The Medical Is There Dang.r In X-raying Ta.lh? After a lot of scary articles In lay magazines, some people have become afraid even to have their teeth or their chest x-rayed. One woman writes me to day saying, "My den t i s t tist says there is absolut e 1 y no danger, but why then, Aivrei when he turns on the switch, does he always go back of the screen?" I have no fear at all of getting x-rayed, and for 36 years now,. I have had a check-up every year in which my chest, stomach, and bowel were x-rayed-often also my teeth. But if I were x-raying people all day, I would have to avoid an over-exposure; .and so I would stand back of the screen. In most x-ray departments today, every ..worker has a little piece of apparatus about as big .as a (mall match-box attached to his coat. With this, he can -check up every so often to see that the total dosage of x-rays which he gets every v month is not too large.

Many of these pioneers, be fore they learned that the rays were dangerous, got theri skin changed a bit so that it looked like that of an old man. But many of them, like Dr. Can non and Dr. Pfabler, lived to a ripe old age. So far as I have heard, most of them died of a disease that was not defi nitely related to their early over-exposure to the rays. The important point is that experts do not worry about even a yearly check-up with x-rays. People can take com fort in the fact that, today, x-ray films are being made "so fast" that they require only a small fraction of the exposure used a few years ago. . Canker' Sores in the Mouth - For some 35 years, I have kept saying in lectures and in print that In my experience painful little white canker sores in the mouth-which last for five days and then go away-are due to the eating of some food. For years, I suf fered tortures with . these sores, and then my old friend, Dr. Albert Rowe of Oakland, Longing to live in a trailer?

Then, by keeping a list of the unusual foods I had eaten the evening before a canker sore came, I soon found that my enemy was chocolate. Since then, by leaving choco late alone, I have had no more canker sores, and I have helped scores of people to get relief, also, by giving up some food. Some persons got their sores from chocolate, and others from other foods, such as tomatoes or oranges or pineapple. They had to keep a record to discover the food. A canker sore begins as a little sore bleb. The top of this sloughs off, leaving a lit tle round, painful ulcer with a white floor. In my case, al ways on the fifth day, the pain went and the ulcer healed. For many, the hay fever season is just around the corn er. If you have any kind of allergy, you'll want to read Dr. Alvarez' booklet, "Al. lergy, Hay Fever and As thma."

Milan Fair Shows Interest of U.S. In Common Market New York - (UPI) - If more figures were needed to show extent of U.S. interest in the opportunities of the European Common Market, Dr. Ugo Morabito says, they could be found in what has happened in one year to enrollment In the 40th Milan Fair. A year ago, 513 U.S. firms had exhibits at this, the most all-embracing of the world's permanent trade fairs. Two years ago, there were 496. This year, when the Milan Fair got under way April 12, at least 530 American companies have exhibits. Interest Stirred Morabito is c o m m e r cial counselor of the Italian Em bassy at Washington. In that post he has helped to co-ordinate the activities of Italian trade commissioners in New York, Chicago, New Orleans, Los Angeles and San Francis co who, together with repre sentation from Washington, have stirred the present Amer- PLENTY OF FREE PARKING Premium v J SmsI FULLY COOKED X LLzJ PICNICS tg) io Buy Now n J rv) lb for Easter! v- PINEAPPLE MIX OR MATCH cans (UPI) ican industrial interest in the fair. "The Milan Fair is not like a 'world's fair,' or like the county fairs in the United States," Morabito explained. "One can go where the buyer and seller of goods in inter national trade can meet and examine opportunities - and sit down and make a deal." Easy To Do Business "Buyers from all over Europe - and most of the na tions of the world - come to Milan for the fair," continued Morabito, who was in New York on a business trip con nected with the enterprise. Everything has been set up to make it easy to do business, While the public is admitted most of the time, some days are set aside for attendance by buyers and sellers only." The exhibits range from an tiques to aircraft, from nuclear power applications to live stock and poultry. LIMIT RIGHT lb. PRICES EFFECTIVE THROUGH SUNDAY In the Day's News By FRANK Japanese vignettes: Washing machines and TV have swept Japan like a prai rie fire. As yet, refrigerators and household freezers have not caught on to any consid erable extent. Why not? The explanation offered in reply to questions is that by long habit the Japanese peo ple prefer to shop every day in small quantities. rjiHE area of Tokyo, now the world's largest city, is ap proximately 300 square miles. The streets aren't laid out in the checkerboard pattern that is common throughout the United States, and in much of the rest of the world. They just ramble in whatever direc tion will take them to where they need to go. And over much of Tokyo's area there are no street numbers. How do you find people? The answer offered in reply to that question is that you keep ringing doorbells and asking where so-and-so lives until you find somebody who can tell you how to get to his house. rpHE University of Tokyo now has about 20,000 stu dents, and the list of appli cants for admission is long. In Japan, you don't just take a notion to go to college and then go-to the University of Tokyo, or elsewhere. You have to pass a long and rigid series of examina- Independence Migrant Center Receives Praise Salem -0IPD- The Oregon Agriculture Department has praised the migrant commu nity center pioneered by citi zens in the Western Oregon town 01 Independence. James F. Short, state agri culture director and chairman of the governor's committee on migratory labor, said In dependence "has set an out standing example tor Oregon of community friendliness and good relations with seasonal working visitors without whose presence many of our crops would not come to full harvest. A minister In Independence conceived the idea of a mi grant community center last year. Merchants, church and lay leaders, and the citizenry in general contributed money, equipment and time to estab lish the center in a rented building on Main St. Students H.lp The Oregon College of Edu cation student body at Mon mouth gave $75 toward stereo record player for the center, which is stocked with books, games, furniture, a writing table and supplies, floor lamps, a television set, magazines, pictures, potted plants, a ping pong table, card tables, and other items. There Is even a children i corner, with toys. Last summer the center was open Friday nights, all day Saturday and Saturday nights, Sundays until 10 p.m. and on rainy week day afternoons when harvesting slowed down.

They are narrow and crooked. And CROWDED beyond belief. We think we have traffic jams in America. We just don t know anything about traffic jams. We need to come to Japan to find out what traffic congestion can really be like. Broadly and generally speaking-there may be excep tions to this rule, but if so they do not meet the tourist eye-they have only two lanes. Traffic runs bumper to bump er. Speed limits are low-of necessity. There Isn't room for even moderately high speeds. Keep to the left, inciden tally, is the rule of the road. I It, fr I i m I i lWrS PERMANENT ' IIS?

High speed modern roads need to be built on flat land -or at least reasonably flat land. In Japan flat land is scarce, since 75 per cent of the country's area is moun tainous, and what there is of it is needed to grow crops on and to build houses on. Houses in Japan are so closely spaced that In order to build the kind of highways we have in America TOO MANY HOUSES WOULD HAVE TO BE PUT OUT OF COMMISSION. That would create social problems here in this jam-packed land.
