PORTLAND, Nov. S.(AP) Oregon had its first nerve
track sleuth today, a complicated electrical gadget devised
to "tattle" on nerve impulses. ,
Dr. R. S. Down, specialist in the anatomy and function

corder into -service at the University of Oregon medical
school, where he! hopes to learn something new about the
course nerve impulses tageo

their brains and back again:
Minute electrical Impulses, am

would drown out tho sound of
the nerve Impulse Itself.

unlike those of the past couple of
weeks I actually have something
in mind to start writing about.
MMC
It would appear as though pub
lic Interest in the Mickey- Mouse
club were gaining. This past week
I have had a lot of requests for
the community sing numbers; so.
It looks as If we will have what
you want and they all seem to
point to one number, "South of
the Border." I'm glad to get all
comment and criticism on the show
I can get because it will enable ua
to make a better show, guided by
your likes and dislikes.
-MMC -
We all had a- lot of fun out
of last week's show, brought about
mainly by the appearance of old
friends on the program. This
week we really have a show in
store for you.' Already signed up
for this week are auch sterling fa
vorites as Viola Edmund son, who
has just returned from a month's
sojourn In the east; Eileen Fisher,
our little South American gal
who's going to sing 'South of the
Border." Well all join her on the
third and fourth choruses prob
ably. Tentatively listed for this
week also are Arnold. Eckstein.
Salem's own banjo master, and
the one and only Dick Stober. Dick
doesn't know whether he can get
off work for the show or not, but
we all hope' so. There's still a
couple of openings In this week's
show for some others who feel
that they should be able to offer
something" unusual In the line of
entertainment.
MMC
We're just a little slow about
getting the ball rolling on the
chorus deal, but it seems to be a
little difficult to find someone
who Is capable of managing it.
We need someone who can play
the piano, and who understands
harmony to the extent that he or
she can write the necessary ar
rangements we need. '
