Decatur’s three drug stores have joined 120,000 pharmacies across the country, together with other medical, safety, and public health people, in the second annual observance of National Poison Prevention Week, recently proclaimed by President Kennedy. Each year approximately 500 children under five years of age die as a result of accidental poisoning. Another half-million children swallow poisons. If you have ever gone through the agony of knowing that your small child has swallowed a possibly poisonous substance, you know the importance of keeping all poisons out of the hands of youngsters. If not, you can imagine the fear a mother must have, as she rushes her child to the hospital, and watches the poor infant go through the painful, bothersome process of having its stomach pumped. Two-thirds of the cases of poisoning each year are due to negligent storage of internal medicines. That means that you and I are at fault We don’t put way the aspirin bottle, the medicine bottle, etc., after use. We’ve foolishly told the children that “medicine is candy,” and then, of course, reap the whirlwind we have sown when they get out the bottle of “candy” and down the contents. Your local druggist, who is your friend and helpful advisor concerning the contents of medicines, and the proper way to store them, suggests that you keep all household products and medicines out of the reach and sight of children, in their proper container, and properly labeled. Refer to medicine by their proper names — never as “candy.” About 90% of the poison cases involve children under five. About 25% of these are years, 72% between 1-3 years, for internal medicine swallowing. External medicines and pesticides were highest with children under one year of age, and decreased with age. These are products often set on the floor or in low cabinets. * If you have any question about storing substances, and whether they are poisonous or not, we suggest that you contact a pharmacist at any of Decatur’s three fine drug stores — Kohne’s Smith’s, or Holthouse’s. They can give you the answer. Never store household products or medicine in cups or bottles — children often drink out of these.

Flood Threats Posed Anew In Eastern Area By United Press International Winter practiced its swan song today, drenching the Midwest and Ohio Valley with rain, posing new flood threats in the waterlogged East and dumping snow across the northern plains. The weather bureau said today’s heavy rains in the Ohio Valley will “cause serious trouble.” French Creek, a tributary of the upper Allegheny River, surged a half foot above flood level during the night. A civil defense spokesman said 30 persons fled their homes at Meadville, Pa., and if French Creek gets two feet higher about 440 additional persons would be removed from their homes. The Federal-State Flood Forecasting Service said that although the Allegheny started receding when ice gorges broke up Monday, the new rain and melting snow posed new flood dangers. Sen. John Sherman Cooper, RKy., said today he would press for a S2O million addition to President Kennedy’s budget to provide long-range protection to floodravaged Kentucky. Rain drenched most of the Midwest, with thunderstorms and downpours occurring in eastern lowa and northern Illinois. Cedar Rapids, lowa, reported nearly % inch of rain in six hours during the night.

town, S.D., had 3 inches. The Great Lakes shipping season will be delayed by the area’s worst ice cover of the century, the Lake Carriers Association said Monday. Iron ore ships will not be able to work Lake Superior until nearly May 1, the organization predicted. At White Fish Bay, a Lake Superior shipping port, a three-foot layer of ice covered by four inches of stow is locking ships out. Generally fair weather covered the rest of the nation except for the Pacific Northwest, where rain fell. The southland basked in summery temperatures, with Laredo, Tex., recording 80 degrees during the night. The weather bureau said the Ohio Valley will receive up to 3 inches of rain as the new storm moves eastward. As much as 4 inches of fresh snow was expected to blanket northern Wisconsin and Michigan. Anli-Casf ro Raiders Make Twin Attacks MIAMI (UPD—Anti-Castro raiders Monday shot up a Russian freighter in a north Cuban port and a nearby Soviet army camp in twin sea attacks, an exile spokesman reported Monday night. Reliable informants here and exiles in New York said the attacks at the port of Sagua la Grande caused “considerable damage” and left a number of Russians dead and wounded. A garbled radio broadcast from Havana, apparently referring to the raid, said “severeal wounded men were taken to Havana.” The twin attacks were carried out by an organization known as the “Second Escambray FrontAlpha 66.” A spokesman for the group here confirmed the attacks but added, “We cannot give you any details now.” (In New York, two Cubans who identified ’themselves as national leaders of the underground group, reported the raiders attacked in two fast motor launches mountin® machine guns and 20 mm antiaircraft guns). in Washington, the State Department had no immediate comment on the raids. Exile informants here said the raids caused “considerable damage’’ and left unspecified numbers of “dead and wounded” in the army camp.

Pressure Put On Union In Paper Strike By United Press International It was squarely up to the printers today to make the move that would bring the 102-day New York newspaper strike a step closer to settlement. Pressure came from the Printers’ International officers to reconsider the Sunday rejection of a compromise settlement as another union—the photoengravers—called a strike. There was little heartening news elsewhere on the nation’s troubled labor scene. A strike notice was served on the ChevroletGray Iron foundry in Saginaw, Mich., and Cleveland Mayor Ralph Locher called together the publishers and representatives of 11 unions to review the 110-day strike against the Press and Plain Dealer newspapers. Publishers and New York Mayor Robert F. Wagner left it to International Typographers Union President Elmer Brown to get Local 6 to reverse its rejection of a proposed contract. Brown said he considered justified the criticism building up throughout the nation among printers who are being assessed to pay for the 101-day New York strike. He said the international union might take action for ending the dispute if the local does not find the key within “g couple of days.” The 320 - man Photoengravers Union went on strike in demands for a reduction in hours from 36’4 to 35 per week and fourth week of vacation. A source said the publishers and striking mailers were close to agreement on a new contract. In Cleveland, in addition to Locher’s meeting, negotiations were scheduled with the striking mailers. A 14-hour meeting between the publishers and the striking printers, considered the key union, produced progress Monday. Hie printers, mailers and machinists are on strike and a total of five unions remain without contracts. Six others have come to terms. _ A three-man arbitration panel meets in San Francisco this week .to settle the five remaining issues in the five-year automation dispute between Southern Pacific Railway and the railway clerks. The issues include job retraining, a formula by which the company can reduce the work force in time of economic distress, and the rehabilitation of workers who fail their job retraining. Members of United Auto Workers Local 668 voted to walk out against the Saginaw, Mich., firm in a dispute over a work-speedup. More than 4,000 workers are employed at the foundry. The strike is scheduled for five days after UAW headquarters acts on the vote today. A three-man mediation panel scheduled a session for Wednesday in the National Tool Co., Cleveland, Ohio, strike. Two hundred steel workers have been out sinee March 1 in demands for an increase of five cents per hour in wages and pension contributions. A show cause hearing will be held Thursday before Federal Judge Frank Wilson on charges by east Tennessee coal field operators against the United Mine Workers, who have been out of the pits since Dec. 26.

If a widow is being married for the second time, would it be proper for her married daughter to announce the marriage? A. No. The marriage should be announced in the name of the woman and her husband. Q. Just what should I do after I have completed the introduction of two other persons? I’m always at a loss in these circumstances. A. Try to act as a “moderator” for any ensuing conservation. It’s nice to bring up some subject you happen to know of mutual interest to these two persons, and this usually stimulates the conversation. Q. Sometimes I see people at the dinner table helping themselves to a slice of bread with their forks. Is this proper? A. Definitely notl Help yourself to the bread with your fingers. Never, use your own fork or any other of your individual pieces of silver to help yourself from any common serving dish. Q. After an evening of bridge, and the hostess is setting the table for salad and dessert requiring only a fork and spoon, where should she place these pieces? A. The fork on the left, the spoon on the right, as always. Q. Recently while attending a lecture in which we were both very much interested, my husband and I were annoyed by the presistent whispering of two wo men seated behind us. Would it have been proper for us to ask these woman to stop their chatter? A. Your husband would have been well within his right to speak to the women. Q. If it so happens that a brideelect has already had an opportunity to thank a donor verbally

SPECIAL WASHINGTON MPOOT ’ Federal Tax Cuts Needed Te Stimulate The Eeonemy By U.S. Sen. Fowl Douglas (D-lll.)
Praident Kennedy's ptopowb for tax cuts and tax revisions deserve the support of the American people because they would stimulate the economy and make our tax system more equitable.
For the past five years an average of almost six per cent of our labor force has been fully unemployed. Many others an working only part-time. Our idle industrial resources amount to about 17 per cent of capacity. Our economic growth rate is sluggish. It falls well behind our potential and the growth ratea of most countries of Western Europe. The victims of this economic sluggishness are the poor, the weak, the Negro, the younger worker, the unskilled, and the older worker, to
name a few. Furthermore, our present tax system discourages economic vitality and prevents us from attaining full use of our human and productive resources. This, then, adds up to an intolerable situation. It is high time for positive action to stimulate the economy. To put the problem in economic terms, there is not enough purchasing power in the economy so buy the goods and services which our labor force and industry can produce at the prices charged. One way to attack this problem is to bring prices down to the level of our purchasing power. This could be done by an all-out attack on monopoly, administered prices, and other devices which prevent competition. While this policy certainly should be pursued, it would take too long for it to solve rise present urgent problem. The other way to attack it it to increase die purchasing power in the economy to the level of the prices which are charged. This is what a tax cut would do. Tax cuts would increase monetary pttrcnastft£ power which m turn would put idle men to work on idle machines producing goods which would otherwise not be produced.

A most important point is ’ that the amount of purchasing power released would be much i larger than the amount of the tax cut —-three or four times larger, in fact. Economists call ( tins the "multiplier effect." , It is estimated, for instance, that an $• billion personal tax , cut would increase the Gross , National Product by from $24 , to $52 biffion more than it would . otherwise be. These additional | funds generated in the economy . would io turn be taxed and wL tunately about one-fifth of the . total increase in the GNP would , be returned to ths Treasury, , bringing in added revenues of r from s4.s to $6.4 billion. The net cost of an $$ billion cut r then would be only from $1.6 , to $1.2 billion. Such an increase in the GNP t would produce about two mil- > lion new jobs. A tax cut with . a net cost of $1.6 to $3.2 billion would bo an extremely s small price to pey for so many r new jobs. If we don't make f this investment in our economy, . are probably will pay muds . more in bods governmental s and private losses in our society, r Equally as important as the t tax cuts in the President's proi gram are the tax reforms, both I to stimulate rise econosny and for equity reasons.
