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

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.

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.
David R. Gibney said that
on the average winning bids
are 50 per cent above the ap
praised value. He added that
during the period of July 1
through July 31 of last year,
50 out of 54 sales were above
the appraised value.
Gibney said the forest in
tends to step up timber sales
during the ensuing months in
order to sell blowdown from
the Columbus Day storm.

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.
