Central 772-7113 THRIFTY GREEN STAMPS OMINOUS TRANSPORTATION CRISIS Out of every $5 Americans spend, $1 goes to transport ourselves and our goods. Most of us think of the cost of military defense as our nation's largest expenditure, but we spend twice as much on transportation, bach year. thouEh. the problems of the transportation Industry become more acute and the headlines more ominous about our transport system's lack of financial vitality. Intimately involved in this situation is David I. Mackie, chairman' of Eastern Railroad Presidents Conference. Here are Mackie's answers to questions every informed person might ask. Porter: How much money could we save if our transport system were healthy, and how costly to our nation is this ailing industry? Mackie: A study by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce stated that "the annual transportation bill would be reduced by several billions of dollars on freignt alone if competition, rather than restraint, were the touchstone of regulation. As for cost, an essential industry in the condition transportation is today- is a significant drag on our economy. And our arti fically provoked high transport costs could help price U.S. goods out of world markets. Porter: Just how bad is the present transportation situ ation? Mackie: The problem is critical. It doesn't have the dramatics of Soviet missiles in Cuba or the headline attrac tion of a murder. It is more like a cancer, slowly gnawing the patient to death. For instance, we've had a major rail road go bankrupt and a major airline saved from the same fate only by merger. In the last year for which figures are available (1961), our domestic scheduled airlines in toto and eastern railroads in toto operated at a loss. More of the same could be ahead. Porter: In the 17-page message President Kennedy sent to Congress on transportation last April - the first such mes sage in history - he diagnosed the disease and prescribed remedies. Which of Kennedy's statements do you think are most pertinent to the public? Mackie: That "the pressing problems burdening our na tional system" are "jeopardizing the progress and security on which we depend." Also that these problems are pri marily due to a "a chaotic patchwork of inconsistent and often obsolete legislation and regulation (which) does not fully reflect either the dramatic changes in technology of the past half-century or the parallel changes in the struc ture of competition." Finally, most pertinent is the President's overall recom mendation that what is needed is "greater reliance on the forces of competition and less reliance on the restraints of regulation" in federal control over transportation. Porter: If railroads were given greater freedom to com pete, what would that mean to the millions of us? Mackie: Better service at lower cost. Today inconsistent and obsolete regulation is rusting the rails, and so is govern ment subsidy to our competitors. For instance, in this fiscal year to end June 30, 1963, the federal government alone will spend SS billion for highways, aviation and water trans port more than half the annual gross operating revenues of the nation's railroads. None of this government aid is extended to railroads. If railroad competitors were to pay their share for the use they made of such government-provided facilities, every American would pay less in taxes. Porter: What are the odds on fixing up the regulatory and subsidy "patchwork" and ending the Uansportation crisis? Mackie: It is probable that President Kennedy will re peat his recommendations of last April to the new Congress. Consumers then should urge congressional apnrov?l of his proposals, if only because they'll benefit via lower trans portation charges and lower taxes. The alternative to no Congressional action undoubtedly will be more'and more bankrupt carriers and quite possibly, in the end, government ownership and operation of our transportation system. If that day ever comes, the political pork barrel will be wide open. I1LP8 JANUARY 3-4-5 The welcome mat is out! It's Open House at Equitable Savings' new office in the Medford Shopping Center.

Emeritus Consultant In Medicine Mayo Clinic Emeritus Professor of Medicine Mayo Clinic (Register and Tribune Syndicate, 1963) Heartburn Many persons suffer at times from a burning and per haps painful distress in the depth of their chest cavity. Often they will notice that it follows the eating of certain foods, or the drink ing of certain drinks, or the smoking of a certain brand Alvares of tobacco. It can also follow a blow-up of temper. I remem ber men who told me that when they lost their temper they were "on fire" for four or five days afterwards. The tendency to the disease is def initely inherited. Fortunately, it never "turns into" anything terrible; it seems to be a dis ease all by itself. Even when a man with heartburn has an ulcer, the surgical removal of that ulcer is not likely to re lieve the heartburn. Some women have severe heartburn during some of their pregnan cies. Heartburn tends to come in spells of a few days, and then it may go away for a month or more. It has nothing to do with the heart; it is due to the regurgitation of acid gastric juice into an overly sensitive gullet. Ages ago, peo ple started calling it heart burn, probably because it was a burning distress that came back of the heart. Many patients with this trouble have told me that when the burning is present, the best treatment is to take little sodium bicarbonate and dissolve it in a third of a glass of water and to sip that. When this washes the acid out of their gullet, they are comfortable. Leg Cramps and Restless Legs So many people past middle age keep asking me what to do for leg cramps at night that I feel compelled to say here every so often that the best medicine I have found to keep away my own leg cramps is drinking a glass of milk every day. This supplies the calcium (lime salts) which we all need to keep our mus cles from getting overly irritable. When people say, "Sorry, I can't' drink milk," I advise the taking at bedtime of a tablespoonful of the syrup of Neo-Calglucon. Many physi cian give five grains of qui nine for the cramps and some people tell me that this some times works. For years I have tried to find some drug that will re lieve the "restless legs" that cause so many highly nervous people to spend one miserable night after another. Some few cannot sit for long during the day. Now one of my friends who has suffered greatly from restless legs tells me that half a capsule of Gopavin (o n e- quarter grain of codeine with one-quarter grain of papavar- ine) will give her a good night's rest. I had given her the Copavin to quiet an irrita ble bowel, and now, to her great ioy, she finds that it is also a good quieter of her legs. I hope that many people with "restless legs" will get their home doctor to try the Copavin usually given to abort colds and then will write to me at Box 957, Des Moines 4, Iowa, to tell me if it works for tnem. Millions of people who go to a doctor thinking they are seriously and dangerously ill are suffering only from nerv ousness.

Gilda T. - Last week a cirl who belonged to the same so cial club as I did, before my marriage, stopped into see me on her way to Oregon. 1 hadn't seen her for nine years dui she was still very chic and attractive. She had just been divorced and was bound lor her sister's home and an introduction to a marriage able neighbor. Over coffee she let me know that Ronny had pro posed to her several times, and that he only asked me to marry him after he was sure he could never have her. She tried to make it sound as though she was sorry now, and as though I was the luck ier girl. Ronny admits this now. He says all the boys took turns proposing to Nanette, but most of them were kidding, including him. I can't believe that. And I'm hurt to learn I wasn't his first love. Ronald T. - Nanette is just a trouble-maker and always was. She has plenty of wiles and they worked on 19-year- old boys. I was one of the kids she thought she could wind around her fingers. It's true I asked her to marry me. I was 21 at the tme. And I know now that if she'd said yes, I'd have wriggled out of it all by the time I was 22. That's when I met Gilda and learned the difference be tween a silly infatuation and the real thing. Fortunately Nanette said no, and made things easy for me. I can't see why hearing about tliis now should upset Gilda. I never told her that episode because I wasn't proud of it and I didn't think it had anything to do with our love for each other. What dif ference can something that's over and done with, make now? The- Councili Lookee, Gil da. Are you bored or some thing? Trying to stir up a utile excitement irom a deaa bonfire? No matter how much you fan it, Ronald's old flame will still come out a dud! All that' Nanette was re vealing was that she'd missed the boat and she's sorry. Here she Is, nine years later, with her life still on the turbulent and worried side. And here are you two - the man she says she could have had, and the girl who has him. And what you revealed, A 3 Clackamas Dog Racing Proposed Portland -IUPII- Dave Funk, operator of dog tracks in Arizona and Florida and di rector of horse racing at Port land Meadows for five years, has proposed to the Portland Racing Commission a plan for dog racing in Clackamas coun ty. Funk outlined plans for a covered track and enclosed stands. Ed Latourctte, of the Clack amas County Commission, said the letter had been for warded to him, but no action was immediately taken on Funk's proposal. Gilda, was some of the old time inferiority complex whenever nervy, assured NflnnttA urn nrniinrl fiiirfflv you don't consider her a riv al at this late date? If you do, Ronald's version of the old "affair" should reassure you. Evidently Nanette has need for raking up the dead coals of the past, for there lie her days of shining glory. Gilda has no such need. Her present and future are bright enough. We leave Gilda with this piece of wisdom formulated by a happily-married woman after a similar encounter with one of her husband's former loves. "It's not so important to be the first woman in a man's life. What really counts is to be the last." NEW AMBULANCE SERVICE We believe Medford needs an economy am bulance.
