Plotted Flotwore

The name Rogers is no assur-
ance of good quality in flat silver
plate, laboratory tests by Consum-
ers Union show. About a dozen
different brands bear the name
Rogers in one form or another
but none of them was rated Good
by Gu.
In general, the better sets were
heavier in weight and higher in
price. The highest quality plated
silver tested could be expected to
last more than 80 years under av-
erage service while other sets con-
sidered acceptable would prob
ably wear through to the b a e
metal in less than 10 years.
Gu rated the following Gorham

ton, Lady Caroline, all at 5000
for so pieces. Holmes and Ed
wards Youth at $68.50 for 50 piec-
es was also rated Good.

Consumers Union tested and
reported on cameras ranging in
price from SO to $500. It recon-
mends a good box camera either
for youngsters or for adults who
take few pictures and do not de-
mand technically perfect results.
Many cameras with ordinary box
camera lenses and shutters have
been streamlined, made m o e
compact-and also more expen-
sive.
Among inexpensive cameras TAX
ing 2Ax24 and 2Mx3M inch pic
lures, Gu recommends the Brown
lie Target Six-20 ($5.18), Ansco
Panda ($3.95) and Brownie Flash
($112.50 with flash gum. In the
medium price range, Gu recon-
mends the Kodak Vigilant Jr. Six
20 ($18.4D and the Kodak Vigi-
liant Six-20 ($28.86 or $36.36, de-
pending on 1ens). The outstand-
ing twin-lens reflex among those
tested was the Ciroflex $99.45
with Rapax shutter). The best of
the 35 nm. rangefinder cameras,
in GUS opinion, is the Kodak IS
with Rangefinder ($86.58).

On the house
Mushrooms are cheaper now
and they give menus a lift

COT EFT 'em eat mushrooms" is
jadvice about on par with
"let 'em eat cake" but it is oddly
true that of all food items, mush-
rooms this year are one of the
few to come down in price in
stead of soaring into the strato-
sphere.
Mushrooms are averaging at
least 20 cents a pound less than
they have in recent years, sup
plies are ample and quality is
excellent. This is the height of
the season and there is no better
time to use the ''little vegetable
with the big flavor" than now
when our restricted menus can
stand a little lift.
The uses to which they can be
put are many. Remember, little
goes a long way. Even quarter
of pound can make meal more
interesting.
Try them in Welsh rarebit,
poultry stuffing, scrambled eggs,
creamed fish, corn fritter batter,
meat or rice croquettes, con-
somme, meat pies, stuffed toma-
toes, potato pancakes, rice rings,
macaroni and spaghetti dishes,
creamed ham or chicken, Clipped
beef, scalloped potatoes or toma-
toes, vegetable salad, m o d e d

Your heoIfE
New book shows why
us. is q sick nation

has just appeared. Written by the
former chief investigator of the
Senate subcommittee on wartime
health and education, it presents
a devastating indictment of the
level of medical services received
by the average citizen.
The book has a quiet humor and
whimsey that makes it delightful
reading. and it combines success
fully new information with read
ing pleasure. The author, Carl
Malmberg, observes congratula-
tons for his effective contribu-
ton to our health knowledge.
$40 Million Patients" exposes
the my III that the US. is the
healthiest nation in the world.
=
MANY examples are given of
the appalling waste and tragedies,
resulting from misleading drug
advertisements viii ch implant
quack health ideas into our heads.
For example, the laxative
habit. traceable directly to drug
advertising. is related TO large
number of the 1000 appendi-
citis deaths which occur annu-
ally in the U.S.. since il is very
dangerous TO take laxatives at
the time of an acute appendicitis
attack. The average person
rarely needs laxative. and
there seems little doubt that
most doses taken are either un-
necessary or harmful.
Documented evidence is pre-
scented concerning the popularity
of such illegal and unethical prac-
tees as fee-splitting, kick backs,
pricefixing of medical appliances
and commodities, and price-goug-
ing. Thus, the Justice Dept. found
that about 5000 physicians were
implicated in kick-back system
with the largest optical supply
companies in the country, and
were responsible for fixing the
price of eyeglasses at unnecessar-
lily high levels.
HOW GOOD is American medi-
cal care? The author quotes from
articles by outstanding medical
experts showing how, in case aft
er case and disease after disease,
incompetent handling of our major
health problems is the rule, not
the exception.
Reflect on the judgment by
such an official medical society
committee in Minnesota that
fewer than 7 per cent of all
pregnant women in that state
receive obstetrical care meeting
minimum requirements. yet this
State has the best maternity
record in the U.s.!
Consider the finding that two
thirds of patients with cancer of
the rectum admitted to hospitals
had not received a rectal exam
ination before admission, accord
ing to one representative study,
yet. this is a must even in any
routine complete physical exam
nation.
AS the next step in remedying
such conditions we need national
health insurance in a national
health program. Malmberg ex-
plains how this would work and
answers patiently and effectively
the stock arguments against such
a solution-'.it would lead to reg
imentation," interference with
the doctor-patient relationship"
the fright to choose ones own
doctor" and the like.
