man or woman who, to the

quite ordinary
- but to me,
who knows of

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

ESIUl'SMO !!"
v ' ' ' ' ' ' - '
years, we wrote occasionally
and kept in touch with one
another.
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. ,
