J ; V - Iff ft? 4 SYMBOLIC BACKUKOP The statue of Abra ham Lincoln, the president who freed the slaves, serves as a symbolic backdrop of civil rights leader A. Philip Randolph at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D. C. Wednesday. Randolph, March on Washington director, and other civil rights leaders addressed participants at the memorial. (UPI) Sen. Clair Engle Reported in 'Excellent Condition in D. C. Bv United Press International Sen. Clair Engle, D-Calif., was reported to be in "excellent con dition" last week following brain surgery in Washington, lie underwent the operation Aug. 24 to correct what was termed a minor circulatory dif ficulty. But the public didn't get wind of the operation until three days later. The circulation trouble had affected the senator's right arm and leg, his office said. The sur geon reported that the opera tion was "completely success ful" and said Engle should be in the hospital only a week or 10 days. Engle's administrative assist ant said the senator began suf fering cramps in his leg and arm while on a recent trip to Sacramento. When he returned to Washington, D. C, Engle be gan receiving preliminary tests and decided to enter the hospi tal for more extensive examination. The Medical Roundup Emeriius Consultant In Medicine Mayo clinic Emeritus Professor of Aledicint Mayo Clinic (Register aad Tribune Syndicate. 11)63) W UP JMUPM SUICIDE According to a note in "The New Physician," Dr. John L. Bach of Chicago, says that in the United States among persons be tween the ages of 15 and 50 years suicide today is the fifth leading cause of death. It is surprising how many Aivani y o u n g s t ers commit suicide. . I have read that in 1960, 19, 450 persons committed suicide. ..This figure, which is bad enough does not include the 100,000 or more people who die each year from complications causeu by an attempt at suicide which did not immediately kill, but later did. Also, not listed are .the many hidden suicides whose certificates of death are not accurate because the physician did not care to outrage the per son's family. Naturally, t h e family much prefers that their loved one's death read accident and not suicide. We all know of cases in which a man fell out of a window. In such a case the family may know perfectly well that for some time the person had been much depress ed and had been talking of suicide and perhaps threaten ing it; but the official record made is that of an accidental death. Many a person also who took enough capsules of some barbiturate to cause death is put down as having taken a few extra by mistake. I look forward to the day when all people will realize that a person who commits suicide was not bad, but ill or very unhappy. Usually he was badly depressed, and sometimes I happen to know that he had one or two depressed relatives who committed suicide. ' Some elderly people commit suicide because they are dying of disease, or they feel that life no longer holds for them any usefulness or satisfaction or joy. Fortunately, in some coun tries in which suicide used to be looked on as a serious crime, it is no longer so considered. Safety Measures For The Old The National Safety Council recently urged that more efforts be made to keep Grandpa and Grandma from having a bad accident. They say that last year, some 14,000 persons over 65 died from accidents that took place in the home. The leading causes were falls, fires, and the taking of poison by mis take. And so, the Council recom mends that every effort be made to watch out for some thing that the old person can trip over, like a long telephone cord, or a low magazine rack on the floor, or a child s top. Man traps are small rugs which haven't a rubber mat under them, and many is the old lady who has fallen on such a rug, smashed her hip, got pneumonia, and died. All stairways should be light ed at night (with a weak base- plug light). Any old person who has to get up at night, as prac tically all old persons have to do, should have a light left in the bahtroom. If he or she has to go down a hallway, it should be lighted. One of my dear friends got killed because go ing down a dark hall to the bathroom she took the wrong turn and falling down a flight of stairs, she broke her neck. A non-skid wax should be used on floors. Many women are proud of the fact that their floors are extremely well pol ished, but these are trjps for older people, and many a man or woman has died because of a fall on a well-waxed floor. There ought to be hand rails on all stairways, and ideally, there should be grab bars by the bath tub and by the bed. All old people, when they at tempt to get up quickly out of bed or out of a chair, shouid have something that they can hang onto for a moment if they should become very dizzy, as they sometimes do. Smokers should never smoke in bed, especially when alone. That should be an absolute rule. A high percentage of fires in hotel rooms is due to smok ing in bed; and oftentimes the Christmas Tree Growers To Hold Mt. Shasta Meeting Siskiyou County The fall meeting of the California Christ mas Tree Growers will be held in Mt. Shasta on Sept. 13, with a tour of the Ken-Del Christmas Tree Farm on the following day, as announced by Advisor Bill Ruddiman, of the Siskiyou coun ty office of Agriculture Exten sion service. Highlights of the meeting will be a talk on marketing and ship ping Christmas trees by Melvin J. Conklin, professor of agricul ture economics at Oregon State university. Conklin, an authority on the subject, has conducted extensive surveys in the Los Angeles and Bay areas in marketing Christ mas trees, and is the author of "Home Owner Markets for Pa- person who started the file dies in it. All medicines should be kept apart from household cleaning agents. W e must remember that the old person, without his or her glasses, can easily make a mistake, and can take poison instead of a sleeping medicine.

He replaces Professor Stan ley Gessel of the University of Washing ton, previously an nounced as the speaker on the meeting program. The Saturday field tour of the Ken-Del Christmas Tree Farm at Tcnnant will include stops to look at stands of Silver Tips (red fir) now under man agement for Christmas trees, fertilizer trials and adaptation tests of the new hybrid varieties of pines suitable for Christmas trees. Northern Californians interest ed in the production or market ing of Christmas trees are in vited to attend the meeting and the field tour. Information about the p r o gram can be obtained from Ruddiman at the courthouse in Yrcka, and arrangements should be made with him to attend either the meeting or the tour. Doctors diagnosed the diffi culty as stemming from the brain condition and recommend ed surgery. Engle's office said there was no evidence of a tu mor or malignancy. Engle, a supporter of the ad ministration, has spent 20 years in Congress the last five in the Senate. Elsewhere, there were these developments: Murder: A 37-year old mother was accused of killing her hus band with the help of her three teenage sons in an El Monte family murder plot. Los Angeles County sheriff's homicide detec tives charged Mrs. Elsie Farley and her eldest son, Shelby Jr., 18, with murder in the slaying of the bovs' father, Shelby Far Icy Sr., 42. Two younger sons, age 17 and Grange News Upper Rogue Grange The Upper Rogue Grange met recently with Master Roy Vaughn presiding. At a public meeting proceed ing the business session, Repre sentative Edward Branchfield explained the new tax bill, and answered questions about it. On agriculture, Roy Vaughn spoke on the pear harvest, stat ing that there would only be a 20 per cent Bartlett crop. Work on the new highway at Pi spect was reported to be progressing satisfactorily. The resignation of Lecturer Ida Mae Eastman was accepted. The Eastman ranch on Laurel hurst rd. has been sold, and the family is moving from the com munity. For the balance of the year the lecturer's program will be arranged by individual mem bers of the Grange. The Grange potluek dinner held recently was well attended. The HEC will meet Thursday, Sept. 12, for a 1 p.m. picnic lunch at the home of Mrs. Paul Torrance. This will be the first meeting after the summer recess. 13, were held by juvenile m thorities. Detectives swd t family admitted killfR the fa ther, 'a railroad vichman, be cause "he had to a brute for 12 years." Officers also said the victim was a "Mligerent brute husband." The mother and her sons beat the lather, smothered him and then held him below water in a bathtub until he ceased to struggle, detectives said. Hear tor: Dr. Pierre Saint Amand, who studied the Chil ean earthquakes in 1W0, said the Pacific Gas and Electric company's nuclear site at Bode ga Head was the worst founda tion he could envision. Follow ing a two-day visit to the north ern California site, he said the reactor would probably under go 13 feet permanent displace ment in a severe earthquake. Plane: A crippled F104B fight er plane with two astronaut can didates aboard crash landed and burst into flames at Edwards Air Force Base. But both men escaped without injury. The pi lot, Capt. David R. Scott, 31, of La Jolla, stepped from the plane just before it kurst mt fleiecs Capt. Mirhaxt' J. A1ms, 33, of Saeramenta, mate a se.esful ejection immediately U(o im pact. Both men were assigned to the Aerospace Research Pi lot School along with 13 others. March: California cities stag ed their own civil rights demon strations to coincide with the rally in Washington, D. C. At Sacramento, members of CORE conducted a "sunrise service" on the steps of the state cap itol. In San Francisco, a crowd of 1,500 gathered in front of city hall for a 45-minute rally. And in Santa Rosa, a freedom march of 100 suddenly balooned into a parade of more than 1.000 by the time the walkers reached the court house steps. Montgomery: Actor George Montgomery won a desperate struggle for a gun and his life and had to dodge one shot before he overcame a for mer maid whose romantic ad vances he spurned. The woman hid for two days in Montgom ery's Van Nuys home before confronting him on his return from a trip. Police said the wo man, Ruth Wenzel, 37, admitted planning a murder-suicide. Graham: Evangelist Billy Graham told 37,000 persons in Los Angeles that "forced inte gration will never work." Ho added that the racial problem will "not be settled in the street but it could be settled in the hearts of man." Graham, speaking at a rally, said "the Supreme Court or the Con gress can make all the deci sions they feel are necessary. But unless these decisions are implemented by good will, love and understanding, then the tension will increase until it ex plodes in violence." Rocks: John Peter Connolly, 32, of Garden Grove, was kept busy at Lake Tahoe scrubbing rocks along a four-mile stretch of scenic highway. Connolly had thought it would be fun to paint his family's names on the road side rocks. But the fun turned to work when a local judge or dered him to remove the paint. Fair: The 110th California Stale Fair and Exposition opened in Sacramento. Officials hoped (or a record attendance of more than 1 million at the 13 day event, which closes Sept. 9.
