Health Officer Reports on
Annua! Conference of APHA
Public health problems result
ing from an increasing percent
age of old people in the popula
tion of the United States were
discussed at the annual Ameri
can Public Health association
meeting in Kansas City, Mo., Dr.
A. Erin Merkel, county health
officer, said yesterday.
Dr. Merkel returned Friday
from a veek of association meet
ings in Kansas City. Polio au
thorities', who gave reports at the
meeting, emphasized that the
Salk vaccine is now perfectly
safe and 90 per cent effective
against paralytic polio, Merkel
said.
Priority Group
All parents with children un
der 15 years old should have
them inoculated against polio,
Merkel said, as children of that
age are now included in the pri
ority group for which the vac
cine is available.
It was pointed out at the
meeting that an increase in dis
eases more commonly found
among old people, such as heart
trouble, hardening of the arter
ies, cancer, and mental disturb
ances, could be expected as the
number of people in the older
age groups increased.
An increase in the percentage
of old people in the population
is expected as a result of in
creased life expectancy and an
anticipated reduction in birth :
rate.
Severe Problems
A severe problem of rehabili
tation of the aged was discussed j
at the meetings. As old people
find they can no longer continue
with their work, because of sick
ness or mental problems, it will
be necessary to find other occu
pations for them, Merkel said.
The increasing problems of ac
cidents was also discussed at the
meetings. Accidents, at present,
are the greatest cause of death
for people between the ages of
1 and 45, Merkel said.
On The Side By E. V. Durling
(Distributed by King FmMiw Syndicate. Inc.)
How old is Satchel Paige, the
picturesque pitcher? Nobody
seems to know exactly. Howev
er, one thing Is certain, Satchel
was a winning major league
twirler when he was crowding
50. Therefore, a couple of his
helpful hints on achieving a vig
orous old age might be interest
ing. Observed Satchel: "Avoid
fried meats which angry up the
blood." "If your stomach dis
putes you, lie down, pacify it
with cool thoughts."
Please Note
Am asked about the drug that
is said to eliminate the worry
about a trip to the dentist. It is
much used in England. This drug
is also reported to eliminate the
worry of stage performers on
first nights, men scheduled to
make speeches and to give con
fidence to fellows who are go
ing to ask the boss for a raise. It
is said to be harmless and non
habit forming. However, some of
its critics say it inspires autoists
who take it with an over-confidence
that leads to reckless
driving.
Horses and Women
That "Horse-Tail Hairdo," the
weirdest hairdo of all time up to
now, has been topped by a curi
ous hair arrangement called
"The Circus Pony Topknot."
There seems to be no limit to
what some females will do to at
tract attention. However, as any
expet on the subject of style
will fell you. anything that
makes a woman conspicuous is
in b.'id tasle.
Sidelights
The best looking females in
Ireland are the girls of Dublin.
So I note it claimed. The man
knows not whereof he speaks.
The best looking Irish girls are
those beautiful Galway bru
nettes. . . . The men who suffer
most from coronary thrombosis
are business executives and bar
tenders: So recent research indi
cates. This brings to mind that
bartenders are not generally
considered preferred life insur
ance risks.
Passing By-
Doris Fleischman Bernays.
Completely charming and ex
tremely clever career woman.
! Doris has just written a book
titled "A Wife Is Many Worn
j en." It is said by reading this
book a man may be able to un
derstand a little about his wife.
That could be valuable knowl
edge. I am having our horses and
women experts check on Mrs.
Bernays' book immediately.
Asking
Queries from clients: Q. Who
wrote the song titled, "There Is
No One With Endurance Like
the the Man Who Sells Insur
ance"? A. Frank Crumit . . .
Q. Is there a restaurant in New
York where a man can get prop
erly prepared tamales and en
chiladas? A. When it comes to
restaurants, sir, New York has
everything. The Xochitl restau
rant on West .46th st. specializes
in the dishes you mention. Also,
if you like Mexican drinks, they
will serve you with that power
ful potion called "Tequila Mucho
Gusto."
Get It Right j
No woman with a waist meas-1
urement of over 25 has a chance
of winning a bathing beauty con
test. That's what I said. This
rash remark has cost me many a
stogie. Bebe Shopp, Miss Amer
ica of 1948, had a 27-inch waist
and weighed 140. Fay Lamphier,
Miss America of 1925, had a 26
waist and weighed 138. Mary
Campbell, Miss America of 1922,
had a 26 waist and weighed 140.
And she was only 16 years old.
Asides
Persons having an incurable
case of wanderlust might find
very interesting the book by
Norman Ford titled "How to Get
a Job That Takes You Traveling"
. . . According to the most recent
check of our Horses & Women
department, the three most beau
tiful spinsters in the world are:
1 Yvonne De Carlo. 2 Anita
Colby. 3 Virginia Grey.
Bogota, Columbia (U.R)
Hundreds of families were re
ported homeless today in Bogota
and two other areas of Colombia
because of floods brought on by
heavy rains. Families were ev
acuated from low-lying districts
of Bogota and 14 towns along
the Magdalena river, Coloum
bia's main waterway.
