Figures obtained in a. survey by the Jackson
County Chamber of Commerce reveal the growing
importance of Medford as a medical center and the
large number of persons now coming to this city
from outside Jackson ' county - for ; treatment, mostly
at the hands of specialists. . . i t r .
Although the survey. did not include reports from
all the medical men here some of them being too
busy to furnish the data requested the chamber
was able to gather enough information to gain a
pretty good idea of the over-all situation.
THE twelve specialists and; seven general prac-
titionere who turned in figues showed their out-of-county
.patients are coming mostly from Josephine,
Klamath, Curry, Douglas, Coos .and Lake counties in
Oregon, and Siskiyou, Del Norte and Modoc counties
in California; Although many patients ' come from
more distant -points, according to hospital; records
here, no estimate as to the numb erN was made by the
doctors. . : c?&jtv? ' "7 .
Of the Oregon counties, Josephine furnishes the
greatest- number,: the total being estimated at 720
annually, while most of the Californians come from
Siskiyou i county, the annual estimated total from
there being 617. From the nine' counties mentioned
the doctors estimate' a total of 2,776 patients receiv
ing attention here, 2,344 of the number being treated
by specialists. . :.f v , . . r.:
i Of course, many of , the patients consult their
doctor more than once a year, many find it neces
sary to remain in the city at least overnight on each
visit and some are hospitalized for indefinite stays.
F THE dentists surveyed, five specialists and eight
rgeneral practitioners reported 939 patients, esti
mated, the majority coming from Josephine and
Siskiyou counties.
Osteopathic specialists to the number of four and
two general practitioners in that branch of healing
reported 551 patients coming to them annually from
out of the county, the largest percentage from Jose
phine county. Of the osteopathic 'patients an esti
mated ten per cent remain at least overnight.
. ' Four optometrists reported : 6J.4 patients, 258 of
them coming from Josepnine county and the remain
der being pretty evenly -divided among the eight
counties. ,

11HEN it is considered that the total number of pa
T tients 4,880 accounted for by- the 'compara
tively -small number of medical men reporting is only
a fraction of the out-of-couhty visitors, it is easy to be

Wisconsin Knows How
In Wisconsin they not only produce huge quanti
ties of milk and milk products, they go to great lengths
to promote consumption of their output.
fVNE of the most elaborate promotional projects to
be undertaken recently is a dairy caravan which
will visit 22 cities in the state starting February 1.
Sponsored b the University of Wisconsin extension
service and the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation,
five truck loads of. exhibits and a crew of twenty
dairy specialists will take, to the highways to give
consumers the story of milk from, cow to kitchen
table.
o KTheme of the traveling show will be, "The Great
est Food on Earth," and a quarter of a million people
are expected to see the displays and hear the special
ists. . - .- . . ;
Purpose of the caravan is to carry to the consumer
all the latest facts on milk and dairy products; mod
ern developments on the farm and, in dairy, plants
which safeguard the quality of milk ; means ' of . dis
tinguishing grades and labels ; methods of merchan
dising milk products; and the economic importance
of the dairy industry. t -

TOTAL cost of the exhibits, exclusive of the labor
L which was donated by sponsors and local volun
teers, is between $16,000 and $20,000.
The Wisconsin dairy industry, will undoubtedly
profit from the project, modest though the cost may
be, for it is a sensible means of ecquainting the pub
lic with the benefits to be derived from generous use
of-dairy products., Too bad the national dairy indust
ry doesn't use some of its advertising money as wise
ly, instead of spending fabulous sum hiring radio
comedians to tell bum jokes. E.C.F.
, Siskiyou Stockpile Hope Dampened
The hope of northern Calif ornians that a chrome
stockpile might be established at Yreka received a
setback last week when Congressman Clair Engle in
formed the Yreka Chamber of Commerce that offic
ials of the government's emergency procurement ser
vice are against the plan.
THE Siskiyou county board of supervisors and Yre-
ka chamber had recommended that the federal
government set up a stockpile.in the county because

Babson Business Worries
By ROGER W. BABSON
, Babson Park, r Mass. ; (Special
To Mail Tribune). An article
in Reader's Digest for January
by J. D. Rat
cliff causes
me to ' write
on a subject
which has
tempted me
for some time.
After 40
years, i during
which ' I have
studied com
pany earnings
Soger W. BafeMM
I am convinced that a definite
relationship exists between the
earnings of a corporation and
the health of its officials. Most
cases which I have studied '-. to
ascertain the reason for a com
pany's declining business in a
growing industry have shown
the answer to be in the failing
health of the president or of the
sales manager or of some other
top official. - ; v ; - f j
A man may be .able to go to
the office each day and put in
his eight hours; he may answer
his mail and : preside at all Re
quired nieetings; ; but he may
have no ep or zest lor doing
any ' extra work: Companies
which do not go ahead by ex
tending their; lines or their ter
ritories are going backward.
This is very likely to be true of
a company: whose ; top official
is not in A-l health.
Stress and Strain -Cause
of Poor Health
According to the above-mentioned
article, the basic cause of
most illness is&stress and strain.
The doctors talk, about bacteria,
viruses, high blood pressure,
weak hearts, etc.; but the real
cause is worry. The average
businessman must drive himself
all day and go out with his wife
or associates every night. The re
sult is that without sleeping pills
and : aspirin many " concerns
would be obliged to close up. ;
Investors ask me ' how r it is
that the stock .of one concern
listed pri the Big Board hasNbeen
constantly , climbing each month
the past year, while. that of an
other in the same. industry has
not moved a point. The answer
could probably be" found by any
doctor permitted to diagnose the
head men. Some day, company
directors.. who - now - spend so
freely, for financial aduits will
be . willing v to submit to their
stockholders annual health re
ports, on all their ; officials.-.; I
forecast that this will be the day

Clarification of

By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Fortign Analyst
The week's good and bad
news on the international bal
ance sheet: '

- I . The Site nhower admini
stration clarified the line , along
which it is prepared to fight if
necessary to defend the Chinese
N a t i o n alist
stronghold of
Formosa from
Chinese

tack.. For
months there
had been a
cloudy sort of
.in-between
area the
small . islands
which. the Na-
Chmrles MeCinn uonaiisu noia
immediately off the; mainland.
The President intends to protect
Formosa and the neighboring
Pescadores Islands, and also to
use the United States 7th Fleet
and United States Air Force
planes to cover" the evacuation
of Nationalist troops from the
off-shore islands. Some concern
was expressed in Congress that
there was a risk of big-scale war
in the President! action in ask
ing congressional authority - to
use the armed forces against the
Reds if necessary. But Mr. Eisen
hower feels that the threat of
war already existed" because of
Communist belligerence and
that a firm stand may prevent
rather than cause' war.
, 2. The revolt f in Costa Rica
ended when the remnants of the
defeated Tebels fled across the
frontier into Nicaragua. It was
a small but dangerous outbreak,
which could have caused war be
tween Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
Nicaragua was accused of shel
tering and arming the rebels'.
President' Anastasio rSomoza of
Nicaragua threatened war if
Costa Rican troops pursued the
rebels across the border.

Believes in Work
of Accountants
' Of course, I believe in the
work of accountants; but has not
much of this work become so
routine and late that neither
directors nor stockholders give
much thought to adults? As a re
sult, accountants are coming to
be classed as "morticians." For
mal audits can become mere
"autopsies." I forecast that a
great change is ' coming in this
connection. ,'
I believe in the importance
of studying figures; but:; I am
sure that . the . condition of the
"two-legged" figures of a man
agement are far more important
to the , stockholders than? the
'mathematical" figures. Some
day there win ; ; be a great
awakening" along these ' lines.
Men will be retired and: pen
sioned according to their, phy
sical condition, rather , than sim
ply according to their age. In
cidentally , I believe President
Eisenhower's " interest in better
health could ; result in greater
earnings for most companies and
better wages for many . em
ployees. Should Close Useless
Bureaus, Commissions
; But the President should not
be content to talk about health.
Why not go to the root of the
difficulty and talk about "stress"
as does the author of this Read
er's Digest article? Instead : of
spending , billions of dollar's
opening, new hospitals, the Pres
ident could solve, the problem by
closing scores of useless Bureaus
and Commissions, These are
primarily the cause of the stress
and worry which are ; bringing
about the breakdown of execu
tives, foreman, and especiaUy
employees being paid by "piece
work." .
Did you ever think why Jesus
has been called "The Great Phy
sician?" Have, you noticed how
very little is written in the Bible
about illnesses? ; Very . few ac
counts of Jesus' followers indi
cate that they died of any dis
ease. Certainly if they were not
martyred they lived to a very
old age. The answer may be that
they followed Jesus' constant
teaching not to be too anxious
for the things which the world
seeks.' Jesus taught that - stress
and worry are futile. Even 1500
years before that, Moses , gave
some good health advice in the
Tenth Commandment. See Exo-

' A word of appreciation for
Eugene Burns and his splendid
Mail Tribune;; article on the
fallacy that "nature Isjn a con
stant state of warfare," and
other a bsurdities so long
preached by scientists and well
nigh universaUy accepted. As an
amateur ecologist and conserva
tionist, I have often urged the
idea that nature is above all
else a cooperative affair. Am
glad to find at least one profes
sional naturalist who subscribes
to this belief, and condemns the
ancient "law of tooth and claw."
Anyone who studies the inter
relations between " plants and
animals and their environments,
with real understanding, cannot
fail to see the cooperation exist
ing among aU natural species,
flora as weU as fauna. : Preop
tion? Certainly. ' But ordinary,
natural predation is beneficial
to aU species. Only when the
human, with his unnatural lust
for destruction, enters the pic
ture. ; do we find wholesale
slaughter and killing for the
sake of killing itself. with con
sequences only now becoming
known.
Our . education in real appre
ciation of nature and its won
ders is not only neglected it is
almost non-existent, while real
understanding of nature among
scientists is practicaUy nil in
their urge to exploit it. .'.

WASHINGTON sees EVERY
THING through nolitical
glasses. ' --
For example:
A Washington dispatch says
that President Eisenhower's For
mosa declaration "may have
provided a foreign policy issue
for the 1958 Presidential cam
paign." riTHIS.fa-the reasoning:
Some Republicans, including
GOP Senator Capehart of In
diana, are saying that the Eisen
hower statement ushers in a new
era in foreign policy by asking
Congress to share responsibility
now; for action the President
may take in . the future. These
Republicans inainuatasthat in the
past Democratic Presidents have
rushed the . country into situa
tions that made war inevitable
thus by-passing the congress.
Some Democrats are indicat
ing that they believe President
Eisenhower fa trying to put the
Democrats out on a political
limb by asking them in advance
to share responsibility for what
could result in war.

"Brokers attributed the der

SO MUCH for the grain mar
kets which, historically,

which tend historically to DE
