W. - If we buy a two-family house we can put Larry through college Helaine S. - There must be some other way. They can't be landlords. e Mrs. M. W. - My husband Is 68, retired on a pension plus Social Security. I'm 55 and earn $20 a week on a part- time job. We have an 18-year-old son enteriniz college in Seolember. Our problem is how best to raise the $1,000 a year he'll need from us to get through. We own our home and by selling it we can ac quire a two-family house. The income should give us the $100 a month we need. Helaine S. - That's a wild idea. My sister hasn't told you her husband is an invalid, af ter three operations. How can he take on the responsibilities of a landlord? A better Idea would be to make Larry fig ure out how to get through college, instead of his mother taking on the whole worry, They pamper him. They gave him a car and, instead of hav ing him live home, they're trying to raise dormitory fees for him. The Councili As luck would have it, Mrs. W., we had your case on our mind as we at- tended a social function. With a tableful of landlords at hand, some of whom were mothers, we posed your prob lem. Almost with one voice, the answer was: "Don't sell your home. You'll never get your $100 a month that way." The consensus was that your new expenses would eat up your profits. But alternate "bright ideas" were passed around, such as take In a boarder, get yourself a job that pays more. And some of our "Ad-hoc-Counclllors" ech oed Helaine's angle: "I'll bet college is more the mother's ambition than the son's," said one guest. "Why doesn't he worry a little?" . ', . Our own summary for you Is: Pare your son's budget to the bone. See If he can dispense with the car. Worry about one year only. Perhaps he can get a student loan the second year. With minimum expenses, and Increased income from Jobs held by both your son and you, you can at least launch his college voyage. THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1963 MEDFORD MAIL 'JIUBUNE, MEDFOHD, OREGON MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Vt. THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1963 mm "wtru v f BANANAS Golden Rips ' 6ts100 Vn r-j $75,000 in Grants Given University Corvallis - Two grants to talling $78,000 have been awarded an Oregon State uni versity microbiologist, Dr. Leo W. Parks, to continue re search on ergostcrol - a mem ber of the same family as the more widely publicized cho lcsttol which often Is linked to hcBrt disease. Parks and his associates iny they are trying to learn more about how and why ergoslcrol is formed In living ceils. They anticipate their their work may shed some light on cholcstrol metabol Ism. Working with Parks are two graduate students, Pa- trica Starr and Jan Turner, both of Corvallis. Judy Bum- gardner, Klamath Falls, an undcrgradate In science, is working as a summer labora tory assistant. Park's two grants include $25,000 from the National Scl ence Foundation for a two year study of metabolisms of ergostcrol, and $su,uno from the U. S. Public Health Serv. Ire for a three year analysis of yeast sterols. Previously, lie had received about $50,000 from the two agencies for prelim studies. The scientist pointed out that his work with ergostcrol actually started with about $5,000 from the OSU Agrl cultural Experiment Station. This was enough money to get the project off the ground and to show the NSF and PUS the need for, and feasi bility of, a more thorough study of ergostcrol.

Medford, Oregon Tennis Dresses For Girls Sizes 2 to 14 S98 1A J 5 Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn W. Watklns Ketlauir a Tribune Syndicate, J8 Jt The Horrori Oi Night Air Are Only Foolish Stories "Never allow the dew to fall on your shoulders, or breathe the night air while you are sleeping" my grand mother said "lest all manner of illness confine you to your bed." She went even farther in her warning by adding, "be especially careful of night air from a swamp, for this is ac tually poisonous." I don't know whether she knew it or not, but she was Just as mistaken as the citi zens of ancient Rome 2,200 years ago, who probably start ed the whole silly business about the danger to one's health incurred by breathing night air. This so-called dangerous night air, which the old Ro mans feared, indirectly had more to do with the ultimate collapse of that old civiliza tion than today's historians will admit. The recorders of history speak more of con quests and cruel wars, revolu tion and internal uprisings. The real facts however were a little less obvious; only with in the last half century have modern scientists uncovered the real facts. Real Culprit Neither was it the night air that came from the great swamps that surrounded the old city of Rome, but what grew and flourished in those swamps that dislocated an em pire. The real culprit was the little buzzing mosquito that bred and grew in uncounted millions, and were blown into the city on the night air. The breeze that came up with the darkness, carried the biting hordes into the homes of the fighting Romans. There were no screens on the windows then, even though that old civilization boasted elaborate baths, aque ducts and amphitheaters. The traditional cruelty of the Ro man legions were pitiful and childish beside the ferocious and deadly malaria carrying mosquito from which this war like people had no protection. They knew what malaria was; a fever that killed. The word "malaria" is Italian for "bad air," for it was thought the bad night air caused the disease that weakened and prostrated the populace. The wide, swampy waste land outside the ancient city was kept wet through the ages by the overflowing of the liber Hiver. These swamps s have existed around the Eter nal City up until recent times. Cause Discovered It was not until 1894 that science discovered the real cause of malaria. It has been proven that the only way malaria can be transmitted from person to person is by the mosquito. But down through 2,000 years, the be lief in the danger of night air has persisted. Many folks still close the windows tightly when the darkness comes. Night air, especially if it is coming from a swamp, has a different smell; it is usually cooler air, with more of a hint of dampness. It may have been this different odor that was believed to contain a poisonous gas, liberated by the powers of darkness. Nothing could be sillier; night air is no different than day air and is just as healthful. It certainly wasn't the in vading armies, the civil wars, Internal strife, or night air that caused the downfall of ancient Rome; it was just a lack of knowledge about a bug; which the early Spanish named "mosquito," which was -their name for "little fly." Railroad Company Orders Flafcars The Southern Pacific rail road has announced awarding a contract for about $714 mil lion to the Gunderson Broth ers Engineering corporation, Portland, for construction of 750 new flatcars as part of an expanded, multi-million dol lar program to meet the freight car requirements of -industries in Oregon. E. C. Ordway, traffic man ager for Southern Pacific, Portland, also announced that SP plans to convert 730 stand ard, single-door box cars to wide -door design, especially for shipments of plywood and packaged lumber. "Our stepped-up order for flatcars represents a signifi cant contribution by South ern Pacific to the economy of the state of Oregon, both in dollar volume and in use of Oregon materials and man power," Ordway said. This is the largest rail equipment or der ever awarded to an Ore gon company, he pointed out. Ordway said the new equip ment will bring SP's expendi tures covering more than 19 000 freight cars in the past Ix yean to more than $187 million.
