10 MAIL TRIBUNE, Mdfrd, Oregon, Tutidiy, November 11, 1958 Italian Alcoholic Rate Said Among Lowest in World I J, 1 Delos Smith By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York-JCPD-Here are the main reasons why Italians are among the world's heaviest - consumers oi alcohol but at the same time have one of the lowest rates for alco holism in the world. They drink wine and they d r i n k it for health, in their ooinion. and rarely for stimulation. To them wine drinking is taken for granted it causes no comment and needs no defense. And they eat when they drink. This is from the final re port of a years-long compara tive study of the drinking and eating of 247 representative Italians and 251 representa tive descendants of Italian emigrants to the United States. These Americans drink whisky and beer in the main rather than wine and they drink not for health but to be "sociable" and for kicks. They separate drinking and eating, and they find it necessary to defend even moderate drink ing. In these and other par ticulars they conform to the common American "pattern." Auspices of Yale The detailed, scientific stu dy was under the auspices of the Yale University Center of Alcoholic Studies. The chief American investigator was Dr. Giorgio Lolli, former medical director of the Yale Plan Al coholic Clinic in New Haven, Conn., now in . private prac tice in New York.

The latter is impressive by a fact in Italy but in the U.S. It has a high rate of exceptions. Taller and Fatter The Americans of Italian descent were both taller and fatter than the Italians; they had had more education and had a higher standard of liv ing. They were "heavy eat ers" by and large while the Italians were "moderate eat ers" and also monotonous eat ers. The Americans were "ir regular, sporadic" eaters. The report found that the drinking behavior" of Ital ians "provides a variety of protections against some dan gerous effects of alcoholic beverage." But when Italians become Americans these pro tections are lost. The study traced increasing degrees of loss in first, second, and third generation Italo-Americans. . It gave emphasis to the psy chological side of American drinking. In Italy, this side is minor,' since wine is a food, like any food. But in America, "the custom of using alcoholic beverages separately from other food items-notably at the cocktail hour-is linked with a search for the psycho logical, effects of alcohol." And this "cannot fail to favor those conditions which are conducive to intoxication and the excessive use of alcohol." MARRIAGE LICENSE APPLICATION David Leigh Woolfolk.

Automobile Industry Gamble Paying Off With Latest Models New York-tTtt-The auto in dustry appears to have hit the jackpot with its billion dollar gamble. District Attorney To Address Church District Attorney Thomas J. Reeder will speak Wednesday, Nov. li. at 10:30 a.m. at the Msdford Ministerial associa tion meeting at Eastwood Bap tist church. Topic to be discussed will be "The Ministry and the At torney Look at Divorce." The district attorney will comment on what the minister can do to help prevent the increasing number of divorces. Following the talk a discus sion period will be held. The meeting will start at 10 a. m with a fellowship hour which is open to ministers of all denominations and church es in the area. Devotions will be held from 10:25 until 10:30 ajn. The business meeting will start at approximately 11:15 a.m., it was reported. Sched uled ' to be discussed during the meeting will be plans for the Union Thanksgiving serv ice held annually by the as sociation, and a meeting held recently by local pastors with a state representative of Ore gonians United for Separation of Church and State, an organ ization which is affiliated with .he national P.O.A.U. (Protest ants and Other Americans United for Separation of Church and State). That's roughly the amount of money the industry sDent to bring out its 1959 models, which are meeting an "en thusiastic" public reception. Top spokesman for General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Amer ican Motors and Studebaker Packard all have expressed optimism over the outlook for 1959 volume. A recent survey by United Press International showed that dealers across the country are confident 1959 is going to be a big sales year. Estimates Revised Upward ' A few months ago most in dustry leaders expressed the Bids Announced For Highway Work Salem-Bids for the grading of 3.1 miles of the relocated Pacific highway from the Josephine County line, about five miles east of Grants Pass, to Evans Creek at Rogue River, will be received in Sa lem on Nov. 12, the state high way commission announced. Route of the highway will follow the new alignment along the north side of the Rogue river. Plans call for construction of a four-lane di vided roadway from the coun ty line to the future over crossing of the Southern Pa cific railroad, 0.3 miles east of Evans Creek. From the overcrossing to Evans Creek the highway will be four-lane separated by a metal median barrier. This jwork is sched uled for completion in the late fall of 1959. opinion that sales in the 1959 model year would rise to around 5,500,000 units from an estimated 4,500,000 in 1958. However, at Michigan uni versity's sixth annual confer ence on the economic outlook, held in Ann Arbor last week, economist Hans Brems said sales in 1959 may top six or seven million units. Only once before in history in 1955 did auto sales ever approximate seven million units. ' The keys behind the grow ing optimism in the auto in dustry are the steady increase in consumer disposable in come what's left after wage earners pay their taxes and the dramatic improvement in consumer confidence.

ACCESSORIES-MAIN FLOOR should provide an answer to the industry's biggest conundrum- Is the popularity of the small cars a trend or a fad? Brems, a University of Illi nois professor, said small cars in 1959 will continue to in crease their share of the, total car market. He hinted that sales of small domestic and foreign cars could top 630,000 units in the new model year.
