Answer: The law requires
that the 1861 allotment for a
farm be used as the farms
allotment base in obtaining
its share of the 1862 county
allotment if any one of the
following conditions is met:
a. If as much as rs percent

ROCHESTER, N. Y. (AP).
Women usually are ac-
cepted on a par with men in
the medical profession, a
group of women doctors
agree.
"I've never felt anyone
made it tough for me because
I'm a woman, said DR.. Ruth
A. Lawrence of Rochester,
a pediatrician. However,
sometimes clinic patients will
say, after I've examined
them, Now. when is the
doctor coming?'"
DIR. Lois J. Plummer of
Buffalo said children accept
the idea of a woman doctor
better than adults because
they haven't any precon-
ceived idea of a doctor being
a man. And, too. they are
used to their mothers"
A Rochester obstetrician,
DR.. Mary Jane Bird, said
most of her patients don't
seem to care whether their
doctor is a man or a woman.
In obstetrics, especially, you
may find a few who prefer
a woman doctor"
The biggest problem for a
woman, says DR.. Ruth E.
Wainer Schwartz of Roch-
ester, is getting into medical
school.
THE likelihood of a man
sticking with it and being
more productive in his career
is better than a woman's.
So, if a man and a woman
of equal abilities applied, the
tendency would be for them
to choose the man-and I
can't blame them.
The women gave their
views at a meeting of the
Women's Medical Society
of New York State.

reputable life insurance
company appears before the
seminar the following week
to explain to the employees
why the policies they bought
at the age 35 may not be
applicable to-. retirement,
and how they can convert
them to something that is.

the corporation appears the
week after that to talk on
how a job with the corpo-

ment job. 1t might be on
a part-time basis with the
corporation in the areas of
research and surveys which
corporations are always con-
Quoting, or on a private basis
of supplying raw material,
or a sales outlet, for the
corporations products or
other products that are

coming up in the commu-

And SO it goes for the two
years until the employe
reaches 65.

these seven points as the
keystone of its seminar. But
it has placed in charge OF
the program a man who
plays it by ear. If. for in

good ones.

schiizophrenio cuses Yory
er pR: PETER .. sTEINeRoAN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: win
you give me some informa-
ton about schizophrenia? I
had been having some
trouble getting along with
a 30-year-old man whom I
liked very much, until the
past few months. Next thing
i heard. the poor fellow was
admitted to a, mental hos
pital for the treatment
of schizophrenia-Miss T.,
Michigan.
MOST PEOPLE do not
realize how great is the
problem of this disease. In
fact, it's the Nations num-
Der one mental health prob
lem. More than half of all
mental patients in hospitals
have schizophrenia. It even
outranks pSychoSes due to
cerebral arteriosclerosis in

friend who is 80, the highest
incidence of admission to
mental hospitals of this con-
dition is between rs and "a

Schizophrenics stay in the
hospital an average of about
10 years. However, a very
large number can be treated

know of no medically ac-
cepted medication which will
raise blood pressure over a
long period of time. OF
course. we depend upon,
certain drugs which are
often life-saving in quickly
raising pressure during an
emergency-as in coronary
thrombosis, for example.
But 1 don't know of any
tonics, vitamins or special
medicines which will raise
the blood pressure and keep
it raised.
l leave the most important
point for last: Why want to
raise it at all? Why not be
thankful it isn't high blood
pressure that's worrying
you? For it is true. that the
healthiest people ! have
known have been those with
so-called low-blood pressures
(anywhere from 90-110 sys-
tolic).
If the doctor hasn't dis
covered any chronic disease
as the cause of the low
pressure, then I suggest that
you forget it. People have
a tendency to blame every
thing from headaches. con-
stipation and tiredness on
their low-blood pressure
when the cause may lie else
where.
To sum up: Be thankful
that your pressure is low
rather than high. You'll live
longer with low-blood pres

This is the story of a
corporation that has set out
to train its employees for
retirement-not with a few
sweet talks and some COM
pany literature, but with a
substantial program.
The program does not
grow out of any apprehen-
sion we have over our policy
of compulsory retirement
at 65." a vice president says.
1--WE think that policy is here
to stay. and in fact that il
may eventually be lowered
to age 81. We anticipate no
pressure from unions or
government that would re-
quire us to change it.
Our program is based,
rather. on a feeling of moral
obligation to our society
by the executives of our cor
poration-to send our re-
tired employees back into the
world as fit, useful human
beings who can keep on con-
tributing something worth
while to our world. -"
The program. loosely re-
ferred to as the Golden
Years Seminar" is open to
all employees who have
passed their 63rd birthday.
Here are the rules:
Any employe passing bis
63rd birthday may apply to
his supervisor for permis-
sion to be excused from
work each Monday from 4
to 5 pm. to attend sessions
of the Golden Years Semi
mar.
This one hour per week
will be considered working
time.
Attendance at the semi
mar is strictly voluntary,
but employees who decide to
attend the weekly sessions
will be the first chosen to
do any part-time work
which the corporation may
require from time to time
after the employe retires.
Employees who attend the
weekly seminars will be the
first considered to attend
small weekly evening ses-
sions, to be held from 7::30
to $3.50 pm. each Wednes-
day in the company audi
torium. These sessions,
open to husbands or wives
of employees, will be CAB
fest sessions in which the
employees will debate-among
themselves and with experts
in specialized fields-the
varied problems of retire
ment. The Wednesday eve
ming sessions will not be
considered working time.
Here are the subjects that
constitute the program of
the 4 to S Monday after
noon sessions (the subjects
arousing the most interest
will be dissected in the
Wednesday evening gab-
fests):
. GRAY : HAIRED LAW.
Various members of the
corporations law firm ap-
pear before the seminar ses-
sions to speak on-and
answer questions on-wills,
selling a house, making in
come tax returns. passing
money on to children, buy
ing a cemetery lot or what
have you?
. SOCIAL, SECURITY. An
official of. the local Social
Security office appears the
next week to explain the
how. why, what and when
of getting that Government
check.
. INVESTMENTS. (Still
without it costing the cor
poration a dime) an officer
of a reputable investment
house or bank appears the
following week to explain
and answer questions on
what is better than a mat
tress for the investment of
whatever money the en-
ploye has saved.
. WHERE TO GO. A

local high school appears
