SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednoday. August 15, 1958 Horse Raiser Says Real Horses Betier For Ihe Youngsters New York (UP) Hobby horses are all right for the youngsters. But real horses are better. So says Bcrnie Mann, a resort and restaurant owner of Port Washington, L.I., who has al ways found time to raise horses. Mann realizes that most of us eant keep horses around the house for the kiddies, so he sug gests that we introduce Junior to the local horse-riding acad emy. He feels that youngsters will get a big thrill out of work ing with the horses and riding them. Mann adds that Olympic champion Billy Steinkraus never rode his own horse until he was an adult. Billy learned how by renting horses. Mann, now 41, grew up on a family farm in Flushing, L.I., back in the days when there was enough room for farms. When he was seven, his dad bought him a little brown colt. Fin as Hobby Later on, as an adult, Bernie Mann became an orchestra lead er, but he continued with his hobby of horses. And after servr ing in the army, he bought a retired army jumper that he named "Music Master." In 1948. after Mann and his brothers opened the "Riviera," they bought another horse and called it "Riviera Man." In 1953, the horse won several champion ships and awards. But the current pride of the Mann farm at Brookville, L.I., is "Riviera Wonder," which was bought two years ago from the former Mrs. Jock Whitney. "Riviera Wonder" won national championships last year and Mann has since acquired three of the horse's brothers. Mann's wife and three sons help train the horses at the farm. Mann said, "It's wonder ful for the children. They learn sportsmanship. They gain confi dence. They come in contact with a nice group of people. And they are kept out in the fresh air. You can't beat it when it comes to a hobby." s'C $ tpf nn'-i irii,n-,M,i nit.rf ir-rrM-if" rr hiiwi wi w ii .8 MARINES WITH ANOTHER FIRST Combat-equipped Marines alight from an HPS helicopter on the deck of the troop-carrying submarine USS Sea Lion during exer cises off the North Carolina coast.

Wolcott, N.Y. (U.R) It's okay for children to use their fingers to count, says Dr. Vincent Glenon of Syracuse University.

I i Provide New Ear for Widower Vith Bride Seattle. Wash. (U.R) Thanks to an artist, a dentist and a fifty-year-old piece of Italian model ing clay, a self-conscious widow er has a new ear and a bride. It's all in a day's work for Miss Jessie Phillips, director of the Medical Illustration Depart ment at the University of Wash ington's School of Medicine, and Dr. Oscar Beder of the Den tistry School. They make false noses and ears for people who've lost them through disease, acci dent or surgery. The two cre ate about six ears and noses a year. "We don't guarantee new love lives for our customers," Miss Phillips said, "but we do give people with facial deformities a chance at a normal life." Plastic Surgery Helps Most of the artist - dentist team's patients are older people who have had tissue removed because of cancer. Younger pa- tients usually can be helped by j plastic surgery. j To build a nose. Dr. Beder casts mold of the patient's face with a soft sponge rubber sub stance. Artificial stone, a form : of plastic, is poured in the mold, j and Miss Phillips has a model ; on which she can construct a nose. The same process is followed for replacing a missing ear ex cept that a patient's remaining ear may serve as a model. Miss Phillips uses a special type of modeling clay brought to this country from Italy in 1900. She claims she can match texture and detail best with this type of clay. The artist doesn't try to make a "beauty" nose she strives far realism. She considers the shape of the head, jaw line, the pa tient's age, and the location of the eyes. Skin color and texture are other factors. Realism Added When she's satisfied the nose will fit the face, Dr. Beder casts the final product in carefully color-matched latex-like mate- j rial. Miss Phillips adds realism by painting blood vessels and lines on the finished ear or nose. "Color is a tough problem be cause paint wears off or the j patients gets a sun tan," Miss Phillips said. ; Surgical tape is used to fasten j the artificial nose to the pa tient's face. A special face cream masks the thin edges of the tape. "We'll get a true test of our skill," Miss Phillips said, "when we find out how long it takes the widower's bride to discover her husband has a false ear." Salem (U.R) Edwin T.
