My answer, of course, ia that they should go 1 jr is- Dr. Alvarez One of the common causes, particularly in men, is a cancer of the bladder. Often this looks like a low cauliflower growth on the lining of the bladder. It can usually be burned off with hot electric sparks. The urolo gist does this work as he looks through his electrically-lighted tube that he has passed down through the urethra (the tube that carries the urine away from the bladder). Occasionally, the cause of the bleeding will be found in a kidney, where there may be a cancer or inflamma tion or possibly some stones. Bleeding Piles Hundreds of thousands of peo ple are concerned about piles, or hemorrhoids. These are dilat ed veins. In most cases, little needs to be done except to keep them clean and to keep from forcing out very hard and con stipated bowel movements. Big hard masses of waste can tear a pile or can cause blood to clot in it. Then it will be very pain ful for a week. If piles are bleed ing badly, they may have to be operated on. Always when a per son bleeds from the bowel, he must not assume that the blood is coming from the piles. Also, he must not let his doctor as sume this, as the doctor may do If he is very busy. Thousands of people each year assume this, and as a result, they die of a cancer of the rectum which was two or three inches higher up in the bowel. Many people would like to ex periment with the injection treatment for piles, but leading experts tell me thev have no immediat e 1 y faith in it, and many will not use to a physician i it.

The State Forestry Depart ment reported today that this year 699 forest fires were bat tled and held to an area of 9.274.

In addition, a controlled fire got away from the forest service 10 miles south of the Oregon bor der and in a matter of hours was carried into Klamath coun ty by high winds. Hundreds of fire fighters were put to work and the blazes were about 6,000 acres. WHO?

Cottrell, Mrs. Thomas's son and daughter-in-law from Coos Bay and friend, Mrs. Lloyd Daley and family, spent the week end at the C. U. Thomas home. The John Nealon home is be ing remodeled, a room being added with a picture window and circulating fireplace. The havy winds of early Mon day morning reaching gale pre portions at times, awakened sleepy farmers here a little earlier than their usual getting up times. One neighbor lady reports that one of the extra strong blasts caused her hus band to jump out of bed as he was, and run to the garage. We wondered if he was afraid the house might be blown over, or if he wanted to get the carout before the garage blew away. Quite a few young trees, one and two years old, have been go ing to market from the Ker shaw nursery, which contains some 100,000 trees and shrubs, from wild plums to highly prized orchard stock. This nursery is ' one of the Communities busi ness enterprizes started in the last few years, and seems to be more than full filling the pro prietor's fondest expectations. Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Robinson Volkswagoned down to Vallejo, Calif., recently where they visit ed relatives at the Doug Robin son home. They checked their gas mileage on the way down, and claimed they averaged 36 miles to the gallon. chu MARKET 838 WEST McANDREWS ROAD Store Hours: 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. SPECIALS Thursday 3 p.m. to Wednesday, Dec. 24th 7 p.m. PHONE SP 3-1666 CLOSED SUNDAYS POTATOES 10 pounds BANAUAS Pound KRAFT'S COTTAGE CHEESE ..pf.

Six Persons Hurt In Highway Crash A head-on collision on a curve just north of the Rogue river bridge on Highway 99 at Rogue River sent six persons to Jose phine General hospital at Grants Pass early today. State police said a car operat ed by Phillip G. Blogney, 49, Roseburg, collided in the north bound lane with a car driven by Pfc. John A. McAdams, 19, of Newburg, shortly after 5 a.m. McAdams is stationed at Camp Pendleton, Calif. Blogney was hospitalized with a cut lip and possible fractured ribs. McAd ams suffered severe cuts on his forehead and a possible frac tured skull, police said. Four passengers in the Mc Adams auto also were hospital ized. They are Pfc. Paul T. Smith, 19, Newburg, front teeth knocked out; Pvt. Thomas P. Gelow, 19. Portland, knee in jury; Pfc. Edgar L. Mintun, 20, Bliss, Ida., se?ere lacerations of the head and face, and Min tun's wife, Lois, 17, severe lac erations of the mouth and a broken right leg. A fifth pas senger, Pfc. William L. Beeber, 18, Portland, was not hospital ized, officers reported. Police said Blogney told them he was traveling south follow ing a truck. He said he saw the truck lights blink and thought it was a signal to pass. When he pulled out into the northbound lane his auto struck the car driv en by McAdams, according to reports. Blogney was cited for failure to operate on the right side of the road, police said. We have read the lengthy re port of George E. Hiller, Na tional Field Representative co Veterans Administration after a thorough inspection made by him of the Veterans Domiciliary at Camp White. The report was given to us by Charley Hoover, who with other Eagle Point Grangers and the American Legion is actively engaged in trying to get the large unused part of the hospital activated. The report of Hiller is far too lengthy to be given here, but is very interesting and com plete in every detail, so we will quote a few words in his clos ing summation "If I have ap peared to be over enthusiastic about the Domiciliary, may I state here that I have not ex aggerated in any respect." It is planned, according to Hoover, to have the county Granges send in resolutions re commending the activating of the hospital on a full scale, and the writing of letters to our senators. From what we get from reports, and what we know by personal contact we heartily agree with the idea that the Camp White hospital could and should be used to its full capa city. Waiting lists of veterans in need, of hospitalization proves that it is needed, with the dur able construction and modern scheme of arrangements which meet all standard requirements, it would be a down right waste of money to build a Veterans hospital elsewhere in this area. 100th Safecracking Job Reported in Portland Portland (IP) The 100th safecracking case here this year was reported today. Police said burglars broke into the Flamingo club on north Williams avenue and hammered off a dial of the safe but finally gave up and took money from a juke box and cigarette machine. Coupeville, Wash. (IP) A Navy flying boat crashed into Puget Sound off Whidbey Island today and burst into flames. "It's Fun Being Well" It sometimes takes a very simple thing to brighten our day a cheery word, a bright smile. In the same manner little things can be destructive to our happiness and t our health. A Grants Pass minister has recently written a book on the theme "IT'S FUN BEING WELL," based upon the Bible and pointing out sunlit paths to health and happi ness. You will enjoy reading it and it would make a very acceptable Christmas present. , 0 Look for it in your favorite book store. o o STARK'S CHRISTMAS SALE 0 - . 9 3; 4 O REBUILT KIRBY VACUUM CLEANERS WITH POLISHER AND ATTACHMENTS Values to $79.95 $MS5 Yes, many of these fine Cleaners Were Rebuilt O; To Sell for $79.95.
