LEWIS A STANLEY.
. - Slate Engineer
Jess outlined reasons why 8
chamber of commerce body has
an interest in preventing floods.
He noted that S4 million worth
of damage was caused by the
December flood of 1955.
Feel Lost
Business men feel the loss in
directly because there is less
money available for purchases
and directly because taxes are
higher due to a smaller tax base,
according to Jess.
Annual loss frdm floods now
averages about 5400,000, a 60
per cent increase over the last
10 years, it was pointed out.
Floods also are to blame for the
loss of valuable bottom land
along the Rogue river, Jess said.
Discussing casualties of the
1955 flood, Jess said it was
"truly miraculous" no lives were
lost. He commended local Civil
Defense crews for evacuating be
tween 200 and 300 people from
inundated areas along the
Rogue.
31 Local Floodi
During the last 50 years there
have been 31 local floods, Jess
noted, of which five can be de
scribed as severe. Three of the
"severe" floods have occurred
between 1953 and 1955, he said.
Jess, indicated more floods can
be expected because of a chang
ing watershed, which is now
more susceptible to floods.
The flood control chairman
pointed out his organization has
been successful in uniting "di
vergent" groups that have an
interest in water. Among these,
he said, are flood control, irriga
tion and power groups.
The point that has united
these interests, according to Jess,
is that the Rogue flood organ
ization has resolved to support
any flood control measure pro
posed by an Army corps of en
gineers report, scheduled for
completion by June of 1958.
Porter's Decision
Jess added, however, that the
decision' by Rep. Charles Porter
(D.-Ore.) to immediately intro
duce a Rogue basin flood -control
bill may jeopardize the un
animity between the "divergent"
interests and his flood control
organization.
"Porter has agreed not to urge
its passage, however, until the
next session of Congress, after
the Army Corps of Engineers
report has been made public,"
Jess said. The Oregon repre
sentative also has agreed to
work closely with local flood
control interests in formulating
the bill, Jess added.
A Bear Creek water shed
protection and flood prevention
program now being prepared by
the Izaak Walton league and
sponsored by the Rogue Soil
conservation district is being
supported by the Rogue flood
control group, Jess said. "
After-Prom Parly
Plans Completed
The Medford Lions club has
announced completion of plans
for the party to be held at the
YMCA club after the Medford'
H'gh school junior-senior prom
Saturday night.
The after-prom party will
start immediately after the
dance and will continue until
the early hours of Sunday morn
ing. AH facilities of the YMCA
will be available to students
who attend, according to Alva
Perkins, chairman of the party.
Swimming, games and t'ancing
will be among the evening's ac
tivities. All activities will be su
pervised by members of the Li
ons club. 4
A free breakfast is planned
between 2 and 3 a.m. Louie
Ruhl, food chairman, said the
menu will include scrambled
eggs, pancakes, sweet rolls, sau
sages, milk, coffee and tomato
juice. (
Committee members said any
appropriate dress may be worn
for the party. They recommend
ed, however, that students
change from formal wear to
sports clothes.

ANY QUESTION
Portland, Me. U.R) State
Representative Jerome G. Plante
of Old Orchard Beach claims to
be the youngest state legislator
in the country at the age of 21.
FALLING OF THE WOMB
Many elderly women ask
what to do for a bad prolapse
of the womb. Some of them
have already
tried so-called
pessaries but
these haven't
held well
enough, and
they have
been irritating.
Some of these
women are
greatly dis-
Dr Alvarez IrcSScu De-
cause the bladder has come
down so far that it doesn't
empty well, and the urine keeps
getting infected. This brings fre
quent urination and burning and
getting up at night. Also, with
the rolling down of the rectum
it is hard to empty the bowels.
I think usually a good surgeon
can operate in such a way as to
make a new pelvic floor that
will hold the womb and the
other organs up in place. I see
little sense in putting off the
operation year after year be
cause so often the woman event
ually has to have, it done, and
then she wishes she had had it
done earlier.
Why Do We Prolong Suffering?
A fine woman writes that she
will burst if she' doesn't tell
someone of the distress she feels
over what has been done to her
father-in-law, at the age ofo-84,
has been lying for three weeks
in a semi-coma. His mind is com
pletely gone and he is having
convulsions every day. For three
years his mind had been deter
iorating because of . hardening
of the arteries within the skull.
In spite of the fact that the poor
fellow was in this terrible con
dition, his physicians performed
a prostatic operation. They
seemed to feel obliged to do, all
in their power to keep the man
alive as long as they could. Ac
cordingly, ihey gave him re
peated blood transfusions, they
fed him through" his veins, and
they gave oxygen and every
new drug that might keep the
brainless body alive.
As the lady says, he was a
little more than a vegetable, try
ing hard to get out of this world
without more suffering. She
thinks that for a while he was
conscious enough to suffer and
t want to die, and so he refused
to take food. Now his daughter
wants to know why doctors do
this sort of thing. They are
keeping three shifts of special
nurses working around the
clock in their effort to keep
the old man alive for a few
weeks longer. Why shouldn't
they let him pass?
I might add, why don't we
doctors think more often of the
financial ruin that this sort of
thing brings on a family, and
to no purpose? Why use up in
a few months money that might
keep the widow alive or send
grandchildren through college?
As my correspondent says,
"Can't you please do something
to change the code ol physicians
so that, when an old man's mind

is gone or, when, with cancer
scattered through the body,
there is nothing left for hun but
suffering, why not let him (or
her) pass in peace and dignity?"
To Have Another Try
A while ago a fine physician
begged me to help him out of
an embarrassing situation. He
said his beloved brother had
been lying for months in a hos
pital, only partially conscious,
completely blind, and largely
paralyzed but apparently still
able to suffer, He had a brain
tumor of a cancerous type. Sur
geons had taken out part of it
but they could not get it all
out, and the operation had dene
no good.
Now, the brain surgeons had
come to the doctor and had said
they were going to have an
other try at it. The doctor did
not want the operation, and he
was sure that his sick brother,
if he could have understood or
talked, would also have said,
"No, for goodness sake, leave
me alone. But the surgeons
made the doctor feel that it was
to save money, that he could
ill afford that he was denying
his sick brother proper care.
And this, in spite of the fact
that the surgeons had to admit
that no matter how successful
the new operation, the man
would not get back his sight
or his intelligence, or any joy
in life. At most they might pro
long his life by six months.
I said, "No, stand up for your
rights and your brother's rights,
and don't let him be operated
on." A year later, when again
I met the doctor, he thanked me
from the bottom of his heart for
my having helped him to refuse
the operation. .His brother had
died and it hadvbeen a blessed
release.
From past experience, I know
that I will now get a number
of bitter and perhaps nasty let
ters for having written this.
Good, kind, religious people will
tell me that only God can say
when a man should die. But this,
it seems to me, is not a logical
answer because, if we left these
people ' alone, and let God de
cide when they should die; if
we didn't meddle by giving peni
cillin and oxygen and cortisone
and intravenous food, they
would go much sooner and thus
have much less suffering.
Voluntary Health Insurance
According to a report of the
Health Information Foundation,
about 110 million Americans, or
almost 70 per cent of the popu
lation, are now covered by some
form of voluntary health insur
ance. Some 94 million people
have insurance for surgery; 58
million hava policies covering
doctors' fees incurred when the
patient is in a hospital, and 7
million are insured against ma
jor medical expenses.
Dr. Alvarez hopes his readers
will understand that it would
be impossible for him to answer
requests for information or to
attempt to diagnose by mail.
