The new slant: go ahead and worry, but don't worry about your worrying. That was the word today from Dr. Robert W. Wilkins of Boston, an authority on an ailment that afflicts some 15 million Ameri cans. A former president of the Amer ican Heart Association, Dr. Wil kins told interviewers: "We used lo say to a patient with high blood pressure, 'take it easy and don't worry." "Well, if there are two things a hypertensive congcnitally can not do, it's those two things. "By and large, there are some lazy hypertensives. But, in fam Hies of hypertensives, if traced, they are go-getters. They are en thusiastic and they worry to beat hell. "They may not look it. They look placid, but this isn't deep seated in the psyche somewhere where you have to dig it up with a pitch fork with a psychiatrist, "They are tense people. I never tell my patients not to worry. In stead, I say: 'You are going to worry, just don't worry about the fact that you worry.' "I don't ever tell them to take it easy. The hypertensive needs to work off a lot of emotional energy in activity. And U s a common ex-. pcrience, particularly in (the use of) drugs, that patients' blood pressures will come down on ex ercise, and not go up." 'Court Nixes Exhibit WASHINGTON (AP) - An ex nibit by the City of Seattle was ruled out Thursday by the Federal Power Commission in a hearing on conflicting proposals for hydro electric projects on ihe Pend Ore ille River in Washington. The exhibit was a geographical geological model of a section of the Pend Oreille River valley, pre pared by geological consultants for the city. Richard S. White, attorney for Seattle, argued the model was In tended lo clarify testimony about the area involved in the opposing applications by the city and the Pend Oreille County Public Utility District. : J. K. Chcadlc, attorney for min ing Interests which oppose dams in the area, said the model "is more confusing than clarifying." He argued that what the model intends to show has been or can be introduced in the hearing rec ord by maps or other documents. Chinook was used verbally in the Pacific Northwest for a cen tury. It is a combination of Eng lish. French and Indian languages. Pharmacist Joins Staff Lowell P.

(AP) -The 19-year-old freckle-faced par atrooper looked up from his wheelchair and said "I'm pretty lucky." Francis J. Dolaher thinks his luck arrived the day he made his ninth jump with the 101st Airborne Division. His parachute opened only five feet instead of the usual 32, and Dolaher plunged 1,250 feet to earth, landing a mass of broken bones and internal injuries. He re ceived last rites twice. But he lived. That was 80 days ago. Now Dol aher is 70 pounds below his nor mal 183, but expecting to walk with only a stiff ankle after an other year of treatment. Dolaher says "God was with me, I guess. Up till then, I'd just been average lucky." After his fall "it took me a while to get used to the idea" of being alive. "But as long as I was alive, I decided to stay alive." What caused the near-tragedy? In . Dolaher's words? "I don't know if I blacked out or what, First thing I remember is: I looked- up and saw my para chute lines were twisted. I tried to shake them out but before I could do anything I hit the ground." Dolaher, a private, wants to fin ish a three-year enlistment that began in June of 1958 with the lotst. His home is Charlestown, Mass. And although he's resigned to no more jumping, he sighed: "I'd never even been in a plane before I joined up. But I got so 1 liked jumping. I'd like to have made a few more jumps."

People Read SPOT ADS you are Old Age Benefit Payments .Up 25 Per Cent In County As of February li'59, old-age. .survivors, and disability insurance monthly benefits were being paid in Klamath County at the rate of $2,156,000 a year, according to Wit her Wonier, manager of the Klam ath Falls social security office. "This is an Increase of about 25 per cent over last year," Wo nier said. He stressed that while the bene fits are intended primarily for the beneficiary's economic, security, the payment of social security ben efits at the rate of over two mil lion dollars a year in Klamath County helps business in the com munity generally because most of the money is spent immediately on food, clothing, and other neces sities. "In February social securi ty benefits were being paid nation ally at a rate of nearly 10 billion dollars annually." "Payments to a retired worker average $71.60 a month nationally in February, and to a retired cou ple $119.40 a month," Womcr said The average for a widow with two young children was $185. The maxi mum payment for a family is $254. There were several reasons for the increase in beneficiaries over last year. The long-term growth of the aged population and of the proportion of the aged population eligible for benefits are important factors in the continuing increase in the number of beneficiaries.

Oxygen Fails In Space Ship PHILADELPHIA (Ar J YOU 16 in a. space ship bound for the Moon or Mars. A meteor suddenly strikes lh craft. The collision disables the roc ket's mechanism. Yoyr air supply begins to es cape. You must abandon the ship, but how? Two astronautical engineer; here think they may have the an swer in a "space lifeboat" where in future travelers to the moon or the planets could escape in an emergency. Robert P. Haviland and Harold L. Bloom, of the General Electric Co. said Wednesday they have drawn plans for several types of space lifeboats. They hope to sub mit them, to the government. One of the lifeboats would be a 30-foot rocket about six feet in diameter. It would shelter three men in space for a week. Say a space ship carrying three men is hit by a meteor. They must abandon ship. They quickly climb into the smaller rocket, which would be fastened to the fide of the mother ship or which could be launched from within it, The smaller rocket would be equipped with most of the cssen tials of the mother ship such as an air purification system, food, signal generator, battery, oxygen supply and water.
