Written for Nt A Service The thyroid gland lies at the base of the neck in front. It la a gland of Internal secretion, that la. It does not have a duct or passageway which empties Its secretion else where as the salivary glands do in to the mouth. The secretion irom the thyroid goes directly into the blond stream. When the thyroid Is behaving normally. It produces Just enough secretion for the needs of the body Among other things it acts on other glands and helps to maintain the pulse rate. Once in a w hile the thy roid gland starts misbehaving and produces either too much secretion or a secretion which Is In some way abnormal. This results In a condition developing which we call toxio goiter. Symptoms Vary Usually the thyroid gland be- comes somewhat enlarged. The) other symptoms vary, however, the i most common besides enlargement j being a rapid heart rate, protrusion of the eyes, trembling of the hands, nervousness and loss 01 weight. Sometimes these symptoms alone are enough to make a diagnosis. Almost always, however, doctors wish to have a metabolism test roid ia overactive. Toxic goiter should be discovered . as soon as possible before It has! produced damage which may be difficult or slow to overcome. Thej most common form ol treatment I has been surgery. In recent years some other meth-1 ods besides surgery have been ! tried for toxic goiter. For example. I a drug called thiourarll and more recently some of Its relatives have been tried. These drugs seem to be satisini'tory for some patients but not for others, like all strong drugs they must be given with care. Now nulloactlve Iodine la given In some cases and this form of treatment Is proving quite prom ising.

But different types of mills art needed to process all of the harvest from our tree farms, because the logs coma in a variety of species and size. This means we must "diversify" our manufacturing-make many different kinds of products from wood. The only practical way to operate such specialired mills is to group them In one location, to save transportation, administration, power and other costs. All the harvest from tha supporting tree farm is funnelled to the one central site. Here, by efficient operation, we can produce a wide variety of products at a cost which will allow them to compete on the free American market So this company has set up a program of "plant inte gration" that eventually will provide such groups of mills at each mill site. Thus we can utilize all the harvest from our tree farms, create more Jobs, promote continuous operation and build greater security for all. eyerhaeuser Timber Company WORKNO INJHt MCfC NORlHWlSTJQCRtATt PRODUCTS, PAYROLLS AND PROWS 700 Moin St. Phono 3151
