Let's assume you are married and usually file a joint
return with your wife who doesn't work and has no social
security number herself. 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

On balance, the errors averaged $90 less in taxes per

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.

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.

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

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.

Under the microscope, the
leprosy bacilli look like
"tiRhtly-packed bundles of

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.

The first record of lenrosv

Court Discusses
of
Extending Lease
The Jackson county court
discussed the possibility yes

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

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,

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.
