Jarm was swelling. She con
tinued to complain, the court
i said, and was readmitted to
"the hospital for treatment but
"the cast was not removed or
t loosened.
? The cast was on for five
; weeks and during that time

; "terrific pain." Mrs. Living
ston charged that when the
J cast was removed, a piece of
; plaster was imbedded in the
f!esh inside her arm at the
",elbow joint. She sued.
. The high court in a de
cision by Justice Pro Tern Dal
"King said the case was "prop
erly submitted to the jury"

;and Mrs. Robert E. Sullivan.

invalidation o the contract to
;buy the building after it was
"learned the structure overlap
ped its property line.
." In another decision written
by Justice King the court said
'"whether intentionally or not,
!the buyers were led to believe
that the building they were
purchasing was well within
the property lines and that
-those lines were misrepre
sented to them."

'derson was reversed.

Elderly Said To
Lack Insurance
Washington -(UPtt- Less than
half the nation's elderly per
sons have any form of hospi
tal insurance, the Public
Health Service estimated
Wednesday.
A PHS report said 48 per
cent of the men and women
65 and older have hospital
insurance, 3? per cent have
surgical insurance and only
10 per cent have insurance
covering doctor bills for non
surgical care.
The report said two-thirds
of all Americans have some
form of health insurance. But
coverage varies widely ac
cording to age, income and
location.
The statistics were expect
ed to bolster demands in Con
gress for a medicai care pro
gram for the aged operated
and financed through the so
social security system.

The Souse 'Drinks Like
Fish?' No He Doesn't
Fish Don't Drink
In the entire world of liv
ing creatures, man is the only
one who drinks liquids other
than milk or waier. Of the
nine hundred thousand kinds
of beings he is unique in this
respect.
Of course, whatever he
drinks contains mostly water,
but he is after the flavor, the
reaction, or the excuse. His
body chemistry, like that of
the ant, the eiephant, the rep
tile, or the bird, is dependent
on water.
Ofttimes, to describe anoth
er's drinking habits, we some
times say, "He drinks like a
fish," Probably the steady
opening and closing of a fish's
mouth gave someone the idea
the fish was gulping water
constantly.
Actually, the fish is only
breathing. The wide open
mouth pulls in the water.

which absorb the oxygen, and
force it out through the gill
covers. The fish must have
oxygen, the same as humans,
but they secure it in a differ
ent manner.
Basically, a fish doesn't
drink. Immersed con
stantly in this medium he ab-

Small Worlds
Around Us
By Lynn M. Wafittns
sorbs a small amount through 1
sne ssin by sort of an osmosis
process. Secondly, a fish nev
er sweats, no matter how fast
he swims, or how much he
exerts himself. His environ
ment changes slowly.
inere is never too sudden
a temperature change. Being!
cold Wooded, with a body:
temperature slightly higher
than his surroundings, he re
acts quickly to water changes,
seeking deeper and cooler wa
ter when the air temperature
is high, or shallow water
when conditions are more
suitable there.
In the third, ana probably
the most important aspect of
his life, the fish receives what
water he actually needs from
She food he eats, either ant
ma! or plant. Nature equipped
the fish, as weii as other crea
tures that live or feed in the
water, with a clever little trap
door in the back of the
mouth.
This small fleshy gate al
lows the fish to open its
mouth wide, but prevents wa
ter from running down the
throat. This gate works auto
matically, and guards him ail
his life. In fact it keeps him
from drowning. He doesn't
have to think about "closing
the date," he grabs a mouth
ful of food, closes his mouth,
forcing the water out of the
gill openings, swallows the
food without gulping even a
teaspoonfu! of water.
So the adage about the man
"drinking like a fish" is
meaningless. Fish are moder
ate "drinkers."
