Mable D. He is trying to
foist the burden on me.
Morion D. Mother al
ways said she was selfish.
Mable D. My husband
and I have been married six
years and have two children,
I have not been a well woman
ever since the birth of my
second child, but I have man
aged to do all my own work
and care for my family more
than adequately.
My husband shows no ap
preciation of the odds under
which I have worked. He
seems to feel my life has been
a picnic since I've been mar
ried to him. Now he wants
to bring his mother to live
near us.
Mort's mother is an invalid
and requires care. She re
fuses to go to a nursing home
and her own daughter has
been unable to cope with
her. Now Mort thinks nothing
of foisting the whole burden
on me. I have threatened to
run away and I mean it.
Morton D. Mable's tale
of woe just makes me laugh.
For years she has been com
plaining that she isn't well,
but the doctors can't find a
thing wrong with her. In
spite of this, I have done more
than my share to help her
with the home and children.
I'm not asking her to do
a thing for my mother, ex
cept be nearby in case of
emergency. My sister has been
through a long seige with
mother and now she isn't
well herself. She wanted to
have Mother move in with
me, but we are trying to
mak things easier for every
one by letting Mother have
her own place near me.
My mother always said
Mable was a selfish person.
She said she hoped she would
n't have to depend on her
for anything. Now Mable is
showing her true colors.
Tht Council: This husband
and wife seem to be using the
mother-in-law as a scapegoat
in' a battle which actually
has little to do with the moth
er involved. It is very crupl
to an elderly person to use
her this way.
The doctors may find noth
ing wrong with Mable, but
we believe that if she does
n't feel well, something is
wrong. That something may
not be physical, but we don't
doubt it is painful in its own
way.
Mable has used this pain
in her feelings or nerves to
tyrannize over her husband
and to make him feel guilty.
She has probably done the
same to her children. Morton
probably accepts this guilt,
but is deeply resentful.
Afar more constructive
step for both would be to
make a real effort to find out
what has gone wrong in this
marriage. A doctor or train
ed social worker may be able
to help this couple be a little
more objective about their
problems.. - . -.
If Mable and Morton can
straighten out their marital
difficulties and become will
ing to be more understanding
of one another, they will un
doubtedly be able to come to
some compromise about how
to handle the special diffi
culties presented by Morton's
mother.

Educators Urged' to Use
Centennial in Schools
Portland The education
al advisory committee to the
Oreeon centennial commis
sion is urging educators to
use the centennial as an op
portunity to enrich students'
knowledge of their state.
Lewis Douglas, chairman
of the committee, signed a
policy statement sent to all
superintendents, school ad
ministrators, heads of teach
ers' organizations and Parent
Teacher associations and pri
vate schools in the state.
Rex Putnam, state superin

also enclosed his own note
asking educators to "assist in
every possible way in making
this historic centennial year a
great success so far as our
schools are concerned."
The educational advisory
committee suggested, no
changes in curricula and no
major outlays for equipment.
It said: "Instead, the commit
tee seeks to alert administra
tors and teachers in their
guidance of youth to enrich
and deepen on every possible
occasion the students' knowl

Is That So?
By OLGA BURNS
In some cities our street
pigeons are considered such a
nuisance that laws have been
passed forbidding their feed-
in e. but the only effect nas
been on bird lovers and not
the birds.
The reason is pigeons find
our cities of steel and concrete
ideally suited to their housing
requirements and will prob
ably continue to, despite the
present architectural fashion
of building smooth, box-like
structures. As for the matter
of food, nieeons are such ex
cellent fliers they would not
object to commuting a tew
miles if law enforcement fin
ally made that necessary.

Why pigeons are so satisfied
with life on our public build
ings is that, regardless of their
many bloodlines, they are ac
tually rock pigeons, so named
because they originally lived
on cliffs and other rocky
places. They chose such places
because they were safer there
from their enemies. And since
our cities are generally free
from birds of prey which orig
inally harried their ancestors
near their homes, it is safe to
say that never in history have
rock pigeons had it so good.
as for the food prblem
if handouts "of cracked corn
and grain were suddenly cut
off, all the birds would do
is fly to the nearest parks
and farms and get their food
there. In those cases where
wild rock pigeons still live
in their ancestral homes, as
near Scarborough Head, Eng
land, they commute daily to
the nearest cultivated fields.
Distance would present no
difficulty. Since the finest rac
ing pigeons and carriers, with
speeds up to 60 miles an hour,
have been developed from the
rock piegon, it is obvious that
the basic stock must have out
standing flying ability.
How we happen to have so
many of these birds is that
since colonial times people
have been bringing them over
from Europe. They brought
them for food purposes they
are easy to raise and feed
themselves to a considerable
extent for show purposes
and to raise as racers and car
riers. Also, for decades into
the early 1900's, there was a
big demand for pigeons as
living targets for trapshooters.
Inevitably, of course, many of
these birds escaped or were
turned loose.
In any event, with living
conditions being what they
are for pigeons, it is unlikely
we shall seethe time when
they will not be a familiar
sight in our cities. Probably
they will be urban dwellers
as long as people.

Malaria Problem Being Licked
But MosquitosContinueTo Live
Lisbon (CPD A leading
American expert on malaria
says the disease is almost cer
tainly being wiped out from
the world, but warned that
this doesn't mean the world
will be rid of mosquitoes too.
A lot of people think ma
laria eradication is the same
as mosquito eradication," said
Dr. Paul F. Russell of the
Rockefeller Foundation. "That
isn't so. We can beat malaria
killing only a small percent
age of the world's mosquito
population."
Russell, who lives in North
Edgecomb, Maine, was in
Lisbon to act as consultant
at a World Health Organiza
tion meeting of malaria ex
perts. The meeting was part
of a 76-nation campaign to
erase malaria completely
within 10 to 25 years in
some countries within five
years.
Malaria is a mosquito-carried
disease which has ravag
ed the world's 'ropical regions
for centuries. For the past
300 years man has had only
two defenses against it the
mosquito net and quinine.
Now, though, quinine has
been pensioned off and re
placed by' such drugs as the
German developed Chloro
quine, the British Proguanil
and the American Pyrimeth
amine. Rendered Obsolete
And the net has been ren
dered obsolete by powerful
insecticides which remain le
thal to mosquitoes for months
after being sprayed on walls.
' Russell said "there is no
doubt that the new method
of wall spraying with insecti
cides has been the greatest
single factor in helping de
feat malaria."
He explained that the mos
quito becomes a malaria car
rier only by biting a man
already infected with the dis
ease. It takes the malaria par
asite into its system from the
sick man. "
"This is where a useful
trick comes in," Russell said.
"It takes 10 days for the para
site to become potent within
the mosquito. During jthat
10 days the mosquito can do
no harm even if it bites anoth
er man, but we nave a good
chance of killing it."
. The type of mosquito which
bites a man, generally speak
ing, is the type that likes to
buzz around houses, attracted
by lights, humans, food.
Affected Countries Help
But as soon as it hits an
insecticide-sprayed wall it is
finished. And in a general
Springfield Plant
Output To Be Doubled
Springfield, Ore. -(UPD-Na-tional
Metallurgical company
has announced plans to double
output of its silicon plant here
in a $500,999 expansion pro
gram. Winton Platte, vice presi
dent and general manager,
said the firm hopes to have
the project completed and in
production by next July. In
cluded will be two steel and
concrete buildings, a raw ma
terials warehouse and a ma
chine shop.
The new and first post-war
trade pact between Sweden
and Austria will be effective
until Dec. 23, 1960. I
campaign of mass spraying of
walls wherever there are
dwellings it is a good bet the
mosquito will hit a dose of
poison before 10 days are up.
For the big post-war drive
to oust malaria from the
world, 60 per cent of the
funds have come from the
governments of affected
countries.
. But three organizations
have taken the lead in the
battle:
The World Health Or
ganization. Although operat
ing on a small budget, since
1947 it has provided the neces
sary technical leadership.
The United Nations
Children's Fund. Working on
the theory that malaria is
very tough on children, this
organization has poured more
than $30 million into the
fight. Its money has been used
for equipment, transport and
supplies,
The United States In
ternational Cooperation ' Ad
ministration (ICA) and its pre
decessor foreign aid agencies.
They have given in excess of
$90 million for all phases of
anti-malaria work.
Russell said the work al
ready done has been so ex
tensive that more than half
the people who must come un
der eradication programs are
already under them.
Cloud on Horizon
There is one cloud on the
horizon the possibility that
mosquitoes will develop a re
sistance to both groups of
insecticides presently in use
DDT on the one hand and
B.H.C. (Benzine hexa chlor
ide) and Diedrin on the other.
Experience t o date has
MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford. Oregon, Thursday, October 23, 1958 3A
shown, however, that if mos
quitoes become resistant to
one group of insecticides, they
fall prey to another.
Men like Russell are con
fident all problems can be
overcome. They have seen
such tremendous progress in
their lifetime they know er
adication is possible.
"Take the United States,"
said Russell. "During the
1930s we used to get up to
4,500,000 cases in a year,
mainly in the Southeast. Last
year there were only 14 prov
ed cases."
Areas Listed
Other places where malar
ia has been eradicated are
Puerto Rico, Chile, Cyprus,
Corsica, Italy, Martinique, the
Netherlands and the Gaza
strip. Countries where the
disease is on its way out are
Mauritius, Reunion Island, Ro
mania, Argentina, Venezuela
and British and French Gui
ana. Areas where the problem is
still acute include Central Af
rica, Borneo and New Guinea.
China is an unknown quan
tity. It used to have a high
malaria incidence, but little
is known of developments
there since the Communists
took over. In Formosa the
eradication project is well
along.
