Is That So?
Have you ever considered the
wonder of your bones some
200 "living" bones ranging from
your large, heavy femur in the !
upper leg to your light, tiny
stirrup bone in tne middle ear.'
A normal, healthy bone is
said to be "twice as strong as
oak" and it is among the most
durable objects on earth. Be
cause it will not dissolve in wa
ter, it may outlast steel or any
other metal affected by damp
ness. In fact, human bones have
been found that are nearly a
million years old. Animals'
bones, much older.
Human bones weigh slightly
more than water some, the
spongy bones which contain
large amounts of air, actually
float.
About two-thirds of the bone
is made of mineral matter es-
kvll-2-SJ
pecially phosphate of lime which
gives hardness and unfortunate
ly brittleness in older age. The
remaining third is animal mat
ter which gives bones toughness
to resist'breakage.

Republican Polf
Shows Confidence
In Administration
Washington (U.R) The Na
tional Republican Committee re
ported today that a "grass roots"
poll it made gave a vote of con
fidence and appreciation
to the Eisenhower administra
tion. Miss Bertha Adkins, head of
the Republican Women's Divis
ion, said more than 250,000 per
sons in 47 states were personal
ly interviewed for the poll. She
said the results indicated "grati
fying" voter approval of the ad
ministration's efforts to maintain
peace and prosperity.
Repubican state and county
vice chairmen undertook the
sampling under the title of "Poll
Takers of America." Those quer
ied were asked to identify them
selves as supporters of Mr. Ei
senhower, or Adlai Stevenson
or as non-voters in the 1952 elec
tion. Country 'Better Off
Asked if they -'thought the
country as a whole is better off
now than it was three years ago,
when Mr. Eisenhower took of
fice, 61.6 of i the Eisenhower
backers said yes; 4.3 per cent
said the country is worse off;
and 34.1 said "about the same."
Of the Stevenson supporters,
31.8 per cent voted for better
off; 15.9 per cent, for worse off;
and 52.2 per cent, for about the

Blind Workers Not
Employees of State
Salem (U.R) Attorney Gen
eral Robert Y. Thornton ruled
yesterday that blind workers in
the Oregon service for the blind
in Portland are not state em
ployees. The commission for the blind
asked the opinion. A contention
had been raised in behalf of the
workers that work done by them
in making brooms and other
articles was employment by the
state such as would entitle them
to old age and survivors insur
ance coverage.
Thornton, in his 'opinion, said
the making of articles by the
blind which are sold for their
benefit, is not work "for the
state or in the service of the
state." He ruled it is a state in
stitution supported by- taxation
and legislative appropriation and
can be operated only as a public
institution.

per cent worse off; and. 44.2 per

The Stevenson vote: 25.1 per
cent, better off; 17.1 per cent,
worse off; and 57.7 per cent,
about the same.
