MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. MONDAY. MARCH 6. 1961 3 Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Witkin (Raillter and Trlbuns SyndleiM. 19(1) What'i This? Th Ctt Hai Crept into Our Conversation A pretty common animal, the cat, yet these animals have some peculiar characteristics, some that even cat-owners are not conversant with in spite of the fact that the very busy coiners of apt expressions and proverbs have embellished the animal with numerous trite sayings that include the cat in their application. "It's raining cats and dogs" has come to mean a heavy downpour. There is also an erroneous reference to perm anent hostility by saying, "They fight like cats and dogs" or a "cat-and-dog af fair." All are supposed to tell the entire story of perpetual quarrel. Truthfully, however, cats and dogs do not normally fight. There is no natural ani mosity between them. No members of the entire animal kingdom fight one another. Origin Unknown It's not surprising that so many strange legends and myths have entwined their devious and twisted threads in the tapestry of the cat's background. This animal's origin is unknown, yet he has walked with saber-armed, padded feet alongside man kind for countless centuries. Cats were worshiped as something sacred in ancient Egypt thousands of years ago. Great temples were even built in their memory. Of all the animals domesticated by man the common cat is the only one which has persisently re tained the greatest number of wild characteristics. They are never subdued by punish ment; may even die in rigid captivity. By nature they are endowed with great endur ance, agility and bodily grace. Probably their stamina and hardiness gave credence to the old superstitions that they had "nine lives." But today we know that a rapidly moving motor car can cancel out all nine of them in a fraction of a second. We've always had the idea that "as quick as a cat" was something pretty fast. "Sleep ing like a kitten" certainly indicates peaceful, relaxed slumber. They say "a cat can look at a queen," and many of them do "live in the lap of royalty", for Mrs. Cat wears her crown with dignity. Bad Luck Black cats are still held in stupid awe by people who be lieve a "black cat is animal of 111 omen." The amount of static electricity generated in the fur when stroked gently also gave superstitious folks the idea there was something "pretty mysterious about a cat." The annual's ability to walk along a narrow ledge gave our language the word "cat-walk." "Cat of nine tails" figured pretty cruelly in the punish ment meted out to sailors aboard the old sailing ships. In some of the old beliefs and proverbs concerning cats, there was sometimes a shred of scientific fact, but in most instances the proverbs were pretty stupid. The coiners should have put their talents to better use because, in try ing to be original, they us ually "let the cat out of the bag."

Treasurer prior to the time of said hearing bv order of U-. Council of the Cltv of Medford D F Huson Activity ! Good For Middlt-Agod Man Every time I hear a woman saying to her husband who has had a coronary heart at- t a c k, "Don't walk fast," "Don't walk up those stairs," "Don't carry that brief case," I feel like say ing to her that there have been a n u ru bor of studies. some of them of thousands of patients, which showed that a heart attack, due to the pluging-up of a coronary ar tery or some of its branches, was seen more often in men whose work was sedentary, then in those wfiose work was heavy. In a British study, Drs. Mor ris and Crawford expressed their belief that physical ac tivity' tends to protect a per son against coronary heart disease. Men in jobs which re quire physical activity are less likely to have a heart attack in their middle years. A number of other studies have shown that often after a heart attack, it is better that a man be quickly gotten out of bed and into a chair. It is better, also, that as soon as possible he be gotten back to his job. Especially after a heart attack, when a man has no shortness of breath or pain on walking, he ought to go back to work. I regret that some people who misunderstand this state ment, when I made it recent ly, became very angry at me. They thought I was wanting to force the poor man back to work just so that he might carry his share of the national burden. Actually, what I said was that it is good for the man to get back to work. On the job he is happier; he feels better, and he is not so likely to worry about himself. Climate And Emphysema Scores of people with em physema, bronchitis, asthma and other respiratory troubles ask me if they should quit their jobs, sell their houses. and move South. They want to know if this will make them over to be like new, I doubt it. Now I find my old and good friend, Dr. H. Cor win Hinshaw, one of the coun try's experts on lung diseases, saying that in the cases of none of the diseases of the lungs - including emphysema - is climate so important as to justify a person's going to great financial sacrifice and perhaps reduction of living standards to make the move. He says, as I have often said, that before pulling up stakes, one should spend some time in the area to which one thinks of going. One should go at different times of the year because there are some windy and dusty and hot sea sons in the Southwest which can be very trying. Dr. Hinshaw says that dry ness is to be preferred over dampness and fogginess, but dryness plus dustiness can be very undesirable. Dust storms in the Southwest can be hard on a woman's nerves. Dr. Hin shaw says also that to live at an elevation over two or three thousand feet can cause discomfort if the person is a bit short of breath. Perhaps a hay fever sufferer, running away from the ragweed of the Middle West will be worse off in the desert because he is sensitive to sage brush. An other good point Dr. Hinshaw made Is that an asthmatic em physematous person can be worse If he goes somewhere where he is lonely, away from his family, and perhaps un happy and miserable. Mental Retardation In the Journal, "Heredity" F. .1. King and Barbara H. Bowman recently reported a family in which five out of the 11 children are all very low in Intelligence due to a rare disease called phenylke tonuria. The unfortunate chil dren failed to inherit a fer ment which in normal porsonn converts a food substance call ed phenylalanine into tyro Sine, which then goes out in the urine. Today, these children can be greatly helped if the doc tor recognizes their disease In tne first few days after birth. Then, if they are put on a diet poor In phenylalanine, their intelligence will not be so badly injured. Naturally, a pediatrician looks for these handicapped children when he knows that the defect has ap peared in the family. Drs. D. Y. Hsia, W. Driscoll. W. Troll and W. E. Knox have worked out a simple test which will usually reveal in a minute the fact that a certain infant car ries the defect. What do you do when you have had a heart attack?

One of the most successful books on this subject was "The Human Body," written by my old and brilliant friend, Dr. Logan Clendenning. A small paper- bound book that just came to my desk-"The Human Frame" by Giovanna Lawford - is full of beautiful illustrations show ing the bones of the body. Washington -WHI- President Kennedy's health is better than ever, Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy said Sunday. "I have never seen his health better than it's been in the last year or so." the Presi dent's brother said. Posted Wages Decides Amount of Benefits The amount of benefits payable to an individual and his dependents at retirement. if he becomes disabled, or to his survivors in case of his death, depends upon the amount of wages posted in his social security account, Ed ward B. Jacobson, district manager of the Medford social security office pointed out. The social security adminis tration is responsible for keeping an accurate and up to date record of each earn ings record; however, the co operation of employers and employees is needed In main taining these records, he stressed. A person working for some one else should be sure his em ployer gets his correct name and social security account number when he starts to work. If a pay slip or with holding statement has an in correct name or account num ber, the worker should call this to the attention of his employer. Correct Names The employer should also make sure the correct names and social security account numbers are on the quarterly reports of earnings sent to the internal revenue service, Ja cobsen said. A person who Is self-employed should pay his social security self-employment lax and report his net earnings at the end of each year if those net earnings are $400 or more. Jacobson said. These reports must be based on records of income and ex penses in connection with the trade or business, whether kept in a ledger showing in come and expenses or sales slips and invoices, or some other way-depending on the nature of the business. Copies of self - employment reports and the business records upon which they were bused should be kept for future reference. Tile social security admin istration encourages working people to check their social security accounts at least once every three years to as certain if they are getting proper credit, Jacobson said. A convenient card form for requesting a statement of the earnings reported to your so cial security account is avail able at the nearest social se curity office. The office in Medford is located at 1005 East Main St., and is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Germany Increases Value of Currency Bonn. Germany - (tfPli -West Germany has disclosed it will revalue its currency and increase the worth of the mark by five per cent to ease pressure on the Amer ican dollar abroad and halt inllation at home. The revaluation, effective today, will change the rate of exchange to four marks to the dollar. The old rate was 4.20 marks to Ihe dollar. "We have now made a Ger man contribution to the solu tion of the balance of pay ments problem, with which we fulfill our international obligations," Ludwig Erhard, economics minister, said.

Since the earliest pioneer days, Americans have traditionally owned their own homes. But not until recently did the tradition become truly national. Today 35 million American fami lies "pay rent" to themselves. This is almost twice as many as 15 years ago a dramatic increase caused by a number of important factors, including the U.S. Savings Bond Program. G. 1. Joe comes back After the War, many returning soldiers picked up a stack of Bonds bought with their service pay plus a stack their wives and sweet hearts had bought. This reserve helped pay for col lege degrees, weddings, and helped start new businesses. And it also provided the down payment on a lot of new homes. Thousands of Americans are still furnishing all or part of the down payment for their new homes with U.S. Savings Bonds. Why Savings Bonds are such a good way to build U.S. Savings Bonds are guaran teed by the Government to grow. $1 becomes $1.33 in 7 years, 9 months, and $1.93 in another ten years. You can get your money anytime, with interest. Your Bonds are replaced free, if they're lost or stolen. And you can buy them automatically on the install' ment plan where you work. Every Savings Bond you buy helps assure a peaceful future by keep ing our country strong. Why not join America's homeowners th Savings Bond way? "The Home-building Industry is 100 behind the Bond Program," my$ Mr. E. J. Burke. Jr., ol San Antonio, Texas, President, National Astociation ol Home Buildert "Savings Bonds have helped make our country strong and have mado Americans the most home-owning people in the world.
