X hoarse voice is not a pleasant voice to hear, but neither does it mean that disease is present, since many persons are naturally endowed with a lower pitch in tone than others, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society points out in Health Talk. However, when hoarseness affects the voice of a person who normally has had a clear tonal quality, whether high-pitched or low, ' an investigation of the larynx is indicated. T . The nose, the sinuses, the throat, the jvindpipe or trachea, . itod the lungs all play a part in voice production, but the larynx or voice box is the center or factory. •J The most essential part3 of the ttrynx are two ribbon-like folds, the vocal cords, which contract and expand, varying the space between them. The lungs act as bellows which force air through the space between the vocal cords, while other portions of the throat, the nose and the sinuses provide the resonance, and the tongue, teeth and lips mold •ound into words or speech. If the vibrations of the vocal cords are functioning normally, that is, without any swelling or obstruction caused by infection or disease, the voice will be clear but if there is some interference, hoarseness results. Thus hoarseness becomes a symptom and not a disease in itself. Many diseases may affect the vocal cords in the larynx, but some are more common than others. For example, the common cold is the most common condition t a u s i n g hoarseness. However, *thls type is usually temporary and disappears once the Inflamed and swollen tissues return to normal. Hoarseness may bo present in varying degrees from that which develops after cheering in some game to the serious hoarseness which is associated with cancer and diseases of the heart or brain. Hoarseness is frequently associated with tumors of the neck and chest. Hoarseness may also develop if a growth or tumor develops in the larynx. These tumors may be benign or malignant, but if they fall in the latter group t hoarseness is usually the first and only danger signal. Pain, coughing and difficulty in breathing or swallowing do not ordinarily occur until the disease is well advanced. When detected early, much car. be accomplished in saving the larynx, 'but when in the advanced stages radical surgery is moat Always necessary. These are reasons vyhy, if hoarseness persists for weeks after apparent recovery from a cold, or develops without, a cotd, the condition should not^%0 .ignored or treated lightly. S-- Examination of the larynx is done with mirrors--one, the head mirror, worn *on the physician's head to reflect light down into the throat, and the other, smaller in size at the eiij of a long instrument, which is introduced into the patient's throat to enable the physician to inspect the larynx. Together with this visual examination, additional tests are frequently necessary to determine the cause of hoarseness. Your voice is your prized possession to communicate your thoughts and ideas to others. Don't strain it. Rest it, particularly when you are tir£d. But remember that persistent hoarseness is a symptom associated with many diseases and should be investigated by your ptoysto% ian.

Space Suit For Inferplanetoiry Flight On Display At Museuitfe A space suit that will protect man in interplanetary flight is now on display in the B. F. Goodrich company's "Story of Rubber" exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry. The high altitude pressure suit, forerunner of the Navy's recently announced space suit, becomes a permanent part of the exhibit. The exhibit model provides oxygen for breathing, microphone and earphones for communication and electricity for heating garments worn under the suit. All are "piped in" to the suit through a single assembly which can be disconnected in one quick movement should the aviator be forced to bail o u t. When fully pressurized, the suit surrounds tfceS flier with four pounds of air pleasure, creating an artifical environment similar to the atmoephere of earth. Should a plane be damaged so that it must be abandoned at great heights, the suit carries its own supply of oxygen and air under pressure. This supply will sustain life as the pilot plummets through space on his way down to breathable atmosphere. Without suit protection, man could; not fall fast enough from heights near 100,000 feet to remain alive during the time taken to reach his natural atmosphere. f Made of rubberized fabric, the suit is flexible enough even when pressurized to allow all needed freedom of movement.

Pontiac's distinctive Silver-Streak beauty is certainly worthy of admiration-- and gets plenty of it everywhere. Pontiac's big-car roominess, its luxurious Body by Fisher, its smooth, easy-going ride--certainly these, too, are deserving of the praise they get. And when you sit behind the wheel and feel the effortless surge from Pontiac's famous power plant you'll know tint you're driving a mighty proud performer. As a matter of fact, the only modest thing about a Pontiac is its price--for this wonderful car which gives you the engineering qual and the fafest features of the costliest carsv priced just above the very lowest! And when you're figuring price, be sure to remember Pontiac's remarkable re-sale value --the sure test of long-lasting quality. Why not come in and see how easily you, too, can become the proud owner of a new Pontiac?
