Mn. M. 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.

$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.

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.
