MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORE. WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 8, 1961 Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins (Register and Tribune syndicate 1961) Unfortunately, There i a World of Parasites The little girl was terribly tiroud because she had learn ed from her doctor that she "had worms." Strangely too, some of her little friends were actually jealous; they couldn't see why she should have an the luck, as well as all the attention that goes with such a strange distinction. They ' wished they "had worms" too A small boy, whose puppy was "so lucky to be a host to worms." was envious of his dog. To him, the animal's visit to the vet and the treatment the animal received to rid it self of internal parasties, was a holiday of wonderment. The youngster bragged to all his friends, oblivious of the fact his elders looked upon the en tire episode with distaste. There are people who vehemently claim no human being could harbor a living ' worm or a colony of them within their bodies. These same folks reluctantly admit there are parasites infecting the lower animals, but never a human being. However, the disgusting truth is that every living creature on this earth some time in its life plays host to at least one form of parasite. Some may harbor many, and some are detri mental to health or to life it self. Man is no exception. He too, must be ever alert to the ravages of parasitic creatures or to living 'plants. Difficult to Eradicate Tapeworm, ringworm, pin worms, and many others, con stantly threaten to enter and, once established, are difficult to eradicate. Before the pres ent day of understanding and chemical application "having worms" was the expected ex perience of nearly every liv ing being; animal, children, as well as adults. It is a large and mostly re pulsive world, that of the ex ternal and internal parasites Their numbers and kinds are many; their habits disgusting, and their life histories only partially worked out or under stood. Few of them have been more than partly Investigated; neither is their actual purpose too well established. A parasite, either animal or vegetbale, is one who eats at the expense of another. Para sites are the creatures that so often make" the holes in a cow's hide. Along the back of some cattle are the white "grubs," "worms" whose exit from the animal's back or body at a later stage of their development, cause an other wise valuable hide to be part ly ruined. Along the backs and bodies of living fish, especially dur ing warm weather or in fish that live in warm water, are often many of these so-called "grubs." Usually these para sites are almost transparent, some even with dark colored, enlarged heads. Of course, cooking of the fish for human consumption destroys the par asites. Parasite-Helpers Parasites of various kinds have been introduced into regions for the express pur pose of attacking pests already there. In the world of the in sects, parasite-helpers assist man in the control of many insect enemies by laying para sitic eggs in the bodies of the pest, that on hatching, destroy the host. In the scheme of Nature parasites constantly are at work infesting other crea tures, and in their own pe culiar way, helping control various harmful species of in sects. There are many para sitic fungi. The smuts, mil dews, rust, and some of the molds, are all a part of this world of parasites, whose sole purpose is to feed on another. Ironic, that living creatures as well as plants should be prey ed upon by these lowly organ isms, an example of the kind of togetherness that is mostly repulsive; living together, but not one. Estimated 33 Million People Change Residences Annually By HENRY J. BECHTOLD UPI Financial Editor New York UP1) Americans are as venturesome today as they were in the early days of our country. T o change homes, jobs, occup a t i o n s and ways of living is a common oc currence, and is one of the key elements in the r:'pid uenry Bechtold and continu ous transformation of the United States. The residential mobility of Americans is something to be hold. The Chase Manhattan Bank noted that in one year some 33 million Americans move from one home to an other, or one person in every five. Most of these people move a relatively short distance, but 11 million go to a different county and half of these cross state lines, the bank reported in its latest publication, "Bus iness in Brief." These proportions seem to have held relatively constant over the years, but in prosper ous times local moving ap pears to be somewhat more frequent, according to the re port. A substantial part of this mobility consists of an inter change of people; a stream of people into an area usually is counter-balanced in large part by a movement in the opposite direction. The bank cited the 1950 fig ures which showed all of the state had received at least 10 per cent of their population from other states. The sum of this residential mobility is so great, according to the bank, that it involves the majority of the population within a few years, and nearly everyone in a liletime. No more than 3 per cent spend their whole life in one dwell ing, and not over 15 per cent always live in one county. Labor mobility was report ed being even greater than residential mobility. Some 8.5 million people a year leave one employer to work for another, and they make a total of 11.5 million shifts. Surprisingly, the bank stat ed, nearly half of these in volve a change to a different industry and a different occu pation. Another 20 per cent is to a different industry and a similar occupation, and 8 per cent to a different type of job in the same industry. Here again a great deal of the mobility represents an in terchange of people, but some industries and occupations have made not gains as a re sult of job changing. Public administration, edu cation and wholesale and re tail trade are industries which have gained workers in recent years. Agriculture has been one of the big losers. Occupation groups into which people have moved in clude professional and techni cal workers, managers, offi cials and proprietors, clerical workers and operatives. Em ployees have shifted away from unskilled labor, service and craftswork. The bank noted that nearly everyone makes at least one change during a lifetime. Work histories of more than three million people during a decade showed that two-thirds had changed jobs at least once in that period and more than one-fourth had changed three times or more. Young people, age 25-34, are notably more mobile than old er ones, and its is this age group that also changes resi dence more than twice as fre quently. The report also showed that those who are in loss-skilled occupations o'r work in indus tries with declining or fluctu ating employment opportuni ties ore more likely to change jobs. One of the chief motivating forces behind mobility defi nitely is a desire for advance ment, according to the report. In a recent year, two-fifths of all people who changed jobs did so voluntarily to improve their status. Carnegie Hero Gets 10 Years in Prison Portland - 0JPD - Donal Wal lace, 30, Portland, who once won a Carnegie award for heroism, has been sentenced to 10 years in the state peni tentiary, Wallace entered a guilty plea last week to a charge of manslaughter.
