Member, Aaeeclatee) Frees Mambar Audit Buraau Circulation Today's Roundup Br MALCOLM EPLEY A NUMBER of local people have called our attention to the following item which appeared in Time Magazine, Dec. 31: MUMU AND VIRILITY Many a Pacific veteran eama home with tha gnawing faat . that ha was leu of a man. Raaion for tha fear was a popular baliaf that virility la impairad or destroyed by mumu (filariasis). a disease which 10.000 U. S. service man contracted In the southwatt Pacific Doc tore triad to reassure -them lut aoma victims ware convinced that- tha long, slim worma . in. thalr lymph glanda would eventually caute elephantiasis. (Natives of the tropica who have It are grotesquely swollen masses f flesh.) . To ease the brooders' minds, once and for , all. Captain-Lowell . Tt CoggeshalL tropical. - disease expert of the University of Michigan, took a poll of mumu convalescents at an army hospital near Klamath Falls, Ore. Hia findings, reported without comment In Cali fornia -and- Western - Medicinal mumu men have fathered twice aa many babiee aa wormian veterans. Time erred (as Time like to say it) with respect to. the branch of the service repre sented by the Klamath Falls installation (navy medical and marine corps), and Time also gave a vague and muddled statistical report. Read ing the item at face value, one might sup pose that 10,000 filariasis veterans have had twice as many babies as the millions of other veterans. That is not being curt, clear, com plete. Reading that, it is Just possible that sterile ' couples around the country will soon be writing Dr. Coggeshall for information as to how they can get a shot of filariasis. a a a Correct Conclusion WHAT the Marine Barracks records show in this respect is that there has been a normal rate of pregnancies and births in the families of married marines who returned from the Pacific theater after contracting filariasis. Barracks medicos prepared a chart based on information obtained in the last ' weeks of a training period preparatory to transfer of these marines to another station. It showed that 18 per cent of the marine wives were pregnant or gave birth, and this was interpreted by the Barracks officials aa evidence there had been no interference with the sexual function as a result of filariasis. It is true that this experience at the station Where filariasis marines were exclusively con centrated served to dispel once and for all any apprehension that filariasis was a likely causa of sterility. Time's conclusion in this respect was correct, but it almost spoiled the story by strait-jacketing it into Timelanguage and by- quoting a statistical riddle. Stark's Previw GHARLEY STARK, the chamber of com merce manager, has turned out a likely preview of 1946 for chamber members in the "Klamath Keynotes." We can't carry the snappy illustrations which appear on the mimeographed keynotes, but here is the text: "Watch for streamliners through Klamath Falls as soon as the SP can get them for service between Portland and Frisco. And watch for new busses and automobiles, too, for Improved transportation. "Watch for faster schedules and new rate schedules, with special vacation travel induce ments. "Watch for main line air service connecting Klamath Falls with major west coast cities. Watch for feeder line service to nearby com munities. "Watch for an early, return of civilian fly ing' at the Klamath municipal airport, with flying schools, charter service, sales and serv- ' ice of private aircraft and all the features of a major airport. "Watch for construction of new homes. Pres ent serious shortage will become worse as the remaining 3000 boys from Klamath county are discharged from service. Others from sections of the country less attractive than this are also interested. in moving here many of them to go into business or industry with adequate financing in their pockets. ; "Watch for a full-fledged tourist boom. Peo- , " pie have stayed home, through patriotism, necessity . or other reasons, for so long that ; they are going to hit the highways in droves.. Top tourist facilities will flourish. "Watch for (and WORK for) many addition al benefits for Klamath county. Improvements . don't just happen. They come about as a re sult of the planning, and effort, and .financing of persons interested in making their county ' a better place in which to live, work and play."

It means hardship and death not only in Paris but far be yond. For we are sitting nere on the edge of a continent that is largely without coal or any other fuel. Eurotie is struggling with the most dangerous wlntor it has experienced in modern times. Offices, hotels and homes In Paris and other cities are only partially heated at best and many have no heat at all. If you have an apartment, for instance, you are lucky to be ablo to have a fireplace or stove In one room going for a short time each day of extreme cold. Fortunutcly there's gas enough for moderate cooking purposes. Electricity for lighting is cut off for cer tain hours each day. Lumps of coal are In truth black diamonds, for the ration ing is harsh. A person living alone is allowed only 330 pounds for the wholo winter. A married couple get double that amount, but there is a reduc tion per person for larger fam ilies. People In the rural dis tricts aro allowed to use wood, but they can't sell it in the cities. If you are the owner of a coun try .estate you may bring wood into the city for your own use provided you give the same amount 10 cnarity. One of the most serious as pects of this fuel shortage rests in the fact that the people have been underfed throughout the years of war. As a result their resistance to disease has been lowered, and this winter weath er is depleting office staffs everywhere through illness.
