Berlin Orchestra
Boycott Urged
New York (U.P.) The Jewish
Labor Committee and the New
York City CIO Council today
denounced the appearance of
the Berlin Philharmonic Orches
tra in this country and urged
a boycott of its performances.
The orchestra arrived here
last week for a three-week tour
of the United States and Canada.
Both the conductor, Herbert
Von Karajan, and the manager,
Gerhart Von Westerman, have
admitted, being former Nazi
party members. But they said
they joined to be allowed to con
tinue their musical work.
The two labor groups asked
the West German government
to show its "announced fidelity
to democracy by immediately re
calling Von Karajan and other
members of the Berlin Philhar
monic Orchestra who have been
affiliated with the Nazis."
The organizations called on
"those whose consciences revolt
against attendance at a concert
under the baton of such a man
should exercise their principles
by remaining away."

The word "love", in a film
title is bad for the box office.
Such is the claim of theater
owners. Come to think of it,
Greta Garbo and John Gilbert
were once co-starred in a film
entitled "Love." It was not a
box office sensation. The all time
box office champion among films
is "The Birth of a Nation." Sec
ond is "Gone With The Wind."
If you can think of a box office
smash with the word "love" in
the title, you have a better mem
mory than I have. Incidentally,
no film with the word "love"
in the title has ever won the mo
tion picture Acedemy award.
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. Has
there ever been a native of Tex
as who has been outstanding as
a composer of popular music? A.
Gene Austin, who wrote and
popularized many songs, was
born in Gainesville, Tex. Scott
Joplin, composer of "The Maple
Leaf Rag," was a native of Tex
arkana, Tex.- Gene Austry. com
poser of "That S.lver Haired
Daddy of Mine," was born in Ti
oga, Tex.
Sidelights
An extremely effective way
for a woman to decrease her
waist line and do away with
spreading hips is to take up
bowling. That sport can really
streamline a plump feminine fig
ure . . . There are over 50,000,
000 mothers in this country, so
Mother's day is second only to
Christmas in gift buying.
Amono Tha Married
What is the preferred type of
husband material? Investigation
indicates while most women
have a "dream man" resemb
ling Gregory Peck or Gilbert
Roland, they do not care ior
that type as a husband. Prefer
red is a kindly, considerate man
between 38 and 43, who is fi
nancially well fixed. Appear
ance and talent as a lover is of
secondary importance. In mar
riage most women want peace,
appreciation, absence of worry
in the present, and future fi
nancial security. Only one wo
man in 2,000 marries her "dream
man." Not that many couldn't
but they don't consider it a
smart idea.
Asides
An addition to the field of
"how to" literature that many
people might find interesting is
the book by Norman Ford titled
"How To Get A Job That Takes
You Traveling." . . . The most
important players on a baseball
club are, in the order named,
catcher, pitcher, shortstop and
second baseman.
Horses and Women
Am asked what were the mea
surements of Lillian Russell? All
I know is that in her heyday as
a beauty she weighed 160. At
that time she featured the so
called "hour glass figure." No
mean feat for a 160 pound wo
man. According to the fashion
experts, to comfortably feature
the "hour glass figure," a wo
man should have the following
measurements: weight, 112 to
118; bust, 36; waist 21, and hips,
34.
Success
A jurprising number of mil
lionaires went broke several
times before they hit the jack
pot. As for example, William
Wrigtey Jr., who went broke
four times before he achieved his
financial success as a chewing
gum manufacturer. One time he
went broke trying to sell umbrellas.

Or. Brady
LA MONROE GETS VOTES
Tokyo U.R) Several Japan
ese voters in Sunday's national
election apparently wanted to
throw curves at the government.
They wrote in the name of Mari
lyn Monroe on ballots for the
House of Representatives.
One-third of
poisonings of
five years of age in the United
biates are due to drugs. The
commonest drugs that poison
children are salicylates, mostly
aspirin.
Aspirin, I said, stepid, and
aspirin is aspirin, no matter who
makes it or how attractive it
may be to children.
We seem to be a nation of
aspirin eaters, and there are fpw
households in which a suddIv
of this drug in one form or an
other cannot be found, com
mented the journal of the Amer
ican Medical Association editor
ially. .
One form of aspirin favored
guuuoie customers is a
powder that is virtually taste
less and soluble in water or fruit
juice. Another is so-called "baby
d&pirm laoiets," pmk and sweet
to the child these are "candy."
When Americans find straight
aspirin no longer sufficiently
benumbs sensation of ache, pain
or discomfort they may still put
off consulting a physician and
try one or another of the vari
ous headache, neuralgia, neu
ritis, artnritis nostrums com
posed of aspirin and acetanilid
or phenacetin. These coaltar
anilin derivatives have caused
many deaths, but the cause of
death in most instances is care
fully concealed.
Another drug which has killed
many children who found it
about the house and swallowed
the pills or tablets as "candy"
is strychnine. Pink or red sugar
coated tablets or chocolate
coated pills of straight strych
nine sulfate or that crude nine
teenth century combination,
aloin, belladonna and strych
nine. In some such instances the
poison pills were prescribed or
dispensed by physicians, in
ethers the pills were purchased
by some member of the family
who felt competent to doctor
himself. It makes no difference
to the child who finds a few of
the pills which have been left
perhaps long after they were
placed in the cupboard or on the
shelf.
Acetanilid poisoning is char
acterized by fall in body tem
perature, collapse, rapid feeble
pulse, cold clammy skin, drowsi
ness, ringing in the ears, widen
ing or dilation of the pupils.
(Cyanosis, or dusky bluish ap
pearance of skin and lips, occurs
in chronic acetanilide poison
ing, from habitual use of the
drug.)
Strychnine poisoning is char
acterized by jerking or twitch
ing of muscles of neck, body and
limbs and within half an hour,
more or less, severe convulsions,
alJ out of a clear sky. Such con
vulsions might conceivably spell
tetanus (lockjaw), but even te
tanus doesn't convulse a child
who was perfectly well and
happy an hour ago.
If there is a young child in
your family, for heaven's sake
make sure none of these or
other poisons are left about the
house where the child can pos
sibly find them.

Biological Wonderland
Wolf Lake, 111. (U.R) The
Pine Lake swamp near here is
a biological wonderland that in
cludes among its oddities fish
which are one to three inches
long when mature.
A study of the swamp's fish
population has been made by
William M. Lewis, assistant pro
fessor of zoology at Southern
Illinois Univers'iy, and his as
sistant, Gerald Gunning.
One of the rare species is the
spring cave-fish which reaches
maturity at three inches and
spends much of its time in sub
terranean passages from which
spring water flows into the
swamp.
Also found were pigmy sun
fish one inch long at maturity
and a "small sunfish" that grows
to three inches.

The Locust Grove ...
It was in the bright spring
of 1855 that George Waunch,
a German-born gunsmith and
ten years a pioneer of the Skoo-kumchuch-Chehalis
country, met
Fraulein Mary Hagar in Port
land. She was soon on her way
up the Cowlitz and over the
timber trail to an opening on
the bank of the Skookumchuck
where Waunch had a 320-acre
claim and a mud-chinked cabin.
The river half-circled the cab
in on one side, a dense forest
of tall old Dauglas firs and red
cedars fenced the prairies on
the other. Mary dreamed of
flowers in the spring, to
brighten the dark cast of forest
and stream. She had loved the
locust blossoms about her old
home in Missouri and had
brought a packet of the seeds
west with her. Now she planted
them, putting a tiny tepee over
each planting, to protect it from
grazing cattle.
The seedlings were up and
budding when Mary's first child
was born. They thrived until
the terrible winter of 1860-1861,
when the long freeze killed all
of the little grove but one locust
tree. But by this time there
were neighbors on the Skookum
chuck. High-School History ...
The Waunch story of West
Coast pioneering lives on today
because of a project that Miss
Herndon Smith, Centralia high
school teacher, started in 1937,
when she began to realize the
value of local historical mate
rials for English study. Her stu
dents enthusiastically went ot
work on the teacher's program,
interviewing the descendants of
pioneer families.
Moldering trunks and boxes
were opened. County records
were studied. And stories came
forth. Miss Smith put them into
shape for book publication, with
due credit to each cooperating
student.
This rare and inspiring ac
complishment is now nearly
stumped on an "out of print"
situation. Only 60 copies were
left when I visited Centralia
a spell . back. Centralia ana
Chehalis are together in the
midst of a self-study program,
with the University of Wash
ington's Bureau of Community
Develonment as adviser. An
able history committee is part
of the project. It will surely
find a way to keep Herndon
Smith's unique work of local
history in print.
For "Centralia: the First Fifty
Years," basically a work of
teen-age students in our public
schools, is a pattern for research
and publication on local history
thatjshould be applied to all of
the older West Coast commu
nities. Lady Logger ...
Ed Waunch, fourth-born of
Mary and George Waunch, has
become the Paul -Bunyan of
Lewis County pioneer stories.
"He was a great horseman,"
the Smith history tells. "He
cculd put one hand on a horse's
neck and jump over the animal
But it was Amelia, the eldest
Waunch daughter, who is best
remembered by old-time Lewis
County loggers. She married
A d o 1 p h Mauermann, another
German-born gunsmith; they
took up a claim on the Skoo
kumchuck and began to clear
land. The book relates:
"Many was the day she
(Amelia) spent on a springboard
ten feet above the ground felling
trees with a crosscut saw. For
the only ready money then
available she sawed cordwood
to furnish fuel for the new rail
road. 'Millie could take a cross
cut saw and cut off a slice of
log as quick as any man,' ad
miringly boasts her brother,
Frank ... At 85 she is still
living, as active as the average
woman of 60."
And it tells that the lone
locust tree from Mary's plant
ing to survive the deathly win
ter of 1860-61 sent up fresh
shoots. The second grove flour
ished, "And the children of
George and Mary Waunch mar
ried and grandchildren and
great-grandchildren came to
gather round them under a
white fringe of locust blossoms."

foot sloggers here against a sim

Lasting Impressions
In case you've forgotten, here

Noise: Nothing makes so much

feet, Scrub oak: Your feet stick
to it. Signs: "If you go beyond
this point, you'll get shot sure
as hell."
Col. Hamilton A: Twitchell,
commander of the regiment,
said that nowadays the infan
try at war might very well find
its forward units having to stress
independent action, since atomic
and electronic weapons of the
enemy might destroy and jam
our communications.
