Pacific Northwest Firms In Argentina When Pacific Northwest man. ufacturers go "international", their accountants and business counselors go with them. Bue nos Aires, Hong Kong, Tokvo airline baggage checks are among the many you see fre quently on the luggage of busi ness friends at Portland Inter national Airport terminal. Returning recently from Bue nos Aires, where two financial planning meetings were held for Northwest firms now going into Argentina, was William F. Meyer, head of the accounting firm of Yergen and Meyer. Portland. The organization "has long had a local office in Med ford managed by Glenn Schnei der, CPA, also a partner. Meyer stated that a dozen companies represented by his firm are op erating now in South America and the Orient and require tra vel of staff members to Tokyo, Hong Kong and Buenos Aires. Companies represented by Meyer in Buenos Aires are Northwest manufacturers of equipment and supplies for the fruit industry, which offers a rapidly expanding market in Argentina's fruit growing Rio Negro Valley. These companies, like a number of other well known local manufacturers, arc expanding in South America and the Orient through joint ven tures with foreign firms, Meyer stated. Like Yakima Valley Commenting on the growth of Argentina fruit industries. Meyer said, "The Rio Negro Valley in Argentina is a dead ringer for the Yakima Valley, even to their river. They grow and pack 20.000,000 boxes of ap ples and export half of them," Meyer reported. "While the largest portion .of Argentine ex ports go to Venezuela and Bra zil, their growers arc just as concerned about the European Common Market as Yakima, Medford and Hood River growers." A unique crop in the Rio Ne gro fruit district is regular rows of popular trees grown as wind breaks for the orchards and harvested as wood box material to pack fruit from the same orchards. Usually fast growth permits cutting of these trees in as few as ten years, Meyer stated. "Expanding fruit production in South America, Africa and other areas does not necessarily mean competition for our own great fruit growing districts since the harvesting season is in January and February in the southern hemisphere. However, there are benefits in having Northwest firms that manufac ture equipment and packing supplies participate in this add ed foreign business," Meyer dis closed. "Development and manufacturing costs of equip ment and supplies used here at home are kept lower by the add ed volume and profits from for eign sales generally are pumped back into our own economy."

At What Age Does a Woman Become Infertile? Every week 1 get letters from women, usually around the age of 50, each of whom says that she keeps having heated argu ments with her husband as to when she will be "safe" as re gards the bearing of a child. She docs not want to have a "menopause baby." Some of these women are still very an xious, even three or four years after they have had the meno pause. On turning to the records of111,1.""" amas e, ln? "lving-in" hospitals, 1 find that I wa,ch for imZcl s,,als- suth very few infants are ever bornia,s. nausea much weakness, a to women over the age of 46 years. One American author ity on obstetrics tells me that he confined one woman who said she was 52, and I have had let ters from two or three women who said that their mother had a child when she was 52. How ever, I cannot be sure of these statements because I have not ! seen the woman's birth certifi cate. On consulting the United States census figures, I find again that hardly any children are born to women who are over the age of 48. Accordingly, I think that if a woman is 48, and especially if she hasn't mcn stratcd for six months, she is not at all likely to bear a child. Today I get a letter from a woman who says that at oper ation, both her fallopian tubes were removed. She wants to : know if a surgeon could make i lubes for her so that she can have a child. 1 have read sev eral statements by surgeons, saying they could make some thing that would look like a tube, but they doubted very much if it would function as a tube and enable the woman lo get pregnant. Search For Persons With Active Tuberculosis How I wish (hat all of our people who have a chronic cough, or a chronic mild fever, or who occasionally spit a little I blood would realize what a serv ice to humanity they would per-, ii in il iney wuuiu gu uicmv i to their doctor or to the local ; health department, and have i their lungs checked with an x-ray film, and their sputum with a microscopic test. Why is this so needed? Be cause if all people wilh tubercu r. .v,.,,.. ',.. i,,. .. hi it,-;, i would save the lives of a num bcr of the people they live with, j and especially the children. Also, if they all were to get! cured, the country would soon i i be free, of tuberculosis, and the I disease would have gone the i way ol tne once universal iy- phoid fever, diphtheria, and , "shaking ague." ' New Drugs lor the Nervous In recent years, many drugs have been found that will either quiet nervous and distressed pa- tients or will stimulate those been a great increase in the percentage of patients dis- charged each year, ! Thus I read that between the years of 1955 and I9W), in the New York State hospitals, the number of persons who had to be restrained was lessened from 27 per 1.000 to two per 1.000. while the number of persons be- ing given tranquilizing drugs went up from 20 per 1.000 lo some son per 1,000. Not all of the melancholic per sons can be helped by the anti depressant drugs, but evidently many persons arc being helped because I hear that, of late, the number of patients who hav e to AW ..laT .. hit a broken rail. About 25 persons were in jured when 16 of the 19 cars spilled off the tracks. Three of the cars overturned. (UPI) Roundup receive clectroshock treatments is half of what it used to be. One of the good things that tranquilizers do in a mcntnl nospual is to make many an ex cited and uncooperative patient so well - controlled and rational that he will sit down with a psychiatrist to talk to him, to listen to him, and to profit from his help. One sad thing about the new drugs is that many of them have unpleasant side reactions. and hence the doctor and the """ .

The bill would call for exhaustive study of the feasibility here of the system currently in use in 8)i countries including 90 per cent of the world's population today. Unprecedented pressures for our conversion to Ihe Metric System are now coming from some of our nation's most pow erful scientific, educational and industrial forces. While, of course, a changeover would be spread over decades a time-span most often suggested is a full generation or 33 years our conver sion is considered essential and inevitable. When and as we do take the giant step, we would dispense with the inch, the pound, the foot, the yard, Ihe mile, the pint, quart and gallon, the teaspoonful and lablespoonful, Ihe bushel and barrel, fathoms and fractions. Instead, we would use Ihe beautifully simple, neat Metric equivalents of grams and kilo grams, meters and killometers, liters and kiloliters. What would so radical n changeover mean to us? All distances would be converted from miles In kilome ters ami millions of new load signs would have to be posted across the country. A distance of 2,501) miles, for instance, would become approximately -t.OlKl kilometers. All desk rulers, dress pattern, nuts and bolts would have to be redesigned from terms of inches, feet and yards to me ters, centimeters and millimeters. When ordering material, you'd specify meters, not yards. All measuring cups, milk bottles, butcher scales and gaso line tanks would have to be changed. Instead of 10 gallons of gas, you'd ask for around 40 liters, lnstaead of a cup of sugar, a recipe would call for about 200 grams. As for your new baby, you'd announce its weight at around 3.2 kilograms, not seven pounds. All packages would have to be replaced to indicate Ihe con venient, round metric sizes instead of today's pounds, quarts, etc. All postal weighing scales and postal rates would have to be switched to the metric letter and package weights. Eventually, conversion would mean new sizes and shapes of products ranging from home water and gas meters to huge factory machines and machine tools. For us who are adults it would mean a re-cducation process to accustom us to the new measures and for school children, new textbooks to teach them the motor and liter For science and industry, it would mean re-doing literally millions of technical designs and specifications. For commerce, it would mean re-pricing most of the products we use accord ing to new weights, lengths and volumes. Why even contemplate so enormous a task at a cost con servatively estimated as running into the billions? Because by maintaning our cumhcrsunic system of weights and measures, wc ure getting uul of step with most of the rest of the world. More ami more countries which once usrd the traditional "English" measurements system, arc changing over. Recent "converts" include Japan. India, Red China. Even the few English-speaking holdouts in addi tion to us arc indicating increasing interest in switching to the "international language" of the Metric System. Says Ihe atomic scientist, Dr. Edward Teller, "If wc do not change, we shall lose in the economic competition with Russia.' Says Floyd Hough, an official of the American Geophysical ion, "The preference in South America for European im- Union, "The preference in South America for European im-1 yvi io may 111: uui; iu tiitii v.miimiuii iwifiuu ul un.i measurements. In this age of ever closer lies with other nations, it is imperative that something be done about the inexcusable complexity and non-conformity of the English system." Says Ihe Metric Assn., a non-profit organization headquar tered in Washington, "Adoption of the Metric System is a world trend thai cannot be stopped." Still, the costs, the confusion and rc-cducation involved in a changeover are terrifyingly formidable. The next column will analyze the arguments against as well as for.

"How do I feel about spend ing Christmas in jail away from my family? I can't put that into words," he said grimly, his eyes a little moist. This will be his first Christmas away from homo since he has been mar ried. Won't Be the Same From the standpoint of family togetherness and merriment. Christmas won't be the same to Jim. Spiritually this Christmas will mean a lot more to him. For the first time in 10 years he has realized that he is an al coholic and he can't solve the problem by himself. He needs help. He needs the help of oth ers who have "been down Ihe same road." But, he also needs the spiritual strength which can come only from God just believing in God is not enough," he emphasized. You must do something about it. You must be completely hon est and sincere about your problem or forget it," he added. Jim, once a successful winn ing man, was sober last Christ mas. He had a good time with his family. In fact, it may have been part of the four nvjnths when he didn't touch a drop. But, he did turn back to h - quor. And that s Ins story. Breaks Probation His story came out in nils and pieces over two thick mugs of black steaming coffee in "the interrogation room' ol the county jail two days before Christinas. Jim is in jail for i breaking bis probation Irom a j misdemeanor conviction, lie started drinking again and will oc in county jail one long year, His "rap sheet" shows a series of sentences for being drunk or for misdemeanor offenses all lied in with bis drinking. "1 was gone as soon as I took the first drink," he related. "1 was overseas and I was drink ing lo show my manhood. 1 passed out." At first he could lake il or leave it alone. Gradually he drank more frequently. At Ihe same time he felt he had a menial illness and turned him self in to a government hospi tal after returning from over seas. But the hospital was crowded then and the doctors and nurses didn't have much lime for what may have seemed to Ihcm a comparatively minor problem. His treatment was brief and he was out again.
