The Medico Roundup Ennritui Contultant la Medlcln Mayo Clinic Eratrttttf Profetior of Medietas Mayo Clinic (Bcfitur and Trlbuna fyadltsu, 1963) iVaV J All Evtryday Heroes Every so often, as a phy sician 1 get to know well a man or woman who, to the average a c -quain t a n c e may seem quite ordinary - but to me, who knows of j the long strug gle ine person has waged against illness and adversity, rei me person seems heroic in stature. To illustrate: some 25 years ago I saw as a patient a school teacher, an unmarried and sickly woman of 35 who com plained of a number of puz zling symptoms,' some of which seemed to be due to the fact that, poor soul, she was so far from good-looking that she had little chance of getting married. And this was particularly sad, because she had a heart as big as all nut- doors, and her loneliness was bringing her unhapplness and a sense of frustration. I so admired the way in which she kept hard at work- in spite of almost constant Ill ness that we became good friends, and through the BURK'S Up To PRICES ARE ftflWH 4 4 i mi m Samsonite HORIZON LUGGAGE LADIES' MEN'S Style Reg.

A year or two after her first visit to consult me, she wrote that a handsome young wid ower with two little children, a boy and a girl, had married her. Later she wrote that as soon as he saw that she adored the children and they adored her, he dropped out of sight. My patient took this philosophically. Seriously ill as she often was, she managed most of the time - somehow or other - to keep hard at work. She had to work in order to make enough money to bring up and educate the children. Today, both of these children are married and have children of their own. Foster Mother Died I was prompted to write this because the boy, now a grown man, telephoned from 2,000 miles away to tell me that his much loved foster mother has just died. Overwhelmed with his loss, he turned to me as one who he felt was his moth er's closest friend. Another patient of mine, a business man of 50, would not give anyone the impression of being a hero - and yet for a long time I have regarded him as such. Friends told me that for years he had a mean and unpleasant wife who raised cain with him. Then she di vorced him, and in the pro cess, stripped him of most of his assets. A couple of years later, when he heard she had gam bled away all the money and was dying of a cancer, with no one around to take care of her, he remarried her and nursed her with great kind ness until she died. I could tell many more such stories of bravery, kindness, generosity and heroism, but these two cases are enough to show why many a kindly and philosophical physician looks with a charitable eye on many of his fellow men. Even when a man does some strange things, J am ready to forgive him much, if I know how badly life once treated him, or if I know how Rreat the man's trials and temptations were, and how , bravely he lived for much of Ms life. Taking a New Drug I must keep warning you that whenever you start tak ing one of the many new and powerful drugs you should know what are Its possible bad side effects. For Instance, many new drugs destroy so many of the white blood cor puscles that the person is soon left without much defense against any serious Infection that nuiy come along. With other drugs, the liver is at tacked, and then unless the use of the drug is quickly stopped, serious damage can be done. I was just reading about a new drug which can quickly produce a severe diabetes. Many people know that corti sone and some of the cortisone-like drugs can produce a number of serious Illnesses, such as tuberculosis, a stom ach ulcer, diabetes, dropsy, or a mental upset. One of the tranquilizers can produce Jaundice, and another can cause a depression. Other drugs can cause a dangerous rash or severe nausea. My ad vise to everyone who has started to take one of the new drugs is to stop its use the day he feels 111. He might do well then to get a blood count and a test of his liver func tion. Fortunately, a person Is likely to recover his health if he slops using a drug the day it makes him ill. I, who hap pen to be taking a drug to keep my blood from clotting too easily, get my blood checked every two or three weeks. I do not wait for trouble to hit me. One thing that can help a bit when a person is taking ; a strong drug Is every so often for several days to stop taking it so as to let any excess of it run out of his bodv. University Reports Show Property Tax Increases Greater Eugene - In recent years property taxes in Oregon have constituted an increasingly larger share of all local taxes, according to reports issued this week by the University of Oregon Bureau of Municipal Research and Service. In 1953 property taxes con- rfttuted 94 3 per cent of all local taxes, but this grew to 95.3 per cent in 1957 and 96.6 per cent in 1961, the bureau reported. Information about property tax levies in Oregon cities and in Oregon counties for 1962-63 was compiled in two separate reports by the bureau. The reports show that Ore gon property tax levies have grown from $88 million in 1949-50 to $230 million in Pharmaceutical Firm To Build at Portland Portland -IUPII- Haack Lab oratories, Inc., of Portland an nounced Wednesday it plans to build a new headquarters office and plant here. The firm, which manufactures pharmaceuticals, said the fa cility will cost $250,000. 1962-63. Within incorporated cities the total of such levies grew from $49 to 127 million. Total Local Levies In the period from 1954-55, total local levies increased by 73.5 per cent, which includes increases of 41.3 per cent by counties, 63.1 per cent by cities, 86.1 per cent by school districts, and 94. 2 per cent by special districts. The studies show that the average tax rate for all Ore gon cities is 22 2 mills in 1962- 63, compared to 19.7 In 1958 60, 21.1 in 1960-61, and 20.7 in 1961-62. "The exemption of certain properties from the tax rolls over the years and changes in the tax treament of certain classes of property have also had the effect of increasing the burden on the remaining property subject to taxation," Herman Kehrli, bureau direc tor, wrote in a covering letter. Miss Schweibert Named Finalist Ashland - Cay Lynn Sen wiebcrt, Ashland, a sopho more at Southern Oregon col lege, has been selected as one of the 12 finalists for the title of "Miss Photography of 1963" in the contest pon sored by the Master Photo Dealers and Finishers associ ation. Judging was based entire ly upon observable beauty and charm, according to an association spokesman. En trants submitted portraits for consideration by the judging panel. The winner will receive a $500 savings bond and tro phy, plus an all-expense trip lo Atlantic City to reign over the association's annual con vention in March. Following the convention, Miss Photography will serve as an ambassador of good will for the photographic in dustry, the spokesman stated. Miss Schwiebert was spon sored as an entry in the con test by Mrs. Phil Brainerd, Braincrds Studio and Cam era Shop, local member of the Master Photo Dealers and Finishers associrtion. "Certainly the pressure on taxable property would be less if the automobile and in tangibles were still on the property tax rolls," he wrote. "An analysis to determine all of the facilities and services that are required by the auto mobile and its full impact on local government as well as the implications of reduction of the direct tax originally im posed might be worthwhile at this time." The reports show that county property taxes have provided a declining share of total county revenues in Ore gon in recent years and that county property taxes have constituted a d i m i n i s h i g share of total property taxis in the state. , Man, Woman Are Fined For Disturbing Peace An Ashland man and a Medford woman - brother and sister - were fined $35 each in Medford' municipal court Wednesday as a result of a disturbance at a drive-in restaurant Tuesday night.
