matic heart, is a prime target
of the Oregon Heart association,
which is supporting an intensive
campaign of research and educa
tion throughout Oregon.
Henry Andreae, chairman of
the current Heart Fund cam
paign, gave statistics - showing
that rheumatic fever is a lead
ing cause of disability and death
in childhood and produces heart
damage among children, adoles-
Elmer Deetz Fails
To Reject Senate
Dairy Amendments
Salem (U.R) Rep. Elmer
Deetz (R-Canby) has failed in a
move to reject . Senate amend
ments to a bill relieving family
dairies from the regulations of
the State Department of Agri
culture. The Canby dairyman who has
become widely known for his
battle against state milk market
ing controls had previously
voted in favor of the bill affect
ing one-cow . or three-goat
dairies. But he took the floor of
the chamber in an attempt to
turn down Senate amendments
that spelled out sanitary and
health regulations the family
dairies still would have to ob
serve. Move to Kill Small Dairies
Deetz said the bill would mean
that if he had two cows on his
farm and his son had one cow
on the same farm, his son would
not be able to sell milk to at-the-farm
customers. The bill was
part of a move, Deetz said, to
kill small farm dairies. He class
ed it with what he called the
"monopolistic" bill to eliminate
all but grade A milk from the
Oregon market.
Rep. Joe Rogers (D-Independ-ence),
another dairyman, took
issue with Deetz and said "peo
ple should not come to the Leg
islature to feather their own
nests."
Deetz' motion to reject the
Senate amendments was defeat
ed, 3 to 26 with one excused.

was in critical condition today
with injuries suffered in an auto
mobile accident. -:.
Major Gen. Robert L. Fred

cents and young . adults. He also
pointed out that it is respon
sible for heart disease and death
even in later life.
Now Preventable
"But -thanks to research ad
vances by medical science, rheu
matic fever has taken its place
among preventable diseases,"
Andreae said, adding that "the
Oregon . Heart association has
given considerable financial sup
port to research studies on this
subject."- -
He revealed that at the pres
ent time the Oregon association
is supporting research projects
totaling nearly $7,500 at the Uni
versity of Oregon medical school
and Reed college and Bend, Ore.
A bulletin from the Oregon
Heart association states that
"knowing when to call your doc
tor and what to tell him about
your child s sore throat may
save your youngster from at
tacks of rheumatic fever, the
disease which causes more heart
damage and long-term crippling
illness in young people than, any
other." j w
Preceded by Infection
The bulletin explains that "a
rheumatic fever attack is almost
invariably preceded by a'strep
toccocal infection, most com
monly a 'strep' sore throat,, and
suggests seven key questions, for
parents to aid them in obtaining
prompt medical attention for
suspected "strep" infections.'
1. Did the sore throat come
on suddenly
2. Does your youngster com
plain his throat hurts most when
he swallows?
3. Does it hurt below the an
gle of the jaw when you press
there gently with your fingers?
Are the glands swollen there?
4. Does he have a fever? How
much? (Usually a 'strep' infec
tion brings on a fever between
101 and 104 degrees.) .
5. Does your child complain
of a headache?
6. Is he nauseated? Has he
vomited?
7. Has he been in contact with
anyone who has had scarlet fe
ver (also a streptococcal infec
tion) or a sore throat?
The Heart association bulletin
notes that rheumatic fever, un
like other childhood diseases, is
a "repeater," with each new at
tack greatly increasing the dan
ger of heart damage.
Protection Given
"Fortunately,"- the bulletin
states, "medical science now has
drugs like penicillin which, if
administered regularly to per
sons with rheumatic fever . his
tories, : can prevent streptococ
cal infections and give real pro
tection against -these repeat attacks."-
, - - V- o
Research studies being; spon
sored by the Oregon Heart asso
ciation are aimed at rheumatic
fever control and s prevention.
One study, in particular, is being
conducted at the University of
Oregon medical school to deter
mine' when to allow children
with rheumatic fever to begin
convalescence. -

700,000,000 pounds of cocoa

Around Hollywood
By ALINE MOSBY
United Press Correspondent
Aline Mosby
Hollywood (U.R) Older
movie : kings and queens are
glamorous and live in Holly
wood, but to
day's young
film actors
wear leather
jackets and live
in New York.
Marlon Bran
do and Mont
gomery Clift
launched the
New York com
muters' club of
of film actors, followed by Julie
Harris and newcomer - James
Dean. Now another female, Jo
anne Woodward, has joined the
ranks.
Joanne, a stage actress who
scored in "Picnic," was signed
by 20th Century-Fox studio and
has been loaned to Columbia for
her first movie, a co-starring role
with Van Heflin. But when the
cameras stop grinding on "Cal
ico Pony" she'll hurry back to
New York. r
"I love New York and hate it
here," declared the pretty
blonde. "I'm just used to New
York. I eventually want to work
on the stage, anyway. It's much
more fun than making movies.
Oh, I'd like to be a movie star
but only because that's the best
way to get ahead on the stage!"
Hollywood 'Impressed'
Joanne reflected that Holly
woodites are "impressed" by ac
tors who scorn the palm trees
and sunshine to live in New
York near the theater.
"It's funny how people out
here are about New York
actors," she said. "They seem to
feel they're something great,
whether they really are or not."
.; For her first film, Joanne "de
glamourized" herself in a realis
tic fashion that would pale the
Hollywood cuties. To portray a
backwoods girl, Joanne chopped
off her hair in jagged hunks. She
wears baggy trousers, a man's
oversized shirt and ancient shoes.
Her face is bare of make-up.
She looks to me like a double
for Tommy Rettig, the country
boy on the "Lassie" TV show.
'All I need is a dog," agreed
Joanne.
Full Treatment
"But at the end of the picture
they glamourize me with make
up, curls and bosom pads." Fol
lowing the current trend of new
screen beauties, Joanne is a size
32. Off-stage , Joanne does not
wear baggy pants, but does dress
casually.
Since his engagement, Brando
wears charcoal gray suits, but-

ton-down shirts and homburg
hats. But newcomer Dean took
over where Brando left off.
When working in Hollywood,
Dean whips around on a motor
cycle and wears a leather jacket
and dark blue shirt, even to
parties and nightclubs.
"I saw Jimmy in New York
wearing a long black coat with
white buttons. He must have
picked it out of an ashcan,"
beamed Joanne.
Walk-Up Apartment
"We all go in the same
group," she explained. "I have
a wonderful apartment. You
walk up five flights. We sit
on the floor and never serve
liquor : because we're broke."
-- - Joanne was born in Green
ville, S.C., but her parents later
moved to Glen Rock, N. J. Her
father is a publishing house ex
ecutive. "I was signed for movies
after doing a TV play. I turned
down three Fox scripts before
getting this one," she said casually.

Further Probe Asked
In Housing Scandal
Washington - flJ.R) -'Sen.
Harry F. Byrd declares the
government housing scandal is
"even greater than the Teapot
lJome bcandal" of the Harding
administration.
The Virginia Democrat urged
Democrats on the. Senate Bank
ing Committee to continue the
housing investigation started by
the Republican-controlled 83rd
Congress. He said the Republi

WHERE'D YOU GET THAT HAT?
If you're like 9 out of 10 Americans, the
answer's easy.
You saw or heard it advertised. You
compared the advertised value. You
shopped and you bought, just as you
select the hundreds of brands of items
you use every year.
For in a free economy where people
compete for your business, advertising'
multiplies your freedom of choice by;
keeping you abreast of the best buys.
In so doing, advertising benefits you,
advertising benefits everyone !
