HEALTH AND FAMXLV (an editorial) - --- It's only natural that we yink of new medical advances primarily in terms of how they reduce pain and disability, shorten the length of time we are sick and prevent untimely death. The Health Information Foundation reminds us, however, there is a. less obvious side to better health -- it's important contribution to .the happiness and wellbeing of the American family. A generation ago, the foundation rpjiorts, 16 percent of all Ainerfcan children had lost by death one or more parents by the time they -reached the1 age of 18. In 1955, however, less tiian 5 percent suffered such a loss. In actual numbers, there, were 6,4 million children orphaned in* 1920 and 2.7 million last year... This sharp decline is even more significant when considering the great increase in the number of children under 18--a total of 55.5 million in i955 compared to 40 million in 1920. One important result of this drop in mortality is that hundreds of thousands of families are now supported by wage earners who" would not be alive if the mortality rates of a generation ago still prevailed. Other results are not so easily measured. For as the foundation points . out, who can calculate such imponderables as a happy home, loving parents and affectionate guidance? One thing, however, is sure, medical progress has brought not only better physical health but a happier, longer family, life to millions of Americans--ahd to millions yet unborn. What a satisfaction it ; is to finally wear out something you never liked but could not afford to throw or give away. \ Twice, Told Tales V«d^e2E2BlC Forty Years Ago (From issue of Oct. 26, 1956) The Hoy Banking company bank •at Ringvyood was broken into last Saturday nighf ahd something less of $5,000 in currency taken.
