8 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. A Thursday, June 18, 1959 West Cost Asks Reconsideration Of CAB Decision Seattle (UPD-West Coast Air lines has petitioned the Civil Aeronautics Hoard to recon sider "two basic proposals" denied by the CAB in the re cently concluded Pacific Northwest local service case. The airline again requested permission to operate new routes between Boise, Idaho and San Francisco-Oakland via Winnemucca and Reno, Nev., and Sacramento, Calif.; and between Klamath Falls, Ore. and Reno. West Coast officials ' said there was a "substantial am ount of traffic" between points north and east of Boise requiring one-carrier service via the Boise gateway to the San Francisco - Oakland area with intermediate stops at Re no and Sacramento. In addition to Boise, the company listed the following stops on West Coast's present routes as requiring such serv ices: Pullman, Wash., and Moscow, Idaho; Lewiston, Ida- fto, and Clarkston, Wash.; Walla Walla and the Tri-Cit- ies area of Washington; the Burley-Rupert area in Idaho; Twin Falls, Idaho; and Baker, La Grande and the Ontario Payette areas in Oregon. logrd Decides on Centscf Lenses Salem -flJPD- A precedent- tting case was decided by ut State Board of Examiners in Optometry when they de cided that only physicians or optometrists can legally fit contact lenses, according to Qttorney General Robert Y. Thornton. Thornton said this is the iSt decided case in the coun ijy involving the question. 95iei are similar cases pend inein other states. yh suit was brought by th9 4t board against Vent Air Contact Lens Specialists, Portlanf, and Harold C. Wgkefcfld, its manager. ThS board was upheld by Circuit gudge Paul R. Harris, Portland, last Friday. Harris said that fitting by other than physicians or op tometrists would violate the Cgitometrid Act, Nearly 1214 Million Persons Said To Own American Industry y i By ELMER C. WALZER UPI Financial Editor New York-fllPB-The revolu tion has come, says Keith Fun ston, president of the New York Stock Exchange, in a n n o u ncing that nearly 12Vfc m i 1 lion persons own American In dustry. Funston calls it . "a quiet econom- Elmer Waher ic revolution that is reshaping America." The New York Stock Ex change surveyed the nation and found that there are 12, 490,000 stockholders, nearly double the 6,490,000 reported for 1952 and 45 per cent high er than the 1956 count of 8 630,000. ' This giant total-one out of every eight adults in the nation-was an overwhelming surprise to the stock exchange, to its president, and to Wall Street in general. Up to the time the. report was issued the financial dis trict talked in terms of 10, 000,000 stockholders owning the nation's business. And the talk was not stressed because everyone tnougnt it was an exaggeration. The actual total floored the skeptics and cheered those who want our industry widely owned as a bulwark of capital ism to combat Soviet and oth er socialism where there is one stockholder-the state. These people who own the nation's business common stockholders are the owners of the corporations-also have other investments.' Eighty-one per cent have life insurance, 80 per cent have savings ac counts, 68 per cent own their own homes, 59 per cent have U.S. government bonds, and 37 per cent are in pension funds, the survey found. More than two-thirds of the group own the $300 billion worth of common stocks listed on the New York "Stock Ex change. This total alone, says the survey, is nearly equal to the entire share-owning pop ulation in 1956. An additional 2,700,000 peo ple own shares traded only on other exchanges or over the counter. And 1,230,000 in dividuals own only investment company shares of wmch there are some $15 billion outstanding . The top five cities in total share ownership are listed as New York, Chicago,' St. Louis, Pittsburgh and Washington, D.C. Rat of Growth Doubted The rate of growth has more than doubled the half million yearly average growth from 1952 to 1956. If this process continues, the stockholder tot al could reach 20,000,000 by 1962. . ., - Such a jump would bring problems. There wouldn't be enough common stock to go around unless some stockhold ers now frozen in by capital gains taxes would unload part of their holdings, or corpora tions would see fit to issue stock instead of bonds. . The-bullish angle of this ownership total is that the shareholders seem to be in vestors and not speculators. They aren't going to be fright ened into dumping stock each time the market has a small decline. Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins Holes Appeared in Dead Fish; Answer: Gastric Juice It probably was a coinci dence; it could hardly have been anything else, but when the telephone rang I was doc toring the forefinger of my left hand. It was feeling right peculiar. ' I had cut down a papaya plant and the thin, milky juice xf the stem and leaves had. run over my hand and entered an abrasion in the skin. The entire finger was feeling slightly numb and it tingled. By touching the' in jury with the fingers of my other hand, the cut and the area around it felt soft and irritated. I remembered that the juice of the papaya contains on en zyme known as papain, which acts as a digestive fluid. I also recalled that natives in countries where this fruit is raised always wear heavy gloves when handling the green fruit. This papain is pretty potent stuff; nearly the same as the gastic juice that is contained in the stomachs of animals. Phone Call , Watching my finger I pick ed up the telephone with my other hand. A lady asked if I would come out to see some fish who were undergoing radical changes in structure right before her very eyes. I drove over. ' The fish were small. She had brought them back from the beach in a glass jar of water and several had died. She had removed the dead ones and laid them on a board. Then right before her eyes holes began to appear in the sides of the dead fish. The holes grew larger as she watched; they grew in size un til; the opening went clear through the body. There's a very good reason for the perforation holes to occur suddenly in the side of a dead fish. The hole appears first on the underside, fol lowed shortly by another on the upper side; these rapidly expand in size. The fish are being eaten by acid; acid from the- stomach, usually called gastic juice. The juice is powerful stuff; it can dissolve a steel fish hook. It tears flesh apart, al- monst instantly and reduces it to almost a liquid. As death occurred in the little fish the DUMB AS A GOOSE? Milwaukee (UPD The Rev. George Bersch of St.x John's Episcopal , church tells this story: His brother, Ernest won a goose in a raffle but, unable to summon the courage to chop its head off, chloro formed it. He plucked it and left the nude bird on the kitchen tablew hile he left for an errand. When he came back the bird had revived and was sitting on a radiator trying to keep warm.

I shed their horns every year. gastric juice in the stomach, always ready to act on any flesh which is not alive, be gan to digest the flesh of the nsn itseii, ana tne holes ap peared. All Have It Gastic juice, present in the stomachs of all living animals, is a combination of hydro chloric acid and pepsin, along with a few other minor fluids, so powerful that it digests meat. The juice of the papaya plant that entered by cut fing er, also contains an enzyme called pepsin, or papain, which also, has the power to digest flesh, or soften tissue, ine juice on my nana was acting the same as the gastric juice inside the body of the fish. Of course no hole would have appeared in my finger- from the action, but there is a slight feeling of numbness that occurs. ' . . . y In the tissues of the papaya, or in the alimentary canal of an animal, this pepsin takes care of the process known as digestion. Gastric juice, a clear transparent liquid with a salty taste is manufactured in copi ous amounts and dumped into the stomach and the alimen tary canal. Although you don't hear much about this canal, it is about a million times more important than the Pan ama Canal and the Erie Canal put together.
