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."

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. Jim Whipple
and Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Smith
made a trip to Fortuna, Calif.,
last week end to visit Mr. and
Mrs. Wm. Baker and family.
Mrs. Baker is the Smiths' daugh
ter. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Milton and
daughters of Wolf Creek were
visiting in Rogue River Sunday
and to attend a birthday dinner
given by Mrs. Lois Morgan for
Les Weigart. Present were the
Miltons, Mr. and Mrs. Les Weig
art and daughter Janet and son
Brian, Hurst Morgan and the
hcsiezS; Mrs. Morgan.

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.
