IP(0!tpotrairirn "Many of us take better care of our cars than we do of our bodies," said Fred Lorish, M.D., speaking for Jackson County Public Health association Thursday noon. The doctor also warned that "you can"t trade your body in for a new model, like you do the family car." Dr. Lorish urged his listeners to go to the family physician for a yearly physical checkup, and described in considerable detail just what such a checkup should include. One woman remarked later that maybe Dr. Lorish should be telling her family physi cian" instead of her she thought said physician was the one who should be told what a complete physical checkup should in clude. When Mrs. Chester Guches, the association president, asked how many in the gathering had had a chest x-ray during the year, only about half of the hands went up. Not only that, but as each committee chairman reviewed the past year, she asked for sug eestions from those in the room and there was a remarkable similarity between the problems which were revealed by the questions. How can we interest more people in health, how can we find out what type of health program will attract people, how can we get more people to go for chest x-rays, how can we make people realize the seriousness of the dental health situation in Jackson county on and on went the questions all indicating that the main problem is always that of awakening citizens to a problem, and then getting action. Only one chairman, Mrs. A. C. Uridel of the sanitation com' mittee, thought people were aware of the problem studied by her group and now need only information on how to organize and act. Republican women almost solved the problem of how two objects could occupy tne same space wnen tney met Monday at the home of the Robert Keeneys. Mrs. K. invited the group to her home, thinking that about 50 women would want to come. Almost 100 did. Every sofa, chair, bench and footstool was in use, as well as the stairs and the floor. However everyone stayed to hear Mrs. E. A. Littrell and Mrs Phil Lowry talk about the recent legislature, and no one seemed to mind being crowded a little. Mrs. Littrell said Jackson county residents are "the letter writingest people in the state" and said other representatives whose desks were near the Littrell's on the floor of the House marveled at the stacks and stacks of mail on Mr. Littrell's desk. Mr. L. had promised himself to answer every letter and toward the end of the session had to hire a secretary for the secretary Mrs. Littrell. Mrs. Lowry said she and "her senator" kept up with the mail until the final two weeks and then with the fearful crush jof senate business, just gave up. Mrs. Lowry amused the guests by telling how senators on the tax committee, to which her husband was assigned, made such interesting doodles that she took to collecting and saving the papers on which they were drawn. One senator from Eastern Oregon always drew cows and when the discussion was pretty rugged, the cows cried tears. Another, listening to talk about "tax loopholes" drew a picture of a taxpayer crawling through a loophole. When they talked about funds for a new mental in stitution, one senator drew a picture of the building and then put each member of the committee in a room of it. Still another draw ing was of a "delinquent" county it showed a courthouse with a door for a-mouth guzzling from a tipped bottle. Not only was the program good, but the guests enjoyed see ing the Keeney's home, an interesting one which Mr;' K. remodel ed from a couple of old buildings. The gardeners present had a good time wandering around the .grounds, even though there was an Oregon mist falling, and others enjoyed seeing the hostess' large collection of glassware. Mrs. Joy Hills Gubser thinks American families should quit being ashamed that their bathtub is so old it has legs, or that the family car is 10 or 12 years old. She also thinks parents should learn how to say no when the right time comes, instead of let ting junior badger them into giving in because the parents are afraid to be called old-fashioned. Mrs. Gubser, assistant superintendent of the state department of education, talked for the annual meeting of Southern Oregon Child Guidance association Monday night. Speaking of some of the problems of teachers, Mrs. Gubser remarked that the state now requires that all teachers be trained in child psychology, and that it was about time, too. Mrs. Gubser can turn a sharp phrase. She said that in the olden days young people were deterred from wrongdoing by fear of going to hell and added that in this modern age, "you can't scare kids with that anymore they demand proof that you know what you're talking about." She said it is pretty hard to tell the differ ence between right and wrong sometimes and pointed out that children ask difficult questions, such as why are slot machines illegal and pari-mutuel betting is not.

(U.R) Spring wardrobes in the new synthetic fabrics need special care, Gladys Meloche, clothing specialist at the University of Wisconsin, says. Each material washes, dries, and irons differently. For that reason, she suggests you read the label in each garment to find out how to take care of it. Acrilan will generally wash easily in a machine, but the water temperature should be kept about 100 degrees and wash no mora than five minutes. It isn't necessary to put acrilan in a dryer. If you do, five min utes again is the time limit. Use a press cloth and a cool iron. Wash nylon the same way if the garment is well constructed. Drip dry and you'll need to do very little ironing. Sweaters and wool - like fab rics made of dynel can be wash' ed in 100 degree water by ma chine for two or three minutes Don't put them in the dryer or iron them. Coats made of dynel should be dry cleaned. Suits, blouses and sweaters made of dacron fabrics can go in the machine. Wash the same as dynel and drip dry or put them in the dryer for about five minutes. Press damp with a very cool iron, or dry thoroughly and use tne steam iron. Man Describes Traits For Good Secretary Chicago (U.R) A business executive has described a good secretary as a girl who never laughs except at herself or with her boss. And she should have a large streak of humility in her make up. . 1 Wilbert E. Scheer, personnel director of the Blue Shield or ganization, told what it takes to be a good secretary at a high school panel on secretarial work, "A private secretary is really a keeper of secrets," he said. "She earns the -title only when she has learned to exercise ini tiative, judgment,' imagination, and tact.

T. Gullickson, Portland, last Sunday afternoon at Red man hall.

Women Bank Officers Des Moines (U.R) Women bank offices are no longer oddi ties. The nation now has 8,500 wom en bank officers, Helen L. Rhinehart of Des Moines told a bankers convention here. "The tellers and stenograph ers of the war years are in many instances the cashiers and vice presidents of today and tomor row," she said. "This is logical since women spend 85 per cent of every con sumer dollar, pay 80 per cent of inheritance taxes, benefit from 80 per cent of the life in surance policies and inherit 70 per cent . of the estate left by men," she said.
