April 3, 1973 Reporter Serving Allagany, Potter Counties Ninety Third Year Established 1880 "The object of our discussion is not that my words may triumph over yours, not that yours mny gain victory over mine, but that between us, wo may discover the most perfect truth." Socrates. Editorial Only money There are six times as many Americans over 65 as at the beginning of this century.

With improved health and new medical techniques, the number is increasing rapidly. And it has been asserted that only about a third of those who reach 65 want to quit work. Americans have a not altogether commendable habit of thinking everything can be settled with money. But handing the aged a pension and telling them to clear out doesn't solve everything for them. It can be as difficult for a man to change his way of living at a certain age as it is for a wart hog to change his ugly phiz.

Many industries keep aging workers on the payroll because they value their skills. But the ways of welfareites being what they are, in the course of time there may be a law directing that a man must retire when he reaches 65. Later the limit will be lowered to 60 or perhaps less. It will unless the aging insist on something better than merely being handed a check and told to fold the hands that have always been busy. The non-draft Not all young men born in 1954 will appreciate the distinction, but the Defense Department has announced it will conduct a draft lottery this spring to line up 20-year-olds for 1974, though the draft has been discontinued.

There are no plans for inducting any of this or any other age group into the services. The Pentagon voluntarily has ended the draft, and the nation's draft authorization expires June 30. Congress could extend the authorization, but without a national emergency to create a need there is no sentiment for doing so. So why the draft lottery to select men for induction? Because the services are going through one of the farthest-reaching transitions in history back to an all-volunteer concept. No one knows yet how well it will work.

Higher pay and added incentives are expected to fill somewhat reduced manpower requirements. But every man must register with his draft board on his 18th birthday and for the time being receive a draft number nobody expects will be used. by Ruth Marsh April 3,1923 Goggle's warehouse of Almond owned by J.H.

Town Topics: The Red Triangle Boys have the right-of-way today. A complete abolishment of divorce Supreme Court Justice Maroschef declared he believed should come about by Congressional Act, yet he believed the time is yet a long way ahead because there are unfortunately so many middle aged men and elderly men who want young wives and some young ones who want new wives. But one great preliminary step which should be taken immediately is the passage of making the decree obtained in Paris and elsewhere in Europe invalid.

It is entirely wrong to let rich women run off to Paris to get a divorce. Immorality of men and women should receive the same condemnation from the law and society.

supposed to be working on But what of other phases of creation of a National Council of this "peace with honor" which National Reconciliation and enable the United States to Concord have been deadlocked bring to an end its longest and the start. The council is most divisive war? Fighting between Saigon and communist forces is continuing more than two months after the signing of the Paris peace accords. Casualties on both sides in that time are said to be close to 20,000. The political division of the International Control Commission-Canada and Indochina on the one hand and Hungary and Poland on the lias prevented it from playing any role in maintenance of the peace. Canada has said it will quit the commission at the end supposed to supervise elections and decide the political future of South Vietnam.

The two sides arc deadlocked on Saigon's refusal to recognize the Viet Cong as political equals and Saigon's insistence that national conciliation must come inside the framework of South Vietnam's constitution. The North is said to have sent 40,000 fresh troops and 300 tanks plus artillery into the South since the signing of the agreement. It has aroused serious suspicions that the North intends another military Science today Prenatal test catches signs of birth defects By KATHLEEN NEUMEYER LOS ANGELES (UPI) A prenatal test which someday may be as routine as a blood count potentially could cut in hall' the incidence of mongolism the United States and drastically reduce metabolic, chromosomal and sex-linked birth defects. Dr. Barbara Crandall, a geneticist at the UCLA Medical Center, says mongolism, or Downs syndrome, could be reduced by 50 per cent if the test performed on all pregnant women years or older.

It is the age which is important, no matter how many other healthy children a woman has borne. Statistics show that the incidence of Downs syndrome rises markedly with age. Among mothers 19 or 20 years old, the incidence is only one in births. Among women 45, it shoots up to one in 10 births, according to Dr. Crandall.

A Slow Rise to 40 "There's a slow rise to age 40, and if you look at the figures, you'll see that 50 per cent of the Downs syndrome infants are born to mothers over 35," she said. 'There are 7,000 or 8,000 a year born in the United States, and that number could be cut in half through amniocentesis. "Age is the greatest reason for undergoing the test, and other indications are when one or the other parent has a chromosome translocation or has had a previous child with Downs syndrome," she said. The relatively safe and practically painless procedure has been in use at major medical centers since 1969. It involves the extraction, through a long needle inserted in the abdominal wall, of 15 to 20 cubic centimeters of the amniotic fluid which surrounds the unborn baby.

The test takes about 15 minutes, is done in the obstetrician's office under local anesthetic, and usually causes no discomfort. Sometimes the mother suffers minor cramps. Studies of the fluid will show absolutely whether the unborn child has the chromosomal abnormality indicating a mongoloid. They also will show if the indicative of Tay- Sachs is present in the fluid. offensive despite the peace agreement.

There are a few hopeful signs. Among them are: An Important Milestone The fact that Saigon and the Viet Cong are talking at all is considered an important milestone. In the fighting since the signing of the Paris accords, the Communists have failed to make any significant gains. The government holds the population centers and the Communists mostly empty ground. The government has been making good progress in its land distribution program and in its repair of bridges and canals, considered especially in attempts of both sides to win converts.

From the U.S. standpoint two other considerations are important. The departure of the last American soldier from South Vietnam enabled President Nixon to fulfill a four-year-old promise. He is unlikely to risk a return with any blank check to South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu. It also seems likely both Moscow and Peking will attempt to impress on Hanoi the prospect of billions of dollars in U.S.

The Soviets were said to have shipped some arms to North Vietnam after the deactivation of mines from Haiphong harbor by the Americans. But "on the whole," new supplies of weapons, notably of heavy armor or planes, have been kept within narrow limits, the sources said. Aapparently some ground-to- air anti-aircraft missiles also have been supplied and may continue to be made available to Hanoi by the Russians as defense weapons against any possible new American bombing. The Russians have been Hanoi's main supplier of arms, principally of the sophisticated type of weapons including rockets, planes and tanks.

The Chinese have supplied many of the lighter weapons which played an important part in the campaign of guerrilla warfare. (t was not apparent whether the several hundred tanks reportedly moved by Hanoi toward the south recently came from new Soviet supplies or from existing stocks. If the reports are true, it would represent a violation of the Paris peace agreement. Moscow, the sources said, will watch the United States for any breaches of the terms on arms supplied under the peace agreement. Russia is now putting greater emphasis on reconstruction aid and expects to impress on North Vietnam the priority nature of that assistance over arms delivery, the sources said.

By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI) Upon learning of Ken May- narcl's death a week or so ago, I began trying to compose a suitable tribute. But each time I started, my typewriter became so drenched in nostalgia the keys stuck togel'wr. Maynard, you see, was a party to my first identity crisis. And I have been in somewhat of a quandary ever since. If in the gloaming of any given Saturday during the silent movie era you had chanced to pass by the Queen Theater in downtown Merkel, you would have witnessed a minor riot.

Specifically, you would have seen a group of small boys preparing to re-enact the Saturday matinee. Playing cowboy was always Wall Street chatter NEW YORK (UPI) Reynolds Investment Commentary says "There is no shortage of statistical evidence to prove that many stocks are attractive by old fashioned statistical yardsticks." It adds, "The Dow Industrial are below levels of seven years ago; 70 per cent of the stocks that make up the 500 are lower than they were 12 months ago; many stocks are currently available at prices near their 1970 lows; studies of the stocks selling at historical evaluations are common." Reynolds says these are conditions important in equity evaluation. The outlook for the weeks ahead appears to favor the bulls, TPO Inc. notes. It says, "In view of the deeply oversold condition of most stocks, the probability of an intermediate recovery lasting possibly into the summer is growing." Purchases should be selective, it advises.

The Alexander Hamilton Institute believes further evidence of a slowdown in the rate of inflation is necessary for the stock market to maintain a sustained uptrend. However, it says "We believe such evidence will be forthcoming and thus advise a positive market attitude." preceded by a sidewalk shoving match to determine who was Tom Mix, who was Buck Jones, who was Hoot Gibson and who was Ken Maynard. The violence stemmed from the fact that none of us could decide for more than a week at a time which of those heroic horsemen he would rather be. The way it worked out, we always wanted to be the cowboy whose movie we had just seen. If a Buck Jones movie was playing that Saturday, everybody wanted to be Buck Jones.

This honor could only be won by shoving the other boys off the sidewalk. Secondary disputes were then resolved by shouting "dibs on Hoot Gibson," "dibs on Tom Mix" and so on until everyone was some kind of a cowboy. Occasionally, the Queen crossed us up by showing a Bob Steele movie on Saturday afternoon. Nobody wanted to be Bob Steele on account of he had curly hair. So instead of playing cowboy after the movie, we would go down to Vaughn's Meat Market and wait around for an order for spiced ham to come in so we could watch Doc Vaughn run his new electric slicing machine.

All are gone now. Maynard was the last of the big four to pass on to that Great Bunkhouse in the Sky. And I still haven't made up my mind which one was my ideal. You can't imagine what it's been like living with this dilemma all these years torn among divided loyalties burdened by doubt. It's a wonder all of us original fans aren't schizoid.

What I'm leading up to here is a plea for a retrospective showing of their sort of shoot-'em-up film festival at which Maynard, Mix, Gibson and Jones could be viewed side- by-side rather than a week apart. Maybe then we could finally decide which one we would rather have been. But just in case, I'm going to practice shoving. INSURANCE Homeowners-Fire Automobile-Compensation Life-Health DONALD J.
