OREGON NOT SEA TREGEDY What appears to be the aftermath of a tragedy at sea, with hundreds of survivors clinging to boats and rocks, is merely an air view of a typical scene at Hayama, Japan. Thousands of Japanese packed the beaches to seek relief from the heat and some of the better swim mers swam out to these rocks.

This is a fair ly com m o n skin disea s e, the cause of which is un known. It usually affects children, and is likely to be ushered in by high fever, Aivares neaaacne, ana i badly inflamed mouth. The child may have a conjunc tivitis (inflammation around the eyes), and what looks like a bad cold. After this, there may appear small blobs of fluid in the skin, and the pa tients Is likely to be toxic and prostated with pains in joints and muscles. The outlook in these cases Is always full of anxiety The treatment Is with corll-sone-like drugs. Summer Allergies According to Drs. Louis Tuft and Leonard S. Girsh, of Philadelphia, It is usually easy to recognize hay fever because of much sneezing, itching in the nose, and the running of a watery fluid out of the nose; also irrita tion of the eyelids. Often a good allergist can tell in a minute what the cause is, just by noting the date when the trouble begins nd later when it ends. For instance; rag-weed hay fever occurs in mid -August and September, when the hay is harvested, hence the designa tion, "hay fever." In the early days, people used to apeak of rose fever; but rose pollen is too large and heavy to be wind-borne. As the doctors say, it is easy to develop asthma as a complication following much hay fever. Hence it is a good idea to treat hay fever ener getically and to get rid of it early. If asthma recurs with vary- i n g degrees of intensity throughout the summer and extends Into the fall, the al lergist will suspect that at mospheric molds are either the sole cause or an addition al cause. In these cases the asthma is likely to over shadow the occasional epi sodes of hay fever. Atmos pheric molds are much more p r e v alent in agricultural areas than on the Eastern seaboard. In the Great Lakes region some people get asth ma from emanations from the Caddis fly. Dr. Alvarez has prepared a small booklet called, Al lergy. Hav Fever and Asth ma," which discusses various forms of allergies and sug gests treatments. You may get a copy of It by sending 25 cents and a ' self - addressed, stamped envelope with your rpnupst to Dr. Walter C. Al varez, Dept. MMT, Box 57, Dos Moines 4, Iowa. Ml. Jefferson Wild Area Proposed Portland-IUM- Regional For ester J. Herbert Stone of the U.S. Forest Service here has proposed establishment of a flfi,944 acre Ml. Jefferson Wild area in the Cascades. He said the proposed site has been under Intensive For est Service study for the past few years. It would take the place of the existing 86,700 acre Ml. Jeffqrson Primitive Area which has been so classi fied since the early 1930s. The proposed wild area Is dominated by the namesake peak, Oregon's second highest and is located some (10 miles southeast of Salem. Besides 10,497 foot Ml. Jef ferson, the proposed wild area contains 200 miles of trails, nearly 100 lakes, and an abun dance of game, Stone said. 'Big Medicine' Uses Labor Techniques In Campaign Funds Washington - (CQ) - "Big Medicine" is stealing some leaves from "Big Labor's" book as it moves into the field of large-scale political spend ing. In 1962, Its first year of full operation, the new Amer ican Medical Political Action Committee (AMPAC), an off shoot of the American Medi cal Assn., reported spending $248,404 on the national level. AMPAC is financed by vol untary contributions from physicians and dentists and has as its primary purpose the defeat of all-encompassing federal medical care pro grams - especially President Kennedys "medicare" pro gram for the aged under So cial Security. Donations al most always go to Republi cans except for some conserv ative Southern Democrats. Like "Big Labor," how ever, "Big Medicine reports nationally but a fraction of Its actual political outlays. Major expeditures are made by slate committees which are not required to report nationally. Moreover, AMPAC lists a major part of its budget as educational and thus ex empt from reporting laws - a technique long used by organ ized labor. And like COPE (Ihe AFL- CIO's Committee on Political Education), AMPAC lists dis bursements from its national headquarters to the field as transfers to stale or local groups, rarely if ever showing the name of the Senate or House candidate for whom the funds are intended. Labor Funds Lead If reported outlays may be taken as a measure, AMPAC still lags well behind organ ized labor's political expendi tures. A M P A C ' s reported $248,484, for instance, is less than a third of the $761,468 figure which the national COPE reported. Total labor expenditures In 1962, as reported nationally, were $2,305,331.

Field Operations Like organized labor, or ganized medicine has an auto matic national network for political contact at its dis posal. Organi.ed labor em ploys its locals and their members; AMPAC can work directly wilh doctors in every city and hamlet of the land. Labor may have more man power immediately at its com mand, but the political influ ence of doctors is not to be underrated. AMPAC and labor groups met in head-on clashes in a number of 1962 contests. Con tests to which both devoted particular attention, with AMPAC backing the Repub- Retired Worker Investment Can Produce Dividends New York - (DTD - The re tired worker represents an investment, and one which can pay dividends, John J. (Jack) Smith believes. He believes in the Idea strongly enough that he has built a magazine around it, and put it into the hands of about 150,000 men and wom en, retired or approaching re tirement age, through the companies which employed them. "A company with even a minimum pension," he said, "ordinarily has at least $18,- 000 tied up through its own play in any retired person. And this does not take So cial Security into considera tion, although the company has paid out at least $12,000 for each employee reaching retirement age. "The total is more than the average company may spend per capita on plant and equip ment during the employee's working lifetime. Method of Approach "When I started the maga zine, Harvest Years, this was the way that I approached companies which I thought should be interested. "Their retired workers are not merely 'off the payroll.' If they have a device through which they can adjust them selves successfully to retire ment and many persons are not ready for it when it comes they can remain as assets to the company which employed them. "They can help in recruit ing new workers, if they be lieve that they still can be useful to their former em ployers. They are natural salesmen for the company's products and services; in community affairs, provided they find how to participate, they can be of benefit to the concern for which they once worked." The fact that a company subscribes to a magazine de voted solely lo the interests of retired persons is a tan gible evidence, Smith be lieves, of its interest in the retired worker, and the read er of the magazine cannot help but feel a sense of satis faction. Smith, a former Marine who once was a magazine salesman, is only 36 years old. His idea for the magazine evolved from many conversa tions with persons approach ing retirement; he found that most of them were apprehen sive, fretful at the prospect of lank of daily occupation, and at the problems involved 1 in living on a reduced income. i neueve tnat most per sons in retirement do not want government handouts, he said. "They want to make their own way. But a lot of them just don't know how, and many are too proud to ask for help. Every Side Presented "In Ihe magazine, we try to avoid a "do this' or 'don't do this' approach. It is built around the idea of 'do it your self.' We try lo present every side of every question which may be raised in the life of a person in retirement trav el, investment, food, medical care, all of them. "We think we have put the idea across. Our own surveys show and the figure Is hard lo believe that 91 per cent lican and labor the Democrat in each case, included: William E. Brock II! (R) vs. Wilkes T.
