five times the yearly payments and a good credit record in your community. When repairs and remodeling is done it is not only the sawmill but carpenters, plumbers and painters and mer­ chants as well who benefit by the increased business. This is one of the methods of the “New Deal” in providing em­ ployment and putting more money in circulation. TAXES TAKE ONE DO LI .Alt OUT OF FIVE Taxes in 1933 reached the all time high in this country of nine billion dollars or more than a billion dollars more than the nation spent for food. Taxes took 20 cents out of every income dollar and they are still going up. The na­ tions income was forty-five billions. More than half the federal government's revenue comes from five states—New York. North Carolina. Illinois, Pennsylvania and California. Other items of expenditure in the nation which ran high totals were: $7,650,000 3,600.000 3,600.000 2,925.000 2.160,000 Food ....... .

More than $80,000 has been allotted to Oregon higher learning institutions. FERA jobs will be provided, half of which will be for new students. The government wants more and more young people to continue in school rather than compete in private in­ dustry and business and indications are that the desired increase is going to take place. I^arge number of applica­ tions are now being received by the registrars of the col­ leges. In Oregon 600 students will receive this federal aid. It seems the Portland union longshoremen have agreed io arbitration but not to peaceful picketing. Beat-up gangs still Terrorize Portland and clubs and firearms are in con­ stant use. The public is getting pretty weary of this sort of thing. A good many think that the national guard should have made a thorough cleaning of the Portland docks be­ fore coming home. There are school districts in Lane county with tax val­ uations of $1000 a pupil and others with $100,000. Then we talk of equal taxation and millage limits. What we need is school taxation by county and state instead of by blocks bounded by imaginary lines. A Izmdon broker predicts an American stock market boom before the end of the year News reports, however, record the lowest selling in history. Those who believe in miracles might invest their money now. We have expected to hear that some enterprising young man has started a vulcanizing plant for rubber bath­ ing suits at some of the beac hes or swimming holes. Secretary Madam Perkins says strikes are a sign of better times. Perhaps we had better all go on strike. Surely that would be one grand time. The village sage says he can’t dance hut he gets a kick out of holding the ladies while they dance. FAMILY / ® % J D O C I OK O M N J O S E P n GAINES M.D. THIS MORNING A case of ' Infantile paralysis’’ has just left my office. The formidable disease of the spinal cord, pretty well known over the land because of the experience of our presi­ dent with the same affection. We known of his interest in the mineral spring in the south, where he goes occasionally for renewed treatment. My patient, a wife, aged 50, had the acute attack last January. Her home on the farm in Missouri. Her doctor, a skilled diagnostician, brought her through the acute stages with remarkable judgment. A cultist had diagnosed the case “neuritis,” which was vague,—decidedly inaugur­ ate; mistakes in this disease are often had to rectify after the harm is done. The good family doctor "got out of the case with all he could save.” The woman can hobble about a little, with as­ sistance. The febrile stage is gone. It is my business to restore the damaged system as safely and as fast as pos­ sible. We do not need medicines now, so much as we need warm baths and trained massage; these we shall give the good woman and it's going to take time. One thing that is positively dangerous here at this stage is, hurtful manipulation ut the spine. I shall not permit the masseuse to attempt to "adjust” the vertebrae. . . . .1 knew of a man in her condition who took three or four very painful spiiiul “treatments,” he never walked again! This woman has had inflammation of the spinal cord one of the great nerve centers of the human system. The inflammation has left the great nerve-trunk weakened and incapable; no amount of hammering on the bony structures can help us restore normal function. We want hydrother­ apy and skilled massage to restore. t I nt him qu stlonlugly. of smell tablet As yet Ih. i, "<'ollie Io ins.' said Pate, thickly, l.ul few summer visitors a few I' o|de were lu III. pa »Innately.
