Rigid Control, Medical Aid, Curb Injuries from Athletics

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. ATHLETICS provide a medium Os healthy, wholesome entertainment for a great portion of our population, both players and spectators. But they also result to many injuries, particularly those sports which deal with bodily contact. ~ It is interesting to note that the majority of serious accidents Occur in the game of football. It has been shown that almost seventy per cent of the football Injuries occur to participants between the ages of sixteen and ■eventeen and most often to those with little experience in this ■port Boxing Injuries However, other sports, such as boxing, Can produce a large number of injuries for the number of persons participating, and probably the severity of damage is greater. ■ - Figures token of various injuries sustained by forty-six thousand athletes in certain states have shown that one out of every five persons in athletics will sustain some form of injury. The three major body regions most commonly injured in com-.. petiUve sports are the shoulder,

The campaign for funds should be successful if we all give our share during the annual drive. . o——o—— Business and civle leaders in —Van—Werl- a+e planning to petition for another county-wide election on building a new hospital in that city. The proposition was voted down last November, but the hospital trustees are not deferred in their desire to give Van Wert an adequate and mod* efn hospi.al and pljm to hold the election in the May primary. The Ohio law provides that 60 percent of the vote cast must favor the bond issue, if favorably action is to be taken on the hospital. Earl Shackley. formerly of this city, is chairman of the board of hospital trustees and is one of the leaders in the movement to give his adopted city a new institution to serve the people. o 0 ■ Indiana legislators have voted down Gov. Craig's proposal of holding a one-day session of the state legislative body for the .purpose of appropriating 15 million dollars for a new state office building. With government bureaus and offices growing yearly, there is little doubt that the state needs more office space. The state is paying approxiriiately $409,000 annually in office rentals now and this expenditure will grow with the years. However, the legislative , leaders evidently did not juaut; the .session limited to one-dhy and refused 1 td go along with the governor’s building Idea. ‘One of the leaders slat- . ed that plans for the office building were not far enough advanced to determine if 15 million would cover construction costs.

) J — o Modern Etiquette j BY ROBERTA LEE I 1 o_ ; o Q. 1 am working and earning a nice salary while the l*>y with whom I. am going is still in college and doesn’t have much money to spend. Is it all right for me occasionally to pay for an evening’s entetaininent? A. This is quite all right. Occasionally you may .say you have tickets for this or that affair: Don’t embarrass him. however, by paying for the tickets while he is present. Q. When a husband and wife hate a single male guest at dinner, should he be served first, or should the hostess? A. The hostess, as the only woman present, should be served first If there were another woman present. she would, of course, be served first. ;

the knee and the ankle. Z Slight Nature This does not mean that football and competitive sports should be abolished because most of these injuries are of only a slight nature and are not the kind that cause fatalities. Most are either sprains or broken bones and these can be easily corrected by a physician. ’ ' * *' In certain states, there have been no fatalities for many years in amateur competitive sports. It is believed that rigid control of sports, and adequate -medical supervision by doctors in these states, deserve the credit for preventing fatalities. It is important that any youngster who engages in athletic activities should have adequate supervision along with substantial equipment. It is equally important that medical supervision be present so that only those physically able participate. It is unhealthy and unsporting for an athlete with severe injury to continue in an athletic contest. QUESTION AND ANSWER — A. W. R.: I am pregnant and am taking Iron pills beoause lam anemic. Is it true that .they can cause me to have a ffdscarriage? Answer: 'No. Tfims not trM

Asks Congress Move Date For Tax Payments Asks Traditional March 15 Date Be Changed To April WASHINGTON UP -?■ Goodbye March 15: President {Eisenhower asked congress today to change the traditional date for filing personal income tax returns to April 15. The change would be effective next year. ,- He said in his budget message that taxpayers should be given the extra month "to reduce the burdens of preparing and filing returfis.'"' "7 This was pne of 25 tax law changes Mi*. Eisenhower recommended in a y1,200,000JW8 tax belief program. -Certain groups of individual InrHnas taxpayers would get relief amounting to $585,000,000. ■; The remainder would go to business as an incentive to plant expansion and general economic growth. The President stood firm against any further general cuts in individual or corporation income tax rates this year. But he said his long-range p|an calls for new cuts. ‘T,t is the determined purpose of this administration to make further reductions in taxes as,rapidly as justified by prospective revenues and' reduction in expenditures," he said. Although none of the President’s Current tax proposals would affect the rates of individuals generally, many would reduce the taxes of certain groups. . Fpr example, he proposed that farmers be allowed to deduct up to 25 per cent of their gross income for soil conservation expenses. At present the law allows ■ ‘‘only limited and uncertain tax deductions” for this purpose, he said. The President gave his blessing to many other relief provisions for both individuals and corporations. Most- of them nre contained in a bill already before the taxframing house ways and means "committee. Among those already under consideration are proposals to allow special expense " deductions for working widows and widowers who have to hire a nurse or baby sitter tb. take care of 6mp.1l children; . more liberal .medical expense< deductions for, individuals, and more liberal depreciation deductions for business firms. The President renewed ®a previous recommendation that Congress continue corporation income and federal excise taxes at about their present rates for at least another year. Mr. Eisenhower said the M per cent cut in personal income taxes and termination of the excess profits tax Jan. 1, plus the proposed tax relief program, would mean a loss of some five billion dollars In revenue in the-, next year. He said these reductions have been and will be possible only because" of the reduced spending progfhm of his administration. Air. Eisenhower said treasury experts are studying “the special problems of the oil and mining industries,” presumably to determine whether any changes should J’e recommended in present depletion allowances. ”
