Recreation
Room For
The Family
By ELEANOR ROSS

THERE'S nothing like a recres.
ton room, one that the whole family
can enjoy, to keep the folks at home,
instead Of wandering to what they
think are greener, less-reatricted
pastures. The home should be the
place for wholesome, happy recrea-
ton, and where it is, the family is
well knit and stays happily together.
We know more than one house,
hold where the dining room has been
turned into . recreation room, with
all but company meals taken in the
breakfast nook, and with important
meals served in the living room. A
small sacrifice for the constant joy
and pleasure that recreation room
affords, and the dividends it pays in
happy living.
Simply Furnished
Attractively yet simply furnished,
. recreation room is always ready
for fun and lots Of it. II it is well
handled, it can double as an extra
guest room, with the aid Of COM
Portable modern sofa bed-two sofa
beds are better if q college son or
daughter brings home several
friends at . time. A couple Of beds
placed at right angles to q corner
are out Of the way and offer swell
Longing space by day.
Other furnishings should be
equally functional and appropriate.
A good start is a floor covering that
can take lots Of punishment and is
easily kept clean. A ping-pong table
is practically an essential. Its value
is more than just for q game but it
makes . wonderful buffet table as
we'll. Pin.up lamps offer . good safe
ty measure for they leave the floor
free Of cords and lamps which
might cause accidents.
Family Should Help
Since the room is for the enjoy
ment Of all, the whole family should
work together to make the room
just the way they want it. Dad and
the boys might build some book
cases and storage cabinets to line
the walls, grand for holding records,
magazines and game equipment.
Old orange crates or plywood are
materials. Paint and
deesls will finish the job with color
full appeal. The girls in the family
can whip up draperies, slip covers
and pillow covers Of sturdy, colorful
materials.
Plan the furnishings so that there
is plenty Of free space in the center
Of the room, which means that every |
bit Of wall space must be used to
Colorful accessories,
prints, = big mirror, all will help to
give the room brightness and charm,
80 that the "rec" room will be the
favorits rallying spot for the fam
lily and their friends. And don't for
get, that even if it does cost little
money to fix it up, it will more than
pay for itself, materially speaking,
in the wear and tear that won't be
visited on the living room.

Disorder thar
May Trouble
Elderly Men
D, HERMAN N. BUNDEsEN, MD.

MANY elderly men are subject.
from time to time. to a condition
known as prostatism in which the
prostate gland becomes so enlarged
as to block the flow Of urine from
the bladder.
The usual symptoms consist Of
frequent emptying Of the bladder,
straining when the bladder is emp
tied, and some lack of control. Some
times there is blood present in the
urine. but this is unusual. Occasion
ally, it is impossible for the patient
to empty the bladder at all and in
some instances there may be dis
comfort, burning or singing
Physical Examination
When such symptoms are pres
ent, an examination by a physician
should be made, including q study
of the urine to determine if there
are large numbers Of white blood
cells present. The prostate gland
itself can be felt through the rec
tum. Such an examination is impor-
tant in order to tell if cancer is
present.
The treatment for, the proststism
depends upon its cause. If there is
no tumor growth present, many
cases can be treated without opera.
ton.
If an infection is present, it may
be helpful to wash out the bladder
with some antiseptic solution and
to take, by mouth, some preparation
which acts as . urinary antiseptic.
Definite Improvement
Massage Of the prostate gland
often results In definite improve.
ment, particularly when the gland
is soft. If the gland 10 firm and hard.
massage may not be Of any benefit.
If the symptoms are moderate or
severe, operation is usually advis-
able. The specialist will decide just
what type Of operation Should b
used. One commonly emplc2ed is
known as . transurethral rANetion.
This operation Is carried out
through the systoscope-a tabs with
, light on the end-which ID inserted
directly into the bladder.
After Operation !
Following an operation and after
the patient Is at home, further treat
ment may be needed, such ~ wash
ing out the bladder to clear up in
lection, and taking urinary antisep.
tics. Such after care is important In
order to avoid complications.
When symptoms Of prostatism
develop, a physician should be con.
suited at once, because the earlier
treatment is started the better will
be the results. Early treatment may
be helpful in warding Of the need
for an operation; and, furthermore,
II dangerous tumor is present, it
is possible it may be discovered and
eliminated before irreparabls. dam
age occurs.

ANOTHER THREAT

Regardless of the outcome of the present contract neootiatons it is believed that Harry Bridges ana his International Longshoremen and Warehousemeh Union CIO intend to pull political" strike on the West Coast this year
 In support of this belief is new demand py the ,onpshoremen which has been presented to the em- n,overs since the United States government moved III o halt the unions intended June b strike by court injunction. =
 This new demand is that the union De lreeo rom loading any ships declared unfair by the Woiio Federation of Trade Unions, an international union group formed in Paris in ls45
 This would that an organization generally considered to be Communist dominated with head quarters in Paris would dictate which ships would be loaded in all Coast ports with C1O longshoremen
 It is quite probable that ships heading for Alaska with materials for the strengthening of defense bases in the Territory would be considered unfair by the WFTU since Communist Russia, rapidly building up military establishment in Siberia often has con- demned our doing likewise in Alaska.
 The existence of Communist dominated labor unions in strategic Alaska is of much to all Generally speaking, the A. F. of L. has repudlated the Communists in the labor movement during the last year It is the CIO organizations which continue to offer protection.

it seems that the mechanical and scientific aptitude of the Russians has been sighted in all the standard textbooks Recently the world has been informed that
 if was really the Russians who invented such devices as the arplane and the internal combustion engine, and it would not be overly surprising to be told soon that the Soviet has had the atomic bomb all the time.
 The fact is of course, that most great inventions and discoveries are product of many minds work ing contemporaneously in many places. The assign ment of credit is often arbitrary or accidental and sometimes later proved wrong. No one can say with fnality who the most instrumental in most great researches though sometimes efforts to steal credit or muscle into the act pretty transparent. In any case, If the Russians want to compensate for what is patentJv an inferiorty complex by proving that the alphabet was really the product of early aay Communist, or that some Paleolithic Muscovite discovered fire who is around to dispute them?

that the peasant is not with us. This was made quite evident with the States purchase of grain sur pluses. The plan was failure, as less than 50 percent of the fix ed quantity was delivered by the peasants. The peasant is cunning and refractory and his belief in gods and priests cannot easily be driven out of his mind. Because of that, we have had many Giffl- culties and trouble. I will not in- dulge now in matters of religion, but if some day the priests rouse the people by ringing the church. es' bells, it is certain that we shall have to face complete uprisal. And the peasants are well armed.

Jobn l. Lewis Wm Green, Dan Tobn and Harry Bridges are powerful figures in the AFL ana CIO councils but not of them can hold ther followers in line when it comes to a national election.
 This has been proven time and time agaln Ill potn State and national elections.
