f Rotarians Hear : Commander of AF Fighier Croup In case of war, lighter pilots from Kingsley Field, Klamath Falls, will be dedicated to the ' job of intercepting enemy planes. If rockets and ammu nition are exhausted, the in vaders will be rammed. This statement was made here Tuesday by Col. Edwin Witzenburger, commander of the 408th Fighter Group at the Klamath Falls air base, in an address before the Med ford Rotary club at the Rogue Valley Country club. Speaking at a luncheon meeting, Colonel Witzenburg er devoted a portion of his remarks to the problem of sonic booms, explaining how the shock wpves from the nose of super-sonic planes cause the periodical explosion like sounds which can crack windows. "We recognize that these sonic booms are disturbing to the public," Colonel Witiien burger said. "We make every effort to avoid them by con ducting simulated intercept ing exercises at high altitude. However, pilots concentrate upon their mission and to them the job comes first." Notes Recognition Bearing out the 408th Fighter Group's commander's high regard for the efficiency and dedication of the flyers. Colonel Witzenburger pointed to recent recognition given the Klamath Falls-based fight er group in competition with similar units throughout the nation. To explain the type of fighter planes operating from Kingsley Field the speaker showed a film released by Hughes Aircraft Corporation showing the Voodoo long range interceptor in action. This plane, considered a "complete weapons system," has exceptional speed, ex treme range, great fire-power and high safety factors. In 1957 this plane established the world's speed record with 1.207 miles per hour and since set. among other records, the transcontinental, trans-Atlantic and trans -Pacific speed records.

Gregory F. - He should start the psychoanalysis. Leonard W. - I'll muddle through by myself. Gregory F. - My cousin is 40, very depressed, stuck in a job he hates, and has no social life. Unmarried, he's ill at ease now among his old friends and seems unable to make new ones. He's bright and even started to study for a Ph.D., but that dragged on and now I think it's at a standstill. I managed to get him to my doctor who advises psychoanalysis, but Leonard won't try it. Leonard W. - People I've seen who've been "analyzed" seem no better off and a lot poorer in the pocketbook. The psychiatrist is like a crutch to one chap I know who has been going for 11 years. Greg and his wife are trying to help me, but I feel I must pull my self up alone. All I need is the courage to quit my job and get on in my field of study, geology. A doctor can't do it for me. ... The Council - No one will argue. Leonard, the psycho analysts ' cure'' every patient, any more than that every phy sician ends the woes of every paticiit. But, praise to Hip pocrates, they try. Evidently Greg's doctor recognizes a neurotic block holding you back, weighing you down. There's a chance that you can chip away at it yourself, but it could take another 40 years to reach the core alone. As the Pennsylvania Dutch put it, "Ve get old so fast and shmart so slow." ... Do give analysis a try. The skill of the expert can burrow deep and accurately to excise the bugs that sap your joy. Probing alone, you waste lime, motion, and worst of all, c-motion which is the spur to action . . . As to the horrible examples you've seen, ask yourself if they'd really have been bet ter off without analysis Most of them would be "sad sacks'" no matter what. Their analy sis, let's say. permits them to be less sad and to carry on.

(UPI) The Medical Weight Reduction by Fasting Four Philadelphia doctors recently reported in the Jour nal of the A.M.A. that they had had good results in the cases of 50 persons who were chroni cally over weight (intrac table obesity), by having the persons eat nothing for ,uvarei periods of from four to 14 days. The doc tors say that persons who are taking no food soon develop changes in their blood which take away their appetite, and hence they do not then suffer from the fasting. A person who is not taking any food should lose 2Vi pounds a day. Every so often he or she can go back onto either a full diet or a reduc tion diet. During the fast, non nutritious fluids are allowed, and also vitamins. Cool Collar Charm I 9388 Ui iTTt'TiTsrtTi ft Young, feminine soft the best thing a dress can be this summer of '63!

In the Philadelphia study, as a rule, appetite was lost after the first day of fasting. The pa tients said that they felt well during the fast. After quite a bit of weight has been taken off, tile person every so often will go on a new fast which .lasts one or two days. Antihislaminie Drugs Can Do Harm People should remember that the a n t i h i s t aminics, which are now dispensed to thousands of patients in an attempt -to relieve allergic troubles, can do harm, accord ing to Drs. P. E. Siegler, Tibor Body, Yolanda Mapp and J. H. Nodine. "We cannot say definitely that an antihista minic drug is unable to pro duce harmful and toxic side effects." The reactions to antihista mines which have been seen range from slight complaints to very serious ones. A person may be highly sensitive to the drug that was prescribed for him, and as a result, he can get temporary damage to his blood, or he may even get troublesome allergic respons es. Fortunately, in most cases, if the coming of a side-effect is quickly recognized for what it is. and the use of the drug is then stopped, the person will, recover completely. As the doctors say, "We must re member that all potent medi cines have side-effects and toxic effects." Hundreds of people ask if Ihcre is not some medicine that will dissolve gallstones. In his booklet, "Gallstones and Gallbladder Disease." Dr. Alavarez says there is not. If you want information on this subject, send 25 cents and a self-addressed, stamped enve lope with your request for the booklet to Dr. Walter C. Al varez, Dept. MMT, Box 957, Dcs Moines 4, Iowa. Heavy Truck Tax Break Becomes Law Salem - WH - A $500,000 tax break for heavy trucks was signed into law Tuesday by Gov. Mark Hatfield. The hill adjusts the weight mile taxes paid by trucks, and also increases the optional flat lee used mostly by log truck ers. Hatfield vetoed a similar bill two years aco. but sup ported this one when the llli- I nois Road Tests showed heavy I trucks were paying more than their share. The measure raises weight- mile highway use fees slightly I for lighter trucks. 91 WE ARE PROUD... Of our funer jl hom. "There iv none finer anywhere in So.

CALL '82-2816 L TW FUNERAL MEDFORD Inventions Part III Patent Office Officials Fail To Be Surprised By HARRY FERGUSON Washington-iUPU-A favorite story at the U.S. Patent Office is about the man who walked in, put a sliver of wood on the desk and said he wanted a patent on the toothpick. He didn't get it because of a special provision in the patent laws. You cannot obtain a patent on something that has been publicly described in a newspaper, a magazine or a book. The toothpick has been described so many times that a patent never has been issued on it and never will be. But if you can come up with some variation on the toothpick, you can get a patent, and there is one on the market now. H is de scribed as a "tooth space cleanser and gum massagcr". You dampen the piece of wood, stick it between your teeth and massage the gums. Patent Office officials long ago ceased to be surprised at the things people invent. It is not the function of the office to pass on the economic po tential of an invention, but merely to determine whether Hats for All Ages Teenagers, mothers, grand mothers, take notice!

Many Strange Patents But over the years some strange things have been patented: -A fly swatter pistol. When you pull the trigger, a long spring in the barrel uncoils and hits the fly on the wall. -A grapefruit shield. It is a plastic shield which is placed over the sliced half of a grapefruit, but is enough smaller than the grapefruit to allow a person to use a spoon. When the juice flies up, it hits the shield instead of going into your eye. -A woman's hat that blows soap bubbles. A tube runs from the hat to a bulb which the lady holds in her hand.

The child packs a tube with snow, presses a plunger, removes the cap of the tube and a snow ball pops out. -A spoon made out of pastry. When a child is through using the spoon, he cats it. Inventor Poor Judge An inventor frequently is a poor judge of the potential of what he has made. Joseph F. Glidden of De Kalb, 111., ap parently had no great hopes when he received patent No. 157.124 in 1874 for something he described as "an improve ment in wire fences." Wlm he had invented was barbed wire and the ranchers on the Plains bought it as fast as it could be produced. Elias Howe, who was work Reddy Kilowatt prescribes ElECTWC km 0 the hot weather tonic BETTER.. BETTER... IJM BETTER... Pacific Power & Invent ing in a machine shop in Cambridge, Mass., was a vic tim of public indifference. He invented the sewing machine. People were so unimpressed that Howe did not bother to patent it in the United Slates, but sailed for England in search of backers. A corset manufacturer bought the English patent from him and hired him to manufacture the machines. Four years later Howe re turned to the United States and found that people were pirating his invention all over the country. He entered upon one of the longest series of litigation in this nation and won every suit he filed. Howe died a millionaire, but his unhappy experience had done something to him. To the very day he died he kept building small, queer ma chines. Nobody, including Howe, could figure out how they could possibly be of any P r : 3 immMV wmmmmm i - - ff p, . j::; ' ' ii mi i 11. -jtrff'rTt I fM, - Light Company.
