ment campaign will have their
first report meeting of the cam

"Y" social hall, according to Dr.
G. A. Dierdorff, membership

co-chairmanship of Ray Johnson
and Robert Boyle, will review
results of the3drive thus far and
discuss any problems that have
- arisen, the membership chair
man said.
Dr. Dierdorff said that early
reporti indicate that the cam
paign coverage is good and that
the drive to increase Medford
"Y" membership by 600 should
be successful. He suggested, how
ever, that many interested per
sona will inadvertently be
missed. These people should call
in person at the YMCA or tele
phone Bob Jones, "Y" secretary.
Smoker-CensusSlated
Washington? (U.R) Government census takers will start
knocking at the doors of 25,000 householders a week from Mon-
ViQjr J 4illU VUk 11 V W lIJ uac anu ilVn
: It is understood that the results providing the families
answer the questions will be used in connection with research
into lung diseases, particularly lung cancer.
Dr. Robert W. Burgess, director of the Census Bureau, con-
- Iirmea oaiuraay mat uie sdiupie survey wiu ue tuuum;icu, dw
the request of the U. S. Public Health service, as part of the
Tegular monthly census survey of employment-unemployment.
The 25,000 householders are scattered over the nation in 230
ample survey areas representing every important type in cities,
suburbs, small towns, rural communities and farm areas.
A list of questions worked out by the Health Service and the
Census Bureau are designed to lead to an estimate of how many
Americans smoke, how many are heavy, moderate or light smok
ers, and how long they have been at it.
The survey also may yield other information such as what, if
any, difference there is in the smoking habits of city dwellers and
farm families. Whether the data collected will be adequate to make
such detailed comparisons is doubtful, officials said.

tional income "an , all time
low."
Hinging his address at the $50
a plate party affair oh troubles

publican party, Anderson , pic
tured the Democrats as standing
ready to measure up to leader

the nation as of greater import
ance than "good fortune to their
party."
He chided Republican Agricul
ture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson
for having "a passion" for get
ting into "hot water.

CONSTIPATED?
Here's news for people
who suffer needlessly
from irregularity
Many drug-type laxatives actu
ally irritate the bowels into ac
tion. But, this harsh purging
cannot correct constipation caused
by lack of food bulk. Kellogg's
All-Bran can.
Effective, natural relief
If your irregularity is due to lack
of sufficient bulk in your diet, try
All-Bran. All-Bran supplies the
natural laxative bulk you may re
quire. This nutritious, good-tasting
food is scientifically milled
whole wheat bran . . . nature's
best bulk-forming food in its most
effective and appetizing form.
Supplies vitamins, minerals!
And All-Bran is not just another
"bulk laxative." It is processed
in a way that retains body
building vitamins and minerals.
A half a cup of All-Bran supplies
the following: iron (29), phos
phorus (46), vitamin D (100),
plus essential B vitamins. Yet it
contains only 96 calories!
But remember, there is only one
All-Bran Kellogg's, the original.
It's been helping folks find natu
ral, comfortable regularity since
1916. Try it. If you aren't back
on schedule inside of 10 days with
All-Bran, you get double your
money back. That's a promise
from Kellogg's of Battle Creek,
Michigan.
