Will she have to apply for an account number so that you can have a number for each of you on the joint return? , , i. Ordinarily, no. But if your wife owns any slock n her own name on which she received $10 or more In dividends in 1962, or if she had a gross income of $600 or more from any sources last year, she should apply for an account number and enter it along with your social security number on your joint income tax return for 1962, If you get dividends and interest, you probably have been receiving requests for your account number from the corpora tions banks, savings and loan associations or any other organizations making payments to you. This Is so they can fill in your number when they are required to report to the Treasury the payments they will make or credit to you later in 1963. Make no mistake on these points. The law requires you to fill in your number and get one if you don't already have one. Also the law requires corporations, banks, etc., to ask for your number. Don't resent the requests; the law demands them. , . , A final point about numbers. Be careiui bdoui your arithmetic when you prepare your 1962 tax return. The number of mathematical errors the Treasury finds when it checks the additions, subtractions, etc. - which 11 does on almost every return - it amaxing. Nearly 2,500.000 returns contained mathematical errors last year and the errors ran both ways. Taxpayers not only make mistakes in faror of themselves but also unnecessarily BUUOU ic stiwir J , a.y . On balance, the errors averaged $90 less in taxes per return in iavor or tne taxpayer; iu muie m ww ... Treasury. So, be careful. Don't overpay on taxes by making an error against yourself. Also avoid errors in your favor, for they generally will be caught, you'll have to pay the added tax and you'll run the risk that your return will be picked for examination Just because of an error In your arithmetic.

(UPI) Drug Regulations To Protect Public Effective April 1 Washington OIPB Starting April 1, drug manufacturers will be subject to new gov ernment regulations designed to give additional protection to the public. The Food and Drug Admin istration has announced the tighter new regulations. They stem in part from last year's thalidomide scare. The new regulations would: -Require manufacturers to prove a new drug is not only safe but effective before they could get FDA approval for lis use. -Forbid misleading or false labeling and advertising by drug makers. -Require drug manufac turers, processors and pack agers to register with the FDA each year and to under go FDA Inspection at least once every two years. The new regulations were drawn up under amendments approved by Congress last year to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act after deformed babies were born to mothers who took thalidomide. An FDA spokesman ex plained that under the old law, only the safety of drugs had to be proved to win gov ernment approval. The new regulations re quire "clinical data must be adequate to support a reas onable conclusion that the drug will be safe and that it will have its intended therapeutic effects," he said. Some clinical testing also must take place in the Unit ed States unless the disease to be treated does not occur in this country. After approval, manufac turers would be required to report to the FDA periodical ly on the actual effect of the drug on humans, including immediate reports of un expected side effects or failures. The final printed label must be submitted before the new drug is approved. All new advertisements and mailed promotional informa tion on prescription drugs must be submitted to the FDA. All labels must be worded as clearly as possible, the Savings Bond Sales Show Decrease Here Purchase of Treasury De partment Series E and H sav ings bonds by Oregonians showed a large Increase last month over sales for the same month in 1962. Total sales for the state last month were $4,242,358, a gain of 16 per cent compared to January, 1962. Jackson county, however, did not show an increase, ac cording to Chairman M. B. Leonard Sr. Sales in the coun ty last month totaled $121, 434. In January, 1962, Jack son county citizens purchased a total of $136,160. FDA said. The regulations crack down on "artful word smithing," fancy but mean ingless names, mention of in active ingredients and use of trade names whose spelling or pronounciation might lead to confusion with established trade names. Advertising claims would be restricted to those appear ing on FDA-approved labels. Any drug advertisement that suggests dosage must summa rize effects and hazards, the FDA said. If an advertisement is "seriously misleading" the FDA said, the drug involved can be taken off the market. Exam for Postal Jobs Announced A postal clerk-carrier exam ination to fill vacancies which occur at the Medford post of fice will be held at 8:30 a.m. March 2, according to L. B. Nelson, civil service exam iner. Applications for the exam ination are now being accept ed, and will be through Feb. 21.

Snow Survey Set For Ml. Ashland Ashland-Buck Martin, who heads the ski school at Mt. Shasta, has been hired by the Mt. Ashland Corporation to make a snow survey of the probable location of a first ski lift on the Mt. Ashland development. Martin, who is experienced in the technical aspects of planning ski developments, . will run two profiles on like ly lines for the first major lift in the area. The lines will include a lo cation for an initial portable platter lift to be installed the first year. This first lift could later be relocated to serve the novice area. A second year's snow survey is desirable be fore a permanent lift is in stalled. A committee composed of Daniel Bulkley, Vincent Ored son and Mrs. Irving Lord will work with Martin in planning this phase of the study of the mountain. A scale model of the Mt. Ashland ski resort area creat ed by Charles Collins of the California - Recreational De velopment corporation is on display at the Ashland branch of the U. S. National Bank this week. The lift arrange ment shown is not necessarily the one that will be chosen by the developers, they said. Lepers in Upper Volta Colony Free to Come and Go; No Walls THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 14. 1963 By ZAKI SALAMA Bamako, Mali-AJPt-Deep in the trees in the lonely woods beyond Bamako lies a colony of horror. The road, dark in the noon day sun, tunnels for miles through thick, overhanging trees. No habitation on either side. No sign of life. Then sud denly you come upon a cluster of small dwellings under the trees. In front of them, in groups of two or three, men and women sit silently on the ground. These are lepers. The leper colony lies back of the Marchoux Institute of of Leprosy, which is part of ! the organization for coopera tion and coordination of the struggle against major en demic diseases. Its headquart ers are at Bobo-Dioulasso in the upper Volta republic. The organization comprises seven African states and France. Marchoux is the principal leprosy institute in West Africa. Children Play You step into the lepers' colony and the first thing you see is children at play. Niked children, shining black, chub by, running and laughing. (It is the same at every site of human suffering. You ap proach a refugee camp in the Gaza Strip and the children are there, too, laughing and playing outside the mudwalls.) A second hopeful sign of life amid human desolation is the smell of baking bread. It spreads out like a warm blanket from open cottage doors. Then you come face lo face with leprosy and the horror of it. A man walks past, his nose and mouth a white void of bleached bone. A young woman sits at her door, with cheeks swollen to the size of cabbages. A man lies un der a wall, his hands and feet eaten away. The lepers, too, are shock edat the sight of a stranger. They lift their hands to their faces and turn their heads away. The colony houses 400 lep ers with their families. The institute protects the children with preventive treatment. Some of the single lepers and lepresses have married one another. Their children are free of leprosy. The colony has no wall around it. The lepers are free to come . and go. Complete isolation would be lifelong imprisonment for the lepers and unnecessary protection for the outside community. The "M.Leprae" bacillus is " " jjl 'k m Ha M lTAMlaJ m m P1GGLY WIGGLY IstampsJ laTAMPy contractable only through pro onged, intimate contact, in the absence of preventive meas ures. Olhcr lepers are more un fortunate. They beg in Bam ako. You take out a coin to drop in their hands but they have no hands. Their arms are fitted with wooden cups instead man reduced to beg with the alms cut a part of him. Leprosy Widespread There are 12 million lepers in the world today. Among man's major afflictions, lep rosy is the most widespread and the most enigmatic.

There are two types of leprosy: lepromatous and tuberculoid. The lepromatous is tue more ravaging. The tuberculoid is the more cur able, in the early stage. Both are hopeless when advanced. Ancient Diuait The first record of lenrosv goes back lo ancient Egypt. a wan inscription dating back to 1350 B.C. shows lepers among Sudanese war captives. Payri written five centuries before Christ outlined the disease. The fight against lenrnsv has begun to score some gains in me present centurv. In this fight, the Marchoux Institute, essentially a research labora tory, has made outstanding contributions. Today, leprosy can be pre vented, and it can be cured when diagnosed in the early stages. You think of that as you leave the Bamako lepers' colony and pray silently that some day there will be no need for such a place, Investment in Price Supports Tops $8 Billion Washington -WPP- The gov ernment's Investment in price supported commodities total ed just over $8 billion as of Dec. 31, according to the Ag riculture Department, It was about $200 million above the investment a month earlier.

Court Discusses of Extending Lease The Jackson county court discussed the possibility yes terday afternoon of extending . the lease for the C. C. Beek man home in Jacksonville as a tourist attraction, but took no action. County Judge Earl M. Mill er said he wanted to discuss the matter with the county budget committee during its upco-ning sessions. He suggested to reDresen. tatives of the Siskiyou Pio neer Sites Foundation that the present one-year lease, which expires June 30, might be renewed for three years at $200 a year with the Uni versity of Oregon. The prop, erty In Jacksonville and home of one of Oregon's earliest banker's had been willed to the University of Oregon to establish a professorship of Pacific Northwest history at the university. Suggest Longer Lease County Commissioner Ed win Taylor suggested a 10 year lease be sought. "County Commissioner Donald Faber wondered if the house with all of its early-day furnishings could be purchased from the university by the county. Mrs.-George Brewer, founda tion member and caretaker of the home, said the !dea "should be looked into." Elliott Beckon, foundation secretary, said his organiza tion could continue to oper ate the home as a tourist at traction, but requested the county court include $1,200 to $1,500 in the county's new fiscal year budget for its operation, "With the Peter Britt Music Festival planned for this sum mer in Jacksonville, we feel the foundation should develop omer nistorlc sites to interest the crowds of tourists ex pected," Becken said. Provide Small Industry The Jacksonville delegation which included Jacksonville Mayor E. O. Graham said the Bcckman home earned 6,000 paid admissions in less than a year's operation, provided small industry for Jackson ville and netted $500 after the foundation had paid its expenses. Mrs. Brewer said the home is unique since it has all ot its original furnishings includ ing silverware. Visitors from various foreign countries and all over the United States have visited the home, sJie said. Nobody has been criti cal, and a large number ot people, including youngsters have been impressed, it was pointed out. Mrs. Helen Dupre Bullock of the National Trust for His- . toric Preservation urged the foundation to do all possible lo maintain the home. It will have an even greater slg- iflcance to future genera tions, she remarked following her visit to Jacksonville.
