EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday December 8, 1954 Diplomat Students Pass Up Study of Social Etiquette Medford, Mass. (U.R) Bud ding diplomats at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy pass up cookie-pushing and the study of social etiquette for sterner stuff history, law and economics. Fletcher officials feel that the social tools of diplomacy should come naturally, and the theory seems to work. The 21-year-old institution, located on the Tufts College campus, has more than 700 graduates in the U. S. state department, international organ izations, international business concerns and the foreign minis tries of various governments. But, Dean Robert Burgess Stewart explained, "We are not a trade school turning out dip lomats." "Strictly speaking," he added, "you can't train a diplomat. We take the students who have the qualifications and give them background to help them suc ceed in their career." Some 60 students, including 20 from foreign countries, are tak ing courses this year leading to a master's degree or the doctor ate under a faculty of 10 teach ers and 11 researchers. A new faculty member is Dr. Marek S. Korowicz, former Pol ish delegate to the United Na tions, who made a dramatic break with his Communist-dominated country in New York last year. A former law professor at Poland s oldest university in Krakow, Dr. Korowicz teaches international law and organiza tion. Many foreign governments send their diplomatic personnel to Fletcher for training. Twenty four Pakistani foreign service officers have attended Fletcher since 19o0, including six cur rently enrolled. Indonesia, India, Korea and Thailand also have students at the school. Among the high- ranking Fletcher graduates are: Boris Klosson, deputy chief of research on Russia for the U. S. state de partment; Harlan Clark, state department authority on the Middle East; Edward Jamison, deputy director of U. S. inter American affairs; Jean Francois Poincet, secretary to the French high commissioner in Germany. Fletcher, which is administer ed by Tufts College with the co operation of Harvard, also does important research work. Its staff advises the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations and many other groups on interna tional policy. It is beginning a three-year study of the social democratic movement in Japan under a Ford Foundation grant. Although Fletcher trained some eastern European students before World War II, Dean Stew art said that so far as he knows "none are now serving Red-controlled foreign ministries." YOUR POSTAL s i r r i i v-LLfxlA G. J' AYS SCIENCE AT WORK New York (U.R) Make no mistake about this the medi cal doctor can remove a wart, or warts. But you wouldn't think so, if you realized how many persons think he can't but that proper application of chick peas, string beans or a bloody rag can. The anonymous medical authors of the Pfizer Spectrum, a strictly scientfic leaflet cir culated periodically among phy sicians, were complaining about the perversity of human nature which, from the remotest known time, has surrounded the wart with superstition. "As 19 centuries of gratifying experience have shown, any number of proper techniques can remove a wart, the authors wrote. "The way to remove warts, if one is a dermatologist, is to cauterize with nitric acid or employ roentgen rays: if a sur geon, depending on the site of the wart, cauterization or exci sion. "The only difficulty remaining is that one's own patient per versely goes out and picks up the chick peas, bloody rag, string beans or whatever has been used by somebody else and here he is, back again, with a new crop of warts." The chick pea remedy goes all the way back to Pliny the Elder, who lived from 23 to 79 A.D. Pliny said: "You are to touch the warts with chick peas oti the first day of the moon, wrap the peas in cloth and throw them away behind you." Sir Francis Bacon, according to the medical authors, rubbed his warts with a piece of bacon "all over with the fat side," and then nailed the fat to a post facjng the sun. This "cured" warts in five weeks.

Mr. and Mrs. Howard Miller returned recently from a trip to San Francisco where they visit ed relatives and friends. Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Petrie and son Bob have returned from California where they spent Thanksgiving holidays with rel atives and friends. Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Shaw were called to Kansas City re cently by the death of Mrs. Shaw's mother. and the times following, were to "rub a wart with an impaled frog, with black snail shells, with a dead man's, hand, or, according to Bacon, with "parts of living creatures that are nearest to the nature of excrescences," to wit: the combs of spurs of cocks, the horns of beasts, or corns or wens. Or a wart could be bled on a rag and the rag thrown away and some idiot picked it up and got the wart himself. "In Ireland you pricked the wart with a gooseberry thorn through a golden wedding ring, or wound a hair around it until it disappeared. By 1820, in Pennsylvania, they were back to rubbing things on and throwing things away. Now it was chicken's feet, roasted, that were afterwards to be buried under the eaves. "In England the tail of a tortoise-shell tomcat was to be ap plied (only in May). In Sussex pins were stuck into a mountain ash tree, and evidently stijl are to this day. In New England warts should be rubbed either with a toad or with string beans that are later thrown over a fence. In the Middle West, the preferred treatment is with an old, damp dishcloth, immediate ly buried in the ground.
