MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON FRIDAY. JUNE 1. 1962 Dellenback and Flegel Debate Topic of Lunch Salem-fflPD-A Democratic state senator and a Republican state representative had a few words here Thursday over the topic of eating lunch. But it was all in fun, and in true bi partisan fashion they closed ranks on the matter. The exchange was between Rep. John Dellenback (R Medford) and State Sen. Al Flegel (D-Roseburg). At a hearing in the Capitol building by the legislative interim committee on education, the members began with a brief debate on whether their agenda would require them to meet today. Dellenback suggested that the committee work through the dinner hour today so the members wouldn't have to re convene this afternoon. "What do you call the 'dinner hour in Medford?" Flegel asked. "The noon luncheon, or the afternoon luncheon?" Dellenback shot right back, saying, "We work so hard in Medford that we often work straight through' Flegel cut off the banter by declaring that "we siesta in Roseburg." Oregon Supreme Court Decisions Salem-flJPD-The Oregon Su preme Court Thursday af firmed the resentencing of an Albany man to 20 years in prison after the man pleaded guilty in Linn County Circuit Court to raping his 16-year-old daughter. James Wethal Slater Gidley lost his appeal and Judge Wendell H. Tompkins, Al bany, was upheld. Gidley was given credit for some time already served, since he was resentenced af ter filing a post conviction relief petition. After serving three years in prison, Gidley complained that the trial court shouldn't have rejected his request to change his guilty plea. WAR HERO IMPROVES Nashville, Tenn. - IUPD -World War I hero Alvin York, 74, continued to show "defi nite improvement" Thursday and told officials at St. Thorn as Hospital he hoped to re turn home, "in a couple or three days."

Everybody Works At Record Clip As Market Moves New York-OTD-When busi ness is rushing, either up or down, everybody works on Wall Street. During the heavy selling waves of the first two days of this week, there was over time work at the New York Stock Exchange and late burning lights in brokers' of fices where statisticians la bored into the small hours to catch up on their margin ac counts, and to answer que ries from investors. . Machinery at Top Speed On Monday, when volume of transactions hit its highest level since 1933, the record ing machinery at the ex change went at top speed. In the stock clearing corpora tion, the nine-man staff at the big IBM machines finish ed up about 1 a.m., where ordinarily they are out about 10:30; girls who punched cards used in data processing stayed on for one to two hours after regular time partly because of the tre mendous volume of trading in the last hour. At the American Stock Exchange, workers in the clearing house corporation labored late. They came back on Tues day to another explosive day of heavy trading. Nor could they predict what might be the pace after the holiday. Phone Answers Delayed By late Tuesday morning, many brokerage houses along Wall Street and its neighbor ing canyons were scarcely able to keep up with the vol ume of telephone calls. Call ers found that in some cases, major houses did not answer for long periods. "Everybody works on days like this," said an exchange worker in the second day. "Last night you could see the lights burning late up and down along the street." "Last summer, they were working to keep up with the buy orders," said another. "Late last week and early this week they were working on the sell orders and the mar gin accounts. But anyhow, it meant work." SPELL IT, PLEASE Portland - IUPII - Oregon might have to start making bigger marriage licenses if they get any more couples like the Iranian college stu dent and the Oregon City girl who took out a license Thursday.

She had been arrested earlier in the week while dancing for a group of 19 other youths near Augusta, Kan. (UPI) Blue River Man Believed Drowned Eugene -IUPII- A Blue River man, Claude R. Fullerton, was feared drowned in the Mc Kenzie river 35 miles east of here after his canoe was found Thursday floating up side down. Fullerton, 53, had been boating near Finn Rock, some 10 miles west of Blue River. Officers were dragging for the body. KNOW THE FACTS ABOUT HEALTH CARE FOR THE AGED The Administration's health care plan now before Congress is not what you may think it is This compulsory plan, the King-Anderson Bill (HR 4222), would NOT provide all the health care the aged need. In fact, it wouldn't provide ANY CARE for many senior citizens . . . and would cover ONLY ABOUT 25 OF THE COSTS of car ing for those eligible under the plan This plan would provide no cars for thos most in need - the 3,500,000 Iderly not covered by social security. Regardless of' their health or financial problems, these people would receive no care. This plan would not pay for the ser vices of an aged patient's family doctor. This plan would not pay for drugs used outside a hospital or nursing home. Furthermore, some commonly used ef fective drugs would be denied to elder ly patients by the King-Anderson bill. This plan would not pay all hospital charges. Every patient would have to pay at least $20 and as much as $90 for hospitalization plus $20 for each complete diagnostic study. While many of the aged could not afford such charges, those who are wealthy or well- to-do could pay these bills ... get the balance of the cost of hospitalization at the expense of the working people who would be paying increased payroll taxes. & FURTHERMORE . . . The King-Anderson Bill would force all wage-earners and all employers to pay a substantial increase in payroll taxes . . . to buy health care for millions of the self-reliant who can af ford to take care of them selves.. In addition, the proposed plan would lower the quality of medical care with the Federal Government controlling stand ards of practice in the nation's hospitals. I i I i i i I I I I 1 i i i There is a better way. . . LET'S HELP THOSE WHO NEED HELP We believe all our aged should receive all the health care they need, when they, need it. We favor voluntary programs to help those who need help ... to preserve the right of the self-reliant to take :are of themselves. These programs are available now. They include private health insurance and prepayment plans for those who can afford them ... the Kerr-Mills Law for helping those among the aged who need help. write today ... to For further information ask your family doctor. 1. President John Kennedy 2. Hon. Wilbur Mills, Chmn. of House Ways and Means Committee, Washington, D.C. 3. Senator Wayne Morse 4. Senator Maurine Neuberger Voluntary health insurance is now avail able 'o all of the aged all over America, More than 9,000,000 people over 65 (53 of all our senior citizens) already have it. The Kerr-Mills law enables the individual states to guarantee to every aged American who needs help the health care he requires. The Kerr-Mills Law allows each state to provide as wide a varioty of health services as it chooses . . . puts no time limit on the individual's eligibility to receive these services. By helping only those who need help, the Kerr-Mills law avoids waste of tax dollars. d JACKS ON COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY N. J.

Edited by Mrs. Alma llenny. (Copyright ; by General Features Corp.) I Mrs. T.I.-ll Innka as though I'll be keeping house for them 1 forever. Donald I. - Where else should unmarried children live than at home? ... Mrs. T.I. - When is a par-: ent's job over? My husband j and I are close to 70 and I'm I still keeping house for our three unmarried children, two ' sons and a daughter. It looks as though this ar iangement will go on indefi-1 nitely. Maybe it's because we give them such an easy, cushy home that they don't try hard to establish their own homes. After our two other children married, 10 ! years ago, my husband and I figured the others would go off in short order and we could sell the big place and move Into a small apartment tor ourselves. But nothing ! happened. And they won't' hear of our selling the house. How can we get a break? ; We'd like some freedom from responsibility, a chance to travel, an easier life. But our children won't budge. . . Donald I. - What's wrong with an arrangement which keeps a family together under one roof? We're all living better than any of us could live alone, and there are no financial problems. My broth er, sister and I have good jobs and we chip in towards our board and laundry. My parents wouldn't be happy in a small apartment. They enjoy the two porches here, the garden and the spa ciousness of the rooms. What's the alternative? For us each to take separate apartments? Why? We all get along fine together. We'd have to keep in touch with visits and phone calls. This way, Mother and Dad have no wor ries about us. They're up on all the news every day, and it's easy to keep track of each other. Since it's unlikely that we'll marry, our best bet is to stay put. Surely Mother wouldn't turn us out, would she? The Council: All the world's a stage, Donald, and we're all role- players. Shakespeare counted seven parts for us, at least. And all your mother seems to be asking Is the chance to move on from some of the middle ones, where you and the others have her pin ioned, to the latter roles which are her due. In other words, she's up for retirement! How she spends this period should be optional, not compulsory. We hear a great deal about possessive parents who won't let go of their grown children. Here for a change is an ex ample of grown children who hang on to their parents long past the point where parents should be clung to for room, board and incidental services. Skirting the issue of wheth er the brothers and sister will marry and If not, why not, we can discuss the merits of Mrs. I.'s request for a lessen ing of her housekeeping and hnmemaking duties. It seemed natural enough for Mamma to keep on, all these years, with Business as Usual, That meant having a hot meal ready every evening, taking phone mes sages, having suits pressed, nursing colds and upset stom achs and the rest of the rou tine that spells Mamma from infancy on. But actually Mam ma's responsibility for active care of her young ended when they were 18, or maybe 21. Anything subsequent was "gravy." Now let's establish the fact that Mrs. I. and her husband are entitled to open a new chapter in their lives. If they elect to stay on in the big house with their children, then then a living arrangement should be worked out which relieves them of the mechan ics of keeping house, which frees them from primary re sponsibility. This means that Donald and the others will have to plan their own menus, pick up their own shoes, pos sibly chip In for a housekeep er. Mother and Dad are to be cared for, pampered by the kids, not vice versa any long, er! If Mrs. I.'s rut Isn't erased In this way, then her alterna tive is to sell the house and move. How about selling it to the children since they like It so much?
