Back in 1940 the life expectancy of a newborn infant in the United States was 63 years. Today it ia close to 70 years. In the past 20 years we improved life expectancy as much as in the previous 90 years. Why are many of us living so much longer than our grandparents? rroDaoiy Decause more oi us arefletter fed, better clothed, better housed and most important-tett- er life span medicated. Certainly, the tremendous victories won in the war against disease can be credited to the great advances medical science has made in the past few years. And some of the biggest guns in that battle have been the antibiotics the wonder drugs. Recent discoveries have provided our doctors with a disease-fightin- g arsenal of marvelous power and efficiency. Indeed, about of all prescriptions written berculosis, influenza and other killers. Antibiotics have saved thou- -, sands of mothers who once would have died in childbirth. And thousands of babies who would have before their first birth- -' J succumbed day are growing up well and strong because the new antibiotics got t them through their infection-ridde- n i first year. American private industry has j I taken a significant part in the fight Iot health. In 1958, for example, t i jour pharmaceutical companies spent $170,000,000 in research. In 1959, thev upped that figure, to T 1 J190.000.000. That's close to five : times the total spent on all medical , research in 1940 by industry, gov- ernment, universities, hospitals and 1 foundations.

DOUTHAT recognition in Washington that one of the big gest tests confronting the present session of Congress is what it wall about the $4.2 billion surplus forecast ty tne tisennower Aa- ministration for the next fiscal year. Thus far, two major actions taken would have the effect of eating away a substantial part of this surplus. Economy advocates, however, are reiving heavily on President Eisenhower's veto power to stop congressional spending programs which are unnecessary. They are confident that the public will support economy efforts as it did so powerfully during the 1959 session of Congress. Up to now, congressional action affecting government economy includes: There w-?- dJnU . against a wide variety of diseases. U. S. pharmaceutical firms not only spend millions in a continuous search for new discoveries, they also have accepted a obligation to help our medical schools train physicians and conduct research. In 1958 alone, the pharmaceutical industry allocated more than $20,500,000 in grants to medical schools throughout the nation. In addition, the Drug and Pharmaceutical Division since 1953 has contributed more than $1,250,000 in cash to the National Fund for Medical Education. Perhaps the most wonderful discovery of all a drug that can lick cancer may come out of a recently organized nationwide effort. Richly is general experienced in finding useful new, drugs amidst a multitude of compounds, the most important pharmaceutical firms are now playing a major role in the National Cancer Chemotherapy Screening Program. They are helping to sift through 40,000 chemicals a year in a magnificent joint endeavor to find new ways to attack cancer. CENTRAL COMMISSION xtt cTTTvrT xr Phone GR nf Helper 91, Enjoy Tho Great Bourbon subcom- mittee voted to exclude funds for teachers' salaries. This obviously was done in an effort to make the bill more palatable to opponents and thereby try to pick up support. For the same reason, the subcommittee vastly reduced the $1.8 billion program of federal aid for school construction and teachers' salaries approved by the Senate. The subcommittee action also called for a considerably lower amount than the $4.4 billion, four-yeprogram for school construction and teachers' salaries approved last year by the House iEducation Committee and since held up in the House Rules two-ye- ar " The S vivors.)

It is one of the "need" used in determining eligi bility under the new system. It veterans who have means sizable estates will not be eligible. (The estate of his wife and children will not be considered.) Those having quite a bit oi property will not be eligible until they have used up some of their estate for living expenses. Q. If a veteran owns a farm or an apartment house, will he have to sell his property before he can be eligible to receive a pension? icT:W - Not necessarily. It would depend upon the size and value of that property and many other factors. VA has made no attempt to provide an absolute yardstick for measuring the "corpus of an estate". Nor has VA set a money ceiling where the value of an estate will make a veteran ineligible, In each case, consideration must be given to the type of property, the age of the claimant, his life expectancy, his state of health, the number of persons dependent on him for support, and his income from other sources. A veteran's dwelling is excluded from consideration as part of his estate. Each case will be judged . individually on its own merit. I4fe CODE OF BEHAVIOR TOWARDS SEEING EYE DOGS By Friskics Research Kennels Watching seeing eye dogs guide their masters and mistresses safely and expertly on their daily rounds is an inspiring sight. While such dogs are highly trained for their work, they can... like humans... be distracted, and a distraction at a critical moment can be disastrous. It is therefore important for the public to observe a code of behavior towards any guide dogs they meet. Much as you love all dogs and much as you are tempted to pet the Seeing Eye fellow and let ar Committee. Members of the congressional economy bloc were encouraged by President Eisenhower's reaction to the Senate bill. At his news conference he was asked this question: (President, the Senators . "Mr. passed a $1.8 billion education bill, with teachers' salaries as well as buildings. Would you like to see the. House scale that down some?" Here is his reply: "Well, I'd go further than that. I say this: I do not believe the federal government ought to be in the business of paying a local official. If we're going into that, we'll have to find out every councilman and every teacher and every other person that's a public official of any kind, or public servant, and try to fi gure out what his right salary is. I can't Im"And I think agine anything worse for the federal government to be into." Opponents point out that aid for teachers' salaries is still very much in the congressional picture. Even if the subcommittee action is approved by the full committee and by the House, the e Conference Committee can still agree on the Senate version. As for the federal aid for sewage treatment works, it is generally expected that the legislation will produce the first presidential veto of this congressional Senate-Hous- the Old West NOTE: This is the third part of a series of questions and answers on the new pension law for veterans and their "sur(EDITOR'S The House Education See Us First! of fit QUESTIONS-ANSWER- HELPER session.

Never grasp the arm of, or shout directions, to a blind person working with a guide dog. This, too, serves to disrupt the proper relationship between master and dog and may be likened to putting one's hand over the eyes of a person driving a car.

Blind or helpless veterans that require the regular aid and attendance of another person re ceive $135.45 a month. Q. How much will a single veteran receive under the new law? A. The new system scales pay ments to the need of the pen sioner. Thus, a single veteran will get $85 a month if his an nual income is not over $600; or $70 a month if income Is from $600 to $1200; and $40 a month if income is from $1200 to $1800, He gets no pension if his income exceeds $1800.

With corporate issues bringing more than 5 per cent, the Treasury cannot sell long-terbonds limited to a per cent ceiling. The Treasury is forced to get its money by short-terissues, has to keep going to the market to raise cash, thus disrupting short-terborrowing for business and helping to drive up rates. m 10, BILL'S pnpenniPTinn I H h U U II I I iiwaa top-gra- m y PHARMACY jrnjnir iirf" Bill m m Fraser, Prop.
