Newspaper Page TextEIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) ( UTOFTUCVUkODS By Jim Dirty Work Ai Th. Whit Hou. No, this is not about the Reds, but about another breed of propagandist that has been us ing the renewal of the White House for dirty work. The bunk that these babies have been peddling, with many a Washing ton correspondent and commen tator swallowing the bait, is that wood has failed in the structure of the home of the presidents. Even the standby bogey of ter mites was brought into the story, without any basis of fact what ever. "Smtar wood" was the or der of the day in a campaign to demolish the historic building which Is a symbol of great tradi tions and of history's mightiest events to the American people. There was no conscience and no patriotism In the proposal. All that was considered was the op- Eortunity afforded to deal lum er as a competitive building product, a body blow a body blow below the belt. But the lumber industry associ ations have engineers of their own, able at their profession and willing to fight. They pitched in and produced the facts of the trouble in the innards of the White House. They won support from neutral engineers of high est standing. Their good work means more than can be meas ured to every man who Is draw ing a paycheck from the lumber industry and is looking forward to a future in it for his children. These paychecks and futures depend on continuing good mar kets for wood. The Real Story The truth about the White House and its need for renewal was told in the November issue of "Civil Engineering," by M. E. Reynolds, commissioner of Bublic buildings, Washington, i. C., and members of the Soci ety of Civil Engineers. The story was simply told, so that even I could understand most of It. It Is a story of wood standing up under well-nigh unimaginable abuse. "It la a tribute to the tough ness of good timber that it has successfully withstood such abuse for so long," says Commis sioner Reynolds. Mr. Reynolds describes three major operations on the White House, beginning with the fire let by the British in 1812, and YouSa ve B( Ffqmg TOUTED SaveTime and Money Fartf art often til than l.l ctait rail plus Pullman.

In 1002, for example, a brick bearing wall that was a main support of the second story was taken out and 10-inch steel beams were sub stituted. The old wood girders were ruinously notched at the supporting ends to receive the beams. This left about 5 inches of the original 18-inch depth of the girder timbers to carry the load yes, 5 inches out of 18! Can you Imagine it? "How any timber could stand up for 45 years under such treat ment is hard to Imagine force of habit, perhaps," says Engi neer Reynolds. "No Indication of decay was noted in the timbers resting on the brick walls, nor was there any structural evi dence of termite Infestation." The article by the commissioner of public buildings in the na tional capital gives examples that might be made to cast dis credit on materials that compete with wood. The lumber industry association engineers are not us ing them as propaganda, how ever. They are gentlemen and scholars, only a little this side of the angels. Origin Of Wood Smearing Seems to me I've mentioned beore in this space how in 1926 I attended a New York gather ing of newspaper and advertis ing men and there heard the story of how the foremost "pub lic relations expert" of his day had earned a fee that would choke a sawmill hog by invent ing the wood smear as an Instru ment for wood's competitors. It was a mixture. One element was to propagan dize buyers of wood with the story that "the forests will soon be gone, so switch to other prod ucts now before you are forced into it." Another was the termite terror. Another was the fire fear. Another: "Wood won't last." There were numbers more. In 1926 the advice of the pub lic relations expert was working. It still is. Despite the fact that all the great losses of life and property in recent years from building fires have been in so called fireproof buildings, the fire fear propaganda is even snaked into building codes. The foresters of the lumber associa tions have been kicking the straw man of disappearing for ests into flinders. Now the tim ber engineers are fighting with fist and boot against the other slanders. Let's all help! Person Who Is Afraid Menially III, Scientist By Paul F. Ellis United Press Science Editor New Haven, Conn., Jan. 30 A Yale university scientist said todny that a person who is airaia of fnllure and refuses to accept Important responsibility prob ably is mentally ill. Dr. Leo W. Simmons, associate professor of sociology, said a person so "loaded down" with ambitions that cannot be ful filled is also in line to becom ing a mental case. A third type. he said, is the man with a fixed Idea that interferes with his rapacity to do the Jobs at hand. Many Forms "Mental illness takes many forms," he said, "but wastage of life and effort Is a common characteristic. "One of the very important lessons that came out of the war experience, is that most so-called normal persons will tend to break down under sufficiently I severe nnd prolonged stress and strains." Simmons said there are some I 700,000 patients in the hospitals who "arc suffering from mental disease, mental defects or epil epsy." "On any day a little over half of all the hospital beds, public and private, In this country are filled with mental patients," he st id. "It is estimated that at least 1,000,000 others are sick enough to need hospital care. Experts also clnim that probably 8.000, 000 more should be receiving same psychiatric guidance and treatment.' Mort Needed lie said that 10.000 additional trained psychiatrists are needed in the country.

New York city's Bronx zoo operates the biggest earthworm breeding farm in the world. The zoo's two duck-billed platypuses are the reason. They live on worms. Of Failure Declares said, psychiatrists' are out of reach of many persons who need I them. That is, they are located in or near a few hospitals or medical centers in large cities. "During the war," he said, "there was a necessary neglect of routine care of mental cases, and these have piled up. There are large numbers of ex-service men and women with 'unseen war wounds' who are now men tally or. emotionally disabled. There are more than a million chronic alcoholics, some devel oping within a setting of war stress." . The "miracle drugs" are con tributing indirectly to the in creasing number of mental cases, he said. The drugs are keeping alive more disabled persons who because of their longer life "will develop mental and emotional problems and need expert care."

Brakes won't stop you with a sure and gentle touch if the master cylinder needs more fluid, or if an air-bubble has worked itself into the line. These things, and more, should be checked to keep your Buick at its best. If that sounds like more than one thought to bear in mind just drive into our shop and tell the man, "LVBRICARE, please."
