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

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.

plans and specifications for
the paving of 11th st. from
Willamette to Ashland sts.

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.
