D. MEDFOBD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. 9 SUNDAY. OCTOBER 2, 1980 Porter Discusses Medical Care for Aged at Luncheon Medical care for the aged must be provided on a self financing, non-charity basis, Rep. Charles O.

Ashland for Facts position on medical care has changed for the better since he began campaigning," Port er said, "but he still has a long way to go. 1 The Repub lican nominee, according to Porter, first favored the Amer. ican Medical Association posl tion, "self-help and private insurance," but now recom mends some federal financ ing such as provided in the lQdlcare plan just enacted by Congress. Asks Questions . ' Porter said he was still waiting to see the "positive program promised by his op ponent early this year. "Does hiQ favor the Rogue Basin Droioct? Does he fnvor Aeate ifbam? Is he in favor of increas ing the minimum wage to $1.29? Does he favor legisla- tion to allow common site nickctihg? How does he stand i right to work legislation?" Porter asked,, stating that his position on these issues was well-known and a matter of record. . Porter also urged his op ponent to sign the Fair Cam paign Practices Pledge. "This has been approved by the leadership of both parties and I am surprised thatony orti ponent refuses to subscribe tfri these principles," Porter said. Prater said the main nation al issues were medical care for aged, better home financ ing, anufederal aid to educa tion. He drove to Roscburg Friday night and will return to Eugene Saturday evening. Thursday morning he was denied permission to visit workers at Bear Creek Or chards, but was welcomed at most mills, and at Tucker Sno-Cat company.

They were accompa nied by two scout leaders, Mrs. Thomas Eslinger and Mrs. George Davy, who were assisted by Miss Sherry Prich ard, a senior scout. Soon after arriving the group was divided into two patrols, with Miss Susan Naumes and Miss Patty Comp ton as patrol leaders. They set up camp in a beautiful location, just beyond the spring. The firstduty was to pilch their ten? which are big enough for three girls, and to gather wood for the eve ning meal and the campfire. Patrol lOishedj big kitchen tle with slictTs and twine while Patrol 2 prepared the area for the big ewmpfire and prepared the evening meal. It consisted of Sloppy Joe's, a hamburger recipe with all kinds of vegetables; chocolate pudding, raw vegetables and apples. One patrol is assigned as cleanup for each meal, but each girl is responsible for her own individual dishes and washes them by putting them in cheesecloth sacks, .nking them in boiling, clorinated water, and hanging them on the line to dry. Later that e ning, the girls had a song-fest and games around the camp fire. After a hearty breagfast, the troop "trenched the tents" in case of rain and left on their hiki)unch into the Pio neer area which overlooks the tiollav Thorn thpv nrnntirp onokn'ots and climbed bigfihould vce -tot 'the Democra- trees. .

At the Eugene clinic, Ore gon veterinarians heard James F. Short, state director of the department of agrlcul ture, comment on recent reor ganizational procedures In his department. Short, praising the veteri narians as "dedicated men, said he had given full divi sion status to veterinary serv ices in his department. The convention passed a number of resolutions con cerned with public health. One of these, noting the in crease in transmission of dis eases from animal to man urged that a doctor of veterl nary medicine be appointed to all city, county and other locaO agencies or boards charged with responsibility for protecting the public health.

'Hold-Over1 Fire From Storm Spotted A lightning fire, spotted Thursday in the Box creek area near Butte Falls, was being mopped up Friday by patrolmen of the state depart ment of forestry. The fire was a "hold-over" from the Tuesday thunder storm and was the 10th such blaze caused by the storm on state-protected land In Jackson county. Changes Remove Age Requirements for Benefit Hiring of Handicapped Cash disability payments may be made tog disabled In dividual of any age beginning in November, according to Ed ward B. Jacobson, district manager of the Medford social security office. New amendments to the So cial Security law remove the age 50 requirement for eligi bility to disability benefits. Under the new amendments, any person who Is sufficiently disabled to fulfill the require ment of the law and wha.has been employed under' Kcial security at least five years of the 10-year period immediate ly preceding the onset of their disability can become entitled to benefits, Jacobson said. As with other social secur- A New Cortisone-Like Drug At the recent meeting of the jerican Rteumatism as sociacion, in San Francisco, Dr. Joseph J. Bunim, of the National Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases, at Bethesda, Md., reported the synthesis of a new drug which Is 25 times more power ful than hy d r o cortisone in treating r h e u matoid MU-thrltis. It is Tern arkable now Oh o w small a dose of . this new bit: ALVAREZ a e x. auctou- rol, given every day, will keep many patients comfayt able. Unfortunately, there can be a few slight side-effects, but they are said not to be as bad as those of the original cortisone. Because the experts plan to spend another year testing the drug, it -will be useless for people to write asking me where they can get some of it. Smokijfl and Heart DisetuK I see that the American Heart arbction has report ed on a study that showed that death rates from heart attacks are from 50 to 150 per cent higher among heavy smokers of cigag-ttes than among non - smokers. Which means, probably, that the number of cigarette smokers will now increase by the usu al 3 per cent! Shaking Head or Hand A while ago I commented which showed clearly how a shaking hand - not due to Parkinson's disease - can be inherited through several gen erations. Now I read that in Sweden, Taga Larsson and Torsten Sjogren hav studied 210 cases of "essentiaU trem or," and have traced the de scent of all but two back to a few now well known an cestors who had this disease. Fortunately, the shaking tends to show ut only in later lite, and usually it does not much handicap tne person. Children Who Wet Bed Dr. Bertil Hallgren studied 230 beaj-wetting children in hosnitals in Stockholm, to gether with 702 of their par ents or brothers or sisters, and found 1$ who also wet the bed abnormally late in life. This study shows . that there is a large hereditary in fluence on the poor child who cannot stay dry at night. Certainly, he or she should never be sneered at or scold ed or punished. Today some urologists say the condition can be cured by dilating the bladder so that it can hold much more urine. by sending 25 cents ana a large, stamped self-addressed envelope with your request to Dr. Walter C.
