Is That So? By Eugene Bum Ranger-Naturalist Copenhagen, With SAS Quite naturally, one of the first things I did was to visit the zoo a 30-cent taxi ride from the heart of the city. In com pany with two directors, I saw a splendid collection of animals particularly the birds, and not to be forgotten two musk oxen, as far as I know, the only two In captivity. Like many of the other ani mals in the zoo, they were gen tie and I had the pleasure of walking into the enclosure and patting them. Patting musk oxen! During our lunch at the zoo restaurant, within the grounds, I complimented Svend Ander j sen and Dr. Holgar Poulsen Slot Machine Charge Dropped at Oregon City Oregon City (U.R) A charge of illegal possession of slot ma chines against John Domenico, Portland, was dismissed for the third time here this week In dis trict court. Judge Pro-tem Jack Caldwell dismissed the charge against the operator of the Castle night club because there was insufficient evidence of the element of chance In operation of the ma- ' chines.

Considering the old, restricted quarters, this is no mean feat to bring off. They in turn told me how they kept their animals looking so alert and healthy, something I am sure any person with a pet will want to know. Over our first course of smoked salmon, I asked: "How are you able to be on such good terms with your animals? For example, walking inside the en closure with the musk oxen?" "Oh that's easy," said Mr. An dersen. "You see, I make it a point to come to see them just as often as I can. Every day if possible. And on schedule. You see, animals have very definite patterns of behavior. They are rather punctilious because they have a time sense, a promptness hard to explain. And, of course, our men feed them on time, each day. That is important because it gives them a sense of security and well-being, trite as these phrases may sound, and with it, a regular schedule aids their digestion." Healthy Diet Planned "But a good share must be due to the kind of food?" I put in. "Your diet must be exceptional ly good." "Yes, we think so," said Dr. Poulsen, "we plan a diet that is healthy or should I say that will not harm them. And, if we can, we try to counteract some of the terrible things good mean ing people insist upon feeding animals. You see, confined ani mals are worse than children, much worse: they eat far too ID) You Hflave A irievaimce DDocitor? Patients who complain to their friends about the way their doctors treat them have a better place to take their complaints. This is a special grievance committee, which Is part of the Jackson County Medical Society. The committee was organized some years ago by the Medical Society to hear patients' com plaints regarding physicians' services or fees. It provides for fair hearings for BOTH patients and physicians whenever the patient and doctor are unable mutually to resolve their disagreement Many complaints brought before -the committee stem from misunderstandings which arise when a ohvsician neglects to explain fully, in advance, the type of treatment reauired or the cost of the medical services rendered. , The medical profession has for its prime ob jective service to humanity. Reward or financial gain should be a subordinate consideration. That is the first provision In our code of medical ethics. We mean what we say in that provision. We want you to have the finest medical care In the world, regardless of your ability to pay. Our mediation or grievance committee helps the medical profession to give you the best possi ble care by: 1. Offering an efficient way of handling pa tient complaints. 2. Protecting physicians from unjustified criticism. 3. Demonstrating to the community that doc tors have their patients welfare at heart. This committee suggest that you tell your doe tor when a fee, which may be reasonable for oth ers, is more than you can Tay without depriving yourself or vour family of the other necessities of life. Franklv and honestly discuss your situation with your doctor in advance. Don't put off ex plaining your circumstances until after you re ceive the doctor's bill. It isn't fair to either of you. Doctors are anxious that no real grievances go unadjusted. Some of the complaints made to the commit tee have been entirely justified. The committee, in these cases, has recommended to the dofor involved tht oroper adjustments be made. The maioHty of the comola'ints have been settled amiably between the doctor and natient. and did not require the further services of the committee. The committee has had very little business, and. frankly, we hope it continues that way. Nevertheless, we want the public to know that we. as a orofession. are anxious to cooperate in rendering the finest medical care, and in pre venting dissatisfaction. If you feel you have a legitimate corrrolaint, you may write to the Jackson County Medical Society, Dr. Earl Lawson. Secretary, 406 Medical Center Building, Medford. Oregon. JACKSON COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY much and much of the food is definitely bad for them. "What is the best food?" "Naturally, that varies with the species. But the closer the food comes to the natural food in their own habitat, the better. You noticed the deer, didn't you?" asked Dr. Poulsen. "They love to eat tips and shoots of birch trees." "What would you say would be the best diet for home-grown pets?" "Again, it should approximate as closely as possible the natural foods the animals would eat normally. "For example a friend of mine, when he goes into the woods always takes with him a shopping bag and brings back berries, acorns, pine cones, stag horn lichens whatever is na tural and handy. But as for me, I like to carry apples, raisins, peanuts, carrots and flower seeds for the animals. Each of these is good, in moderation, for the right animal." "Y o u mentioned harmful foods," I said directing the ques tion at Dr. Paulsen. Vary with Each Animal "Yes, there are many. But they vary witiueach animal. But really, most processed food is bad, including candy, chocolate cookies, and bread. In a wild stomach, they simply don't seem to digest properly. And no un cooked food. That swells in their stomachs and may cause death." "While walking among your animals, I noticed that you kept up a steady flow of conversation and no nonsense mixed with It," I told Mr. Andersen. "Yes, I talk a great deal with my animals to reassure them and I talk sense because I think it gets the best response. I am not suggesting," he hastened to explain, "that animals under stand words. They don't. But from the words, I think they can determine the tone, and the tone if it is within the particu lar animal's range of hearing is comprehensible." "I noticed that you moved slowly." "Yes," said Mr. Andersen, "movements around animals should always be slow and re laxed. You'll notice I stroll I don't stride. I also try to avoid moving my hands quickly. For example, if I were to slap a mos quito, that would alarm them. If I'd brush the dust off my trousers, like this, particularly with small animals, or even with big ones, the fast motion would alarm them." . I "Then, basically, there is a technique in handling pets which helps keep animals healthy, besides, proper diet, cleanliness ..." "No, I don't just mean a glib technique," replied Dr. Poulsen. "I mean, some people have an inborn kindness with animals. I think it lies within oneself: you, yourself, must have a certain feeling about animals. To a little extent perhaps it can be culti vated. But the main thing is to give the animal a feeling of sureness, of safety. And I think our animals reflect that . . ."
