It may be my imagination,
but 1 found they seemed to
help calm my nerves some.
As I do not want to even
take a mild tranquilizer, I
was wondering whether B
vitamins really do any good
or harm if taken for a long
period of time. How about
the one-a-day supplemen
tary vitamins that contain
all vitamins and minerals
and also include the B com
plex? Would it be harmful
taking the B complex vita
min I already have plus the
one-a-day? I would like some
information on this before I
decide to continue to take
any kind of vitamin.
Dear Reader—ls a person
is eating a balanced diet with
all the essential food com
ponents, he is not likely to
need supplemental vitamins.
With so many refined foods,
such as sugar, that contain
no appreciable amounts of
vitamins or minerals, and
the need many people have
to diet, especially if they are
not active physically, it is
easy to have a deficient diet.
Older people, who live alone,
are prone to eat an inade
quate diet. Under these cir
cumstances, added vitamins
are helpful.
Unless taken in really
huge doses, there is no evi
dence that taking vitamins,
even if you don’t need them,
will cause any harm —except
vitamins A and D. All other
vitamins you take in usual
excess amounts are simply
eliminated by the body.
Thus, taking the B complex
vitamins you already have
plus a one-a-day brand won’t
hurt you but it won’t help
you either.
In plain language, take one
or the other or you will just
be throwing your money
away.
Now you say you feel bet
ter after taking vitamins.
That is fine, but don’t be so
sure it is the vitamins. Doc
tors have known for cen
turies that giving a patient
any medicine, even pink wa
ter, often makes a patient
feel better. This is especial
ly true if the patient has
nervous symptoms. The con
fidence the patient has in
the pink water and the doc
tor lifts his spirits out of the
doldrums, he regains his
energies and feels better. A
lot of feeling bad is related
to one’s emotional outlook,
k A person can truly be ‘“wor
t ried sick.”
’ You might be shocked that
a doctor would give his pa-
■ tient pink water. Fifty years
ago, without antibiotics, and
> many of the medicines we
have today, the doctor had
• little else to give some of
t his patients except hope, and
hope came in a little bottle
t full of pink water. Phen
obarb was the only tran-

LITTER GULPER demonstrates clean-up power on the
Capitol lawn in Washington. Looking a little like a
crane which met with an accident, the droopy alumi
num boom mounted on a conventional truck scoops up
debris and feeds it into bags. Designed to handle bot
tles, cans, cigarette packages and the other small
items which loom large in the total litter picture, the
unit is said to be capable of reducing pickup costs for
maintenance departments by 40 per cent.
U.N. budget hinges
on Peking policy
By JAMES CARY
Copley News Service
WASHINGTON - Like
Topsy, the United Nations just
grew and grew.
From the relatively modest
organization founded on Oct.
24. 1945, by 51 nations, it has
become a 131-member, globe
girdling giant employing more
than 42,000 persons and han
dling budgetary outlays in ex
cess of $1 billion.
Its activities range from ef
forts to maintain world peace
to upgrading of health, sanita
tion and nutrition in the most
poverty-ridden areas of the
world.
How it finances these opera
tions has long been a mystery
to the man in the street.
How to continue financing
them — even on a reduced
scale—is a growing concern of
U.N. supporters and leaders
from Secretary-General U
Thant on down.
Already in arrears, the
United Nations is entering a
new money crisis, in the angry
wake of its Oct. 25 ouster of Na
tionalist China and admission
of Communist China. Demands
for greater economy, efficiency
and budgetary discipline are
coming from the U.S. State De
partment and Congress. The
crisis could deepen after Com
munist China’s delegates are
seated. No one knows what
tactics they will pursue.
If they should insist, for ex
ample, that Chinese be made
not only one of the official U.N.
languages, which it is, but also
one of the working languages,
this could entail an outlay of
several million dollars.
Personnel capable of trans
lating from Russian, French
and English into Chinese and
vice versa would have to be
hired.
All official U.N. documents
would also have to be repro
duced in Chinese.
Further complicating the
United Nations’ financial prob
lems is the inability to deter
mine at this time how much Pe
king will pay toward defraying
U.N. expenses.
Likewise it is not known what
will become of the sl2 million in
U.N. debts left behind by Na
tionalist China, or what will
happen to the 51 Nationalist
Chinese employes of the United
Nations.
Any understanding of the
United Nations’ money prob
lems begins with an under
standing of how it finances its
many types of activities and
how it is organized financially.
This breaks into three parts:
The regular U.N. budget, fi
nanced through assessments
against member nations; nine
separate budgets for U.N. spe
cialized agencies, also financed
through assessments, and 14
other U.N. organizations and
programs financed through
voluntary contributions.
If that sounds complex just
wait.
The regular U.N. budget
totals $192,149,300 for calendar
year 1971. The largest portion
of it — $106,501,300 — pays for
staff costs and related ex
penses, $86.1 million of it alone
quilizer he had and when
pink water worked, it was
wonderful. Moreover, it
didn’t cause any complica
tions, like dependence upon
drugs. Pink water, spiritual
music, health spas, copper
bracelets and other devices
have brought relief to mil
lions. The human mind is a
strange and wonderful
mechanism.
(NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.)
for salaries.
Equipment, supplies, serv- *
ices and keeping up the U.N.
building in New York take up
another $24.7 million. Techni- #
cal programs in economic and
industrial development require
$6.9 million and $lO million will
be spent on the U.N. confer- ,
ence on trade and develop
ment.
Other itemized costs include
travel and U.N. representative 0
expenses — $1,387,100; special
meetings — $3,317,800; staff
travel — $2,598,300; the United
Nations Industrial Develop- #
ment Organization — $12.2 mil
lion; International Court of
Justice — $1.4 million, and of
fice of the U.N. high commis- ,
sioner for refugees — $4.7 mil
lion.
"Die regular budget funds are
used to finance the six principal a
U.N. organs: the Security*
Council, General Assembly,
Economic and Social Council,
the Trusteeship Council, the In- ,
ternational Court of Justice and
the Secretariat.
The percentage share of each
member nation to cover •
operating expenses of the six is
computed every three years by
a committee of experts in the
General Assembly. ,
Composed of persons knowl
edgeable in the preparation
and derivation of national in
come statistics, the experts »
first attempt to determine the
net national product (NNP) of
each member.
NNP is usually about 10 per ,
cent less than the gross na
tional product (GNP)
measurement used in the
United States to reflect a na- «
tion’s total output of goods and
services. But Communist coun
tries object to GNP because it
includes a calculation involving •
consumption of capital, a term
that ruffles their ideological
fur.
Next the committee com- *
putes each nation’s per capita
NNP. If this is below SI,OOO, a
graduated downward adjust
ment in the percentage assess- «
ment of that nation is made.
The next stage is for the com
mittee to apply established as
sessment ceilings and floors. «
They are 30 per cent and .04 per
cent respectively. The United
States actually is assessed 31.52
per cent this year, but its share *
has been moving down each
year toward the 30 per cent
goal. At one time the U.S. as
sessment was a record hieh of «
39.89 per cent — in 1946 and
1948.
The .04 per cent floor comes
to a minimum assessment of ,
$71,488 in the current budget.
Sixty-three of the United Na
tions’ members are at this
level.
Some other percentages in- ’
elude: Soviet Union — 16.55;
France — 6.0; United Kingdom
— 5.9; Japan — 5.4; Italy — ,
3.54, and Canada — 3.08.
The Nationalist Chinese per
centage in the past has been 4
per cent, or $7,148,752 this year. ,
Since the Nationalists claimed
to represent all the people and
NNP of China, both on the
mainland and Taiwan, it can be ,
argued that Communist
China’s assessment will be
exactly the same.
