TH 5lRlS ON 8tK8NK SIT Few Practicing Physicians Said Capable of Diagnosing Smallpox BY DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York f Medical sci ence is becomiiig uncomfortab ly aware of an ominous and pos sibly dangerous situation. Few physicians practicing today have never seen a case of smallpox, and even tliat small number is constantly riiminishuig. That is reassuring proof of one of the great triumphs of medical science, of course. Smallpox, the virulent, highly contagious killer, has all but dis appeared from the United States. But it hasn't entirely disap peared and that is what makes an ominous situation. Would the average physician recogjiize a case of smallpox shoud he encounter one? Would the possibility that it was a case of smallpox leap instantly into his mind? There have been a few scattered instances over re cent years when the diagnosis was fumbled and delayed. May Miss Diagnosis This indicates that the aver- On The Side By e. v. During (Distributed by King Features Syndicate. Inc.) Are you a sufferer from that hishly irritating affliction called 'hay fever"? Where do you go to seek relief during the hay fever season? The Hay Fever Prevention Society of New York City publishes a pamphlet which lists a number of rag weed free areas where relief from the ailment can be ob tained. It also published a pam phlet titled "Hay Fever Relief llints." And another dealing with a ' Honey and Lemon Hay Fever Diet " Incidentally, there are over 400.000 sufferers from hay fever living in New York City. Horse and Women As you probably know, the line at the top of an advertise ment designed to attract a read er's attention is called an "eye catcher." As for example, a line reading, "She Discovered The O DIES Bandleader Jimmy Dorsey died at Doctors Hos pital in New York five months after surgery for tht removal of a growth on h lung. He is shown here 3 a photo mads Nov. 26, 3856 when ht attended the funeral of hi brother, Tom 3B Dorsey. CLUB NEWS Bot Dairy Club The Ruch 4-li Dairy club met it Romelle and Garry Kossen 10. The meeting was call fj to order by the president. Ro mlle Fossen. They talked about decorating and cleaning at the Medford fairgrounds, and dis cussed record books. Before the meeting everyone practiced working with the dairy cows. Nancy Huckaba of Central Point was a guest. Re freshments were served. The next meeting will be July 2 at Lena Buffington's. POET-AUTHOR DIES Uttwil, Switzerland 'V Paul Ug. 82. Swiss poet and author, died Sunday. SAWDUST Phone SP 3-6297 McGiniy Fuel Co. Three Telltale Places Where Age Shows First." That is really a potent eyecatcher for feminine readers. What do you say are the three telltale places where a woman's age shows first? I be lieve the neck and hands are two but have no selection for the third. Cards "According to Hoyle" is an ex pression still much used by card players in discussing rules of the games. Hoyle, who died in 1769, wrote about only three card games: piquet, whist and quadrille. The book titled "The Complete Cardplayer" by Al bert Ostrow deals with over 350 different card games. It is said there are about 85 million card players in this country. My fa vorite card game is auction pi nochle. Longerity Eugene Christian, author of "How To Live To Be A Hundred Years Old" died at the age of 69. Eugene Brewer, the inventor of the lawnmower, lived to be over a hundred years old. He attrib uted his longevity to the exer cise he had mowing lawns. Show this to your husband, lady, when he starts to complain about hav ing to mow the lawn. Sidelights New Yorker informs me he became a father for the first time at the age of 54. That is un usual but not the record. The distinguished author Dale Car negie became a father for the first time at the age of 64. . . The old maid character continues to be popular on television pro grams. This is because humor concerning old maids gives mar ried women a feeling of super iority. Fish . Reference to the Biblical tale of Jonah and the whale frequent ly inspires an argument as to whether any fish can swallow a man. A white shark can. In fact, a white shark can swallow a horse or a bullock. A sperm whale can also swallow a man. It has been claimed that a sperm whale actually did swallow an English sailor named James Bartley, who was subsequently rescued and lived to tell the tale. Greatest Hitter What ballplayer rates being i styled "the greatest hitter of all ! time"? You say "Babe" Ruth. I don't agree. In my rating the "Babe" is third. Ty Cobb is first. Hans Wagner second. Speaking ! of Ruth as a hitter his average j in batting against his nemesis I "Hub' Prui'.t was .186. That's . really weak hitting. A pitcher would be ashamed of that av erage. In one season the "Babe" batted against Pruitt 18 times and struck out 16 times! Complaint Women are stll complaining that while married and single women can be distinguished by the vse of "Miss" or "Mrs." there is no similar method of distinc tion for the male sex. I have no solution for this problem. Per haps a man should be called "Master" until he is married and 'Mr." alter he has become somebody's husband. However, how about those married career women who continue to use the "Miss"? Just what is the idea of that? Then take the females who do use the 'Mrs." How can you tell whether a "Mrs." is married, is a widow, or is a divorcee? age physician might well miss the diagnosis long enough for a community to be endangered. Once present, smallpox can spread rapidly; and there are thousands who think they are immune because they were vac cinated as children, but who are not immune. Their vaccinations have worn off. Drs. Kenneth D. Rogers and Arthur M. Harmuth of the School of Public Health, University of Pittsburgh, are alerting the aver age practicing physician to this situation through the technical journal of the American Acad emy of General Practices. They cited the following example: A 14-year-old girl came down with pox. Two days later a physician was called in and said it was chicUenpox. The child's condition grew pro jr essively worse, and five days later she was taken to a communicable dis ease hospital. The diagnosis still was chickenpox. But it wasn't chickenpox which either looked or behaved in the usual way of chickenpox. A number of doctors were called in. They all thought it was chick enpox. Y'et not one of them could say positively that it wasn't smallpox. Child Dies The child died during her sec ond hospital day. An autopsy proved that she was a victim of an unusual and complicated case of chickenpox. If it had been smallpox, she would have been a source of readily transmittable germs for nine days. But that is not all of the story. The instant smallpox was sus pected all employees and pat ients in the hospital were vac cinated 40 in all. Four young children among them had never been vaccinated before. The re maining 36 had been, and sup posedly were immune. But vac innation reactions showed that actually only two were. The doctors urged their col leagues everywhere to keep text books available which describe minutely the appearance of small pox; to impose strict quarantine on any suspected case; to get a precise diagnosis with all pos sible speed: and to notify publio health authorities instantly so they can organize to vaccinate all persons with whom the sus pected case had been in contact.

Television Now Employs Young Girl, Who Has Own Network Show By WILLIAM EWALD United Press Correspondent New York TP Well, it's fi nally come down to this. TV is not only aiming its wares at the 12-year-old mind, it s now em ploying the 12-year-old mind. Prime exhibit is Susan Hein kel, who at the mellow age of 12, stars in her own network TV siiow each Saturday which is more than you can say for Sid Caesar or Jackie Gleason. Not only that, Susie ad libs her entire show, which is also more than you can say for Sid Caesar or Jackie Gleason. Susie, brown-eyed, poised and bonnie, actually steers six TV shows each week. Five of them are Monday through Friday local shots in Chicago. The sixth, launched by CBS-TV about two months ago. is a half-hour affair geared for the yo-yo set. Shows Are Fun "None of the shows are really any work at all. They're fun. We have a ball at the studio because everyone is a little off Ms rock- Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY - Hollywood W What hap pens to the tearful, happy sub jects of "This Is Your Life?" To singer Mae Williams, re- covering from a broken back ! and a bout j with polio, ap pearing on tne sudsy show Feb. 9, 1955. seemed a stroke of good fortune. Mas ter - of cere monies Ralph Aline Mosby Edwards happily announced that a New York night club job, a TV series, a beautiful bracelet these were to be hers. But since then what has hap pened to Mae would make an other weepy "This Is Y'our Life" program. She was hit by the prize show "Jinx" not a super stition, but a disrupting of her normal life that often hits ex cited winners of fame and for tune on television. Her "prize" of a singing job at Monte Proser's La Vie club in New Y'ork never came about. La Vie Closed "Ralph Edwards did his part, but my manager and I couldn't agree," explained Mae. "I be lieve he asked too much money, and we never got together on a deal and then La Vie closed, so that took care of that! "I was offered singing jobs all over the country. But my manager kept asking more money because of the This Is Your Life' show so I never got any of the jobs. "We shot two episodes of my filmed TV series, and then that bogged down and never was fin ished or sold." After a blow-up, Mae and her manager parted company. "I couldn't get a job for $4 a day," she said. Mae, known as the "hard luck" singer, had to hock the gold bracelet Edwards gave her on the show (she since retrieved it from the pawn shop). She had to sell her house. The beautiful new car that was to have been one of her TV prizes never came through. Viewers, she says, objected to celebrities receiving the cars, so the practice was stopped with her. She opened a little nightclub here but had to close when the rent was doubled. Her father also had a stroke. Life Improves "Then I won a job in Bakers field, Calif., and my life began to go up," she smiled She met nightclub comic Vic Perry. After one date he pro posed to her in the middle of his floor show, and one date later they were married last Novem ber. Vic got Mae a record contract at Verve. With the movie pro jector she won on "This Is Y'our Life," he showed the pilot film of her TV series and it finally opened on a local station to good review two weeks ago. .. "The first call after my show was from Ralph Edwards," she beamed. "He also sent me roses." "Now that my life has settled down, all the fiice things he prophesied would happen to me are finally happening." The only stockaded post, be tween the Alleghanies and the Mississippi river, still standing as originally built, is Fort Wil kin's in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

"In fact, one of the fellows said you had to take a sanity test to get on the show if you failed, you were hired." "Susan's Show." the title of her network show, is a comfort able potpourri of sense and non sense. There is a talking table named "Pegasus" and an or chestra led by Caesar P. Pen guin. The instrumentalists in clude such whimsical bric-a-brack as Calvin the Fox (clari net), Bruce the Gopher (drum mer) and Wolfgang the Bear (violin). There is a real dog named "Rusty" and there is Susie who herds this curious crew through the by-ways of a thin plot each week. Works Without Script "We don't have any script." said Susie, "and most of the time we have no idea of what weore going to say. We have a kind of story given to us before the show and we run through it once before we go on. "It's not corny," said Susie primly. "It's not one of those things where you talk baby talk to kids. I know that's not the way I'd like someone to talk to me. No kid likes a show that's too mushy you know, one of those shows where all they do is build blocks like 'Ding Dong School'." Susie, who'll be CBS property until she's 18. receives S2 allow ance each week and the rest of her salary goes into a trust fund. "TV? I like it. And I watch it. But not too much. I like funny shows and stuff. To me, TV is a kind of pastime when you have nothing else to do on a rainy day."
