OREGON The Medical Roundup Emeritus Consultant In Medlclno mayo tunic Emeritus Prnfnsor of Medicine Mayo Clinic Regliter and Tribune Syndicate. 1S63) Alvarez Languag DUordaii In Children Dr. Hollie E. McHuoh. dl' rector of the study of hearing and language disorders in the Montreal unu IX j - I drcn's Hospi- - I tal. has writ ten the best study 1 have seen on this subject. The most impor tant point which Dr. Me- j Hugh brings out is that 42 per cent of the many children with speech disorders who were studied, were found to have more than one handicap. For instance, in half of them the main reason learning to talk was a problem was due to defective hearing. In 29 per cent, there was an injury to the brain; in 13 per cent, there was a mental slowing up, and in 8 per cent there was some severe emotional disturbance and perhaps even an early schizophrenia. It would be a wonderful thing if every child - especial ly with multiple handicaps -could have at least one good check-up in a great medical center by a group of special ists. It would be difficult for any one single man to make "OIL TO BURN" Mobilhett S t H Green Stamps MEDFORD FUEL CO. 772-2111 all of the several examina tions that must be made before one can say with certainty why a child is not learning to talk. Free Cancer Tests I read that the Cancer Cy tology Foundation of America, with central offices at 115 East 69th St., New York 21, N.Y., is making tests like the Papanicolau tests - in which the cells found in the mucus that comes away from the womb are stained and studied by an expert. Many physicians now can mail their material to the Foundation's laboratories and get back a report. Each free test must be accompanied by a signed note from a quali fied physician or osteopath stating that the patient is de serving of the free service. As these Foundation people say, if every woman, especial ly over 30 or 40 years of age, would have this test made every year, there would be almost no deaths from cancer of the cervix. Unfortunately, now only 10 per cent of the women in the United States are receiving the test. Independence Voters Approve School Work Independence, Ore. - IUPD - Voters have approved a $580, 000 bond issue for construc tion" of an eight-room ele mentary school on the eastern edge of Monmouth, new class rooms at the Henry Hill junior high school in Independence, and additions to Central High School.

Timber Sales Show Buyer Confidence E u g e n e-WPU-A review of timber sales in the Willa mette National Forest indi cates the confidence of buy ers in the wood products mar kets, according to the park supervisor.

Legislators To Get Reply Opportunity Portland -IUPII- Members of the state legislature will be given an opportunity to reply to Gov. Mark Hatfield's twice monthly television program, but only if the principle of fairness arises. Mm Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. WATKINS (Reqitttr end Tribune Syndicate, 1963) Nature Provides Effortless Winterising for Creatures Without any conscious ef fort or thought on their part, all God's creatures, by a wise provision of Nature, are pre pared for the advent of win ter. None of them has to waste a precious minute of life in getting ready. It is all taken care of for them. Some of those which are the more fortunate escape tne cold by migrating to a warm er climate. Some mammals migrate, not because they must escape the cold, but be cause of a food shortage. Oth ers journey because of the press of numbers. Any bird whose main diet consists of insects would be in a pretty bad spot if it re mained in an area where all the insects were frozen or un attainable. The birds with the physical equipment necessary to dig insects from trees or logs, such as most members of. the woodpecker family, brave the winter woods and the winter winds. They even get by in sub-zero tempera tures. They have also made a few plans; they know where there is a cavity in a tree . . . where Portland Business Buildings Sold Portland - IUPD - The down town Failing and Park build ings have been sold for more than $2 million. The prop erties were purchased from the Failing Estate by Mclvin Mark Properties. The Failing building is 12 stories high and the Park building is 6 stories. they can stay during wild, blustery nights or when the day is drenched with sleet and rain. They adjust them selves to chilly conditions and allow other birds to migrate to some distant spot where the air is warm and the sun is bright. Not Forgotten Those small creatures with four feet who must walk in the snowy woods and fields have not been forgotten, ei ther, by a thoughtful Nature. Their fur grows thick and heavy. Some even change their color to be less conspic uous against a snow covered backdrop. Those creatures who just can't stand the thought of walking in the snow with bare feet, and couldn't find food, anyway, after the frost has killed plants on which they prefer to feed, retire to a deep nest in a burrow and sleep so soundly they never even hear the cold wind whis tling in the bare trees. Such a creature is the woodchuck. He will stay underground un til February, at least. The chipmunk knew there would be many days when he wouldn't want to gad about in the cold, so he laid in a goodly supply of food for just such a contingency. He didn't save for a rainy day, but he did provide for a series of cold ones. The frogs, warned by the cooling water of the pond, didn't wait for the ice to form on the surface. They knew where the mud was deep and warm. They would not be able to breathe while they were down there, but they were not going to do any exercizing either, so they wouldn't need much oxygen. Almost To Stop Nature slowa their bodily processes down to an almost complete stop. They- don't think about it; they don't re gret their inability to fly away to a warmer puddle. They just settle down in the friendly mud. Besides, it's not too lonely there in the mud. There are salamanders, tur tles and many other aquatic forms there-or there will be when the weather above is cold. Oh yes, the insects ... the most numerous of all the cre atures. They don't fly away, burrow in the ground or hide in the mud. But they are not overlooked. In their bodies a chemical action takes place. They make their own anti freeze, not unlike that kind you put in your car radiator. Yes, it was a wise Nature that provided for all of them. She has a clever and well-laid plan. Eagle Point School Board Asks Funds The Eagle Point school board has asked the Jackson county court for an additional allocation of O and C timber receipt funds per Jackson county school census child. An additional $15 per cen-1 sus child over the present $10 j allocation would be used to offset bond and interest funds in school districts so the state would not withhold equaliza tion payments to districts, the board stated. It also would give the dis tricts' taxpayers some relief, according to the letter read in county court Wednesday. The county court took the letter under advisement. Corvallis (UPD C. H. Wood cock, a former mayor of Cor vallis and prominent banker for nearly 40 years, died here Wednesday after an illness of several weeks. f)24--37-43 y 6474-84 jf TAUIUS $!is apr. ai MAY 21 ,25-38-52-57 59-65-72 GIMINI MAY 22 J?
