Blood In The Ur!n
People want to know why
they have blood in their urine.
My answer, of course, ia that

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

for the rest of his days.
Dr. Alvarez hopes his readers
will understand that it would be
impossible for him to answer re
quests for information or to at
tempt to diagnose by mail.

699 Forest Fires
Battled in Oregon
Salem OP Oregon has appar
ently broken a six-year forest
fire jinx.
The State Forestry Depart
ment reported today that this
year 699 forest fires were bat
tled and held to an area of 9.274.
This was 1,000 acres less than
the average burned over during
the past five years.
Major flare-up of the year was
during September when fires
got loose in Coos and Curry
counties during an 'east wind.
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.

Christmas Program Slated

Table Rock The annual
Community Christmas program
will be held at the schoolhouse,

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.

"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
