(Quackery)
HEALTH AND SAFETY TIPS
FROM
THE AMERICAN
MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
The health quack and the1 food
fad quack have been around since
the beginning of time, and they’ll
probably be with us for a long
time yet. They’ll be here as long
as quackery is profitable. And
quackery will be profitable as long
as we continue to fall for it.
Some experts have estimated
that Americans spend a billion dol-
lars a year on useless cures, me-
chanical gadgets, food fads and
other quack gimmicks. For In-
stance, there is no sum cure for
arthritis, and yet we spend a
quarter of a million dollars a year
on “cures.” Some cancers can be
cured by medical experts, but
many cannot. But we spend $50
million a year on useless cancer
“cures” Doctors will tell you
that most of the $150 million a
year spent on self - prescribed
laxatives is either Wasted or ac-
tually harmful.
At best the quacks waste our
money. And sometimes they can
cause us to delay seeking proper
treatment for a serious condition
that gets worse as time goes by.
Some of the quack gadgets and
medicines are downright danger-
ous.
Your doctor, Doth individually
and through his professional or-
ganizations such as the American
Medical Association, Wages con-
stant war on quacks. So do sev-
eral government agencies at a na-
tional level and many state and
local government bodies.
A part of this war will be the
Second National Congress on Mie-
dical Quackery October 25-26 in
Washington, D.C., in which the
AMA and the federal Food and
Drug Administration will work to-
gether to focus attention once
again on the problem. i
How can we as individuals avoid
being taken in by a quack? The,
modem day medicine man is a j
slick operator, but there are a few,
guidelines that will at least cause
us to take a second look at his
proposition. Through long years
of experience, the AIMjA’s Depart-
ment of Investigation offers six
wlays to spot a quack—
*If he uses a special or “sec-
ret” machine or formula he claims
can cure disease.
*If he guarantees a quick cure.
*If he advertises or uses case
histories and testimonials to pro-
mote his cure.
*If he clamors constantly for
medical investigation and recog-
nition.
*If he claims medical men are
persecuting him or are afraid of
his competition.
*If he tells you that surgery or
x-ray or drugs will cause mjore
harm than good.

A BISHOP LOOKS AT LIFE
BY THE RT. REV. EVERETT H. JONES, DS>.
The Episcopal Church, Diocese of West Texas
THE VALUE OF MARGINS
One of the things a child learns
early at school is to leave a mar-
gin on either side of a page where
he is writing. Wie are offended by
a printed page unless it has good
margins. We know how important
a margin is in framing a paint-
ing. An attractive home or im-
pressive public building needs a
proper margin around it to be ap-
preciated fully.
It is equally important to have
margins in our daily lives. When
we rush m,adly from| one activity
to another, when wp have scarce-
ly caught our breath fromi one un-
dertaking before we plunge into
another, We are violating one of
life’s basic rules. We are not al-
lowing the margin of time which
enables us to do our best work and
to make our best contribution.
Somie years ago a wise book
was written by Karin Roon under
the title, “The New Why To Re-
lax.” She had much to say about
the need for margins in one’s daily
schedule. She pointed out that
most of our exhaustion an,d confus-
ion come fromi trying to do too
much in too little tim;e. She added
these valuable bits of advice: “The
art of living consists not in stuff-
ing the day as full as possible, but
in getting through the day with a
sense of achievement, of enjoy-
ment, and Without excessive fati-
gue . . . Being rushed is not a
virtue . . . Don’t let the details of
living swamp life itself.”
One other wise counsel this au-
thor gave Was to plan the day so
that one’s best hours would be de-
voted to one’s most important and
creative Work, and to keep a list
of things to be done, trying to get
the unpleasant things out of the
way first.
I like to think that God added a
margin to His work of creation
when He set aside the seventh day
for worship and rest. “And on the
seventh day God ended His work
which He had made; and He rest-
ed on the seventh day from, all
His work which He had made.
And God blessed the seventh day
and sanctified it.” (Genesis 2:2-3)
One way to test the quality of
your life is to measure the mar-
gins you are keeping in all that
you do.

Opinions
A man can’t live a full and sat-

accept the unexpected as an op-
portunity instead of a possible
source of trouble.

that prohibits the use of parking
meters. There are mjore than two
million meters in use in 4,000

THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION
The Driver's
Seat
Hunters would tell more of the
truth sometimes if they’d report
in like this when they get home
after a day afield:
“Boy, did I have a day. Two
rabbits, three squirrels, nine curve
signs, two stop signs an,d 15 glass
reflectors.”
Fall’s hunting season brings on
an annual peak in sign vandalism'
in practically every state and
county. It’s a senseless business,
an expensive one and a deadly
affair at times.
It hardly seems necessary to
point out that traffic sign and
signals are the only warning of
danger for the motorist and, if
these signs are damaged or des-
troyed, there’s no Warning. This is
even more true When night driv-
ing is involved; a reflective sign
is the only night - time warning
that’s available to the driver. If
a reflective sign is destroyed, the
driver has no warning at all.
The public shouldn’t complain
mluch about the costs of new signs
being put up in a state, because
hunters — and others who make
up the public cause a huge
chunk of sign costs through van-
dalism. An Iowa highway en-
gineer, for example, has found
that 75 per cent of the new signs
in his area are erected to replace
destroyed and vandalized signs —
only 25 per cent goes to replace
worn-out signs.
The Oklahoma department of
highways estimates that sign
wrecking requires the replacement
of as much as 80 per cent of the
markers in certain areas of that
state. Oklahoma spends almost a
quarter of a million dollars
annually to replace signs damag-
ed by vandalism. When littering is
added to this cost, the state’s to-
tal approaches half a million an-
nually.
Hunters don’t account for all of
the damage hut bullet - riddled
signs are a common sight in all
states, and the rate increases
greatly during the fall and winter
hunting seasons. One 80 cent box
of .22 caliber bullets is all that’s
needed to destroy some $60 worth
of signs.
Maybe we’ll have to start send-
ing out highway department game
wardens with the usual gamje
wardens.
