Pacific Northwest Assembly
co-sponsored by the Univer

university. It is a national,
nonpartisan, educational or
ganization which regularly
holds national and regional
meetings and publishes books
on vital current topics.

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

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-

lergy when they see it, or they
hate to bother with any study
of the child's problem, or they
just give the mother' a pre
scription for some medicine.
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. You may get a copy by

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

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

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.
