Methods Studied To Speed Up Counting OfYotesinOreaon Salem - (UPD - Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr. says that Oregon's voting methods, particularly in counting of votes, is "archaic and must be changed." He revealed that for the past year, studies have been made on possible methods of tallying votes in Oregon elec tronically. At present the counting is done manually by the counties. He said this does not mean Toe Joints May Restore Grasping Function of Hand Milwaukee, Wis. - (Science Service) - Transplanting a pa tient's toe joints and ampu tate fingers to his hand can restore the hand's vital grasp ing function. Dr. Martin A. Entin of the Royal Victoria hospital in Montreal, Canada, told the American Association of Plas tic Surgeons here today that three years after these opera tions, the joints are function ing. Describing the transplants in six patients ranging in age from eight to 68, Dr. Entin said the joints were taken from the patient's little toe in some cases. In others the joints were salvaged from fin g e r s previously amputated from the patient. No Pain Noted There was no pain or dis comfort during observation periods varying from six to 36 months, during which the joints were seen to be func tioning satisfactorily. X-ray showed some loss of normal shape but all the bones healed well. The reconstruct ed joints had a useful range of motion, between ten and 30 degrees. Dr. Entin said that although permanent "survival of the bone and joint component as an entity does not always take place," this is a practical pro cedure because of the painless aspects and the fact that some motion remains. Policeman Displays Unladylike Behavior Camden, N.J. A pert blonde went tripping down a deserted street at 3 a.m. Out of the shadows came a burly man carrying a claw hammer. He made advances. The blonde whirled about and displayed a business-like .38 calibre pistol. "Don't move!" The blonde turned out to be a tough, wiry policeman named Donald McGlensey. He was decked out in disguise to trap a masher who had been causing disturbances in the neighborhood. 3 voting machines, which are mechanical-type devices." Days Wen By An example of Oregon's out-moded vote-wmnting pro cedure, he said, is the I960 Oregon primary, when days j went by before results of some contests were known. Appling said if it were not for various news media mak ing spot counting, although unofficial, the outcome of voting would take "much longer" to be revealed. Two systems that Oregon is taking a look at are being tested in Los Angeles county and in Ohio. The Los Angeles method in volves marking ballots with ! graphite pencils. The ballots are fed through a machine and electronically computed. The system in Ohio is more radical. It involves "shrinking" the ballot to the size of a card. When the voter goes to the ' polls, he looks through a mag nifying glass which brings the print to readable size and he then votes by punching holes in the card. The cards are run through an electronic device and compilation of votes is "almost immediate." Systems Expensive j Appling said both systems are expensive but that pos sibly one could be leased for just the period of an election. He emphasized that these two ! systems are not the only pos sibilities. All avenues of improve ment must be aggressively in vestigated," Appling said. "We have tolerated the status quo in voting procedure too , long." Pups' Bodies Keep Lost Owner Alive Shelby, N.C. - Mrs. Dovie Black, 60, took a walk in the heavily wooded area be hind her home and got lost. Searchers went after her the same day and hunted in vain until midnight. The next morning they went out again and found Mrs. Black asleep with her four pet puppies cuddled against her. Doctors said the warmth of the dogs bodies probably save Mrs. Black in the near freezing temperature. OLDER WORKERS OUTPUT New York - IUPD - Older workers' output not cnly ri vals that of younger people in quantity but also in quality, according to a study by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Moreover, workers in the old er age groups have a steadier production rate - with con siderably less variation from week-to-week - than younger workers. The study showed that some 45 per cent of office workers aged 45 or over pro duce at a higher rate than the average of workers in the 35 44 age group. Workers 65 or over generally average as high as any other group. OPEN TUESDAY 'TIL 9 P.M. Cotton ? Mesh All-in-Ones Styled for medium to large bust sizes in 35 to 48.
