"By Oct. 15," Holmer said, "more than 14 per cent of the biennium will have passed, and we cannot afford to delay cuts if we are to prevent a deficit." Holmer was joined by State Sen. Debbs Potts, Grants Pass, in defending the bill at a public forum sponsored by the Grants Pass branch of the American Association of University Wo men. Speak in Opposition Speaking in opposition to the tax bill were Mrs. John R. Boe, Grants Pass housewife, and Gene L. Brown, local attorney and former state legislator. Mrs. Boe termed the threat of an across-the-board cut the "easy way out," and said the legislature should take respon sibility for not coming up with a satisfactory measure and should find other ways out with out damaging children's educa tion. Brown said that taxes are high because people have de manded too many state services in the past, and that the time has come to notify state offi cials that "we have to live within our means." A "Yes" vote, he said, would only be interpreted as meaning that people want these in creases, and they would go on and on until there is another referral. Holmer quashed the hope that tne state could continue into this biennium living within its former education budget, point ing out that the swelling school population would necessitate substantial budget increases even to keep up with the serv ices rendered during the last biennium. Ackr wledges Cost Brwn, while acknowledging that school costs go up as the numbers of children increase, maintained that during the past 20 years the costs had increased by much greater percentages than the school census figures. Holmer said opponents of the tax bill fall into two camps: those who believe government is too expensive and those who . believe Oregon needs a differ ent kind of tax. Of these, the economy group seems to be the larger, he said, and it would be difficult for the governor or Legislature to in terpret a "No" vote as any thing other than a directive to cut $60 million out of the budget. Mrs. Boe pointed out that Dr. jonn . hly, of Princeton, In a tax study ordered by the legis lature in 1958, said that another source of taxes would be re quired when the state budget reached $333 million, a point be yond which it has now gone. Brown quoted the study as say ing that at this point the state could no longer maintain its tax base on a "two-legged stool but would have to find a "third leg." Oregon Youths To Remain in Boys Town, Judge Says OMAHA, Neb. (UPI) Juve nile Judge Seward Hart Wed nesday ruled two youngsters who were sent here by bus from Oregon to try to get into Boys Town could be placed in the in stitution. Hart ruled Daniel Presnell, 12, and his brother, Ronald, 10, were neglected and dependent. The boys arrived here Sept. 19 from Salem, Ore., with 86 cents and a note from their mother, Mrs. Betty Hackworth. She said she was ill and unable to care for the youngsters and hoped they could be accepted by Boys Town. After taking testimony at a hearing in Douglas County Ju venile Court, Hart ruled that Boys Town would be "by far tne best place lor tne boys." Temporary Basis They originally were kept at the Douglas County Youth Cen ter, but were transferred to Boys Town on a temporary basis a weeK ago. Robert Haney, the court-appointed attorney who represent ed the boys, said Oregon author ities assured him they would not seek to have the boys returned if they were placed in Boys Town. Mrs. Hackworth and the boys' stepfather wrote Msgr. Nicholas Wegener, director of Boys Town, that they would be grateful if the boys could be cared for at the world-famous institution. The boys, who testified at Wednesday's hearing, said they "like it real well" at Boys Town, 1 Jsmm'T'"'"! OCTOBER 13TH for Interesting Storiet and Exciting Features The Lowdown on Love!

Such a s t a t e ment does not mean anything Jj to a geneticist, Aivare. ior several rea sons one is that in many cases there are relatives with a form of the disease so mild or so atypical, or so as yet undevel oped that they are what we doctors call "carriers;" they stay well, or well enough, but they can pass the disease off to a child. Oftentimes the parents of a child will never tell him that there was an uncle or aunt or great - uncle or great aunt or grandparent who had the di sease which then missed a generation or two. For instance, one day when I saw a girl of 18 who was. still wetting the bed, she told me she knew of no one else in her family who had had this diffi culty. But when I had made friends with the mother suffi ciently so that she was willing to talk frankly with me, I learn ed of three near relatives who had wet the bed until they were in their late teens. As we all know, in many families such unpleasant facts (skeletons in the closet) are never discussed before anyone not even a near relative. There is another reason why sometimes people with a hered itary disease don t know of other examples of it in the family; and this is because of what the geneticists call a "low pene trance. By this they mean that wltn certain familial diseases, several persons who inherited the tendency never came down with the illness. Hence, perhaps it missed several generations. May Find Sugar read of a woman who "broke the rules" and Droved to be a hemophiliac bleeder (only boys are supposed to get this di sease). What happened was that her father, who was a bleeder, married the carrier daughter of a bleeder. By getting the defect from both father and mother, the tendency to the disease was so strong that it was too much, even for a girl to resist. Another interesting fact is that a few persons with a cer tain inherited disease may have another related disease. For in stance, a study of 519 leukemic children, made by Dr. R. W. Miller of Bethesda, Maryland, showed the incidence of mon golian feeble - mindedness to be higher than normal. This amply confirmed what had already been observed many times, but in mucn smaller groups. Also, serious congenital defects, oth er than mongolism, were found twice as often among the leu kemic children as among the population as a whole. Cancer of Thyroid Gland A follow - up study on three quarters of a group of 200 pa tients who, some 14 years be fore had been given radio-active iodine for the treatment of can cer of their thyroid gland, has been made by Drs. T. P. Hay nic, M. M Nofal and W. H. BeierwaJtes, of Ann Arbor, Mi chigan. What is hopeful is that now 67 per cent even of those who had a scattering of tumor cells into the lymph nodes in the neck, and S3 per cent of even those who had daughter growths scattered throughout the body are apparently cured. All of those who were found to be alive and well three years aft er their course of treatment have apparently remained cur ed. This is one of a number of very hopeful reports which show that a few decidedly successful treatments for certain types of cancer are being worked out. A point we must remember is that probably we will not get one big, 100 per cent cure for Still another reason why a all cancers we will get a person with, let us say, diabetes number of perhaps 90 per cent win protest, - But 1 have five cures tor tne many amerent brothers and sisters and none types of cancer. A few of these of them have it." Yes, It may be so at the time, but 30 years later, when these sibs (broth ers and sisters) are in their 50s, one or two of them may una sugar in weir urine. I got to thinking of this prob lem just now as I read that among a small group of deeply religious farmers, most of whom marry within their small group, a hereditary defect sometimes shows up decidedly, much as it might show up in a marriage of first cousins. For instance, in one family of eight children, four are "a c h o n d r o pastic" dwarfs, with a big body and a big head, but very short arms and legs. What almost certain ly happened in that family was that both the father and the mother were carriers of a ten dency to this type of bodily defect. Similarly, as I write this, I It A THAT'S GERALD McBOING- BOING'S WAY0F SAYING WET YOUR WHISTLE WITH A CARTON OF CLEAN-TASTING Tilm JUST ON THE LIGHT SIDE OF LEMON AND LIME A PRODUCT OF PEPSI-COtA COMPANY O If tl, riFtLCOLA COMrAlir Bottled by Pepsi-Cola Co. of Mcdford Under Appointment from Peptl-Cola Company, New York, N.Y. cures are coming along quietly without any fanfare. When, as in the case of the highly ma lignant kidney cancers of chil dren, the mortality used to be about 100 per cent, we should now be rejoicing because with a new drug and a new technic, more than half of these chil dren are being saved. This is no mean accomplishment! There are several types of goiter about which the person who suspects thyroid trouble should know. Dr. Alvarez tells about them in his booklet on the subject. You may get a copy of it by simply sending 25 cents and a self addressed, stamped envelope with your re quest for it to Dr. Walter C. Al varez, Dept. MMT, Box 957, Des Moines, Iowa, 50304. Action Declined On Athletic Fees EUGENE (UPI) - The Uni versity of Oregon faculty Wednesday declined to take ac tion on a Faculty Senate reso lution which in effect asked that compulsory fees collected from students not be used to support intercollegiate athletics. Another motion asking Presi dent Arthur S. Flemming to set up a special committee to study the whole area of compulsory fees was passed with several amendments. The committee is scheduled to report back at a December faculty meeting. Out of a student's present $110 tuition fee, $6.50 now goes to the support of athletics at the university. It amounted to about $17,000 in 1962. Corvallis Teacher Honored at Meet KANSAS CITY (UPI)-Donald Kabler, a vocational agriculture teacher at Corvallis, Ore., was one of 25 teachers honored on the opening day of the annual Future Farmers of America convention Wednesday. Kabler received the FFA's Honorary American Farmer de gree, the highest the organiza tion can bestow on non-members who work within the agriculture field. Hundreds of awards were given out Wednesday and today to high school youths. John Gin gerich, 18, of Canby, Ore., waa named a regional winner In crop farming. ST.
