CUPI Telephoto) ' AJtir five minutes of adjustments after The Medical Roundup by SI 6 VI - Alrues The Homtmaker Servicts ... . : In a recent number of the . Journal of the American Medical Association, there is an article by David E. Price, of our Public Health h&ff I Se.rvice.on I K V what is beins done all over the country by the Home- maker Service I people. To me, it is a very promising and hopeful pro ject, and one that doubtless, with time, will be set up in ,m9re and more communities. -So ften, perhaps in a poor part of town, when a physic ian goes into a home of sick . ness, h finds a situation so bad that no medicine that he can think of can possibly help mfth. Perhaps there is a sickly, slattern, or somewhat alqpholic mother ' who does not know how to feed and cafe for even children and a huafend. hen the doctor is very f or tumte if he can get a "home gutter" to go occasionally to i house .to help the woman t grapple intelligently with Uka big problems facing her. , Vhat can a poor man with a family do when his wife has jjftt died, or has become, bed ridden, and he has to keep at rk? In many a home in 8 hich the mother is ill, it Vould help greatly if an able foman could come in for only two hours a day so that the Ttipnt. pniild eft a little rest. Or, hre is an old, almost bed ridden person of 85 or 90 who c5uld get by at home if only someone came in occasionally perhaps just to do some marketing. . Not Enough Available ' As one would expect, there are nowhere near as many "homemakers" available as are needed or could be used, but there are thousands of matiT and fine women, warm- hearted, ' nervously stable, and intelligent, and with their own families rais ed, who could be recruited and trained; and who would gladly be of great use in their community. Many of " these people are being trained to day in fine hospitals. Usually, these women do not need much training in home-building because that is an art they know well. .'. Many of the national associ ations, like The Cancer So ciety, The Heart Association, The Tuberculosis Association, The Arthritis group, and The National Health Council, are working on this proble m. Booklets are being prepared, which will help in the train ing of "homemakers." These booklets will be obtainable through the Washington, D.C., Public Health Service. Num bers 644 and 645 are now ready. I do' hot have any copies to send out. toe Effects of Tobacco I recently read that a Public Health Service study of 198, 926 veterans showed a 32 per hifhfr death rate among smokers than among non smokers. Nearly two - thirds of the 6 203 deaths observed among the users of tobacco were at tributed to diseases of the heart, blood vessels and kid neys. The death rate from coronary heart disease was Eneritns Conniltanl in Medicine. Mxyo Clinic Emeritus Prolenur of Medicine Uxja CllaJe found to be 63 per cent higher in cigarette-smokers than in non-smokers. I cannot see any way of laughing off these facts as some men are now trying to do. Several fine and well trained men feel they are go ing to be able to think up some other reason than smok ing for the great increase in lung cancer that has appeared in the last 30 years. This in crease is so great that, again, one cannot ignore it. One can only hope that one can find some explanation other than the obvious one. The fact that pipe-smokers and cigar-smokers do not get the lung can cers, as the cigarette-smokers do, certainly indicates that it is the inhaling of the smoke deep into the lungs that, after some years, causes the cancer to grow in certain suscepti ble persons. That the inhaling of the smoke is what is bad is what anyone would expect. It should be interesting to stu dents of human behavior that in spite of all the mass of evi dence that incriminates cig arettes, the number of cig arettes smoked each year has been going up!

Long Glass Fibers Detect Radiation Chicago (Science Service) A better method of detecting dangerous gamma radiation may result from attempts to increase the radiation sensi tivity of glass. Scientists at Armour Research Foundation of Illinois Institute of Tech nology here are using long glass fibers, especially coated, to achieve greater sensitivity. The glass fibers can be cali brated like a thermometer. Exposure to radiation darkens them, permitting an immedi ate reading. The fibers can be coiled into a small spool or disk and worn by laboratory and military personnel. It is conceivable that this type of glass dosimeter could replace film, which must be develop ed to reveal the extent of exposure. ORC Reelects Entire Slate Of Officers Klamath Falls - OJPD - The Oregon Reclamation Congress has reelected the entire slate of current officers at the wind up of the group's golden anni versary meeting here. Hold-over- officers included Harold Hursh of Huntington, president; Carlos Randolph, Madras, vice president; Mar vin K Shearer, Corvallis, sec retary; W. E.

WALZER UPI Financial Editor New York (UPD - This is the time of year when tax selling gets under way in the stock market. X rK P Tax seUing II A 1 is the nrocess o f establish- yy.Mttr 1 JT lUbbes iur in come tax pur poses. To reg ister a gain or loss the secu rity involved Elmer Waller must be sold. The tax man doesn't take pa per profits or losses into con sideration. In ordinary markets, trad ers begin this tax selling in late October and carry it into mid-December. If there is enough of it the market is apt to decline. Funds Pile Up Selling of this type piles up investment funds which to gether with year-end dividend and interest payments rise to a sizeable total. They often are reinvested in late Decem ber, producing the traditional year-end rally that often car ries into the new year Here is where the capital gains tax functions. Those with long-term capital gains gains from stock or other property transactions o n 1 y pay a tax that works out at 25 per cent instead of the surtax rates that run as high as 91 per cent. The capital gains tax is one of the few ways one can amass some capital. - It's mighty difficult to get to gether a pile of money on the usual income taxes. Sixth-Month Minimum To operate on the 25 per cent rate (actually 50 per cent of 50 per cent of the long-term gain) the property sold to establish this gain must have been held for more than six months. If it's one minute less than that the tax collector just doesn't accept it. The word "more" is the im portant one in this category -more than six months. Of course, one can take losses too.' And one can take short-term gains. Short term gains or short term losses are those on property held six months or less. This year's tax selling is expected to run higher than last year but under 1957. Not a small amount of it may be in preferred stocks, and in bonds because these two have shown declines. The object of registering losses is to use them to off set gains. You can sell up to the last tick on the stock ticker on Dec. 31 to establish losses. You must sell on or before Dec. 24 to establish gains for 1959 in the regular way. If you want to establish a gain after Dec. 24 the same must be for cash and immediate de livery. Securities sold to establish a gain may be repurchased immediately. Securities sold to establish a loss may not be LAW'S STRONG ARM Kyoto, Japan (UPD Japa nese policemen are noted for their rigid interpretation of the law. Five vegetable ped dlers flipping coins to see who paid an 83-cent restaurant check were arrested on gam bling charges and kept over night in jail. repurchased for 31 days or longer. Review Portfolio Now Standard & Poor's suggests reviewing one's portfolio now for tax purposes and at the same time considering some advantageous switches. Standard lists methods of procedure in tax operations: "First, sell your bonds or stocks priced below cost to es tablish a tax loss. "Second, sell enough of your 'frozen', holdings to ab sorb the' capital loss in the aforementioned transactions." Then comes the operation of matching long-term gains against long-term losses, and short-term gains against short term losses. Helps Higher Income The 25 per cent capital gain tax doesn't begin to do one any good until his taxable in come reaches $18,000 for a single person, and $36,000 for a married couple filing a joint return. Even if you don't have tax able income running to the hig" bracket where the 25 per cent capital gains tax takes hold, you can profit by long term capital gams since in regular tax procedure they are only taxed on 50 per cent of the net capital gains. natural regularity wMHiwni ttu or Your Money Back TY THIS 3StepJPlon MOM DEXM sacs' g0fo CEREAL MIS ALL YOU DO... 1 wW S!?- V? tWs delic5ou Wend of toasted whol, wheat flake, and toasted whole flaxseed at your grocer'.! . 2- InrJ.LPr y T &t breakfMt- lch or bedtime.
