MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON WEDNESDAY. uNE S. 1963 Try and Stop Mo By BENNETT CERF -The? legislature I A WOMAN WHO weighs something over 300 pounds had an interesting experience while flying by jet from Den ver to New York recently. Shortly after the take-off a stewardess tapped her on the shoulder and invited her to move from the tourist section to a seat in the first-class com partment. "I'm flattered," said the woman, "but wonder why you've singled me out for this V.I.P. treatment." "Ma dam," explained the stewardess candidly, "we have a weight problem." Joa McCarthy tells of two robbers who made a gigantic haul in a bank tick-up. Looking at the huge pile of green backs on a table in their hideaway, one robber suggested "Instead of counUng all this money, let s wait till morning and look at the newspapers to see how much we got!" Another Joe McCarthy story: A family group, having dinner at a Broadway restaurant, reached the dessert course. The 0-year-old daughter said to the waiter, "What kind of pastry do you have?" Then, before he could answer, she added, "And, by the way, what IS pastry?" C 1963. by Bennett Cerf.

Yet millions of Americans go on suffer ing from foot troubles. And no wonder! 1 now read that we walk an average of 65,000 miles AJvarez in a lifetime, or 7'2 miles, or 13,000 steps a day. If a man weights 165 pounds, his feet carry around a daily load equivalent to 2 million pounds. That's a lot of use for a small part of the body. One should not overlook minor injuries to the feet, such as bruises, or cuts and cracks in the skin, because an infection can occur. Also one must avoid bad habits of pos ture and walking - which can develop. Not all foot ailments are merely corns and calluses. Sore feet can often be due to weak arches, hammer toes, plantar warts, foot imbalance, heel spurs, a skin disease, or congenital and acquired de formities. Here are some hints for taking care of your feet: (1) Keep your feet clean. (2) If the skin of your feet is dry, at night apply some lanolin, cocoa butter, or oil. (3) Dry the skin carefully after your daily bath. If you want to avoid "athlete's foot," be sure to dry between the toes. (4) Do not wear tight gar ters, especially if they cause your ankles to swell. (5) Corns, calluses or an in grown nail should quickly be taken care of by an expert. (6) Seek immediate profes sional care for any injury to the foot, or an ulcer or sore that appears on the skin. Re member that a good podiatrist can help. Difficulties in Research I am often urged by intelli gent peopie to do everything I can to stimulate the medical profession to get behind "a crash program" of research which they hope will quickly - perhaps in a couple of years - give us the cure for cancer. I surely, hope that some cures for the several forms of cancer will be found in the next few years, but I know that a crash program, no mat ter how well planned and how well backed by a billion dollars, is not likely to suc ceed. Why? I know this be cause years ago I was on the board of directors of a re search foundation, and during that time I discovered how very difficult it is to find many men with a spark of genius - devoted to research, honest, well-Daiancea mental ly and spiritually; well-trained technically - and what is all-important - in possession of some idea as to how the particular research problem might be tackled. After a cou ple of years in which I watch ed most of our foundation's money - which we had given to men in the United States -going down the drain, without bringing us much in the way of discoveries - I decided that I didn't want to try to neip any man unless he seemed to have ppned up a good ap proach to problem and had a good idea its to how it should be tackled. Fearful for Schools Some months ago, I sat after dinner with i group of interesting men; a few profes sors of medicine and few directors of institutes - men who ha 'i-ed in research all of their lives. There were also some clinicians and some teachers of pre and post-grad uate medical students. I was so interested to see that these men were actually fearful of what may happen to our medi cal schools as millions of re search dollars are poured into their treasurer. Naturally, these men are glad to see money being given to research. As several said, in their youth they had had to be satisfied with a tiny salary, sometimes one smaller than that paid to a'n unskilled laborer. During my early days in research, my family and had to live on $250 a month. Hence it is that we who love research have no objection to seeing the workers being paid a living wage. But what the deans of med ical schools are now worrying about is that everyone around the place - and this includes men without any gift for re search work - are wanting to give up their teaching, or their care of patients - to go into uie laDoraiories. The senior students also - some of whom ought to be going into general practice want to go into re search, for which most of them have no gift at all. For tunately, the able directors of the National Institute of Health in Bethesda are wise they understand the problem, and they are trying hard to dispense the money wisely. Millions Millions Pared. Added By Lawmakers Now that summer and its irritating pollens are just around the corner, you might be concerning yourself with allergy problems if you are subjected to their irritations.

Alvarez, Dept. M MT, Box 957, Des Moines 4, Iowa. American Cardinals Leaving for Rome (Continued from pagt one) The lawmakers cut millions from the Hatfield program, and added millions in new programs. They came up with a $6 million one-shot fund for schools where Hatfield had planned to use general funds. And they decided to use $10 million in general funds for college buildings where the governor had planned to bor row through bonds. Hatfield insisted his pro gram was the least Oregon could spend and still keep services at the same level. Ed ucators, and many other state agencies, argued even Hat field's proposals were too little. The legislators insisted even their cuts would not impair state services. In fact, they replied, by their long study they had im proved on Hatfield's spend ing blueprint by removing the last vestiges of "fat" while fortifying some spots that were too lean. Since money determines what the state can do, the committee was deciding pol icy for the next two years. And the committee didn't stop at sums of money. It also overhauled many budget ing procedures that spell out just how the money is ap pealed and spent. The 5404 million is a rec ord, as budgets for this grow ing state have been for some years. Other Money Spent That doesn't represent all that Oregon will spend in 1963-65 only the general fund portion collected from taxpayers. In all, the spending pro gram comes to some $1.2 bil lion the rest coming from pledged funds such as the gasoline tax, special fees such as those paid by fishermen or students, and federal grants of matching money. It is in the general fund portion, however, that the big decisions are made. Education, despite its qualms, fared better than some. The legislature approved $141 million for local school districts. $5.8 million for spe cial, classes, and $8.4 .million for community colleges and the Department of Education. Troubled higher education ended up with $77.3 million in general funds, $1.7 million for extra salary Improve ments, $44 million in general funds and various bonds for buildings, and a new tubrrcu losis hospital with $2 million to run it. Requests Ignored Higher education s own re quests for more than the gov ernor proposed were ignorea. Where else does Oregon spend $660 per man, woman and child in general and spe cial funds in two years time? Perhaps the biggest sum in the $241 million highway budget, most of it from fuel taxes and federal funds. The legislature also pro vided for a $106 million pub lic welfare program, with the state paying $41.9 million. Other budgets range from prisons and the courts to agen cies dealing witn neaitn, air planes, forests and fish. The legislature raised taxes. And, though a drop in the bucket, the legislators raised their own pay. They also stayed at Salem a record-long time. Whether the voters think 14 meat cleaver pins represent a conscientious ef fort to hold the spending line remains to be seen. Americans Mourn Death of Pope John By United Press International With singleness of heart, America's humble and mighty today mourned the passing of Pope John XXIII. Catholic, Protestant and Jew, from cardinals to hum ble parish priests, from the President to the man in the street, all were saddened by the death of the son of a sharecropper who became the leader of the Roman Catholic church. The eulogies poured in, some in prepared statements, some in telephoned calls. But was flashed that the Pope was dead. "There really isn't anything you can say," Anita Sandoval, : a concession stand operator in a Chicago train depot, said. "But God bless him." President Kennedy lej the nation in mourning. He said the Pope "brought compas sion and an understanding drawn from wide experience to the most divisive problems of a tumultous age." There was unanimity among the three faiths in praise of the Pope, whose major con- perhaps most eloquent were tribut ion during his tour and the expressions of grief by ! a half year rei-n was the men and women when word ! Ecumenical Council, We who are of the Jewish faith have been blessed by his warmth, by his concern for all human beings and by the attributes of greatness he possessed." said the Chicago Federation of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations. RETAINS EXEMPTION Washington - il'Pli - The House Ways and Means Com mittee turned down an ad ministration request Tuesday for tighter restrictions on the $100 duty free allowance from abroad. The committee approved without change a two year extension of the existing allowance. The Rev. Fredrlk A. Shiotz, president of the American Lu theran church, said that "Christians every where grieve in the death of Pope John." The lay president of the National Council of Churches, J.
