MEDFORD, ORE THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1961 In East Germany Mothers Work, State Babysits Leipzig, East Germany-fUPI -In Leipzig's Rosenthal Park on sunny spring days one can see groups of small children playing games or spinning hula hoops under the super vision of girls In their 20 s. i The children, all under ' school age, are there because their mothers have been en couraged to work to help al- leviate East Germany's press ing labor shortage. ' East : Germany's state-con trolled nurseries are not de signed just to take a child off mother's hands for a few hours. : . If the child is small enough -four months to about a year- , and-a-half - the nursery will care for it night and day, six days a week. The mother picks up the child on Satur day night when she finishes work and brings him back on Monday. Children from one-and-a half to about six can be in the nurseries eight hour! : each day, and school age ciu.- , dren can be placed in special classes after .. their regular SChOOl hours. :. The charge is 3 marks (about 78 cents) a week. : ,i A Leipzig university itu dent who guided visitors about the city , said "almost all" , young husbands and wives in this area have jobs. " i He estimated that 60 to 70 .. per cent of the children spend part of their time in the nurseries, which are set up v frequently In the factories where their parents work. The girls who supervise the nurseries receive a 10-week training course, he said. They are paid an average working ' wage here-between 4S0 and 600 marks ($100 to $150) monthly. The student said the Com munists have instituted an elaborate system of rewards of East Germany's population shortage. (It now has a popu- latlon of about 17 million compared to S3 million In West Germany. More than 3.9 million refugees have gone to the West since the end ' of World War II), A family receives 800 marks ($128) for Its first child, 780 marks ($187) for Its second, 800 marks 03200) for its third and 1000 marks ($250) for its fourth, the student said. For additional children the family receives BOO marks each, and from the seventh on up Communist Party Chief V alter Ulbrloht is an honor ary godparent. ' The student said children are allowed to receive only ' good German names," You couldn t - name one Bobby," he said. He added that the state has special program for helping unwed mothers, and requires the fathers to contribute 30 marks ($7.30) each month un til the child is 18. "I know all about this," he commented wryly, "because I'm paying for one myself." Fcr Your Princess 7068 Jf For your Princess-the ever popular princess dress! For school or dates with Dad.

Watkins . (Reenter & Trlbonc Syndicate, 1061) Sage Was Believed To Bring Wisdom He's quite old now hut ho still remembers his disillu sionment when, as a young man, he "was as bald as a door-knob," and was told tn "bathe his head twicp n rlav with a strong solution of sage-water; and once a day take a tnblespoonful of it." He was to gently massage a generous amount of the liq uid into the scalD. He rempm- bers that he faithfully per- luimeu me rue every clay for "at least a year." anH "swal lowed at least a barrel of the aromatic sage-flavored wa ter." However, the gentleman is as bald as ever. Die Hard Such superstitions die hard The common garden herb, with the square stems and the wooly leaves, known as sage" has figured rjrettv prominently in various "cures" for human ailments, for many centuries. The wisest men of the old fcoman Emnlre believed they acquired their wisdom by eating generously of sage. We still say a man of great wisdom, is a "sage." The old Romans even thought the eating of sage would prolong life. Too, their meals were pretty tasteless af fairs, so copious amounts of sage added zest to the food. The sage herb, a member of the mint family, was native to Europe; there, over a per iod of centuries, it found many medicinal uses, as well as a seasoning for food. One of the most troublesome dis eases of ancient .times was asthma. A great percentage of tne population was affected. at one time or other, with this Illness. Here, too, sage was believed to be the remedy. The leaves were dried and smoked in pipes. Unearthed ruins have brought to light many of uiese oia objects, but archeol- ogists believe the pipes were used for sage-leaf smoking, as tobacco was not used at that early age. ' The valuable sage plant, as well as the dried leaves, were transported to many coun tries, Much later the sage plant was introduced to Amer ica. It became a part of every herb garden. . Sage-tea was standard treat ment for ague, chills; and var ious other diseases. It also was supposed to be beneficial for "upset stomachs."' The ancients believed that sage, along with another old herb called "rue" would, by " growing close together, keep toads away from the garden. If the eating of sage could ' have made those old timers wiser, they should have eaten more of it, for they were pretty stupid, as a toad in a 1 garden would have been a , pretty valuable a d d i t i o n; " would have done more good" in fact, than a tankful of sage tea on a bald head. Durno Points To Damage by Floods Washington IDPD - Rep. Edwin R. Durno (R-Ore.) said ; Wednesday that floods last November and February caus ed damage exceeding $750,000 in the McKenzie River basin of Oregon. Durno said a preliminary survey made by the Army En gineers at his request showed that damage downstream from Leaburg totaled about $150,- 000 In November and reached $600,000 during the Feruary floods. Mai. Gen. William F. Cas- sidy,' director of civil works, told Durno the damage would have been more extensive if It had not been for flood con trol works already built in the river basin. ' - Funds to repair most of the damage to revetments, esti mated at $66,000, are avail able, Cassldy said. But bank protection work in other areas of major damage would cost $250,000. Such funds would have to be appropriated. ' New Chemical Element Found by Scientists Washington - (UP!) - A new I chemical element has been discovered by U. S.-.. atomic scientists, it was announced Wednesday. ". The discovery was made by . a group at the Lawrence Ra diation Laboratory at the Unl-, versity of California.
