Newspaper Page TextSecond American Assembly Slated Al University Eugene After i successful Pacific Northwest Assembly co-sponsored by the Univer sity of Oregon last February to probe the problems of au tomation, the American As sembly at Columbia univer sity has invited the Univer sity of Oregon to co-sponsor another Assembly next Au gust. Participants in the August Assembly will discuss the topic of "Cultural Affairs and Foreign Relations. About 60 participants will be invited to the Assembly Irom Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah and Montana. The Assembly will he held Aug. 1 through 4 on the Uni versity of Oregon campus in Eugene. Co-Director of Assembly Co-directors of the Assem bly will be John Gange, di rector of the University's In stitute of International Stu dies and Overseas Adminis tration, and Paul B. Jacob son, dean of the school of education and direction of tummer sessions. Participants to the Assem bly will be invited from the fields of industry, labor, gov ernment, the professions, and other areas. The American Assembly was founded by Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1950 when he was president of Columbia university. It is a national, nonpartisan, educational or ganization which regularly holds national and regional meetings and publishes books on vital current topics. In addition to the Assembly on automation, the university was co-sponsor of an Assem bly in 1960. The Assembly next August will be the first time such an Assembly has been held on the campus, with participants housed in mod ern dormitory facilities. TO EXTEND PROBE Washington - (UPD - The House government informa tion subcommittee will resume its "managed news" investiga tion Tuesday and broaden it to include news coverage "problems" in Viet Nam. SHAREOWNERSHIP RISING THROUGHOUT WORLD In Japan a small investor can buy shares of stock al a department slot? counter or a brokerage office in an amuse ment center or he can just put a few yen in a mite box and wait for a securities salesman to come around and collect periodically. As a result of such aggressive efforts as this to broaden shareowncrship, the number of individual share owners in Japan is now above 4 million, or seven times the total at the end of World War II. In West Germany the Federal Republic is promoting widespread stockownership through issues of "People's Stock" - a program under which employees and private individuals with modest incomes can buy limited amounts of shares of stock of leading German corporations. Due pri marily to the sale of Volkswagen shares to over 1.5 million people, shareownership in West Germany is now above 2 million. In the United Kingdom, stock acquisition plans for em ployees are commonplace, there are several hundred invest ment companies, and in 1958 a "Wider Shareownership Com mittee" was formed at the highest levels of government and finance to spur investing by the public. In Britain now, the number of shareowners is over 3.1 million compared with 1.5 million in 1945. Of courtt. we dwarf (very other nation in the-world in iha total of shareownars - over 17 million at last count, mora than double our shareowner population a dscada ago. But in recent years major drives alio have bn launched throughout the free world to encourage individual ownership of corporation stocks. Just as our stock market crash of 1962 hurt and dis illusioned tens of millions of U.S. citizens, so the crashes in foreign markets hurt and disillusioned millions of foreign citizens. Now, Just as the stock upsurge here is easing the losses of those who held on and turning many losses into at gains, so the recoveries in other markets - notably in Japan, Canada, the Netherlands, United Kingdom. Switzer land - are rebuilding the nesteggs of foreign investors who didn't panic last year. The growth of shareowncrship here and elsewhere is, as Keith Funston, president of the New York Stock Exchange, puts it, "one of the most exciting aspects of economic growth throughout the free world since World War II." The growth abroad is also one of the least country anyway. Here are a few more illustrations. In France at the end of 1957 there were 2 million shareowners and the number has risen substantially since then due to the introduction of company stock acquisition plans and promotion efforts. In Italy, the total is estimated at above 2 million also, with the number being boosted steadily by employee stock ownership clans. In Colombia the total up 786 per cent since 1947. In population was 500,000, or 9.2 unattached individuals. So it goes. A NYSE survey of 55 countries last year revealed that in about one-half of the countries, stock exchanges and other groups are conducting public information and educational programs to broaden stock ownership. In vestment techniques developed here have been taken over by nations overseas. Several countries - New Zea land. Israel. Sweden - report that investment clubs have bean farmed. The Monthly Investment Plan, launched hare in 1S54. is being promoted in Canada. In Calcutta brokerage firms advertise "Own Your Share of Indian Business." In Johannesburg the slogan Is "Own Your Share of South African Business." In Melbourne it's "Own Yaur Share of Your Country." : A first key point about all this is tnat shareownership Is growing today in places where yesterday there was not even a chance for growth. A second key point is that it is grow ln In manv countries in which industry has traditionally been controlled by the government or light little groups of family owners and weaitny A ini-k lumo or ucsuric touches every Main Street In The Medical V Neglected Allergic Child Recently Dr. Helen C. Hay den noted that a study by Appel, Szanton and Rapaport revealed that during the first 15 years of life, 23.7 per cent of all children a u f fer from some serious form of allergy. Among these allergies is the so - called atopic eczema seen often in children under 'o n e' year. Later, there is the summer, hay fever; the "constant al lergic nose" or the bronchial asthma. The incidence of al lergic disease in adults is 18.6 per cent. It has been esti mated that between 50 and 70 per cent of major allergies begin in childhood. As Dr. Hayden said, what is sad is that a survey showed that only half the allergic children in families of mod erate income receive any treatment, and in the lower income group only one in three receives treatment. Unfortunately, as Dr. Hay den says, many physicians either fail to recognize an al- Permits Issued for New Homes in City Permits to construct four residences have been issued by the Medford building de partment.

They do not take the time to teach tne mother to do the home detective work which might enable her to identify the irritants to which her child is reacting so violently. Dif iicult Problem It might be the child's dog or a pillow on his bed or the eggs he eats for breakfast or the pollen of the ragweed plant. In many cases, the prob lem is a difficult one, and then the mother should keep a sort of diary of the unusual foods eaten, or things that hap pen just before the symptoms flare up. Later, a study of this diary may show what the troublesome irritant is. What is sad is that some times the parents of an aller gic child take the advice of their relatives and friends and decide to wait until the child' "outgrows his allergy." Dr. Hayden feels this is most un fortunate because usually the child does not get over the allergy without help. He may steadily get worse. Often, after years of hay fever he develops asthma. v When asthma does appear", it should be treated early and with skill and vigor. If at all possible, the cause should be found and removed. At first. asthma may come only during tne peak ot tne ragweed sea son, but later, in some 10 per cent of the cases, it tends to become chronic. Then attacks of wheezing may come at any time, bometimcs they may be triggered by an emotional storm. Particularly interesting to me has been the finding of tne doctors In the splendid hospital for asthmatics in Den ver, Colo., that half of the children with severe asthma who walk into their place promptly lose their wheezing. This suggests that at home a highly nervous, worrisome, overly critical or protective parent had a bad effect on the child. This becomes apparent again when after months of good health at the hospital, the day the child starts for home he begins again to wheeze. Whaesa At Will Some children even learn to wheeze at will, in order to control then' parents, to gain some advantage or to have their way. Obviously, the asthmatic child greatly needs an environment in which the people are calm, relaxed and - above all - not too anxious or too easily and obviously frightened. Many years ago, my good friend Dr. Van Leeuwen in Holland was one of the first men in the world to under stand the allergic problem. He found that if he put 100 asthmatics into a hospital. half of them immediately got relief. On trying to find out why, he discovered that often the attacks were due at least in part to too much dust in a littered room or to fluff com ing off the carpet or a rug or from window-curtains or pil lows on the bed or on a daven port. In some cases, the wheez ing was due to the presence in the house of a cat or a dog. When this was true, the ani mal had to be given away. As Dr. Van Leeuwen learn ed, every asthmatic ought to live in a room which has the simplicity of a monk's cell - without drapes, a carpel, a rug or some other dust-catch er. The doctor found also that if he sent 100 patients with asthma up into the Swiss Alps, half of them immediately got well because above a certain altitude they breathed clean air, free from dusts and pol lens and smog. Often, when a child gets severe hay fever and eventual ly severe asthma due to pol len, the parents, if they can possibly do so, ought to move to a location free of the irri tant. Additional help for suffer ers of allergy, hay lever and asthma, is contained in Dr. Alvarez' booklet on the sub ject.

Invitation Awaited Pennsylvania Dutch Cookbook Gives West's Wife Problem in Arithmetic By DICK WEST Washington - IUPH - Some! months ago I was advised in confidence that our neighbor hood gourmet society might invite me to deliver its annual J. Bel cher McBurpp memorial lec ture on gas tronomy. The lecture comes each year Just WW before the start of the Japanese beetle season. The society always chooses a distinguished epi cure to address it, so I natur ally was flattered to hear that it was considering me. Apparently, the trustees were impressed by the scries of papers I presented last year on "Great Dishes of the West ern World." Thus far, the lecture invita tion has not been forthcoming, but in anticipation of the honor I have been doing some additional research on great dishes. In this connection, I re cently mad a trip to the Pennsylvania Dutch region to investigate a report that it had spawned a great dish called "hog maw." At the time, I was under the impression that "hog maw" referred to a motherly type pig. Subsequently, however, I learned that the maw is the lining of the hog's stomach. That somewhat diminished my intellectual curiosity, as well as my appetite. However, the trip was not entirely fruit less. I can use it to advantage the next time I get involved in a "place-dropping" contest with a money-back guarantee OREGON with some friends. of my far flung When they start casually mentioning the famous places where they have dined, I can counter by saying, "Yes, but did you ever dine at the Jef ferson, Pa., Volunteer Fire Department?" I happen to have been al the fire hall on the evening that the ladies auxiliary was serving its annual spring din ner. As a matter of fact, that was where I learned the truth about hog maw. The auxiliary alio was sailing a Pennsylvania . Dutch cookbook and I bought a copy as a present for my wife. She was de lighted with tha gift until she opened it. Right on the first page it listed "amounts required for 50." My wife said "I don't like to seem unappreciativc, but we rarely have more than 49 people for dinner." "Well," I said, "you can take the recipes and divide them by 12V?. That should be about right for us." One of the dishes I had at the fire hall was "snitz and nepp." I suggested that my wife try it for a starter. Spraying Time! Let ut spray ' your Trees, Shrubs, Gardens l Lawns with 100 Organic Spray.
