fN'ew York OF) Reflections
of a man who has never seen a
flying, saucer, purple cow, or pie
in the sky but is braced for any
thing: "Fairy tales may come true
it could happen to you . . ."
Frank Sinatra never could have
dreamed how right the words
were that opened his big hit
ong of a few years back.
But now ... if a satellite cow
doesn't jump over the moon,
soon, while little dogs laugh in
their orbits and flying dishes
run away with flying spoons
if such things don't happen, it
seems, then there will be occas
ion for surprise.
Herd 'Round World'
The joke that blossomed right
after Sputnik II went aloft was
that the Russians had plans to
place a lot of small cows in a
fleet of satellites circling the
earth and call it "the herd shot
'round the world."
This joke may someday turn
out to hold as much truth as
wordplay. Herds of cattle al
ready have flfcfVn through the
air, as matter of routine inter
national commerce, and without
missing a cud chew, on commer
cial airliners equipped as freight
transports. If you had tried to
sell that one as may-come-true
story to anybody in this world
50 years ago, you'd have been
classified as a fairytale believer.
And for that matter, who
would have thought, when the
first horseless carriage putt-
putted down the cobblestones in
Great Grandpa's day that it
would metamorphose by 1957
into a huge gleaming palace of
metal and glass, with automatic
transmission, air-cushion shock
absorbers, 300 - horsepower mo
tor, and a little box on the dash
board through which you could
hear Elvis Presley 1,000 miles
away?
Convertible Saucers?
Never mind the auto. Take
Elvis Presley alone. Chances are
that if you had asked Great
Grandpa to envision the likes of
him, the old gentlemen would

Mrs. R. B. Helen should be
more considerate of her hus
band. Helen A. She shouldn't tell
me how to treat my husband.
Mrs. R. B. I am a woman
who learned too late in life that
my marriage could have been
happier. After my husband died
I realized how much I cared for
him, how I could have made him
and myself happier if I had only
shown him the little attentions
he deserved.
I am trying to pass on the
benefit of my experience to my
daughter, who is in her early
20's. She has been married three
years and has two small chil
dren. I realize she has her hands
full, but just the same she should
take the time and trouble to be
particularly considerate of her
husband.
Helen doesn't seem to see
things my way. She feels as long
as she does her job in the home
she's doing enough for her hus
band. Helen A. In the first place,
I should explain I love my hus
band and he loves me and we're
very happy together. It's true I
sometimes yell at him and there
are days when I'm so busy I'm
not even aware he's at home,
but I'm sure he understands I
love him and he doesn't hold it
against me.
My mother constantly embar
rasses us by saying, "Why don't
you kiss him when he walks in
the door?" or "Why don't you tell
him he's wonderful for having
mowed the lawn?" Well, we just
dont talk or act that way. Dan
would think I'm crazy if I kept
saying he was wonderful.
Jacksonville Class
Visits Library
The junior class of Jackson
ville High school observed
"Know Your Public Library
Month" with a visit to the Med
ford Public library, headquar
ters of the Jackson County li
brary, Thursday morning. Mrs.
Clara Wendt, teacher-librarian,
accompanied the 26 students.
A talk by Librarian Miss
Helen Webster on the techniques
of using the library for research,
including the use of the card
catalog and periodical indices,
was followed by an hour's prac
tice work assigned by . Miss
Wendt.
Students were also taken on a
tour of all library departments
and given an explanation of the
part that each department plays
in the acquisition and circula
tion of books.
School classes and others in
terested groups are invited to
schedule library tours during
November, Miss Webster said.
This month has been designated
as "Know Your Public Library
Month" by the General Federa
tion of Women's clubs.
I know my mother wants to
help me, but it's a little silly
and annoying to have her tell
me how to treat my husband.
The Council: Mrs. R. B.'s
thoughts and" intentions are on
the right track, but her method
of giving advice is unfortunate.
She should realize each indi
vidual has a special way of ex
pressing himself. She cannot tell
Helen how to show affection
for her husband without intrud
ing on personal territory. Helen's
husband may have the complete
certainty that his wife thinks
he's the most wonderful guy on
earth without a word ever hav
ing been said on the subject. A
forced effort to show "little at
tentions" often falls flat.
If Mrs. R. B. wants her daugh
ter to benefit by her experi
ence, she should find a quiet
time to tell her about her own
feelings about the past. She
should not presume to advise
Helen, but simply to state where
she, personally, feels she failed
to make the most of-her mar
riage. A sincere expression of this
sort may sink in deeply. Helen
may treat it lightly at the mo
ment, but she will remember it,
if and when the cap fits. Then
she will apply her insight in her
own natural way.

NFIP Adds Million
To Research Work
New York Basil O'Connor,
president of the National Foun
dation for Infantile Paralysis,
announced today that his organi
zation has added $1 million to
its research allocation for 1958,
and that the larger part of this
sum will be devoted to basic re
search. Among the projects which
will be continued and expanded
under National Foundation
grants are studies of how viruses
affix themselves to and invade
cells, studies on the composi
tion and structure of viruses,
studies of the structure and func
tion of nucleic acid (a key chemi
cal found in all living things),
studies of viruses recently dis
covered whose relationship to
disease is still not wholly under
stood, studies of reasons why
certain drugs inhibit virus
growth, and studies of the prop
erties of cells which appear to
have become malignant as they
have been grown in laboratories.
The additional $1 million
brings to $4,700,000 the National
Foundation's research need for
1958, the largest in the organiza
tion's history.
"The expansion of our virus
research allocation," O'Connor
said, "will stimulate further bas
ic research in the virus field,
but does not represent a change
in policy."

Red Haired Woman Has No Effect on
Cheese; Thunder Said Harmless to Milk
Chicago (IP) Thunder won't
really cause milk to sour, and
the mere presence of a red-haired
woman near a cheese vat
won't hurt the cheese.
These and other food supersti
tions were disputed by Col.
Charles S. Lawrence, executive
secretary of the Institute of Food
Technologists.
"There's absolutely no rhyme
or reason to some of these super
stitions," Lawrence said, "but
people still hold to them."
The thunder-milk idea appar
ently is related to the fact that
warm, humid weather does in
crease the lactic bacteria in the
air, he said, and this in turn will
cause milk to sour if it is left
in the open.
"But it's the lactic bacteria,
not the thunder," Lawrence said.
The cheese superstition still is
prevalent in some sections of
the South and along the Atlantic
Seaboard, he said. According to
the belief, if a red-haired woman
tends the cheese vat, the curd
will be "like loose sand and the
cheese will be unfit to eat."
Along the coast of the Caro
linas, Georgia, Florida and Tex
as, Lawrence said, many people
believe that eating crabs and ice
cream at the same meal is
"about like taking strychnine."
In New England there is a
similar substitution about milk
and shell fish of any kind.
"It probably got started be
cause the fishermen felt that
dairy foods were offering too
much competition," Lawrence
said.
"It's obviously ridiculous be-
Lone Pine School Students
Visit Public Library Here
Twenty - nine pupils of the
Lone Pine school, with their
teacher - librarian, Miss Frances
Henry, visited the Medford Pub
lic and Jackson County library
Wednesday.
After a short talk on the his
tory and use of libraries by Miss
Helen Webster; librarian, stu
dents toured departments of the
library and activities of each
were explained. Questions asked
by the pupils brought out fur
ther information about the or
ganization of the county library,
statistics concerning its use and
costs, and the proper treatment
of books.
An informal exhibit compared
children's books currently pub
lished with children's books pub
lished between 50 and 100 years
ago. Bookmarks and library fold
ers were distributed as souven
irs to the pupils, who are mem
bers of grades four through
eight; and application for library
cards for parents as well as for
pupils were given to all those
not already registered as library
users. .
School classes are welcome to
visit the labrary, Miss Webster
said, suggesting that an especial
ly' appropriate time for such
visits is Children's Book Week,
Nov. 17-23 this year. Arrange
ments can be made with Miss
Webster or with Mrs. Nora Mc
Kay, head of the junior depart
ment of the library, so schedul
ing conflicts may be avoided.

Bismarck, the iron chancellor
of Germany, believed in a super
stition that killed him. He
thought that meat and brandy
would cure the gout, despite the
fact that meat is high in proteins
and gout usually is caused by an
over-abundance of protein in the
diet. ,
"Bismarck used to eat a pound
and a half of sausage and drink
a bottje of brandy," Lawrence
said. "Then his aching toes didn't
ache.
"He was probably so soused he
felt no pain."
