I seldom listen to the
national new* on TV any
more. 1 find no pleasure in
being depressed No one can
listen to the news without
getting the feeling that all
mankind is just no damn
good.
I positively can't believe
that mankind is a scurvy lot
who are delibertly
at
tempting to destroy the
world The foods we eat are
positive poison (in spite of
the fact that our life span is
expanding)
If you eat
animal fats you die from an
overload of cholesterol
If
you eat vegetable oils you are
running a chance of getting
cancer If I believed all of the
scare headlines I'd feel the
same as a man in a
condemned cell.
Facts and figures prove
that a higher percentage of
people are dying from cancer
and circulatory disorders
than ever before
These
flgurrs are true, but some
how or other n Is seldom, if
ever, pointed out just whv
they happen to be
true
People rarely die from
anything else.
This is
especially true m the We
stern culture nations
Small pox. diphtheria,
scarlet fever, mastoid, yellow
fever, typhoid fever, men
ingitis.
pneumonia, in
fluenza. and many
other
one time scourges used to kill
people by the hundreds of
thousands in epidemics
Houses were quarantined so
people could neither go in or
out
Millions of young
people have never known one
of their friends to be
quarantined
Without the new tech
mques in surgery such as
open heart for circulatory
ailment* hundreds of tho
usands of people who would
have been long dead are
alive and useful. Perhaps in
the not too distant future
men of scirnce will find a
cure for cancer then the only
sure mean» of death will be
accidents or war
I'm glad to be alive, and
you should also I wish the
doomsday ervers would hush
up a little bit and permit the
rest of u* to enjoy this
beautiful life we do have I

First National is the only
bank in Oregon offering this
free customer-onented ser
vice which differs signifi
cantly from other check
guarantee programs. The
new service was instituted
after First National deter
mined that the most desired
improvement to a checking
account service wis that
checks be more readily ac

The customer* also wanted a
card which would give them
access to First Dav and Night
Teller, the 14-hour hanking
machine.
First National's Courtesy
card program initiated in
1957. had previously »erved
only as identification for
check cashing in the bank'»
136 statewide offices.
Effective immediately, the
new plastic card is issued to
First National customers who
have demonstrated proper
management of their per
sonal accounts Merchants
can
accept
personalized
checks drawn by card holders
with confidence and they do
not need to sign any agree
ments or pay membership
fees for the new service, as
many banks now require .
The First Courtesy Card
program was expanded to
assure merchants and cus
turners of the confidence
First National has in the
ability of its existing 200.000
cardholders to properly ma
nage their finances Oregon
merchants and the First
Courtesy Card holders are
being notified by mail
The new plastic card will
have a magnetic strip enco
ded with an individualized
identification code giving the
cardholder access to 50 Day
