OREGON The Medical Roundup (f. i Emerllut Coniultatit 1n Medletn Miyo Clinic Emtrilui Profenor of Medlcint Mayo Clinic Re(lsUr and Tribunt Syndicate. 193) Premature Old Ag Due To Smokina Dr. Hardin Jones, of the University o f California's Donncr Laboratory at Berk' elcy, was recently reported as having said that smoking brings a shut toward old age abnormal ly early in life. The death rate and causes of death in smok ers have been found to be about the same as those of much older non-smokers. For a long time, I have maintained that research- workers should be concerned not only with the tendency of cigarette smoking to produce lung cancer; they should re member that smoking com monly causes a severe bron chitis, with the well-known cigarette cough. Many a time I have seen a heavy smoker, when attacked by pneumonia die in a day or two; his lungs just couldn't take it-thcy had been too badly injured by the smoke. Back in the thirties, the world's great expert on lon gevity, Dr. Raymond Pearl, reported that heavy smokers tend to die earlier than do moderate smokers or non smokers. Spider Veins on the Thighs Recently, some anesthetists have told me how they dread giving ether to a heavy smok-cr-his lungs do not always stand an anesthetic well. I wish I could give a satis factory answer to the thou sands of women who want to know what they can do to get rid of what they call spider veins on the outsides of their thighs. Some of these women are so distressed by the sighi of these veins that they hate to get into a bathing suit. Fortunately, the small, slightly dilated veins do not cause the woman any discom fort, and they do not consti tute a disease. I imagine that if a woman were determined to get rid of them, an expert with an electric needle could plug up the little holes in the tissues of the thigh out of which the blood comes. I have never seen it done, but I have heard physicians talking about the possibility of such an operation being performed. Perhaps the best and sim plest thing the woman can do when she wants to get into a bathing suit is to cover up the spider veins with a water proof preparation such as is used with great success to cover up "port-wine" birth marks. It should be obtain able at any drug store or beauty counter. Often migraine headaches are hereditary. This and oth- informalion about sick headaches is contained in Dr. Alvarez' little booklet on the subject. You may obtain it by sending 25 cents and a self addressed, stamped envelope with your request for it to Dr. Walter C. Alvarez, Dept. MMT, Box 957, Des Moines 4, Iowa. Results of Experiment On Road Are Presented Salem Results of an ex perimental section of road constructed near Rogue River eight years ago were present ed to the state highway de partment's engineering labo ratories this week in a special report prepared by the Ce ment Industry of Oregon. Located on a quarter -mile section starling two miles north of Rogue River on the East Evnng Creek rd., the ex periment is one of the few of its kind in Oregon, according to Richard G. Montgomery, spokesman for the Cement In dustry. A process of treating the road base material with ce ment was utilized, Montgom ery said, in an effort to solve what was then one of the worst trouble-spots in the Jackson county road system. Seepage from a nearby drain age ditch, combined with heavy logging traffic, had re- Powell May Face House Questioning WashiiiRlon-IUPP - Chairman Adam Clayton Powell prob ably will face sharp question ing next week when he ap pears before a House commit tee to press his request for Stin7.000 to run his Education and Labor Committee. Early speculation was that 1 lie House Administration Committee would not give the almost automatic approval commiltre chairmen usually receive when asking for oper ating funds. Sources said Powell, under fire recently for his manner of handling the committee and his outside business Interests, was resigned to a budget cut. His rock bottom figure for the two-year period was said to be about $485,000. suited in surface damage which required extensive yearly maintenance. Bait Malarial Removed Paul Rynnlng, now retired, was county engineer when the new section was built. An eight-Inch layer of existing base material was completely removed, mixed with water land cement, and returned to the road bed. Montgomery said the proj ect was completed In less than a day at a total cost of $1,750, including equipment rental, materials and labor. A sealer coat was applied several days later, although traffic was al lowed through as soon as the job was finished. Virtually no maintenance has been required on the ex perimental road stretch since it was first opened, Montgom ery pointed out. Relates to Research The project rclntcs to a research study on treated bases currently being conduct ed by the highway depart ment, Montgomery said. Now, in many cases, It is more prac tical to treat the base with cement or other stabilizing materials, rather than travel longer distances for crushed gravel, he explained. This situation has been brought about, Montgomery stated, because of increased construction demands for ag gregate. In addition, hind zon ing continues to cover more putenlial aggregate supplies, while the construction of high mountain dams is halting the natural flow of gravel to val leys. The highway department is testing the effects of traffic and weathering on sample cores of treated bases, and by this spring hopes to have an swers as lo what kind of treatment and how much to apply on different highway construction Jobs. National Guard Units Plan Muster Day Observance Joining National Guards men from the Atlantic to Hawaii and from Alaska to Puerto Rico, the Medford Units are observing "Opera tion Muster 1963." The month of February has been designated for this ob servance and many units have chosen George Washington's birthday as "Muster Day. Maj. Charles A. Barklcy of Salem, representing the adju tant general s office, will speak here at 8 p.m. Tuesday Feb. 19, at the Medford Armory. His subject will be "The Role of the National Guard in a Civil Emergency.1 Arrangements are being made by the officers and men of Batteries A and D, Second Automatic Weapons Battalion 249th Artillery. Open house will be held at the Medford Armory Feb. 24, It will be directed by Capt, Charles E. Henry and First Lt. Levi G. Monroe. "This is an old tradition," Maj. Gen. Donald W. Mc- Gowan, stated in referring to Operation Muster, "but one which has special meaning in this year, the chief of the Na tional Guard bureau con tinued. Muster day dates back to an early colonial practice when it was the custom to hold an annual muster of the militia, usually on the village green. It was for the purpose of hold ing a roll call which would disclose the number of able bodied men available lo bear arms in the event of an emer gency. "Today, Just as In those early colonial days, it is ex tremely important for the country and every community to know exactly which men can be counted on in the event of an emergency," Gen. McOowan said. 'Only today it isn't enough Just to stand up and be counted. In order to be effec tive a man must be trained in the military skills he would have to use in a time of crisis and he must know how to em ploy these skills as a member of a trained team. He can get such training as a member of the National Guard.
