A 10 MONDAY. JULY 22. 1963 MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON The Medical Roundup fC Erne mm Con n.ultint In Mcdiclna Mjvd clinic Enitntui Profesmr of Medietas .Ma) ii clinic (Iteiuur and Trlhunt Syodlcau, 1963) ' When Children Want To Smoke Most of us would probably lay. that U a girl's mother smokes, she is far more likely to smoke, but according to a recent study made by D r . Bernard J. Bergen, among 305 students i n the Oth and 11th grades i n Stamford Alv.rei vuiiii., nu re lationship was found between the smoking habits of parents and children. Dr. Bergen thinks that in starting smok ing, an adolescent is indu enced by what his or her friends do. Some 14 per cent of the 9th graders and 22 per cent of the lllh graders were smoking at the time of the survey. As I talked this over with an intelligent mother who smokes pretty steadily, she said one thing was certain she could not scold her teen age daughter for smoking, and she could hardly exhort her not to smoke if only be cause the girl might say, "All right, mother, why do you smoke so much? And if you smoke so steadily, why shouldn't I?" Incidence of Deafn.u I read that some 9,800,000 people In the United States have some degree of hearing Joss, including 110,000 who are totally deaf. Statisticians of the Metropolitan Life In surance Co., reported that 40 out of every 1,000 men have impaired hearing. This rate is one-third higher than that for women. The frequency of deafness rises with advanc ing years from 8 per thousand for persons under 29, to 30 per thousand at age 79 and over. Child Afraid to Sleep Alont Many mothers write to say that they have a highly ner vous child who is much afraid to sleep in a room alone, or he is much afraid to sleep in the dark. The mother wants to know if she should get tough with him, or if she should be sympathetic and kind, and on the baseboard. With such a light, if the child wakens and gets frightened, he can look around and can see that there is no one in the room. Once when one of my grand children became afraid of the dark, I made him happy by leaving a light on in the hall and leaving his door open into the hall. Few people realize how many adults will not sleep in a room unless there is a lit tle light on. What happens is that perhaps after some noise. the person wakes with the feeling that there Is someone in the room. Naturally, then by the time he has listened a while In satisfy himself that no one is present, he is wide awake, and may have much trouble going back to sleep If at a glance he could have seen that no one was present he might have gone back to sleep in a minute. It probably is not wise to have your blood pressure measured too frequently. Dr. Alvarez' booklet, "High Blood Pressure," gives you this and other information about blood pressure. You may get your copy of the booklet by send ing 25 cents and a self-ad- dressed, stamped envelope with your request for it to Dr. Walter C. Alvarez, Dept. MMT, Box 957, Dcs Moines 4, Iowa. DAV Chapter Has Officers Installed Vaughn Beer was recently installed as commander of the local chapter of the Dis- bled American Veterans, ut was unable to be present becau.se of illness. Ira Can- field, the third commander of the chapter, represented Beer. J, P. Graham served as in stalling officer. Lee Turner, stale execu tive committeeman from Grants Pass, presented Can- field with a 25-year pin In recognition of his service to the chapter. Officers installed to serve with Beer were George O. Martin, senior vice command' nhmilri norhnns lot him .liwn Eino P.. Hill, Junior vice In a room with his brother or commander; Karl J. Knutson, lister. If only because as a child I suffered terribly from having Company Granted Permission To Park 'Courtesy' Vehicles to sleep alone in a big room quite a distance from the rest of. the family s bedrooms, 1 am very sympathetic to such children, and my advice Is that by all means, be kind. The first thing I would do with such a child is to get one of the tiny lights that can be put in an electrical outlet low The airport committee of the Medford city council recommended Thursday night that Letz Rent-A-Car be grant ed permission to park two "courtesy cars" at the munici pal airport, providing the ve hicles - and all other such courtesy cars at the airport -are clearly marked. The committee's recommen dation was in response to a request from Bob Messer, agent for Letz, who had sought permission to park three of the courtesy vehicles at the airport. Following acceptance of the group's report, the council voted 6 to 1 to grant Messnr a temporary permit to park his cars at the airport, pond ing possible council action in ordinance form on the com mittee's proposals. An earlier motion to grant a temporary permit to Messer, with the stipulation that he mark his vehicles immediate ly, failed by a 4 to 3 vote. The airport committee also recommended to the council that leases which are current ly being negotiated between the city and Aviation Service and Rogue Flying Service to operate at the airport have clause included to permit the firms to sell aircraft radios and parts. In other action, the council voted to: -Amend the "pinball ordi nance" to provide for the pos sibility of reinstatement of a suspended operator's license, nd to substitute the word metal" in the ordinance in place of "steel." -Dedicate an alley in Block Park addition. Approve Specifications -Authorize and approve plans and specifications for the paving of 11th st. from Willamette to Ashland sts. -Approve plans and specifi cations for paving Dakota st. from Chestnut st. to Colum bus ave. Approve plans and specifi cations and call for bids for the demolition of the Federal and the Hansen and Field buildings in connection with the off-street vehicle parking district. -Call for public hearings Aug. 1 on paving projects on Uth st. and Dakota ave., and installation of a water main on 10th st. -Call for bids on projects to widen Jackson st. and pave Siskiyou blvd. -Set Aug. 1 as the date for public hearings on -requests for zone changes on proper- tics located on Franquette st Grant a variance to Tex co Oil company to erect a 15-foot hi eh si en al Crater Lake highway and Biddle rd. -urant a variance to Rtcn field Oil comDanv to erect a 21-foot, 8-inch sign on Crater Lake mghway near Bear creek. -Grant home occupations at 1911 Johnston st. and 1925 Crestbrook rd.

Duff also reported to the council that Yellow Cab com pany had voluntarily lowered its rates for trips between the municipal airport and the city. The old rate was $1.50 for one passenger and $1.25 for each passenger more than one. The new rate is the same for one -passenger, but the fare was reduced to $1 for each passenger more than The council voted 4 to 3 to install a street light at Chest nut and Winchester sts. at a monthly cost of $2.40. Two matters not on the agenda were passed by the group following a vote to waive the council rule. Oft Street Motor Parking district No. 1 fund was established. A disbursement to R. A. Heintz of $18,359.52 was ap proved, and an emergency was declared, permitting part of the sum to be drawn from the city's emergency fund. At the conclusion of the agenda items, Mayor James Dunlevy recognized William Doernbach, 143 Mace rd., who had expressed a desire to ad dress the council. Doernbach alluded to the recently concluded Heintz Construction company suit against the city, which was settled out for court for $21, 650, less about $3,200 which the firm owed the city. He said he had read the some 900 pages of the trial transcript and was surprised the city had settled out of court since, in his opinion, Doernbach said, "the city seemed to be ahead." However, he said that Heintz must have had the better case or the city wouldn't have settled." That question was answer ed by Councilman Robert L. Van Sickle who said that in view of the $95,000 suit against the city and other con siderations, it had seemed ad visable to the council to set tle, "against the advise of our city attorney." Doernbach was critical of the city's methods of letting contracts and for "forgetting to abide by the rules of the contract" after it has been awarded. He charged the city had made certain changes in tha 1958 sanitary sewer contract for the Kenwood-Grandview, Laurelhurst additions, which had cost the residents of those areas "a lot of money." Duff said that the city's changes in grade and align ment during the project had saved the district "over $30, 000." "We can show this by tha record," he said, and he offer, ed to let Doernbach see tha records "anytime" to prove his point. The 50-minute meeting was presided over by Mayor James Dunlevy. AH council men were present except Rob ert Baccus. The next regular meeting of the council is scheduled Aug. 1. DOLE PINEAPPLE JUOC 46-., L can l J S for Prices Good Mon., Tues., Wed.
