Heart Program Offers Films
Dr. J. B Steward, St. Helens
physician and Wade Patterson,
Oregon Heart association state
program consultant, were guest
speakers at the November 7th
Central Labor council meeting
held in the council hall, St. Hel
ens, Oregon.
Dr. Steward defined various
heart diseases and told how scien
tists are making great progress
toward finding the causes and
cures of America's No. 1 killer.
Last year, over 50 per cent of ail
deaths in Oregon wer- attributed
to heart and cardiovascular dis
ease; yet, new hope is being
brought to the people of America
and Oregon through research
grants extended to scien
tists all over the United States.
Dr. Steward pointed out that
in Oregon $24,370.00 has been
allocated for research projects for
1957 at Oregon State college,
Reed college. University of Ore
gon Medical school and several
hospitals. These grants are made
possible through the public’s sup
port of the annual Heart Fund
drive held each February.
Mr. Patterson explained how
the $930.00 collected in Columbia
county last February helped sup
port the association’s three-fold
program of research. educatioM
and community service.
Anyone interested in having
free films and literature on the
subject of heart may contact the
Oregon Heart association, 1133
S. W. Morrison Street, Portland

tion.

If you’ve wondered...here are some things you should know
Gasoline prices have not risen as much as
other products. The only fair » ay to compare Is with
other things you buy. The U. S. Cost of Living Index
shows the over-all cost of living isup 102.3', since 1939.
During that time the price of gasoline rose only 62.8' „
not including taxes.
Taxes add about 9c to the coat of every gallon.
Thus, nearly 30‘ t of your gasoline dollar does not buy
gasoline ... it’s for state and federal tax. These taxes go
to help build and improve the roads we all enjoy. How
ever, ae must include them as part of the price you pay
for a gallon of gasoline.
Research also helps keep gasoline prices
down. Standard and the oil industry employ more
than 15,000 full-time researchers . . . invest more than
$160 million each year to develop ways to find and pro
duce oil more efficiently, and to make more and better
products at a lower cost
Gasoline quality is much better.Then < a perform
ance bonus for motqrists in the big improvements that
have ts-en made in gasoline over the years. Quality ha<
risen so fast that the regular gasoline you buy today is
comparable to the premium gasoline of just ten years ago.
Oil is getting harder to find and more expen
sive to develop. In 1956 our average cost for a »ell
»as $149,000 ... up 40' over the past five years. In
1956 we completed 101 wells in the Gulf of Mexico
« here drilling costs can be six times as much as on land.
Competition helps keep gasoline prices low.
There are 300 oil refining companies in the V. S. Each
tries to make better products and give better service
than the others. At the same time the refiner must keep
his prices competitive or face the loss of customers.
