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."

New Security Clamp
On Military Secrets
Washington (U.R) Military
men are expecting a new clamp
down on release of defense in
formation to halt leaks of mili
tary secrets, particularly regard
ing new weapons.
Secretary of Defense Charles
E. Wilson said Monday that
secret military documents have-
been falling into the hands of
"unauthorized persons" for sev
eral months. -He appointed a spe
cial committee to investigate
and advise him how to plug
the leaks.
Wolcott, N.Y. (U.R) It's okay
for children to use their fingers
to count, says Dr. Vincent
Glenon of Syracuse University.
"Those who do need the crutch
of counting on their fingers will
more than likely give it up as
soon as they feel secure enough
to do so," he said. "If they are
prohibited from doing this,
they'll go underground and
count on their fingers anyway."
Aluminum ore is called baux
ite, named for the French vil
lage of Les Baux where it was
first identified.

Artist and Dentist . 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. Gar
lington, asistant manager of the
Salem Chamber of Commerce,
has resigned.
The National War College at
Fort Lesley J. McNair in Wash
ington, DC, is now in its ninth
