Allowable Culls Increased in Three Klamath Districts Yreka-The allowable cut in the Klamath National forest will be increased from 170.8 million board feet to 183.4 million board feet, Forest Su pervisor Charles A. Yates has announced. The increase has been ap proved by the forest service's office in Washington, D.C. Yates said the net increase reflects changes in the allow a b 1 e cut for the Yreka, Seiad, Goosenest and Salmon river .working circles. New allowable cuts in the admin istrative units were calculat ed after recent reinventories and boundary changes. The reinventory and other work done for the new man agement plan was under the supervision of Forester John S. Spencer Jr., who is now assistant district ranger on the Goosenest district, Assist in Work Assisting in the work were Foresters Theodore V. Kubit za, Marcus W. Petty, Richard C. Nute and Everett R. Win ter. The Yreka working circle's allowable cut was increased from 11.5 to 13.3 million board feet, Yates said, be cause part of the old Horse creek working circle was added to it. Another factor in the increase is the successful establishment of several thou sands of acres of plantations in the Haystack burn area. The Seiad .working circle, made up of the Seiad valley and Horse creek circles, was lowered from 25 million to 21 million board feet, partly be cause of a reduction in acre age in the Horse creek circle, Yates said. An increase to 36.1 million board feet from 30 million for the Salmon river working circle is largely due to more accurate inventory data, he said. Actual realization of the large cut is predicated on suc cessful solution of remaining road access problems. The largest increase was in the Goosenest working circle, which combines the old Ball mountain and Goosenest cir cles, Yates noted. Allowable cut rose from 13 million board feet to 21.7 million. Boundary changes were made to give greater flexibil ity in location of sale areas, he said. The remaining three working circles in the forest have been reinventoried and new allowable cuts probably will be announced for the Happy Camp, Somes Bar and Scott river working circles within the next 18 months.

The Medical Roundup JJ Emeritus Consultant in Medicine Mayo Clinic Emeritus Professor ol Medicine Mayo Clinic (Register and Tribune Syndicate, 1961) A Book on the Very Deaf Child 'Through the Barriers of Deafness and Isolation," ed ited by Dr. Boris V. Morkovin and Lucelia M. Moore (Macmillan ) is a valuable book on the care of the de cidedly deaf child. It is written by a group of per sons all ex- Aivarei perts in the handling of children who can not hear, and it should be of great value to all parents and teachers of such children. Par ents of deaf children will get great comfort and encourage ment out of the chapter by Dr. James C. Marsters, a dentist who, starting out in life very deaf, has succeeded well in ev ery one of the many activities which he has taken up. Very helpful is the appendix which contains the names and ad dresses of scores of Hearing and Speech Clinics and exam ining centers; also, residential and day schools for deaf chil dren, and Member Agencies of the American Hearing Society all over the country. Is There a Diet for Gallstones? I just saw a sweet lady of 60 whose life has been made utterly miserable by a diagno sis of a single gallstone float ing around in a normal gall bladder. What has upset her has been that her kindly doc tor has prescribed a very strict diet, and she is nearly going out of her mind, trying to follow it to the letter. For 60 years, she has been heal thy, she has had a perfect di gestion, and so has always been able to eat anything she liked. She has never had any abdominal pain and, certain ly, never a gallstone colic. The stone was discovered accident ally when an x-ray film was made of her abdomen. I am sure that if many of my old "stomach-specialist" friends had found it, they would have said, "You prob ably have had that stone for 40 years, since your daughter was born, so why get excited about it now. It has never bothered you, and the chances are better than 50-50 that it will never bother you, so why not leave it alone and forget about it?" So far as I can remember, in my many years, at Mayo's, my old friends in the "stom ach section" never gave a diet for gallstones. I know I never did, unless perhaps the patient was having much in digestion. I have always known what the supposed "gallstone diet is. It can be found listed in most of the books, and it is largely a diet Jackson County Federal brings more convenient business hours to its ise customers.

Probably because bile helps in the digestion of fats. But in the presence of a gallstone in a normally functioning gallbladder there is no abnor mality in the flow of bile into the bowel. Even when the gallbladder is so diseased that it is not functioning, the bile from the liver still flows into the bow el, and commonly the diges tion of fats is perfect. I have asked hundreds of people with gallstones if they had any trouble digesting fats, and all but a few of them said "No." In the cases of thousands of these persons it seems silly to give them any diet of any kind because already they have the digestion of an os trich. The patient often wants a diet that will dissolve the stones, but there is none. Per haps the doctor has a vague idea that the diet will keep more stones from forming, but in many cases there is no need for this because the sac is so packed full of stones one couldn't possibly get another in! As a life-long teacher of medical students, it was my job to tell them why we doc tors advise certain treatments. Neither I nor my colleagues at Mayo's could ever explain1 why anyone should give a diet for gallstones, especially when the patient has a perfect digestion. For answers to other ques tions on gallstones and gall bladder disease read Dr. Al varez' booklet by that name.

Main, Medford AahUrwi tkftnth - 337 East Main, Ashland Sending Psychotic Persons For a Vacation on a Ranch In the last year or two some 505 mentally disturbed pa tients from the Texas State Hospital were taken camping, in groups of 60. They went to a ranch, where they lived in cabins. Attendants took care of them, but there was no doc tor or psychiatrist in resi dence. The men and women hiked about and fished. Each group stayed for from two to three weeks. No doors were locked. No one attempted sui cide, no one made trouble, and only one patient tried to run away. Men and women were allowed to go about to gether. Many of the patients were much improved. They said they had learned to "get along with people," and many felt they were so much better they could go back into so ciety and live normally. As one camper said, "If here I can get along with people this well, I could do it back home." Obviously, not every psychotic person in a state hospital can be taken care of in a camp, but the fact that 505 could be cared for so easily and successfully is re markable. It may mark the be ginning of a new trend in the care of the mentally disturbed.
