the last drug I would want
to give him would be an anti

SENATOR NEWBRY
OUTSTANDING
In a letter dated May 7,
1962. Anthony Yturri, Senate
Republican Minority Leader
said; "It was my pleasure to
serve with Senator Newbry dur
ing the 1961 Legislative Ses
sion. I had ample opportunities
to observe and work with Lynn
Newbry. You may rest assured
that Senator Lynn Newbry was
a studious, reasonable and OUT
STANDING legislator. He had
the interest of his constituents
at heart and worked hard on
their behalf. They were well and
bly represented.
"You may also rest assured
that it is not his inclination to
waste taxpayers money and to
demand that the objects of ex
penditures be well justified."

How to find out which kind
of Mutual Fund may be
right for you.
Start by reading Harris, Upham' s new study on this
timely and vital subject. We will send it at no cost.
Everybody's talking mutual funds these days. For a
century in Europe they've been flourishing, but they are
comparatively new in this country.
And there are more kinds and varieties of mutual funds
than there are Smiths in the telephone book.
Thus you cannot just say, "Mutual funds are fine. I'm
going to invest in one." No!... the big question is what
kind of mutual fund suits you. Your investment goal.
Your special, individual financial set-up.
The best thing to do is to talk to a specialist at Harris,
Upham who will be happy to explain the risks, cost, and
advantages of mutual funds. The next best thing is to ask
for the study on the subject our Research Department
has prepared.

ble vision, severe diiziness,
an inability to talk, weakness
in an arm and hand, or mark
ed numbness somewhere. In
such cases a neurologist (ex
pert in nervous diseases) and
an angiologist (expert on dis
eases of arteries) ought to be
consulted.
They are likely to make
what is called an angiogram
of the arteries In his neck
and in his brain, and if one
of the main arteries is partial
ly plugged-up, an artery sur
geon will operate and open
it up. Often, then, the results
are miraculous.
Little Strokes
Then there are the little
strokes which so many of us
get after we are 50 or 60.
They can produce perhaps mo
mentary dizziness or momen
tary loss of the normal sense
of balance, or a little woozi
ness. In some cases the victim
will have the little stroke dur
ing sleep, and will wake un
able to work, and perhaps
with much of his memory
gone. These little strokes rare
ly produce any weakness of
any muscles or any marked
numbness.
The symptoms often disap
pear in a matter of minutes
or hours. Brain pathologists
show me that these little
strokes are due usually to a
plugging-up of a small artery
or even a tiny microscopic
artery in some part of the
brain. The taking of an anti
coagulant drug can save a
man from getting these little
strokes.
There is another type of
stroke which is due to the
plugging-up of a little artery
in the brain by a small piece
of a blood clot, located per
haps in a badly functioning
"auricular appendage" of the
heart.
Many persons who tend to
get a stroke because of a
very high blood pressure can
sometimes now have the pres
sure lowered by drugs, or an
operation for an obstructed
artery supplying a kidney.
Dr. Alvarez has written a
booklet, "Little Strokes,"
which goes into greater detail
on this subject than column
space will allow. To obtain it,
send 25 cents and a stamped,
self addressed envelope with
your request to Dr. Walter C.

Psoriasis
I keep getting hundreds of
letters from people who have
the very common skin dis
ease, called psoriasis. It ap
parently is inherited, and
hence runs through families.
Like so many inherited dis
eases, with treatment it often
can be kept under control,
but the tendency to recurrent
attacks may not be removed.
I have to tell "of these in
quirers that I would never
think of prescribing for a skin
disease, the course of which
I cannot watch. It is hard
enough for a skin specialist
t" help people 'ith psoriasis,
even when he can see them

out different medicines.
Some people have a mild
form of the disease which
bothers them only occasional
ly, while others have, a very
distresing form; also, in' some
cases, the spots come out on
the face or arms or legs where
they cause embarrassment.
With this disease there are
reddish areas with fine little
silvery scales on them.
There are a number of
drugs and treatments which
often will clear up an attack
of psoriasis. What is sad about
many skin diseases is that
one person may get relief
with a drug which has no ef
fect on the next half dozen
patients. Worse yet, often a
skin specialist will clear up
the spots of psoriasis, but
months later when the patient
returns with a relapse, the
drug which formerly worked
so well may not do much.
Then others will have to be
tried.
This is why I have to say
to all people who write me
begging for a prescription for
psoriasis, the best thing I
know of to do is to go to a
good skin specialist and then
keep going to him until he
either gets results or throws
up his hands in despair.
Sometimes forms of radiation
like Grenz rays or ultra-violet
rays will help a great deal.

volves the scalp, the finger
nails and the joints.

DEPRESSED AREAS LAW IN ACTION
In Lowell, Mass., a New England area in which unemploy
ment has for years been a sickening 50 to 100 per cent above
the national average, a new electronics firm recently was
formed which will directly employ 110 workers, indirectly
provide Jobs for almost as many more in services and supply
ing. The firm started with $150,000, of which two-thirds came
from a government loan, 20 per cent from a local bank, the
balance from an industrial foundation.
In Biddeford-Sanford, Maine, another long depressed New
England area, a lumber processing operation also was recent
ly set up in a former textile machinery plant. A government
loan provided $433,000 to help finance the purchase of plant
and machinery for "finger joining" a process which con
verts low-grade lumber into clear lumber. ,The balance came
from banks and a development corporation. The new plant
will directly employ 170 workers, indirectly create jobs for
750 more.
In New England alone, there are 16 regions of persistent
and substantial unemployment which have been designated
as eligible tor help under the depressed areas law (The Fed
eral Area Redevelopment Act, or ARA), passed one year
ago this month.
In this period, $1 million in ARA loans has gone to New
England industries, $100,000 has been granted for research,
1,100 unemployed workers are getting retraining under the
law. This is "concrete action," says the Federal Reserve
Bank of Boston in a scholarly review of the program and
the conservative bank concludes:
"One important result of the ARA program is the in
creased activity and concern the local and state leaders in
New England have shown since these new redevelopment
weapons have become available. If the New England redevel
opment communities continue their activities both within
and beyond the framework of the Area Redevelopment Act,
it is quite likely that many of these 'depressed' areas will find
that they have lost this label that they have held so long."
The ARA has been slow in getting rolling understand
able since it is so new a weapon but it is speeding up now.
By June 30, ARA Administrator William L. Batt Jr. expects
to have approved $60 million for 100 or more projects, enough
to create 75,000 jobs. The total authorization for loans and
grants under the act is $375 million oyer a four-year period.
The New England depressed areas have received a
major pari of the assistance to date because they have
done their homework organised the local development
groups required by the law. prepared the necessary "Over
all Economic Development Program (OEDP). demonstrated
initiative. The ARA assistance breaks down into five key
classifications. Specifically:
(1) Occupational retraining of workers in new skills. Over
40 per cent of the 1,100 New England workers already being
trained are getting skills as machine tool operators.
(2) Industrial and commercail loans out of a revolving
fund of $200 million at 4 per cent. The New England regions
have received one-third of all ARA loans made so far.
(3) Loans and grants for public facilities sewers, roads,
parks. These are primarily for less developed regions than
New England.
(4) Technical assistance. An example is the $100,000
granted to the New Bedford Institute of Technology Research
Foundation for a study of ways to improve the scallop and
flounder industry, a big occupation in New Bedford.
(5) Urban planning and renewal benefits. Grants for this
planning totaling $219,00 have been made to 18 New England
municipalities.
This 1961 law represents one milestone on the way to
solving the problem of long-term joblessness, the 1962 Man
power Retraining Act represents a second. Now we must
really get to the basic answer to the problem accelerating
our economic growth so the millions of jobs needed are
created.
