Mayo Foundation Or Alvarez base his on facts Tho Wisdom of the Man Who Faces Facts I wish everyone in this coun try would join me in reading the first installment of Bernard Bar uch's fas cinating auto b i o g raphy. I wish then that everyone would thr ill, as I did, over his statement that if one is to succeed in this life, he must learn to decisions and actions -all the facts he can get on a subject. Then he must face these facts, and act upon them and them alone. He must not let himself be influenced by prejudices, or by what he wishes or hopes is true. Only in this way did Mr. Baruch make his first million by the time he was 39. As he says, he has seen many prominent men lose out time and again because they went against the facts, and believed what they wanted to believe. In 1901, Mr. Baruch made $700,000 by selling Amalgamated Copper short at a time when the facts were that the production of the red metal was exceeding the de mand. Baruch knew that, under such circumstances, the stocks of copper-producing companies would have to come down. They could not keep going up as a group of wealthy speculators In sisted they would. Because these speculators ignored the facts, they lost heavily. When I get a scolding letter from someone about a column, he or she says, "I don't like what you said," or. "I resent what you said." or "You had no right to say that," or "You've sold out to the aluminum trust or the AMA," or "You are an ignoramus. " The fact that in my column I quoted from, let us say. a report of the National Re search Council, or a committee of distinguished experts appoint ed by the British Government, does not influence my angry reader. What interests me is that rarely does anyone question my facts or try to show me wherein they are wrong. What amuses me is that, instead of sending his angry letter to the eminent men who gathered and published the facts, the fellow attacks me, missing the point that I am just reporting what was said. Often, while failing to note that I am acting merely as a passer-on of information, he accuses me bit terly of being too strongly in favor of something I wrote about, or of being viciously against him and his group. The only feature of all this that worries me is that so many of us humans are not influenced by facts, but by our violent dis likes or by what we want to believe is true. And this is why so many of us get into terrible trouble in this world. Some times, because of tTiis tendency, some of us lose all of our money, and some of us lose our life. What I wonder is, if our vaunted educational system ought to try to combat this method of think ing? Perhaps it could not change it because it is so fundamental. On Taking a Child To the Hospital ! A recent study showed great i need for more cooperation be-1 tween physicians and hospitals j in setting a child into a hospital j bed without frightening him ! badly. The evidence shows that, first, the doctor should tell the parents more than he usually does as to why he wants the child in the hospital, and what he thinks is wrong. Is it some awful and hopeless disease? Will there be an operation? If the child becomes frightened, will he be comforted by the nurses, or will he be made to cry it out? The parents must be honest with the child and must tell him that he is going to a hospital where he will have to stay a while, so that the doctor can help him to get well. They must not get him to the place by lying to him. On arrival at the hos pital, it is much less trying on the parents and the child if the mother is allowed to go up into the ward and help the nurse pre pare him for bed. When he sees that the mother knows and trusts the nurse, he is much less likely to get panicky when his mother leaves. Some hospitals are now mak ing an effort to set up a system through which anxious parents can more easily find out how their child is doing, as after an operation. Some hospitals are trying to arrange, also, for the answering of all the mother's questions about the care of her child when she comes to take him home. That these new ar rangements are much needed was revealed when a number of parents who had recently had a child in a hospital, told how distressed they and the child had been over certain happenings. Certainly, all members of hos pital boards who have any inter est in the public relations of their institution ought to be looking into these matters, and doing something to lessen the distreesses of the men and wom en and children who use their facilities. In the last few years anes thetists have been trying to less en the fright of children who are about to be operated on. The ideal method would be to put the child to sleep in his mother's arms in his room. An other method is to have the child sit in the anesthetist's lap and blow into the face of a "sleepy rabbit," from the mouth of which is coming an anes thetizing gas. Soon the child goes to sleep without any strug gle or alarm. Later, when he wakes in his room, he has no idea that that he was operated on! Dr. Alvarez hopes his readers will understand that it would be impossible for him to answer requests for information or to attempt to diagnose by mail. (Released by The Register and Tribune Syndicate, 1957) Botanist Finds 314 Water Plant Species Kingston, R. I. HP) There are 314 known species of water plants, with a total of 1,500 names. During the next two years. Dr. Richard D. Wood hopes to straighten out this scientific muddle. Dr. Wood, associate professor of botany at the University of Rhode Island, heads a two-year research project under a $15. 000 grant from the National Science foundation. He will be Gromyko Accused Of 'Falsifications' Washington OP! The United States has accused Soviet For eign Minister Andrei A. Gromy ko of "falsifications" and "blus tering" in charging that the U.S. is plotting intervention in Syria. The State Department said Gromyko seemed to be "deliber ately calculating to break, those bridges of understanding which still sustain our hopes for peace." The unusual personal attack cn the Soviet foreign minister was prompted by statements he made in Moscow at a Tuesday news conference. In addition to his charges on Syria, Gromyko denounced American-allied poli cies on disarmament, and Euro pean, Middle Eastern and Far Eastern affairs.

Riverside Medford Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS Houston, Tex. Sen. Clinton P. Anderson, asking what Is the key to peace in the atomic age: ""The answer might be to be certain the atom goes to work not in arsenals and in guided missiles, but in the simple tasks of turning wheels, testing metals and probing the earth for its treas ure of oil and minerals and in the tasks of medicine and agricul ture." Washington Rep. Brooks Hayi (D.-Ark.) the man credited with bringing President Eisenhower and Arkansas Gov. Orval Faubus together to discuss the Little Rock school crisis: "I have advised with the governor of course. And I have been transmitting information to the White House all along. I have only tried to be helpful. There are many others helping too." Chicago Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D.-Minn.) saying there Is little' the United States can gain by showing anxiety in the Syrian situation: "The United States is a big country and should respond to such crises with less emotion." - Washington Israeli Ambassador Abba Eban, in saying that American arms shipments to the Middle East do not effectively strengthen security in the area: "We definitely think , that in the relationship between the Western powers and Middle Eastern stales emphasis should be placed upon economic development and progress and not on ac cumulation of armaments." United Nations, N.Y. Cuban U.N. Ambassador Emilio Nunez Portuondo, in saying the Hungarian revolt shattered the myth of a Communist paradise for workers: "But something more was demonstrated. This was that it is not true that after the 'death of Stalin, the cruel and ferocious policy of the Moscow government had altered by one inch. It did not change one iota." Method of Exploding Bacteria Revealed Detroit OP) A fast, simple method for exploding bacteria cells was revealed here recently by two research men of the Uni versity of California at Davis. The new method will vastly simplify studies of the chemis try of cell walls and the com pounds inside cells, Allen G. Marr, assistant professor of bac teriology, and graduate student Stanley A. Robrish told the So ciety of American Bacteriolo gists. The cells are first placed in a concentrated solution of glycer ol, or glycerin, which the cells soak up, Robrish said. Then the glycerol-laden bacteria are put in water and as the liquid rushes into the cells, they explode.
