lie, but one that might be extremely important in time of an emergency. They are members of the Putnam county U.S.DA. Defense Board, according to Mrs. Ruth Wright, county office manager of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, who also serves as chairman of the Defense Board. Other members of this board include Paul Jackson of the Indiana Cooperative Extension Service: Bill Spence of the Farmer’s Home Administration and George Murphy of the Soil Conservation Service. Representatives of the Forest Service, Agricultural Research Service and the Consumer and Marketing Service are also members of the board when they are located in a country. Mrs. Wright explains that the primary purpose of the Putnam County U.S.DA. Defense Board is to prepare for a situation “that we hope will never occur—a nuclear disaster. However, if such an emergency did occur, the need for such a board would be great. By prior planning, much can be gained." Serving as a part of the totaldefense effort, the agricultural

and other persons in rural areas concerning personal protection as well as the care and management of crops, livestock, and other agricultural resources. In addition to working as a unit, County U.SJD. '.. Defense Board members each have special responsibilities. Assignments generally follow the normal duties of these agricultural leaders. In addition to being chairman of the board, the ASCS representative has important responsibility in food supply management except in those metropolitan areas where a representative of the Consumer and Marketing Service is available. The ASCS representative also has assignments concerning agricultural production problems in times of emergency. The Cooperative Extension Service representative is primarily responsible for information and education programs concerning emergency situations; the Farmer’s Home Administration representatives has the responsibility for emergency credit to farmers and food processors; the Soil Conservation Service representative is responsible for supporting the food production effort and

weapons) as it pertains to farm produce and faim production. Each state has a U.S.D.A. Defense Board organized along similar lines to that of the county board. The state board has the responsibility of coordinating all UB.DA. programs at the state level during times of an emergency, and is expected to provide leadership to the various county boards. However in case communication connections are not available, county boards must operate indepen-

dently.

County board members will be willing to explain their assignment in more detail. Why not invite one of them to discuss this subject at a meeting in your community?

Teamsters Strike Almost Certain WASHINGTON UFI—A nationwide Teamsters strike was imminent today though negotiators worked to break the deadlock between the powerful union and major U. S. truckers. The Teamsters leadership was apparently ready to call members off their jobs sometime today barring an unforeseen break in the contract dispute. The government made it clear it would move immediately to halt any strike under the TaftHartley Act Negotiations broke up late Wednesday night after an apparently fruitless session. William E. Simkin, director of the Federal Mediation Service, asked both sides to return to the bargaining table today.

Errors Cause Delay In Tax Refunds

INDIANAPOLIS — Mistakes in arithmetic are showing up more frequently than any other type of taxpayer error on 1966 federal income tax returns. James E. Daly, District Director for Indiana, says that of the 4,108,595 returns filed so far this year by Indiana taxpayers and those in the four other states in the IRS Central Re-

gion, a total of 122,331 contained errors in addition or subtraction. Mr. Daly said these errors can delay the issuing of refunds when tax returns are checked for mathematical accuracy by computers at the IRS Service Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. When an error is discovered in arithmetic that

changes the tax liability, the correction is made and a notice explaining the change is sent to the taxpayer. Indiana taxpayers should double check their arithmetic before sending in their tax returns, Mr. Daly said. “Errors are expensive to process and cause delay and inconvenience for taxpayers,” he added. As of last week, Mr. Daly reported, 3,529 refunds had been delayed in Indiana and the other four states of the Central Region, because of incorrect or missing Social Security numbers. Other refunds are being held up because of a variety of other errors or failures to comply with instructions mailed to each tEixpayer with his tax forms. Tax returns filed up to last week included 20,630 without the signatures of husband or wife or both. These will have to be sent back to the taxpayers before refunds can be pro-

cessed.

Doctor, Fd Like To Know—

DO YOU recommend a sunlamp and is it of any value to health? Does it dry the skin as

much as sunlight?

Mrs. L.E.J., W. Virginia Dear Mrs. J.: A sunlamp gives out ultraviolet rays which have the sun-bum ing effect of midsummer sunlight. These rays

can produce redness, burning and pigmentation of the skin |§ if they are used ~ without modera-

Wife Divorces Kin Of Queen LONDON UPI —The Earl of Harewood, first cousin of Queen Elizabeth n, was divorced today on grounds of adultery. He did not contest the action which stemmed from Britain’s biggest royal scandal since King Edward VIII abdicated in 1936. Harewood, 44, has said he wants to wed the “other woman,” Mrs. Patricia Bambi Tuckwell, a divorced Australian ex-model who bore him a son, now two years old. Harewood’s marriage to raven-haired former concert pianist Marion Stein in 1949 was hailed as a Cinderella story. Queen Elizabeth, then a princess, attended the wedding. The divorce was a royal embarrassment because the queen is titular head of the Anglican Church, opposed to divorce in! principle. Lady Harewood, 39, won the divorce decree at a brief hearing before the president of the London divorce courts. Sir Jocelyn Simon. She gained custody of their three sons by mutual consent The boys are aged 16, 13 and 11 and rank 19th through 21st in line to the throne. Their father is 18th in the line of succession.

Wall Street Chatter NEW YORK UPI — The Alexander Hamilton Institute says “the ratio of high-grade bond yields to blue-chip industrial stock yields-a key indicator that has signed trouble in the past-is approaching the danger zone.” The company feels that if this trend continues, switching to bonds from common stocks can be expected and would have a powerful restraining influence on the market.

Colby & Co. says current price action suggests some consolidation before a move can be made toward the 910 level of the Dow Jones industrial average. The company says there is no indication that the expected price irregularity will be too extensive but advises investors to use a high degree of selectivity in purchasing stocks.

gj tion.

si Thera are many medical reasons for ex-

Dr. Colemaa posing the skin

to the ultravio-

let rays of sunlamps. Acne of the face is benefited when the lamp Is used in addition to all ♦he other known ways of treatAg this skin disorder. It is even said that these rays can keep certain bacteria in check. Some people react poorly to direct sunlight and find that their skin becomes dry, cracked or peeled. The'se same people would probably have the identi cal effect from a sunlamp. There seems to be important psychological value to a sunlamp. The tanning effect gives many people a bouncy feeling of well-being. Many enjoy the midwinter tan when the indoor sallowness is covered. An important note of warning must be made to everyone who buys a sunlamp. Begin exposure to ultraviolet rays very slowly and build up the time by adding 15 seconds to each daily dose. Be sure to cover the eyes with protective coverings or cotton to prevent burns of the conjunctiva or lining of the eyes. Many good sunlamps are equipped with an automatic safety device which rings a bell after a set time and may even shut off the lamp. This Is most important because many people, wanned by the lamp, fall asleep under it and can be severely

burned.

A gas which comes out of the

quartz sunlamp has a tendency to cause drowsiness. If a safety device is not on the lamp ba sure and have somebody watch you to be certain that you ara not overexposed or painfully burned. • • • Is it true that a surgeon can do something to a person’s brain to relieve him of Parkinson’s disease? Does it cure the dis-

ease?

W. J.D., Massachusetts Dear Mr. D.: For the rest of my readers, first let me tell them that Parkinson’s disease is a condition that shows itself with & hand tremor, weakness and difficulty of making ordinary movements. There are % number of different kinds of this disorder of the nervous system. It may be the result of an infection of the brain, injury and exposure to carbon monoxide or heavy metal poisoning. This complicated disease sometimes occurs , in the elderly without any known reason. In the past ten years a remarkable operation has been performed to reduce the tremor and the rigidity of the muscles that interfere with normal function. A thin probe which is frozen to hundreds of degrees below zero is aimed at a tiny spot in the brain and painlessly destroys the area responsible for the distressing symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Not all cases can benefit from trfts technique. They are chosen very carefully even though the operation is not a dangerous one. « • • SPEAKING OF YOUR HEALTH—If a foreign body lands in the eye do not rub It. It may become imbedded and difficult to extract; Dr. Coleman welcomes letter* from readers, and, while he can* not undertake to answer each one, he will use questions in his column whenever possible and when they are of general in* terest. Address your letters 19 Dr. Coleman in care of tW* newspaper.
