TMBUNE, Mi6W, 0 ;, UenJar, July 7, 193S Prognosticafors See Korea Boom (Seoul (UPD Korean fortune tellers are polishing up their crystal balls and get ting set for a business boom election time is approach ing. Aspiring politicians are pre paring for their campaigns, and this almost always in cludes a visit with a praction er of the occult. Fe self-respecting politic ians would think of heading into a campaign without. con sulting a favorite seer and getting a sounding on the political winds and an in sight into the future. Seoul's Qnost famous prog- Court Upholds Contempt Ruling Olympk. Wash. (UPI) contempt ruling against the State Game commission for failing to move the Game de partment's main office from Seattle to Olympia was up held today by the State Su preme court. The decision shut the door on further consideration of the issue before the Supreme court. The opinionosaid that the means by which the six-member commission can purge it self jpf contempt was exclu sive) within tht jurisdiction of)the Thurston County Su perior court. Superior Judge Charles T. Wright, who found the com mission and the Game depart ment in contempt for main taining the department's of fice in Seattle, has given com missioners until Aug. 15 to carry out a moving plan that Jould prge tht contempt. The Supreme court upheld Wright with virtually no dis cussion of the matter. It re peated a 1954 order com menting that state agencies maintain their principal of fices and records at the seat of government. nosticator Paik Woon Hak, says at least 150 members of the 302-seat ROK national as sembly have visited him al ready, seeking some good signs for nationwide assemb ly elections in the spring. A Korean politician usually has a sort of personal pro phet, but just in case the fav orite is gazing with bloodshot eyes into a clouded crystal ball on any given day the politician will take several other soundings.. Cost Varies , "Two crystal balls are bet ter than one," one politician said, "especially if the first happens to give a dark pic ture. We can all make mis takes, you know." The cost of the consulta tions varies with each custom er. Generally, the seer sticks each politician according to his . means, but regular- cus tomers get a rate. Paik said that of the more than 20,000 persons who have visited him during the past year, seeking his advice and predictions, almost 10 per cent were politicians. They .came from through out the nation and held or sought offices ranging from ward positions to the highest political posts. Some amateur seers, who think to make any easy dol lar, try to attract business during boom periods, such as now, but the police crack down on those who aren't year-round professionals. COLLEGE FUND 1 Aurora, N.Y.-(UPI) Wells College has set a five-million-dollar goal for its 100th an niversary in 1968.

Priest's Catalog Lists All Saints To Be Canonized Vatican City (UPI) Fath er Broderick, an American Jesuit priest, recently com pleted a catalogue of all the saints canonized by the popes. Father Broderick's work is an interesting and exhaustive statistical study. He confined his research to this field for it would be extremely diffi cult, if not impossible, to find out exactly how many saints there have been since the start of the Christian Era. 7.000 Saints From ancient religious and historical documents, the Jes uit Bollaridists Catalogue lists about 7,000 saints, and the Roman Martyrology Book in cludes about 5,000. But most of these saints were martyrs who died defending the faith during the first three centur ies of the Christian Era, and the names and details of many of them are unknown. According to Father Broder ick, 283 saints were regularly elevated to 'sainthood by the popes. All of them were sub ject to the rigid canonical in quiries which were imposed in the 8th Century A.D. Information on only the first of all these saints re mains relatively obscure be cause of a lack of documenta tion at the time. His name was Ulrich, an archbishop of Augsburg, Germany, in the 8th Century. He was canon ized by Pope John XV in 993. Except for the 9th Century there have been saints in every century since then. Two 11-Year-Olds There were four saints in the 8th Century, none in the 9th, seven in the 10th, 17 in the 11th, 20 in the 12th, 28 in the 13th, 13 in the 14th, 19 in the 15th, 76 in the 16th, 43 in the 17th, 19 in the 18th, 33 in the 19th, and four up to now in the present century. The nation with the highest number of saints is Italy with 95. France is second with 55. Spain follows with 38, Austria has 22 and Switzerland 22. Japan has 20 saints, all of them martyrs. Pope Pius IX elevated the greatest number of saints, 52, followed by Pius XI with 33 and Pius XII with 32. Of the 283 saints listed by Father Broderick, 56 were women. The little country girl martyr, Santa Maria Goretti, and a Japanese boy, Saint Ibaraquia, were the youngest saints. Both were 11 years old when they died. Saint Alessio Falconieri of Italy was the oldest. He died at the age of 110. From Your NEW dry Appliance . . . A BIG JULY a $ E!

The increased longevity of today is discussed in a book let recently published by the Department of Health, Edu cation and Welfare. It concludes that the 50-year-old has an even chance of living to 75. Another 13 years, it says, may be expect ed for the person 65. Those already 75 have good reason to expect another eight years of life. i The department reports that even these life expect ancy rates are on the rise. The booklet, entitled "The Older Person in the Home," states that increased longevi ty creates certain unique situ ations in the "three genera tion family." It notes that there now are over 14 million people in the United States who are 65 or more and at least five million over 75. Approximately three million of these older people live with married children or close relatives. The booklet points out that these older people can "play an active and constructive role in the life of their fami lies and community. We need their judgment, their experi ence, their stability." Three Sections . The booklet is divided into three sections. Part I deals with the general pattern of three-generation living. It dis cusses room arrangements, accident prevention, clothing, meal planning and ways to revitalize the older person with a hobby or by member ship in one of the clubs which cater to older people. Part II discusses special methods of caring for the se riously handicapped with ex cellent suggestions for sick room facilities and entertain ment. Even the "difficult" pa tient is covered with a com mentary from the director of one of the nation's "most suc cessful" private homes for the aged. His answer to dealing with the "difficult" patient was "understanding and re spect, and a real interest in each one as an individual." Part III deals with the sit uation which often arises of having to place the older per son in a home for the aged. What' to look for in such an establishment and how to find the one most suitable for the individual are discussed. Finally, it is up to each member of the family to make the home a happy one for the old folks. This can "spell the difference between loneliness and ' fulfillment between frustration and inde pendence" for the elderly.

AH New City Appliance Inc 127 North Central Phone SP 3-5306 Mental Health Problem Vital St. Paul (UPI) The prob lem of good mental health for America's againg popula tion is a vital one, and young er people can solve it, accord ing to the Minnesota State Medical Association. The group pointed out that the number of older persons in mental institutions is very high and -increasing at an alarming rate. Contributing to this "widespread breakdown," the organization said,' is "the strain of living in a society that tends to make second class citizens of the aged by shunting them aside enough to .develop dangerous stresses and tensions which lead to mental illness." Taboos imposed by young er persons on their elders such as social bans against having fun and wearing gay clothing are resented by healthy, well-adjusted senior citizens, according to the as sociation.. "Reaching a ripe old age is no longer a rare experi ence or a mark of distinc tion," the medical group said. "No longer is there the old fashioned family homestead in which grandparents played a prominent part. Older peo ple today live in a far differ ent world from that of then childhood. They have witness ed the coming of industrial ization, urbanization and mo bility and they must try to succeed in this fast-moving and often hostile world." Younger people can help the aged make a comeback, the association said, by pro viding job counseling, encour aging self-employment, bring ing them back into conimu nity life and trying to re strengthen family family ties between generations.
