Portuguese Policy There is no blinking the '^ct 'that while this Portuguese government has taken steps toward loosening the hard military rule imposed in 1928, it is still a dictatorship. That American democracy now makes common cause with it on the ground of mutual defense shows how far both countries have been pushed by world event? since 1941, when Portugal stayed neutral while the Nazi-Fascist Axis declared1 war against the United states.

Boocb A small tribe of Indians who during the gold rush days brewed a potent whisky from molasses was responsible for the American expression, "hcoch." The Indians lived on t^e Admirality Islands neat Alaska and were named Hutsnuwu, a word*the whites had difficulty pronouncing. The Indians learned from the white men the trick of making an especially potent drink, and the whites, never at loss for an abbreviation, called the liqubr "hooch.'4 Lutherans Thirty-one per cent of the student* at the University of Minnesota (Minneapolis) are Lutherans. Your Hearing Many people have trouble with their ears and hearing, but for some reason or other do nothing about it. Since hearing loss usually develops very gradually without pain, with no running of the ears in most instances, a person finds it hard to believe that his ears are going bad and is inclined to blame the change in hearing on something or someone else, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society observes in a HEALTH TALK. Actually the ear is made up of three parts--first the external ear, called the auricle and external auditory canal that leads from the auricle into the skull and at the end of which is the drum membrane known as the t tympanic membrane. j Behind the tympanic membrane ! is the second part of the ear, cal- I led the middle ear or tympanic1 cavity, which is air-containing,! enabling the ear drum to move, b a c k a n d f o r t h w i t h v i b r a t i o n s o f ! sounds. This part is connected to 'j the outside world by means of the; eustachian tube which runs from the middle ear to back of. the nose. The middle ear contains three ear bones called the malleus or hammer, the indus or anvil and the stapes or stirrup. Attached to each other in that order they allow sound (vibrations to carry from the outside air from the ear drum through the middle ear and into the inner ear. The roof of the middle ear is the bony floor of the brain which is a very thin wall, about a tenth of ah inch thick. The third part,' or the inner ear, is encftsed in some of the hardest bone in the human body called the otic capsule and serves to protect the - very delicate nerve endings and fluids located within it. The stapes or the stirrup fits into a small opening in this bony capsule which housM not only the nerve endings tar hearing, but also contains specialized structures which control balance. These structures are' palled the semicircular canals. | As the sound vibrations ai% conducted through the drurh membrane and ear bones the stirrup moves back and forth in the opening called the oval window. TTius the sound from outside of up is carried along into the higlf ly specialized nerve endings and translated into the sounds Wfe hear every day. | Hearing loss stems from map + ' collectively. Many types of hearing loss can be rerhedied by medication. Others require surgical attention. Some persons may not benefit by any medical or surgical procedure, but instead may be helped with other procedures which might include the use of a hearing aid. The proper decision as to which kind of treatment is to be utilized depends solely on an accurate and positive diagnosis. Many people think they caa be aided by vitamins, operations on the nose or tonsils or ear, but this is not usually the - case. People should not be misled by wild-eyed advertising or high pressure salesmanship. It must be remembered that a hearing aid does not restore normal hearing. Rather it helps the person to hear in the same way that an artifical leg helps a person to walk, but at the same time does not restore normal walking. A persdn should not "shop" for a hearing aid. The process of getting a hearing aid should not be separated from the process of diagnosis and treatment. It should be considered part of good treatment of certain kinds of hearing loss. Hearing loss should not be hidden. It should be discovered and treated. For every person some iimprovement is possible, if only to allay his fears and if only to learn how to make the best of the hearing he has left. fttorsday, May 22 .1962 ^ one given disability assistance ' amounting to $126.15; 114 given general assistance totalling |2,- '•* 278.57 ; 249 on old age pension, amounting to $12,505.11.
