HAND AND EYE
AID DIAGNOSIS
THE EYE and the hand are
unique in that no two other or
gans or structures of the body
can offer the observant physician
such a wealth of diagnostic in
formation, reports a University
of Michigan physician. Dr. Har
old F. Falls says an alert phy
sician can detect 80 diseases and
congenital disorders by noting
changes In the hands and eyes.
Among the signs a doctor may
look for in the hand of a patient
are skin and their pigmentation,
tremor, muscular atrophy, de
formities of the nails, joints
and fingertips and a wide variety
of growths, lesions and skin tex
ture symptoms.
WITHIN TEN YEARS scient
ists will learn how to make
enzymes in the laboratory, pre
dicts a University of Pittsburgh
researcher. Enzymes are cell
produced catalytic agents that in
stigate almost all the basic life
processes, from digestion thr
ough reproduction. The scient
ist says that once man is able
to make enzymes he may be
able to discover just how they
work.
MAN MAY BE more closely
related to apes that most people
think, says a University of Flo
rida psychologist. He reports
that research on the relation of
man to other mammals has shown
that man may not be as superior
as he believes. “There is a
larger difference than first thou
ght between mammals and other
vertebrates, but perhaps much
less difference between some of
the mammals and man,” he said.
He adds that it is very probable

change in the nervous systems
of some mammals to make a large
apparent change in their respon

STRINGS OF continuous wel
ded rail up to a quarter-mile
long are replacing 39-foot seg
ments of rail on some Eastern
railroads. The long rails re
duce maintenance costs and eli
minate damaging sway that may
result when cars pass over un
even rail joints. The long rails
are made by electrically heating
and squeezing together the ends
of two 39-foot-long rails in the
jaws of a National Cylinder Gas
rail welding unit. A final blow
of 50 tons forces Impurities and
excess metal from the joint.
Special rail cars carry the ex
tra-long rail to track-laying
sites.
ACUTE APPENDICITIS can be
a special threat to people over 60,
reports the American Medical
Association. An elderly per
son’s diseased appendix tends to
perforate easily, often leading
to serious complications from
infection. Death rates for el
derly people are much higher than
average for appendicitis. The
AMA says prompt exploratory
surgery is the best way to coun
teract this threat.
ANIMALS can adapt to envir
onments where fresh water is
not available. Whales have kid
neys that allow them to drink
and dispose of sea water. The
sea gull has a special apparatus
In its skull for distilling sea
water to obtain a supply of fresh
water.

Jll WASHINGTON _
THE RULES of the Senate
provide for extended debate in
order that matters of great na
tional importance can be given
careful consideration and close
and sometimes lengthy exami
nation.
This protection is embodied
in Rule 22 of the Senate. Over
the years, it
has proven to
be an effec
tive safeguard
against ram
ming through
legislation that
is contrary to
the best inter
es t s of the I
people of America.
Os course, there are members
of the Senate who denounce
Rule 22 and claim that it is
undemocratic and an obstruc
tion to the enactment of leg
islation. They usually get the
loudest and the most active
whenever they don’t get what
they want in the way of a bill
or resolution. They contend
that Rule 22 should be thrown
aside and that an unrestrained
majority should be able to run
over the opposition at will.
The fact is, Rule 22—which
requires a two-thirds vote to
shut off debate on an issue—
has served our nation well on
many occasions. Whenever the
Senate so desired, it has never
prevented legislative action. It
has proven its worth many
times, and it did so again re
cently on the so-called Civil
Rights Act of 1966.
* * ♦
EXTENDED DEBATE on this
bill provides an excellent ex
ample of thwarting legislation
I that was faultily drawn, to
tally unwarranted, and uncon
stitutional in many respects.
Moreover, the bill reeked of
political expediency.
However, in this instance,
Rule 22 worked to protect the
public interest against rash ac
tion. Certainly, it was not in
the public interest to destroy
. property rights as the so-called
I open housing section proposed
; to do. Nor was it in the public
interest to greatly expand the
police power of the federal gov
ernment and make the Attorney
| General a virtual czar over the
real and fancied civil rights of
। every citizen of America. Nor
I can it be said to be in the public
interest to create special Jaws
for special citizens at the ex
pense of the rights of every
one. And there was not a single
federal district judge in the
country who wanted to see our
■ jury system weakened the way
! this bill would have done.
In short, the bill was with
out merit. The people of the
country realized this as did
the Senate, and it was cast
aside
* * ♦
AS EXPECTED, great cries
went up against Rule 22, and
notice was served that the rule
will be attacked when the next
session of Congress convenes
in January.
As in the past, I will con
tinue to oppose any attempt to
weaken freedom of debate in
the Senate which, in the final
analysis, is a threat to our very
form of government.

Modern Retail Merchants
Promote Progress
Retail merchants are among
the greatest boosters of down
town modernization and beautif
ication. The successful mer
chants know that an attractive
downtown area is essential to
community growth and good bus
iness. They are working hard
at improving the physical en
vironment of core areas. Without
waiting for major urban renewal
projects accompanied by vast
public expenditures, they are,
through merchandising assoc
iations, going ahead with pro
jects to make Main Street more
attractive.
The theme of a recent meet
ing of the National Retail Mer
chants Association was “New
Look on Main Street.” The
meeting was devoted to pro
moting Ideas for improving cen
tral shopping areas. Case his
tories were presented describ
ing what had been done In a
number of communities. Top
ics discussed included the es
tablishment of malls, sidewalk
canopies, building moderniz
ation, historical preservation and
overall downtown beautification.
The modern retail merchant
Is among the most progressive
of citizens. The evolution of
the American mass-distribution
system Is eloquent proof of this.
It Is logical that retailers should
lead the way In self-help to beaut
ify communities. The programs

UNITY WITH LANDSCAPE
Unique architectural styling
with lumber can create striking
unity between house and land
scape along with pleasant out
door living.
For example, this suggestion
from the Southern Pine Associa
tion: — the yard is bordered by
a high louvered fence. Over
head—between fence and house
—extends a sweeping trellis of
rafters to filter sunlight. Ex
terior house walls are sur
faced with rough sawn lumber
in three - dimensional patterns
and finished to match the fencing
and trellis.
Pressure - treated lumber is
recommended for fencing and
open trellis since they are con
stantly and directly exposed to
weather. Exterior stain fln
ishes-combining pigment, water
repellents and preservatives—
have high retention value on rough
sawn Southern Pine sidiner.
