Standard-Post IMt Coach Dahlberg 'Then we'd burn our Peace Corps cards, Metcalf included His mark deeply etched in Butte history "Old age is catching up to me and this is the last time out." That's the retirement statement with a touch of regret made by Harry "Swede" Dahlberg, veteran physical education director and coach at Butte High School. He made it in an interview after his Bulldogs won the class AA title in Montana's 60th Interscholastic Track and Field Meet last weekend. To mark his "last time out" but more so in recognition of his outstanding career and fine contribution to the youth of Butte, the community paid Coach Dahlberg signal honor.

723-4200 and school district. The day closed with a banquet and glowing tribute. The careers of few men hereabouts have been so successful, so exemplary, so closely tied to the life of a community as that of the popular and highly and warmly-respected Butte High coach. His enviable record as a coach brought him not only the plaudits of those in his own profession but won him the admiration of this community, which in many ways is indebted to this'man of mild manner but gifted and exceedingly capable in directing young men and influencing them. The mentor, not only inspired athletes to give their utmost, but to concentrate, as he put it, "on the books." A current example is the track star.

Sam Verona. He's a stellar athlete and a straight A student. The coach's physical education program at Butte High has brought him academic recognition, as prominent as that of the athletes he put in competition. The community long will remember and appreciate the accomplishments, the benefits derived from Mr. Dahlberg's exceptional career.

This has been clearly and appropriately demonstrated and indicated. We join the community in wishing happiness and contentment hi his retirement and want to assure him that although this is the "last time out," we expect to see a lot of him and for a long time to come. RFK's involvement U.S. politics affects Latin America New York's junior Senator Robert F. Kennedy is Involved in various degrees of foreign intrigue which, were they to be performed by a private citizen, would get him hailed on the mat in the State Department.

Aside from his disagreement with President Johnson over the policy of the war in Viet Nam, he also has Readers Speak Family man wants more Tech degrees Dear Sir: I have been following the campaign for additional degrees at Montana Tech with great interest. I have a particular reason: Five children. Since this is my town and I hope to continue living here, a stronger degree program at Tech would be ideal for me. I know the cost of a college education. And, I the cost is continuing to climb with inflation.

Elimination of out-of-town living costs and transportation should be a big factor for any Butte or nearby resident. This is considered by many persons now sending their children to their first two years of college at Tech. Wouldn't it be nice if we could depend on four years at Tech? Not everyone has the bent toward engineering, so a more varied curriculum is necessary for those students. It undoubtedly would mean attendance of more girls. There should be many persons who would take advantage of an expanded degree program at Tech.

Let's hope they make their views launched an attack to repudiate the Administration's role in the Dominican Republic and its insistence on impartial neutrality in the forthcoming Dominican elections. Senator Kennedy is financing excursions to that country of numerous scholars and academicians presumably for the purpose of gathering material for speeches. Each of these researchers has expressed strong approval of the candidacy of Juan Bosch, the left-of-center candidate for president of the Dominican Republic. Senator Kennedy himself has expressed his support of Bosch and has- declared that he b'elieves the U. S.

should give wider support to left-of- center governments throughout Latin America. He does not explain why he thinks this country would benefit from such an arrangement. The U. S. government officially maintains neutrality in the Dominican elections though it is suspected that both President Johnson and the State Department hope that conservative Joaquin Belaguer will win.

Kennedy has his eye on the White House. Because of his ambition whoever occupies the White House, be he Republican or Democrat, is likely to incur the Senator's opposition. Because of his Senatorial immunity it is unlikely that he will receive the slap on the wrist that is due him for meddling in international affairs without sanction of the State Department. We must conclude it would be a pity if the emerging nations of Latin America were to be embroiled in our domestic political struggles. You say it know By WILLIAM S.

PENFIELD Early in the 19th century when Irish immigrants poured into the United States, they brought many of their native words with them. One of these was "shebeen," which denoted a lowly public house where liquor was sold without a license. "Shebeen" underwent a change in the United States. It was corrupted to "shebang" and acquired the meaning of a hut and its anything and its accessories. When one says that he is "fed up with the whole shebang," he means that he is tired of some subject and everything connected with it.

Hock County Star-Herali The people pay SPOKESMAN REVIEW The Bureau of Labor Statistics has just announced that living costs have jumped again and that the January-to-April price rise has been the biggest in 15 years. This new confirmation of the effects of inflation gives added emphasis to what U.S. Sen. Len B.

Jordan told a regional meeting of the Associated Taxpayers of Idaho at Coeur d'Alene the other day. He said that since 1961 residents of his slate have suffered an average yearly loss of $30.7 million from inflation. This loss, he declared, is the equivalent of a hidden 3.2 per cent sales tax on citizens of the state. But the citizens get no benefit from the drain. Sen.

Jordan said that the problem of inflation is growing more serious, and that with the exception of Hie federal income tax, inflation has taken more purchasing power away from the people than any other item. Yet the Johnson administration is continuing its policy of federal deficit spending-a primary cause of a scale' greater than ever before. II is (hi 1 people who are paying the cosl inflation.

Help for candidates Presidential warning Grim times ahead By CLAYTON FR1TCHEY WASHINGTON After weeks of unusually restrained comment on Viet Nam, me President is beginning to show his hand again, and, if what he is now saying accurately reflects policy in the making, we are in for some grim times ahead.

should hurriedly be added, however, that hard experience has taught Washington correspon dents not to take iwiMfck. literally the President's public remarks, for he often moves verbally in mysterious and oblique ways in leading up to action. Nevertheless, it would be a mistake to ignore, or lightly dismiss the! latest statements of the President, not only because of their serious intimations, but because they had the ring of Johnson in them. Tlie tone and temper may sound emotional, but they were not views improvised on the spot or tossed off in a sudden fit of pique. It was evident that the President was saying what he wanted to say.

His remarks may not give us a reliable clue as to what he is going to do next in Viet Nam, but they do signal what he is not going to do. He apparently is not, as some feared and some hoped, going to use Hie civil unrest in Viet Nam to relax his policy there. Those close to the President have come to know that when he is not saying much, he is thinking a lot. Ever since the antigovernment demonstrations broke out in Viet Nam last month, Mr. Johnson has kept his own counsel.

Until last week, his comments were in low key, and gave no clue to his personal reaction. Adverse effect Yet even Secretary of State Rusk has acknowledged that the anarchy in Viet Nam has had an adverse effect on the American public. "I think it should be obvious to our friends in South Viet Nam," he said, "that there is a restiveness here." This restiveness, which has also spread to some of Johnson's strongest supporters in Congress, could not have escaped the President's attention. Nor, being an avid follower of the public opinion polls, is it. likely he would have missed the latest Harris report which said, "less than a majority, 47 per cent, currently gives Presi- dent Johnson a favorable rating OB his handling of me situation, and the number of people who think we should pull out has increased sharply." The poll also reported that the "confidence level in the government of South Viet Nam has fallen, and for every American who expresses confidence in Gen.

Ky there are more than two who harbor serious doubts." There has never been a President more acutely sensitive to the domestic political climate, and so it was not unnatural for his disciplined silence to arouse speculations that he might be having some second thoughts about Viet Nam. There are many politicians who rightly wrongly have always felt that Lyndon Johnson wou'd not hesitate to change or reverse his Asian policy if popular support for it in the U.S. showed signs of collapsing. That may or may not be true, but his hotly-worded speeches of the last week have dispelled the notion that he has any immediate plans for altering course. "The road ahead," he warned, "is going to be difficult We shall not pull out." He has even fallen back on his crystal ball to justify Viet Nam on the grounds that a failure there would inevitably breed a larger war.

with casualties "in the millions" instead of thousands as now. Not seers Presidents and Prime Ministers invariably believe they can forsee the future, but there is nothing in history (current or ancient) to support this illusion. Nobody in the world, for instance, foresaw the downfall of Khruschchev, or Sukarno, or Nkrumah. And who would have dreamed that Germany and Japan would become our close allies? The President has also suddenly gone back to scorning his critics. Now they are "nervous Nellies." He minks they ought to stop talking like he did when he was running against Goldwater and branding him a warmonger.

"There are those." declared Johnson on Sept. 25, 1964, "that say I ought to go north and drop bombs, to try to wipe out the supply lines But we don't want to get involved in a nation with 700 million people and get tied down in a land war in Asia." And later he added, "We are not going to send American boys 10,000 miles away from home to do what Asian boys ought to be doing for themselves." By FULTON LEWIS JR. WASHINGTON Rep. Jamei O'Hara (D-Mich.) is a four-term veteran of Congress, a member of the House Education and Labor Committee whose voting record is termed "100 per cent pro-labor" by the AFlrCIO Committee on Political Education. It is not surprising, therefore, that at least seven national unions have thus kicked into the O'Hara campaign kitty.

During the first two months of 1986, O'Hara received contributions from the following union groups: COPE Building and Construction Trades Division, AFL-CIO International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Machinists Union Railway Clerks Railway Laborers United Auto and the Trainmen's Political Education League The elections are more than five months away and O'Hara has been assured of additional contributions from these and other unions. Like many other members of Congress he is being rewarded for a voting record that meets with the approval of the labor barons. COPE recently awarded $500 "travel grants" to seven Democratic lawmakers to permit them to visit their districts more frequently for campaigning. The grants went to men who vote labor's line without fail Sens. Ross Bass and Jennings Randolph and Reps.

Molner: How does esophagitis start? I had it and I am still on a bland N.M. The esophagus or gullet the portion of the alimentary or food tract extending from the throat to the stomach. When it becomes inflamed, we call esophagitis. As one example which I recently mentioned, although not by name, children only too often manage to get hold of and swallow lye, baint brush cleaner or some similar caustic. Esophagitis is too mild a term to apply to the original burns from such a caustic.

However, as the area heals, there often (usually, in fact) will be a stricture. TTie scar tissue draws the tissues tigher, partially closing the esophagus. Tlien the normal passage of food past this stricture becomes irritating. This irritation and accompanying inflammation is the sort of condition which we can rightly call esophagitis. Tliat is scarcely the only cause.

There may be ulceration, or there may be some fault in the development of the esophagus, just as there may be such a developmental fault in any part of the body a "congenital hip," an inborn heart defect, and so on. Finally, hiatal hernia, which I have discussed rather frequently in this column because it occurs so often, can cause eso- phagitis. In that case, the hiatal hernia permits a backwash of stomach acids up into the esophagus. The esophagus is not designed to tolerate these digestive juices, so irritation esophagitis results. GOP presidential candidates Well, the answer is yes and no By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (AP) The ranks of the would-be 1968 Republican presidential candidates look a little thinner maybe but a politician's second thoughts are like a rescue squad that keeps him breathing.

The Republicans have had some notable switch-arounds, like New York's Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller, Barry Goldwater, and former Vice President Richard M. Nixon. All of Ihem at one time or an- olher said they wouldn't dream of wanting the Republican presidential nomination and Goldwater just said it.

again and then contradicted themselves. Monday Rockefeller, saying lie would seek a third term as governor this year, declared himself out of the presidential running "forever, without re- He had sought the nomination twice. In 1959, when he said he would not be a candidate in 1960, he described his decision as "definite and final." As the 1960 convention drew near he said he was willing to be drafted. Nixon go', the nomination. When Rockefeller did actively go after it in 1964, Goldwater got it, only to be drowned in that year's election by President Johnson.

This month Goldwater, asked if he'd try again, said, "It would be stupid. It would be a mistake to nominate anybody who was beaten as bad as I was. I would be the first to say no." But at the same time he said he expects the 1968 Republican convention to be about as conservative as the one which nominated him two years ago. If he changes his mind about running, it won't be the first time. From I960 to 1964 he kept say- ing he would not seek the presidential nomination, didn't want it, and simply wanted to run for the Senate.

Then on Jan. 3, 1964. he declared himself a candidate and began campaigning. Now he is saying again he just wants to run for the Senate, this time in 1968. In politics Nixon is a hardy perennial who has flip-flopped like tiie others.

Within a year after John F. Kennedy defeated him for the presidency in 1960 Nixon was saying, "I shall not be a candidate for president in 1964. I shall be a candidate for governor of California in 1962." And he was, only to be beaten by Gov. Edmund G. Brown.

Then Nixon promptly held a news conference, denounced the press for its treatment of him, and declared it was his last news conference: "You won't have Nixon to kick He went even further 10 days later, saying that was his last campaign for public office. Within a few months he was holding news conferences again. And in 1963 he was saying he would not be a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination again. "That answers all questions of that type," he said. "My statement means there can be no draft." But in 1964 he said he would accept a draft, explaining: "If the opportunity should come again, I would accept it." Goldwater got it.

Since then Nixon has kept. himself in the public eye with statements, oral and written, on public affairs and running the government, avoiding talk about the 1988 nomination which he might not be anxious for if by then President Johnson is riding high. In severe cases, such as from caustic or corrosive chemicals, a long series of treatments to dilate and ease the stricture may be necessary before the esophagitis can brought under control. In the more ordinary cases, treatment in general follows that used for peptic ulcers; bland, soft diet, and antacids. If a specific cause can be determined, then of course the proper treatment is to correct it.

Buf if the exact cause is not apparent, or cannot be cured by direct attack, then the bland diet and antacids to counteract juices from the stomach are the best way to ease the irritation. I presuma you have had an X-ray study of the upper digestive tract. Dear Dr. Molner: My 'baby niece Is having trouble with both staph and strep germs. A friend told me these were caused by filth and dirt, yet the baby's mother keeps the house immaculate.

I have lois of cramps and am nervous all the time and keep wondering if it is No, sickle cell anemia is NOT cancer. It is, however, one of the many diseases for which no cure has yet been found.
