Former Nyssa Resident * ♦ (From the Nyswa High Bulldog) Dear Rosa, Yes, we will miss you. Throughout the year you have given the students and the faculty of Nyssa High School an idea of life in Chile. You have given your time and talents to broaden our knowledge of your country by living in one of our homes and attending our school. For this experience you con sented to leave your home, family and friends in Chile for a complete school year. You also donated much of your time to help make the Chilean festival and other worthy causes a success. Pro ceeds of the festival and other American Field Service projects go toward sponsoring another foreign exchange student. We hope you have enjoyed your stay with us this year and also that some day you will return, feeling that you will be at home once again with us. May your feelings to ward the United States be taken back to your home coun try with you to share with others as you have transmitted good will from your country. Because most of us students have never traveled ex tensively abroad, the life and customs of a South Ameri can country seem very far off. However, your presence in our school has brought the likeness of a far-off place nearer. We wish you luck in the future. —Your Friends at NHS. Youih Warned of Smoking Dangers By Cancer Society Research Director A plea for teenagers not to start smoking and repeated statements of evidence that smoking cuts years and “pleasure" from your life came this week from an Institute on Smoking and Health at Oregon State university. Young smokers (those who start in junior and senior high) are the big losers, Dr. E. Cuvier Hammond, statistical research director for t h t* American* Cancer society, emphasized. Why don’t some heavy smokers “They wind up smoking get lung cancer? more, inhaling more deeply They do, Hammond said. Every and become addictixi to the person who is a heavy smoker point they can’t stop,” he said gets lung cancer in one form or stage. But their death may be caused by other things before cancer kills them, he added. Circulatory Effects Described Dr. Joseph T. Doyle, professor of medicine at Albany Medical college, N.Y.. said that circulatory effects of tobacco smoking are greatest with cigarettes, because cigarette smoke is easily inhaled and permits the absorption of substantial amounts of nicotine Nicotine causes the widespread discharge of adrenalin from the Disadvantage* Cited heart, blood vessels and brain, he Dr. Hammond said most smok continued. ers give “pleasure" as their reason The consumption of a package for smoking.

For a two-pack-plus pital, said smoking appears now emoker, the death rate is 2% to be the factor associated with greater than for the non-smoker disability and death from chronic Of 32.392 non-smokers studied in bronchitis and emphysema, a dis one project, only four died of lung ease which causes the lungs to cancer.

Three other national medical leaders agreed that “there is no doubt whatever anymore" that smoking — with cigarettes as the big villain — causes cancer, heart and lung diseases, and various other ailments.

Depict Life of Christ' in Musical " 1 Poiential Needs for Elderly Persons Outlined by Speakers al OSU Session If the old are to enjoy a full, rich and satisfying life, the young must be brought up to accept old age as part of their lives and value it in themselves and others, speakers at a Conference on Aging stressed at Oregon State university. In some countries, the aged get an extra measure of honor and respect. In the U. S., this is far from true and programs tor the aged must be rapidly* improved, Dr. Dorothy Lee, move toward integration, not seg Harvard university anthropo regation of older people.” logist, insisted. The importance of helping older The U. S. now has more than 16 million persons over 65. it was noted. This is five times as many as in 1900 and the number is ex pected to double in the next 40 years, The number of persons over 75 is increasing even more rapidly. This number will triple by the year 2000. Dr. Lee was critical of those who categorize old people as a separate group and not as indi viduals. The old are people, she said, and we have to work hard at not dealing with them as though they are a "problem.” Forced Retirement Criticized Forced retirement came under fire in discussion groups. People are living longer, they’re in better health and can work well past 65-70 and up. it was pointed out. America can’t do without these workers — many of them highly trained and more effective than younger people—it was stated. Retirement home pros and cons were debated also. "Let the older people be where they can .,ee the stream of life." it was stated Other comments: "Keep aged persons as an integral part of the community.” "Let’s Dr. Thomas Carlile. Seattle radio logist and past president of the American Cancer society. A Portland, Ore., study of teen age smoking showed that if both parents smoke, 33 percent of the children smoked; if one parent, 25 percent; and if neither parent, less than 15 percent. Tobacco advertising suggests that smoking is a mark of mascu linity, Carlile noted. Some stu dies indicate, however, “that the weaker the masculine character, the more the person tends to smoke.” In view of the medical evidence, why do so many doctors smoke’ The question came from one of the 500 persons attending the in stitute. Said Dr Doyle: "Weak moral fabric." people to maintain their indepen dence was emphasized by Dr. Donald Kent, Office of Aging, U. S. Department of Health, Edu cation and Welfare. Housing, health and employment aids for the aged are most needed, he said. Two Generations of Aged Children alone cannot be relied upon to take care of all the aged now because of the “emergence of two generations of older peo ple,” Kent stated. One out of ev ery three persons past the age of 60 now has a parent living. In the next decade, this figure will grow to two out of three, he said. The nation has a “four genera tion family pattern" now instead of the traditional three. Kent con tinued. The U. S leader believes the nation is moving from the stage of “concern" into a stage of "ac tion and development of goals and suitable programs for older persons.” “We recognize that dependecy does arise and we must provide care with affection, dignity and respect This must be provided not because of who the person is or what he has done, but because he is a fellow human being." Kent concluded. More Known About Aging There is much we do not know about aging, but we know much j more about it than we are now practicing in America, it was noted in discussion. Library services, for example, could be improved for older per sons. A corner for tired eyes could | be set aside, door-to-door service started, "talking'’ books used more and arrangements made to have books projected above bed-, ridden patients. The conference was sponsored by the Department of Family Life and Home Administration in the OSU School of Home Economics, in cooperation with the State Council on Aging and the Gen eral Extension Division, State System of Higher Education Circle Meetings Held By Methodist Women Adrian Community Church Notes The Adrian Community church board will meet at 8 o’clock this evening at the church.
