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

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.
